Is an iTrip for video signals possible?!

...because if it is, i'm sure it's in the works - - who knows about wireless video transmissions?
how nice would that be to be able to just connect to TV and Radio wirelessly and have instant surround sound video - now that'd be an impressive transmitter
mmmmmmmmm

In theory? Yes. In practice? Unlikely.
There are a couple issues:
The first is the FCC (or the equal in whatever country you're in). I'm not sure what the rules are on "amateur" broadcasting of TV signals, but I'm sure they're significantly different than radio signals. I have a hard time beleiving that the FCC would allow such a think to happen.
The second is practicallity. Most of the world no longer uses broadcast TV. People are on cable or satelite. In order to pick up a broadcasted signal from your iPod you would need an antenna - and those have pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur. The other aspect of practicallity is the fact that TVs for the most part aren't portable. If you want to watch a signal on your TV why don't you use a low tech solution of sub-$10US cables, versus a, probably, over-$50US airwave solution - especially since you're going to have to be in the same room anyway.

  • Solutions for displaying s-video signal on Macbook Pro? (2006 model)

    I looking around for ways to display an s-video signal on my Macbook Pro, but i've no idea the best way to this.
    I'm not really after capturing or recording the signal, but I just need a means that I can view the signal, and to be able to switch to another program running on the Macbook. (switch back and forth from Mac app to viewing s-video signal)
    Ive seen a few products but they look overblown for what I really need to do like the Elgato video capture, and the xlr8 provideo usb devices.
    Is there a way that I could use the DVI socket on the Macbook? I have seem its possible to display the Macbook signal on an external display using this socket, but can it be used to take an input signal?
    Message was edited by: jauqq
    Technical note of what I exactly need this for: I have an old Roland sampler which can be used with an external monitor to aid in its editing. The outputs on the sampler are s-video and digital RGB. So that I dont have to buy an old bulky monitor I want to use my Macbook display for this while I also am running Logic Pro 8 at the same time. And to switch from Logic, to the displayed signal from the sampler.

    The DVI out on your MacBookPro cannot be used for input. In order to see the s-video signal on your MBP display you will need an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-55, plus you will need to run software. You may be able to use iChat A/V, although I haven't tried it for this purpose. It will cost you more than the Elgato eyeTV device, however.
    You will find it much easier & cheaper if you just get an inexpensive LCD display to use with your Roland sampler.

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

    I will be buying an IMac 27 inch in December. What is the best configuration for photo and possibly video processing.Does one need a Mac Pro? Dream machine!

    Just to explain what I just wrote to Laundry Bleach:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • I have an NI5911 high speed digitizer and would like to acquire a video signal from a CCD using it. Does anyone know if this is possible without buying any more hardware please? If it is, how would I go about it?

    The only thing I succeeded in finding on the NI site was about using a different high-speed digitizer in tandem with an IMAQ card but I was hoping not to have to buy an IMAQ card as it means I may as well not have got the NI5911 (a while ago) in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You can certainly acquire video signals with the 5911. The only tricky part is that the 5911 does not have any video triggering options. That means that you will have to either find a way to provide your own trigger based on the video signal (that's where the IMAQ board comes into play) or you can just take a lot of data and keep only the data you need once it is in software. For instance, you could take one large record and then use software analysis to determine where the frame sync occurs. Hopefully this was helpful.

  • Is it possible to "partition" Iphone or Ipad when syncing?  What I would like to do is set up Itunes to use say 15GB for photos 15GB for music and 15 GB for video.  Any help would be appreciated. Thx

    I am using a Widows 7 PC with the latest Itunes.  I would like to alot hard disc space on my 64GB Ipad2 as follows  15GB for music, 15GB for Video and 15GB for photos. I would then like Itunes to autofill from my PC. Can this be done? The same question also applies to my Iphone4. Thanks in advance

    To my knowledge the iPod can only be used as a secondary monitor since you have to boot up the Mac and turn on the secondary display. You would still need a KB and pointing device for the Mac
    However, you can log into the Mini from an iOS device like an iPad using app like LogMeIn, GoTo MyPC or TeamViewer on both the Mac and the iPad. You use the touch screen on the iPad for all control of the Mac.
    As you said,that would be tedious for a lot of typing but you could use a BT keyboard for the iPad.

  • 46SL412U Sudden No Video Signal for all HDMI Ports

    My daughters and I were playing the Wii U tonight on our Toshiba 46SL412U LED TV when suddenly the picture when black and the No Video Signal message came up.  I changed out the HDMI cable thinking the cable went bad, but still no picture.  I power cycled the TV, still nothing.  I am also not getting any picture with any of my other devices that are hooked up via HDMI port (BluRay player, Chromecast).  Oddly, the REGZA-LINK still recognized that the BluRay and Chromecast are plugged in and switches to the correct input when I power either of them on, but i'm still getting the No Video Signal message.
    Is there a setting I've missed that suddenly changed, or did all of my HDMI inputs suddenly go bad?  What can I do to fix this issue?

    To check the Graphics card's funtionality you may go to BIOS menu and see if is it listed or not; if yes, then it's working, and you may have to check the video/HDMI cables.
    Try to boot the PC without connecting any device other than monitor, power cable, mouse and keyboard.

  • HP w2207 Monitor - "No Video Signal" After Power Outage

    My mother has a Mac Mini - 2009 model - that I bought her. It is connected to an HP w2207 monitor I used to have with a mini-display port to DVI [I think, either that or VGA] adaptor. She lives 2 1/2 hours away.
    Last week there was a power outage and ever since she cannot get her system to work. Her monitor says "No Video Signal" and then goes to sleep.
    I worked with her for over an hour on the phone trying to fix this problem (oh what fun). Tried every combination of things I know to fix it. It seems from her description that the Mac Mini is not actually booting. When I have her turn the computer off by (press the power button, wait, press it again), she reports that she will here the disk drive spin up for 10 seconds but then no more activity. The green light is on, but that is it.
    I had her reset the SCM, but that didn't work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Bryan

    See if the Mini will boot from the install disk. If it does, have your mom use Disk Utility to repair her internal hard drive. Repeat running repair until Disk Utility gives the disk a clean bill of health. Then repair permissions.
    Disk Warrior can sometimes repair things Disk Utility can't. However, it's possible the internal directory is beyond help. In that case, erasing the internal disk and reinstalling the system will be necessary. It's also possible that the disk itself or electronic components in the Mini have been damaged which would require repair at the Mac hospital.
    You might want to consider buying your mom a UPC.

  • Ntsc video signal to image file with PXI-5114?

    Is it possible to use a PXI-5114 digitizer to capture a NTSC video signal and reconstuct a single frame to be saved as an image file?

    Hi Jason,
    I think the example Kyle posted is for the NI 5112 digitizer, which has to use an IMAQ board to video trigger since it does not support video triggering. However, the 5114 is one of the boards that does support video triggering, including the NTSC format. More information can be found in the digitizers help manual (online here). If you are using LabVIEW, we have a basic video triggering example that you can take a look at and try out (the example is called "niScope EX Video Triggering.vi" and can be found from the LabVIEW Example Finder or by going to Start » Programs » National Instruments » NI-SCOPE » Examples from your Windows start menu). If you need to acquire the entire frame, that will probably require you to sample a very large amount of data, in which case you may or may not be able to stream it to disk. In the best case, you can acquire the entire frame in a single record without having to do any streaming to disk. Otherwise, you may need a digitizer that can stream high throughput to a hard drive RAID or something of the sort if you plan on acquiring a large amount of data. Worst case is that it is just too much data, too fast, and it cannot be streamed. Perhaps with more details of the signal and your expected sample rate, we may be able to provide some additional guidance on the possibilities of acquiring the entire frame. Hope this helps!

  • Video Signal In Standby

    In order to make my entertainment system as painless as possible, I've integrated Philips auto-sensing A/V switchboxes. For all of my other devices, this works great - whenever something else is turned on, the input automatically switches. My Apple TV causes a hiccup in the system, however, because the video signal doesn't completely shut off when going into Standby mode. Is there a software fix in the pipeline, a currently-existing workaround (other than manually switching the signal at the box, thus defeating the point of the auto-switch), or is there a hardware limitation preventing such a function from ever working correctly (which is the case with the power supply preventing a "genuine" standby mode from being implemented, from my understanding)? My wife isn't into technology, and was thwarted when I forgot to manually switch back a few days ago. Any ideas?
    - Donut

    I must say, I'm impressed at how quickly I received answers - wow!
    And unfortunately, I'm aware of how the system is currently designed - with the output still active, just blanked. I was hoping that there was some form of workaround that would allow the video signal to be deactivated so that the switch could work for my needs. From a programming standpoint, I wouldn't think that the implementation would be too nasty, assuming that the video chipset is decently standard); I suppose it's just a matter of priorities, as with any other project. Thanks again for the quick responses!

  • Continous streaming of video signal on to PDA using TCP/IP?

    Hardware :IMAQ PCI 1411

    can i have continous video image on my PDA , image Acquired by the host PC  using 802.11g wrelessTCP/IP protocol.( that is continous video streaming on to my PDA device.) I am developing an application to transfer video signals to my pda.I would define my application

    Thanks in advance.
    murari.

    I think the only way this would be possible in LV was if you convert the images to the LV picture format, flatten that to a string, send the string over and unflatten it and write it to a picture indicator.
    There are several potential problems:
    1. 7.0 was the first version of the PDA module. I don't remember how much support it has for the picture control, although I believe it should have enough. The newest version is 8.0, which was just released.
    2. Depending on the size of the picture, this can be a lot of data. Since you have a g connection, that should be less of a problem, but it still may be an issue, depending on your frame rate. I once wrote a VI which recognized which parts of an image were changed and used a special (very primitive) protocol to send the data to the PDA (I was thinking of a cellular connection and wanted to minimize the amount of data), but I did that for the LV interface, which was mostly static, and I only detected that when it changed.
    3. PDAs have significantly less processor power than a PC. Depending on your frame rate, this may be hard for the PDA.
    4. The PDA module only supports 8 bit color, and that will require you to do additional computation to make the picture look normal. 8 introduced 16 bit support.
    The upside is that writing the code for converting, sending, receiving and displaying the data is very very simple (assuming you can get it into the picture control format, not IMAQ, which isn't supported as far as I know). Just have a loop run on the computer side which will "acquire" the frame, flatten and send it, and another on the PDA side which will receive, unflatten and display. I think on the PDA side you will have to update the picture pixel by pixel.
    Try to take over the world!

  • Cost effective video signal analysis

    Is it possible to get LabView to perform analysis on a video signal (NTSC) and if so, what devices (DAQ cards, video capture cards, etc.) do I need to look at. We are looking at options to improve our video quality testing at our factory and are looking for a cost effective soultion. There are video signal analyzers out there, but I would like a PC based soultion since the factory is beginning to use LabView for other testing. Any advice would be helpful.
    Troy

    Troy. National Instruments has an entire line of machine vision and image processing hardware and software. If you're processing an NTSC signal, I recommend an NI-1411 color frame grabber. From there, you can use the NI-Vision software for LabVIEW to analyze your NTSC signal. Along with NI-Vision for LabVIEW, I recommend using a product called Vision Builder, which is a prototyping environment that lets you play with most of the Vision fuctions before even openning LabVIEW. Then once you're done prototyping, Vision Builder will create your LabVIEW VI for you!

  • Combining analogue video signals

    Hi,
    I'd like to do the following: Record a 4 analogue video signals simultaneously via a PCI frame grabber card like the PXC200AF fromimagenation. Then I'd like to combine the four videos into one, so the videos are displayed next to each other and I can save them in one video file.
    I also need to integrate Text into the video to display information about what's going on at a given moment.
    Can I do all this with LabVIEW? I'm completely new to video processing with LabVIEW, so I don't really know about the posibilities.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the answer.
    I do have the IMAQ Image to Image 2.vi.
    The Question is: At what rate does that VI work?
    The Way I understand this that VI processes single images only. So if I want to process, say, 24 fps, I'd have to execute the vi 3x24=72 times a second. Is that possible?
    I don't know the exact specs of the cameras, but since they're analogue I reckon that the images won't be exactly 1080p.

  • GTX 670 Power Edition gives no video signal

    Hoping somebody can help here. I've had a long string of problems which seemed graphics card related. Initially, the problem that Windows would reboot with no error message or warning of any kind about a minute after logging in. No problems in safe mode nor any problem if I set Windows to start in Diagnostic Mode. Advice at the time suggested doing a system repair from my installation CD but didn't have time to do this before going on holiday. On return, the problem had deteriorated (or a new problem appeared) - there was no video signal, not even the BIOS screen.
    At this time my graphics card was an NVidia GTX 580, motherboard a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, I-7 950 CPU, 850W XFX PSU.
    I ran through a host of tests to eliminate possible causes:
    1. Tried the card in all PCI_E slots but still no video.
    2. Tried another card (NVidia Quadro) in all PCI-E slots, system booted successfully with video and could login to Windows (difference here is the Quadro is powered directly from the motherboard).
    3. Tried a number of DVI cables with both cards, the Quadro worked with all of them the 570 stubbornly refused to give a video signal.
    Decided the problem was either the PSU or the GTX 580. Returned the latter under warranty and purchased the MSI GTX 570 PE. Installed this and again no video signal but ran through the above tests again with exactly the same results. However could now test the 570 on another system (could not try this with the 680 as PSU on my other system only had 2 6-pin PCI-E connections and the 580 required an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connection). The 570 at least produced the BIOS screen, booted Linux and presented a login screen. Didn't login as the PSU on this system was probably on the marginal side for wattage.
    Decided then that I had a strange PSU problem. It could power my PC with the Quadro, suggesting motherboard, CPU, RAM and disks were all OK but could not provide sufficient power for either the 580 or the 670 cards. Bought a new 850W PSU and have just installed this with the 670 card in and yet again I get no video signal. I am now stumped as to what the problem can be so would welcome any suggestions as to what may be wrong and/or what else I can try.
    Thanks,
    George

    Quote from: Svet on 16-November-12, 06:48:32
    then you should contact mainboard vendor about it as problem is not in the VGA.
    I had given what I thought was sufficient information about the PC spec in my first post. Both what I started with and what I'd changed. But I'll give the full spec here:
    Motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0
    CPU: Intel I-7 950 3.06 GHz
    Memory: 3x4GB Crucial DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.5V • 512Meg x 64
    Disks: Samsung 64GB SSD SATA System disk
              WD 1TB and 500GB SATA drives
    PSU: Coolermaster RS-850-SPHA-D3 80+ Gold - 3.3V:22A, 5V:25A, 12V:70A single 12V rail
    GPU: MSI GTX 670 2GB OC Power Edition
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    The changes were the PSU and the GPU. The problem started when I had an XFX Black Edition 80+ Bronze PSU and a Gigabyte GTX 580 GPU otherwise the rest of the spec was and has remained the same. With my original spec, it ran perfectly happily for almost 2 years but then started with the system rebooting without warning about a minute after login (it would stay at the login screen indefinitely). After running some tests the clues seemed to point to the GPU configuration having been corrupted in some way (from sfc logs). However, if I set Windows to Selective startup, I could login and the system would stay up. I decided to do a system repair from my Windows 7 installation disk but had to postpone this for a couple of weeks during which time the PC was powered off.
    When I next powered up the system, there was no video signal at any time. The investigation I did made me think either the GPU was faulty or there was a PSU problem - all other aspects of the system could be shown to work. I returned the GTX580 as it was under warranty and purchased the GTX670 with the refund. This exhibited the same symptoms as the 580 - no video signal no matter how long I left the system running. I was able to test the 670 in another system and it worked there. I couldn't run this test with the 680 as the PSU did not have an 8-pin PCI-E connector - just 2 6-pin connectors.
    I then added an NVidia Quadro card alongside the 670 and booted the system with this as the display GPU. This gave me a video signal at all times and more importantly allowed me to get into Windows and check if it recognised the 670 in Device manager. It did but reported a problem as, until now, I hadn't been able to load the 670 driver. I did this and rebooted - again no video signal during post and initial Windows boot but I did get video as soon as the newly installed driver was loaded. This is the state I'm in now other than I've flashed the vbios as suggested and the GPU no longer works on my other PC.
    Note, I can happily remove the Quadro and boot the system with just the 670, except I don't get any video signal until Windows has loaded the 670 driver - the monitor light stays stubbornly orange till that point. After that, everything seems to be fine - I don't get the reboots that this problem started with. The only other clue I have is with my original spec I always had a problem from shortly after building it where I would need to power cycle the system most times as I could not wake it from hibernate mode.
    I'm hoping this helps as I know I have run out of ideas of things to do. The only thing I have left to try is update the motherboard BIOS.
