ITouch 1G software current. Video output

I have read several posts regarding video output. Some seem to be directed to 2G and some to software updates. I want to purchase the correct cable/dock whatever to make this work. I have the first Generation iPod Touch and software is up to date. If I purchase the latest apple products to connect to monitor or tv will I avoid any problems. Are both a dock and a cable required or are outputs on dock generic. I assume iPod cable attaches to dock. If not please advise. I really did not think I was quite this dense but apparently I need help. I would go to store but it is 2.5 hours away. Thank you.

Hi,
To get video output to a TV you can use either of these depending on the input connections on your TV.
[Apple Composite AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjE0NTAz OA]
or
[Apple Component AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4Njcw Mw] I use this one, it's fine.
You can then put one of these inbetween if you wish but it is not necessary.
[Apple Universal Dock|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4NzcxOA ] The remote has limited functionality with the Touch.
Other manufacturer's cables are now available with the required "Apple" chip but I am not familiar with them.
Good luck,
Dud.

4.0 Video Output

Just curious to see if the 4.0 software update on the iPod Touch will allow video output on older/3rd party cables?
Currently, the 3.0 and 3.1 OS blocked that capability.

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

S-video output B&W

Hi,
From time to time I like to connect my PowerBook to TV thorugh S-video (using adapter S-Video to scart) to watch movies with friends etc.
Though, it has been some time (over half a yar) when I last watched a movie on TV that way. Since I know for sure that I have been able to connect my pb to tv via s-video with no problems I can't understand whats wrong now.
Here's the thing. When I connected my PB to a TV now, it shows the picture in black&white on the TV. Anyone know how to get back the colour image? I have the same cable set that I used before to connect to tv (latter is the same one also) without any problems - full colour. So, I think the problem is software-related (maybe os x update).
Can anyone recommend what to do to get the colour back?
cheers,
r. pello
P.S. PB's lcd screen works fine. So, problem only with s-video output colour.
PowerBook G4 (1.67 GHz, 15") Mac OS X (10.4.9) iMac (Summer 2000, 120GB HDD)

Have you checked the resolution/TV type in the Displays preference pane once the TV is connected? If your PB is detecting your TV as PAL rather than NTSC (or vice versa), that could certainly cause a loss of colour like you describe.

S-video output not working for Satellite A60

The s-video output on my laptop is not working. i have tried the Fn-F5 hotkey, but i don't get a damn output on the tv.

Hi
First:
Has it ever worked before?
Yes? then make sure that you don't have a second desktop activated. Go into the displaysettings and rightclick the second screen. Make sure it is not set to "attached".
If your machine also have a composite out, try using that instead.
Does it work?
If yes, your machine is at least software-wise able to output the picture to the TV.
If no, then there is probably something in the software that stops the picture from going out to TV.
It could of course also be a hardware related problem but it is less prabable that both the s-video and the composite-ports are defective.
Try checking the settings for your videodriver.
No?
If an s-video cable was delivered with your computer, make sure to use that one.
Check the s-video cable with a traditional DVD. This way see if the cable and in-port on your TV is ok.
If you are using the cable that came with your PC then you should defenitely check for settings in the videodriver.
If it is not the cable that came with your PC (or no cable was delivered with your PC) try check the manual for hints on a compatible cable.
Sorry for the quite messy respons - it is not easy to write a think-flowchart here.
Good luck

Satellite P300D - No picture through S-Video output

Hi!
I can't get picture through my S-video output on TV. VGA and HDMI works ok, but my TV is older and I don't have that kind of inputs on TV.
The laptop recognizes TV over the cable, but I can't switch between primary and secondary display.
(satellite P300D-12L)

Hi
Listen dude;
First of all you have to choose s-video channel on your TV.
Check the TV settings!
Before you would start any video application, you have to choose TV output pressing FN + F5
If video playback software like WinDVD is already running, then you would not be abele toggle between TV and notebook display so firstly switch to TV and then start the software.

Satellite P300-13J - S-Video output shows no picture

Hi,
I need a little help here.
I have P300D-13J and I bought it with OS Vista HP 32-bit. I have tested S-Video output few times after time I bought my computer and it worked fine,no problems.
But,after a few months I needed S-Video output and I connected cable like any other time I did that(same cable,same TV),and it didn't worked!
I thought it was some software problem,and in that time my copy of Windows 7 HP came. I've installed Windows 7 HP 32-bit on my computer and everything is working super,but I still have the same problem with S-Video output. I need to say that with instalation of W7, I installed all newest drivers from Toshiba web page.
When I try to move screen on TV, I use FN+F5,and it has a button called TV. But if i chose TV,my FN shortcut key blocks and nothing happens.
When I go to Display Settings and connect TV on S-Video,I have second monitor (No.2) and it is called Non PnP Generic Monitor or something like that. I can not change any settings on that monitor,not even a resolution.
So,does anyone has this kind of problems or solution for this?

Hey Stevan,
I had the same issue that I couldnt see a picture on my external monitor that was connected via S-Video cable. The solution for this problem was very easy: I had to change the TV-standard from NTSC to PAL!
Of course its depending on your country where you life but you can find this option in display driver options.
Check this!!!

No digital video output from XVR-300 in Ultra-45

I am switching from solaris 10/x86 to sparc. I have a new Ultra-45 with XVR-300 graphics adapter. It's running Solaris 10u4. The system was ordered as a standard configuration from the catalog.
The XVR-300 graphics adapter currently produces no digital output. My Sun A1240P0 24" monitor reports no signal on the DVI input. That is, there is no digital output at power on (boot ROM), during Solaris boot (terminal), nor after Solaris finishes booting (X).
The graphics adaptor uses a connector with two video outputs, and comes with a splitter cable with two DVI output connectors. I get no video output on either. The DVI cable I am using is the one that works when connected to the graphics adaptor on the old system.
I added a VGA adapter plug to connector 1 of the splitter cable, and was able to get an analog signal to drive the display via the VGA input connector.
The manuals for the Ultra-45 and for the XVR-300 make no mention of analog vs digital output. They both just say to connect the adapter to the monitor.
Since I can get analog output from the SVR-300, the card is basically working. The DVI cable and the monitor's DVI input work with another system. The only variables are the digital output from the XVR-300 and the splitter cable. (The splitter cable's analog signals work.)
How can I activate digital output and make it the default?

Poor iPhone video output from QT Pro

I am creating videos for my website using the File > Export for Web option in QuickTime Pro.
My problem is with the generated file for the iPhone "myfile-iPhone-cell.3gp". The video generated for the iPhone is very poor quality - it is very pixelated when streamed over the internet. I believe this is due to the fact that it is generated by QuickTime Pro at 176x109px, which is about 1/2 the size of the iPhone's actual screen. So, when it gets to the iPhone, it has to be "enlarged" and then gets grainy. If I stream a large dimension MP4 file, like 640x480px (from another software converter) into my iPhone, it looks really great.
So, I'm wondering why the programmers at Apple, who have direct access to the hardware and software, chose to output the iPhone-cell.3gp file at such a small dimension? Is there a way to correct this or am I stuck with what I get? I feel the video quality is not good enough to put on our corporate website.
Any advice on this is appreciated. Thanks.

The cell type movies are meant for ten-year old Nokias.
I feel the video quality is not good enough to put on our corporate website.
Then don't post it. Or enlarge it.
Use a larger export size. The iPhone type. It's for the iPhone: myfile-iPhone.m4v
It's not difficult to figure that out. And you seem to know the answer:
If I stream a large dimension MP4 file, like 640x480px (from another software converter) into my iPhone, it looks really great.
And why not try them all. Why not try? Why so helpless?

Video output quality worse than AppleTv 1

Anyone else who owns an atv1 found video looks worse?
I'm not talking about actual video playback but the video output on 2
AppleTV1 looked great through my plasma even though it's not full HD
1080p over hdmi on 1 scaled by the plasma consistently looked best, with crisp but smooth edges to text and GUI.
Atv2 720p over hdmi looks consistently worse - it all looks oversharpened and over contrasty, with text in particular looking very jagged as well as the spinning timer wheel looking pixellated now
Watching a slideshow there seemed to be visible artefacts as some images moved or scaled whereas atv1 just looked silky smooth
Maybe the current GUI text and icons are not as smooth, maybe less antialiasing, poorer quality gpu
Maybe my plasma downscales 720p worse than 1080p - I need to check on the full HD set in another room but first impressions are not that good
Video playback seems strangely artificial too, almost as though the frame rate has been sped up slightly
Weird as the set should handle 50/60Hz without issue

So a few days in it's growing on me.
There's definitely something different about menu graphics but actual video quality for playback is excellent though I'm not sure it's not dropping/catching up frames at times.
I've watched some HD movie trailers and they look excellent.
Video navigation is considerably improved over ATV1, with FF / RW actually working reasonably well when they didn't before over the same connection. Changing chapters gives immediate starts and buffering seems considerably quicker - at least some of this must be due to newer hardware.
I don't like the top level menu much and preferred the older system but you can pretty much stay in Computers to watch own content.
Video playlists don't work properly which is poor but it took ages to get them enabled on ATV1.
There are many glitches but hopefully they'll get ironed out over time.

What do you need to get video output to external monitor

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Color and have read a few posts that color can't be viewed by firewire to an external monitor. Basically what I have right now for external viewing in FCP is a JVC SR-VS30 Mini DV NTSC deck with firewire connected to my computer. From the deck it goes to a small TV set and a Sony Trinitron PVM color video monitor. What do I need extra to be able to see my color correction in Color on an external monitor. BTW in Color currently the Video Output tab in Setup>User Prefs is grayed out showing Disabled. I suppose that when I get whatever I need to see Color on an external monitor that this tab would NOT be grayed out or would I have to set some other settings.
Thanks.

Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.

No video output to ext monitor in rehearsal mode

(My whole presentation is made up of video and stills)
Hi, when I'm in rehearsal mode (Keynote 6.5.2) i cannot get full screen video output to my ext monitor. It is only a black screen. In 'play mode' the presentation plays fine and it will give me full screen video but then i have no control of the presentation as it just plays out to the length of the clips used in each slide. I managed to save as a Powerpoint presentation which allowed me to use the play function and control it manually but i could not see the current slide playing in the presenter display. It also wiped all my trimming settings of the videos i am using.
Is there a way to run my presentation in rehearsal mode and have full screen video outputed to an external monitor and see my current slide playing on my presenter display.
My whole presentation is video and stills.
I am using an iMac, 2.9GHz i5, 8GB Ram, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
Thanks in advance
Jason

if i use an iPad to control it gives me full control to advance on click
Please clarify;   you use the iPad remote control feature to advance manually a presentation on your Mac, or you are playing the presentation on your iPad.
Did you create the presentation on the Mac yourself and what version of Keynote did you use?
Try this test:
create a new blank presentation then drag and drop (do not copy and paste) four slides on to the navigator panel in the blank presentation
the Navigator panel is the view of slides in a column on the left hand side of the canvas.
check the settings are set for manual play as I described before:
Inspector > Document > Document > Presentation Type:     change to Normal
select all the slides in the navigator then;    Inspector > Animate > Start Transition:     change to On Click
click the video on the slide then;     Inspector > Animate > Build In > build order button > change drop down menu to: on click
if the presentation plays manually, drag and drop the remaining slides over.

Thin white and black lines on video output

I loaded a packaged project to make some changes. (The project was packaged with a different computer than my current. Everything looks clean within Premier. I’m outputting standard Vimeo settings. One of the GoPro clips exports with come-like white lines that cover the screen. Cuts before and after are from the same camera, but do dot display any such problems. The project originally outputted just fine. I originally used neoscene to uncompress the footage. I even ran the original footage through neoscene again, but not change. Suggestions?
Windows 7 - Premiere CS4 - GoPro footage - Cineform Neoscene codec

Thanks Jim. I fixed the problem. I'm not sure what the cause was, but when I re-uncompressed the file using GoPros free software, the files outputed clean again.

IMac 27" Video Output

I currently have an iMac 27" Intel Core 2 Duo model (November 2009) and whenever I connect to my HDTV via VGA I cannot set a resolution higher than 1600x1200 @ 60Hz.
I know the TV is capable of doing so. My MacBookPro 13" with the integrated Nvidia 9400m is capable of setting a resolution of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.
I'm running 10.6.4 and have the ATI Radeon HD 4670. I've tried SwitchResX and whenever I attempt to create a custom resolution, I'm told the resolution may be invalid.
I'm looking for a solution so I may leave my 27" iMac connected to my HDTV on a somewhat permanent basis. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

seemein3d,
I don't know that I can answer your question, as I am currently researching video I/O capabilities for my own 27" iMac. But, I did notice something in your post that might help.
Your HDTV should have a multitude of inputs, but your trying to connect via VGA possibly because you are already using the rest for other devices?
I would suggest trying to connect using one of the digital connectors, HDMI, DVI, or even S-Video. Even the cheaper and/or smaller HDTVs usually have at least 2 HDMI inputs. If you are already using both, temporarily disconnect one of them, connect it to your iMac, and see if you can get it to display 1080.
I would love to have one of the experts weigh in on this one, as this is one of my video output questions. Thanks.

Firewire video output in high def?

Hi all,
I currently use a Canopus ADVC110 to firewire-output my video inside Logic to my beamer in "lo res" PAL DV format. However, the beamer supports up to 720p HD resolution so I'd like to have a firewire video output device than can handle this higher output resolutions (eg through HDMI or component). Canopus doesn't seem to have any capable products.
Anyone know of any options?
Or does it not exist due to limitations I'm not aware of?
Thanks!

assimilation is the bomb. the bomb.
i have been playing it repeatedly from the demo player at symphobia. i think i heard about 2 bars of it and by mouse automatically went to the buy button.
i have to tell you i am the stingiest bloke out there when it comes to buying stuff for the studio. i could end buying all manner of stuff and have a huge amount of things that i hardly use or don't have time to learn that could be covered by other things i do have. i keep a very basic setup and prefer to design my own sounds from scratch. i (we) have recorded quite a few orchestral FX we like to use, but there is never enough. symphobia is going to perfect for my next 2 projects - one of which is a very big one. unfortunately it may not arrive in time. there will be live records in prague but it won't cover everything and i am a little concerned by the reports i have heard from the other composer on the project.
there will be some london recordings but they will sweetening only.
sorry to hijack your thread BTW. i have long admired your music and this was the first opportunity to tell you so.
