Ipod to hi fi via digital converter

I have previously been using a digital converter from my cd player to amplifier. The cd player had a digital output which connected via single lead (which maybe an 's-video' lead, I'm not sure, as it was made for me and called a black slink)to the converter. The converter then had left and right output channels which went to the amp.
Does anyone know if I can connect my ipod classic to the converter, prior to the amp and what lead would I need?
Many thanks
Colin

Does anyone know if I can connect my ipod classic to the converter
No, the iPod does not output digital signals.

  • IPod Touch Recognized as a Digital Camera in Windows 7 (x64) - SOLUTION!

    Hi guys
    After several days I finally found the solution to this with some help from Apple 2nd level support.
    Symptom: iPod Touch is not connecting to iTunes. Under My Computer you find the iPod as a Portable Device > Digital Camera
    Cause: Windows 7 wasn't able to install the right Driver for your Touch.
    Solution:
    1. Uninstall all the Apple software via Control Panel:
    - iTunes
    - Quicktime
    - Apple Software Update
    - Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Application Support
    2. Delete all the directories related to Apple (Including Apple,iPod, iTunes, Quicktime and Apple Computer -if they are there-) under:
    - C:\Program File\Apple
    - c:\Program Files (x86)
    - C:\users\<USER>\AppData\Local
    - C:\users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming
    3. Restart
    4. Reinstall iTunes (Right click and run as Administrator) but THIS IS THE TRICK!! change the installation path to C:\program files\iTunes (Remove x86) !
    5. Connect ipod
    It will still be a Camera..don't worry..
    6. Go to My Computer > right click > Manage > Device Managers > Find your ipod under the Portable Devices
    7. Right Click > Update driver > Specific location and browse C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device support\Drivers
    8. After succesfully installed this driver you will be able to see your iPod Touch in iTunes
    Enjoy !

  • Premiere Pro 1.5: Best analog to digital converter for BNC?

    Recently I've been looking for an external analog to digital converter (that connects via firewire)that will work with Premiere Pro 1.5 for capturing uncompressed digital video from any source, whether it be BNC composite from a U-Matic to S-VHS via S-Video (either DIN or Y/C BNC) to Betacam SP BNC Component.  It would also be nice if it could import digital sources (i.e. DVCPRO 50/Digital Betacam) as well by SDI. 
    I've looked at a few by AJA or Blackmagic, but I'm not sure if they would work with Premiere Pro 1.5 on Windows XP SP3.
    Does anyone know of a good converter?

    I have NO IDEA if it will work with everything you list, but do some reading at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters

  • Do I even need an analog to digital converter for old VHS?

      I'm just trying the most cost effective way to transfer all of my old VHS & HI-8 material to a digital format for better preservation. Since, why I do not know, PE doesnt allow for analog capture, I need a converter like Dazzle to get my analog source to digital. Or do I?? Can I not just use Windows Movie Maker to capture then import into PE?  Doesnt my capture card do convert?? I have my VCR hooked up via S-video to the card. Is the card not the same thing as an external converter? I just want to know the best way so I dont waste my time only to have to go back and redo everything. Thanx yall

    Thanx y'all. Thats where I'm a bit confused. You mentioned "quality DV-AVI". I'm under the assumption that when I capture an analog signal that I set at 720x480 is a "quality DV-AVI". After I have captured and rendered to an .avi file I then import that into PE. Is that what you are meaning? Or is that an inferior quality video file? The capture card I have is a Legacy capture card that came with Pinnacle Studio ver 9. Pinnacle is a great intro level editor, but it sucks because it's slow, unstable and captures out of sync audio which I have to go in and manually sync. I shouldnt have to do that. I'll spend $100-$200 if thats what I have to do to get the results I want. I'm not looking for HD quality here. I simply want to capture all my old analog media, edit it, and burn to DVD and keep on my HD to preserve it all. I want it to be the same quality as it appears on its original medium.I also want to continue to edit and burn stuff using my Mini DV camera as well. I just want an editor thats above intro level, but not as complex as Premieire Pro. I feel that PE will do the job well. My capture card has S-video, firewire & composite inputs. Is my card not what I'm needing??  Or, do I need an analog to digital converter to get the analog material into a raw digital format thats the same quality as the original?
      To help in my endeavors i recently upgraded and built anew PC so that I would have no problems, seeing that video editing does tax a computers resources. My new build is a Quad core 4 gb of RAM system. So my computer power should not be an issue for home editing and what not.

  • Capturing footage using an analogue to digital converter

    Hi
    I've recently edited a 2 hour mutli-camera show from Digi Beta. We captured
    the footage via firewire, cut the programme and mastered it to DVD for
    duplication. We've now been asked to online the programme for broadcast.
    Presumably this should be a simple task:
    * capture the footage from Digi Beta with an analogue to digital
    converter
    * Export the current programmes as an EDL into a DigiBeta (PAL)
    version.
    * Render anything necessary
    * Import the online audio
    * Output to DigiBeta with the Digital to analogue converter.
    Please can someone recommend a suitable D-A converter? We were thinking of
    getting an AJA Kona LH/ LHe.
    Also, is there anything else we may have missed in the process / potential
    pitfalls?
    We usually offline on FCP 5.1.2 and give and EDL to a post-production
    facility but figure doing it ourselves will be a cheaper option.
    Current kit spec:
    Mac OS X version 10.4.8
    Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz Power PC G5
    Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
    Thanks

    just on the semantics of it ... analogue doesn't come into it
    DigiBeta is digital, so is FCP. you need an I/O card.
    the Kona LHe from AJA is a very good choice, as are the Decklink offerings from Blackmagic Design.
    the method would be to create an "offline" version of your project with the "online" codec/resolution setting of your choice. you do this using FCP's "File > Media Manager" tool. next you would use Batch Capture to capture the media needed to recreate your sequence at that codec/resolution (using the DigiBeta masters via the I/O card to your Mac). then you'd output the upresed "online" version back to Digibeta (again going via the card)
    potential pitfalls ... media manager has a long history of being hopeless
    chck this post: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1075398
    (although apple claims media manager is feeling much better now)
    heres a ink to a tutorial on the process ... not new but still relevant

  • Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's"  after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

    Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's"  after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

    DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
    If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

  • Is there a way to play/convert large FLAC libraries on Ipod Classic, without having to pre-convert each of the folders?

    Hello,
    I'm looking to get an Ipod Classic due to the huge memory it has. The majority of my library is in FLAC and made up of full albums, some with cue files as well. My library is well over 2TB (external hard drive) and mainly FLAC with occasional MP3s and WAV. I'm looking to transfer a bunch of albums in 16/44.1 FLAC on to Ipod Classic. I looked into Rockbox as I did with Sansa Fuze, but as of right now, the Ipod Classic isn't listed. I really wish there was a native way of playing FLAC on the IPod Classic.
    So the next best thing I could hope for is to convert FLAC to another format (ALAC or WAV...maybe MP3 for more space, but really want to stick with lossless). Is there a way to queue a bunch of albums (folders) at the same time and have them converted into another format suitable for playback on Ipod Classic. Regarding this conversion process, I have two aspects I am looking to achieve.
    1) The conversion process should be on the fly. I really, really don't want to convert all the FLAC to another IPod format and then keep those converted files on my hard drive until they are transferred to the Ipod. I would much rather prefer something that could extract my FLAC folders from my external hard drive, process, convert, and transfer to the Ipod directly, without having to keep anything directly on my Macbook. This is so I don't run out of space. Also, it's much more easier that way. I don't care much about the time in this process as long as I don't have to constantly doing things manually. I would like to maybe move, say 40-50 GB at a time, until I max out the 160 GB 
    2) Proper catalouging of the converted files - I don't want the files losing all their tagging information and coming up randomly, disorganized on the IPod. I understand ALAC is better at this as it can retain the data while WAV can't, but I would still like some input as I have never tried ALAC before.
    I looked at MediaMonkey, although I'm not too sure about it. Also, I have a Macbook Pro Retina, so a native app would be the best.

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

    How do we transfer her iPod music to a new iTunes account on the Laptop without losing it all? I am aware of the horror stories surrounding Apple on this issue. If so in ‘Janet and John’ how do we do it?
    Can we just sync the iPod to the laptop? Using her new Apple ID?
    Be very grateful for any help and advice on this
    Thanks Ernie

    More than likely, your laptops do not have the high power USB ports necessary to charge an iPad. They will charge the iPad, but incredibly slowly. In fact, if the screen comes on, it draws too much power and causes the not charging message to show.
    Your best bet is to sync with the computer, then use the provided power adaptor to charge the iPad from a wall outlet.

  • Connecting Digital Converter to Firewire Port

    I have an analog to digital converter (Pyro A/V Link) that I have been using to preview my video from Final Cut Pro on my television. I now want to set this up to convert some analog tapes and now my computer just randomly doesn't identify my converter when it is plugged into my firewire port. Now, when I plug it in to the computer and go to system profiler, I get a message that says it cannot read my firewire drives at all. When I unplug it, the profiler identifies my external hard drive. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do?
    Note: The only change from before is I upgraded to the new Mac operating system, installed my Ram, and installed a newer version of Final Cut.
    Thank you to the great person that may help me...I NEED IT!

    I just switched the cables between the hard drive and the converter and now they are working. Now, just to figure out how to get this beta player footage to my computer...its a never ending battle.
    I don't know if switching the cables worked or if it was something else...I guess I'll never know.
    Thank you!

  • Analog to Digital Converter boxes

    Does anyone think Apple will ever fix iMovie to restore usage of many analog to digital converter boxes that were broken by iMovie 5?
    I have a SONY DVMC-DA1 firewire unit and wish I could use it again in iMovie. Does anyone know what the exact component is that they left out or changed that would cause this problem? I'm just trying to understand.

    The ADVC-55 is capture only. It includes composite & s-video inputs and stereo audio inputs. Firewire output.
    The ADVC-110 is bidirectional (meaning you can both capture and output through it - this is a very good way to monitor your video during production as you can see the actual quality on a monitor/TV rather than just your computer screen, which has limited capability to show you the actual video quality.) It includes composite & s-video inputs and outputs; stereo audio inputs & outputs; Firewire input & output.
    The ADVC-300 is also bidirectional and includes composite, s-video and component video i/o (D1 connector) inputs & outputs; stereo audio inputs & outputs; Firewire input & output; and software that enables you to tweak its video settings. Helpful in cleaning up particularly bad analog videos.
    I've used these things for years and they all work great. I do not believe there is any difference in the internal conversion hardware ... The primary differences are support for one-way vs. bidirectional conversion; input/output connectors; and the software that comes with the ADVC-300.
    If you have basically clean analog video, any of these units will be fine. You can use any analog source (VHS deck, camcorder, DVD player, etc.) and would typically use iMovie or Final Cut Express to capture your video on a Mac.

    Page 13 has the guide for the dip switches.
    You can also test if you get a better result by applying set up or otherwise in switch 2.
    BTW - how old are the VHS tapes and what do they look like before digitising them?
    Are they PALor NTSC originally?
    (The box wont do a great job of converting them either so stick to what they are ).
