Input device control, VTR ok, no vid/aud digitizing

Using FCP 5.1.4
sony hdv 1080i deck
capture settings:
firewire NTSC
Blackmagic NTSC - 8 bit
This is one HDV tape for a project with 34 beta and digibeta tapes, which were all digitized at 8 bit.
I'm gettting a TC signal and device control, but no audio or video while digitizing.
Any heroes out there tonight?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Update:
I've just taken the firewire cable out of the front of the G5 and instead put it through an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface and the video's coming through fine through that. Anyone know why this would be the case? (Same cable so obviously not a cable problem either).
Cheers,

XY graph as control input device

I'm trying to use a XY graph as an input device (virtual joystick) that controls a crosshair nad also provides coordinates inside a live video feedback from a webcam in labview 2012 64bit , but I can't get the VI to work properly. I've made the VI for the "virtual joystick" and for the video feedback . I can't figure out how to make the VI for the crosshair.

To use a cursor of an XY graph as a 2D control, the graph does not need to be a control, it can as well be an indicator.
It seems using an xy graph is overkill adds a bit too much overhead, because you only use 5% of the xy-graph functionality. You could easily use e.g. a picture indicator. If you would use a picture indicator, you could even draw some stylized background looking like a joystick as a function of mouse position, for example. You would need to keep the "mouse down" state in a shift register, and only react to mouse positions while the button is held down.
If you want to use a cursor of an xy graph, you should do a few things. For example you should disable "cursors scroll graphs", else the axes will scroll when the cursor is moved past the boundary. Your code also spins the while loop like crazy. All you need is spin the loop when the cursor changes. Use an event structure. Attached is a very simple rewrite of your code. (You still should ensure that the cursors remain coerced to the plot area, not shown).

PPRO CS3 RS-422a device control?

Hello everyone,
     I'm attempting to capture within Premiere Pro CS3 from a Panasonic AJ-HD130DC DVCPRO HD deck. The manual states that the deck is RS-422a compatible and we've been successfully capturing from this deck using machine control with our Velocity HD system for quite some time so I know it should work.
     I've called adobe support, and after some time they simply told me to 'reinstall premiere'. This seems ridiculous.
     I'm on an HP xw8600 workstation using the single COM1 port on the motherboard directly connected to the Panasonic deck. I've gone through the 'device control' settings in premiere and set it as follows:
Protocol - Panasonic RS-422
Port - COM1
Time Source - LTC (only option)
Time Base - 59.94/60fps
     This configuration gets rid or the "Device Control Error: No Communications with VTR" warning, so I know it's doing something. But it still doesn't control the deck.
     I've looked into changing some of the settings on the COM1 port in Windows XP64 device manager, but I'm not sure of what it should be and left it default.
     Any ideas, thoughts or experience with this would be greatly appreciated. This is a rather popular broadcast DVCPRO HD deck and it seems that premiere MUST be capable of communicating with it... that's what the "PRO" stands for right?
     Thank you.

Since the computer's COM port is RS232, you'll need to convert that to RS422 as well as accommodate the connector genders at each end. The Addenda RS-2/3R cable does this in one neat package. See at www.addenda.com.

Internal Device Control request

I have a kmdf usb bus driver to connect usb virtual device. In this the device is configured/installed in the usual manner as below:
1. Create a PDO for the child device by supplying h/w id and other ids of the device
2. The usb stack(usgccgp.sys) then requests descriptors of the device using InternlaDeviceControl
3. The bus driver supplies the requested descriptors in the transfer buffer supplied by usgccgp.sys (eg:_URB_CONTROL_DESCRIPTOR_REQUEST)
4. The usb system then sends tne next request.ie control or bulk transfer request via InternlaDeviceControl
It is seen that , step 4 takes some to arrive. ie.once a request is satified by the bus, the next internal device control takes a little long to arrive causing
noticebale delay. This delay was noted by using DbgPrint messages in DbgView.
In another situation I am forwarding a read request coming to the bus driver to a manual queue of the same device using WdfRequestForwardToIoQueue(). After this also, and internal device control is expected to arrive but it arrives quite late.
Why is this so? Is this delay expected? Any inputs from someone with similar experice would be of great help.

Thank you Doron. I haven't set synchronisation scope or execution level but I had mentioned the dispatch type of the queue of the child pdo of the bus driver as sequential. Changing it to parallel seems to solve the issue for the most part. As we know
the internal device control arrives at the pdo. I have set the dispatch type of the fdo(bus driver) as sequential itself. I hope now the request arriving at the child pdo will be delivered to the driver as soon as it arrives.

P505D-S8930 Vista 64x Input device not found

Hello, I have used the voice regognition software on this Toshiba, then one day it came up that it could not find any input device in the Sound section of the control panel, I went to the device manager and it says I have the most up to date drivers. Yet I can hear sound, and it plays music, but the music fades up and down in volumne, and there is no microphone available anymore to input. I did a system restore back quite a bit on the dates, because I could not remember when I first noticed the error coming up, but that did not help either.
Thanks for any help.

Satellite P505D-S8930
..could not find any input device in the Sound section of the control panel
You're missing the Sound entry in Control Panel? Or you're missing something after you open that?
If the latter, try reinstalling the driver.

[SOLVED] Xorg and input devices

Hello everyone,
since last upgrade (including, let's say, about one week changes) or trying to add users to tty group the input devices (mouse and keyboard) stopped working under X. I mean I run kdm and pointer and keyboard are frozen. The problem lies in hal, because when I add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Configured"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
the devices work, but it isn't the solution (for example special keyboard keys don't work).
All /etc/hal/fdi/ directories are empty. I tried to remove /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache, but with no success.

I am having trouble with input device and Presonus Studiolive mixer.

Trying to integrate a Presonus Studiolive 16.4.2 mixer/interface into Logic Pro 8.
All the tutorials I've found/watched/read illustrate a window under audio preferences and the user switching the input device (or output device) to the Firestudio Mixer or something along those lines. This was a feature updated in Logic 9, and so my audio preferences are a little different. I still have an input device but not output and when I bring down the menu my only two options are "built-in device" and "built-in microphone" and the mixer isn't showing up. I am wondering if it's possible to integrate it this way? Is there perhaps an order to starting them up? Or is it even possible to use it with this version of Logic? Universal control is installed and operating (responding on screen to stimuli on physical mixer); running osx 10.6.8

Yes, just checked the Presonus release notes for Universal Control 1.7.2 (the latest), and it has removed support for Snow Leopard (OSX10.6.8), so that may be a possible source of the problem - might be worth contacting Presonus Tech support to confirm.
You could update your OSX, but I'd be a bit careful there - not sure if Mavericks supports Logic 8. If not, I believe there are places where you can still get hold of Mountain Lion (which is supported by UC1.7.2) - a quick net search should do the trick.
Also, I've just re-read your post and notice you ask about the start up order. The Presonus manual says to switch the desk on first, then fire up the computer. This used to work with me, but I've recently updated to a new Macbook Pro and had to start using a firewire to thunderbolt connector, and I found that I could now only get the Studiolive to show up in Logic if I start the computer first, then fire up the desk then open Logic. I raised a tech support ticket with Presonus and they were baffled by this, and couldn't see any reason why it should be, but nonetheless, it's the only way it'll work for me, so probably worth giving it a shot.

Unable to initialize capture device and device control in HDV

I shot with a Sony HVR-Z1U/Z1N and am using a Sony HDV 1080i tape deck to digitize.
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and installed FCP Pro 5 on it. After getting over some time code issues we were chugging along, when on the 4th tape the image on the log and capture screen suddenly dissapeared (I could get audio and could see the image on the tape deck). Well after taking the tape out, checking and rechecking it I popped it back in and ever since then, I have been getting this error mssg "Unable to initialize capture device and device control."
I have tried deleting the preferences and starting from scratch. If I do that, and choose the easy setup with HDV- 1080i60, it gives me this error "Unable to locate the following external devices- HDV (1440 X 1080) 30fps.
I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 this morning and upgraded the OS to 10.4.7 and QT to 7.1.3 and still no change.
Im at my wits end, Ive been working on this for a whole week now.
Thank you,
Bugs

It has been reported to take more than one attempt to correct the installation but, if properly executed on a machine without other system problems, the QT reinstall process does work. The key element here is you must reinstall QT after you trash the receipts. The process is listed below.
x
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
If this doesn't work, then the problem lies elsewhere:
1. your system - user preferences, firewire ports or other system elements.
2. your equipment - camera/deck/firewire cables.
3. your process - not setting up the software properly or using the software erroneously.
Listed below is a troubleshooting process. Not all steps are appropriate but the general process of isolating the problem is useful.

Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas? I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

Hi,
I am trying to Set/Get Volume level of Input device which has only single channel but no master channel, then it fails to retrieve the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo and intermittently kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar for each channel. But this works well for Output device.
So is there any difference in setting/getting the volume of input channels?
I am pasting the downloadable link to sample.

Thanks in advance.

That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

How do I set up multiple midi-input devices:WX5 wind & keyboard controllers

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my system to utilize two midi input devices.
1. Novation Controller Keyboard connected through USB
2. WX5 wind controller connected via VL-70 tone module with midi out cable to channel 1 of my Motu midi interface.
As it is currently setup I am able to play both my Wind Controller and MIDI Keyboards fine, but for some reason whenever I finish playing the Wind Controller, the MIDI Keyboard no longer plays sound (it plays midi fine according to the transport, but no sound is created until I load another patch of the EXS).
What am I doing wrong? Should I be switching between inputs in Logic somehow? How can I setup my system to be able to jump back and forth between my midi keyboard and wind controllers? I have done no setup besides cabling the devices in the AudioMidi setup (outside of Logic).
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

This is just a guess, but if the last thing your wind controller puts out is a volume message of zero (as I think it would do as you stop playing the last note) then you would need to send a volume message to the sound module to reset it to the desired volume.

Can I use a MIDI keyboard as an input device for a software instrument?

I have a Casio CTK-2100 that I am currently playing around with in Logic Pro 9. It can record and playback the different instruments fine using MIDI tracks. But I was wondering if it is possible to use the keyboard as an input device for a software instrument instead of the "Step Input Keyboard".
Is it? If so, how do I set it up?

Yes, the terminology can be a bear, many, many years ago when I started using Logic the manuals were written completely by the programmers, while they were quite humorous in places the were also really hard to understand so I learned/realized.. you can't really do anything so wrong it's going to destroy your computer so why not go ahead and experiment. I learned the basics of Logic without a manual, months later when I went back to find some some details I could figure out the manual made a lot more sense.
Logic has been somewhat Appleized but it's not really an Apple program, it was purchased almost as developed as it is now... a lot of the additions a fluff to make it easier to understand for new users while at the same time there are some real improvements.
This is personal opinion: With all of the forums/online tutorials...etc...etc. It seems users are learning (but not understanding) the same things, plus everyone wants to use it right away so nobody takes a deep breath and investigates on their own. Logic is a deep, deep program, while learning don't be afraid to go off on a tangent and explore the program without any other input, it can actually be inspirational. One other thing good about the manual or "Online Help", in looking up a function you will invariably come across a related concept that will provide further insight.
And..... have fun.

How can I remove a Input device from my Mac?

Hello, I would like to know how I can remove a input device from the Sound area in System Preferences. I installed Wiretap Anywhere a sound input program for my Mac and did not realize It was not supported for Moutain Lion. I put the application in the trash and then emptied the trash can. Now whenever I try to start GarageBand or a program like that it crashes my computer. In the Input tab of Sound (System Preferences) It is listed as Wiretap: System Audio.
I would like to remove this from the Input tab so I can use my Mac reguarly. Any Ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Justin

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Remote System Input Device Not Working

Hi,
when i try to connect remote system through RDP, input device (Keyboard & Mouse) in remote system is too slow, it takes more time to respond. Tried to take RDP from different system but same problem.
Looking forward for your response.
Regards
Mohan Rao R

Hi Mohan,
Since the slowness of displaying mouse movement and input from Keyboard does happen to multiple systems, seems like poor performance to me.
You may improve performance by increasing network bandwidth, reducing workload on the Terminal Server, updating video and network card drivers.
