K3 Breakout Box and HD Monitor

Hello everyone,
I am just trying to confirm something here. In regards to the Sony PVM-14L/5, I read that you don't need the HD-SDI board to monitor the HD footage. Instead, if you have a Kona card and a Breakout Box, you can connect the two using the component outputs/inputs. What confuses me is that the PVM offers both component and composite, but the K3 Box offers only composite.
Has anyone tried or heard of this working? I hope it does; would love to save $1200.
Thanks In Advance!

Just got the confirmation, the K3 does offer component and so it will work with the PVM as a direct feed; no need for the HD-SDI board.
Spectacular!

Source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half

I have adobe premiere pro cs6 and source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half. So the top half of both monitors are black and the bottom half is where the video displays. But you can see that the video is missing the top part. Like people's heads are cut off and can only see body. How can i fix this so premiere pro cs6 will use the full monitors boxes to display my video?

This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

Setting up displays and preview monitor with Quadro FX1700

Hi,
I am using a Quadro FX1700 graphics card with two DVI displays and a montitor with component connection to the PNY breakout box. I want to have a spanned desktop on my DVI displays and use my component monitor to preview video in Premiere.
Is this possible (it should be as the card is designed for use with premiere) and how do you d set it up? The nVidia control panel only seems to allow two displays at one time..!!
Thanks!!!

Does no one make a Firewire to HDMI breakout box?

Back in the day I used a small inexpensive ($200) analog breakout box to get SD video from my PowerMac G5 workstation to a broadcast NTSC monitor. Firewire ran from the mac to the box, and Final Cut treated the box as if it were a camera or a deck receiving signal. The box had component out which ran to the monitor. Relatively inexpensive and worked great.
What I'm wondering is why I can't find a similar solution for HDMI in today's HD digital world? With a Mac Pro you can just send an HD signal directly to a second or third monitor, but with a MacBook Pro you can only connect one display so if you're already using an external display there's no way to also send a signal to a video monitor. Are there no options that don't involve $2,000+ AJA boxes? Thanks.

Well thankfully the Macbook Pro to which I am referring is in fact a 17" model with expresscard slot. So what I'd need is this $449 Matrox MX02 Mini?

That's actually not too bad. I mean it sure beats having to buy a $2,000 breakout box.

Can garage band handle 8 mike inputs at once with a breakout box?

We are wanting to do a rough live recording of our band onto seperate tracks in garageband so we can get the levels of each instument right in the final mix.
Can we simultaneously monitor 8 inputs and record 8 tracks at once?
Which is the best breakout box to use?
Any ideas appreciated.

You might want to check out the broader selection on Sweetwater's site:
http://www.sweetwater.com/c683--FireWireAudioInterfaces
I like the RME Fireface. If your budget can support it, it's very reliable.
In addition to Presonus, there are other good choices from Motu, Mackie, Metric Halo, etc. I'd just stay away from Digidesign hardware designed for protools.

Breakout box question

Hi all anyone recommend a cheap but decent breakout box that will work with my FCP set up. I have a G5 a sony DSR Dvcam deck and a mixer with xlr outs. Someone suggested a black magic card with lots of audio outs but its £500! Anyone know of something that will work for less. I'm running FCP 6. I have a mic connected to the mixer and want to use the mixer to monitor the levels into and out of the deck, FCP and mic.
Many thanks

Connect the mixer to your DVCam VTR's analog audio inputs and outputs. When you need to record with the mic to your Mac, simply switch the DVCam VTR's input to Video or S-Video. When monitoring the output of FCP, switch the DVCam VTR's input to DV (Firewire).

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro- Breakout Box/ AD_LINK Cable Broke

I purchased an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro from Creative's eBay store this past January. It was described as refurbished with a -year warranty. It worked fine for several months under both Windows XP 64-bit and Linux (amd64 arch). Then, the breakout box just stopped working. At first I thought it was a driver issue, so I tried reinstalling everything- no luck. Then I realized that not even the power light came on on the box. I tried putting the card in another PCI slot, rearranging cables.
I contacted Creative several months ago and after several email arguments and hour-long phone calls, I gave up. They insisted that they only offer 90-day warranties for their ebay auctions... Being so much later, the ebay auction link was dead- no way for me to prove anything. Creative's best offer was to RMA it for $0+shipping or something ridiculous like that.
I don't want to buy a whole new card because I now it works to some extent- it shows up under 'lspci' in Linux and in Windows Device manager. I suspect it is either the cable or the breakout box but I really have no idea.
Any way I could test this- and even if, how can I purchase just the box or the cable by themselves- I couldn't find anything online.
Any ideas?Message Edited by phoneloserchi on 2-22-20072:28 PM

No, I'm afraid it is not, the X-Fi does not have the same connector for that breakout box.

Why do we use the CAN breakout box.

Hi,
I am relatively new to the CAN networks and i am having some difficulties understanding some basic concepts and i would be grateful if someone can help me out.
so my questions are as follows:
what's the use of the CAN breakout box apart from providing external power?
i am working with the following equipments
NI - 9862 and NI cDAQ-9174 chassis.
I would like to know what model of CAN controler is present in the NI 9862 module and where is the microcontroler found, in the Ni 9862 module or Chassis?
Thanking you in advance.

Bonjour,
je suis nouveau en ce qui concerne le réseau CAN et j'ai du mal à comprendre des petits chose. Je veux savoir quel modèle de controleur CAN est présent dans le NI-9862?
où se trouve le microcontroleur dans le chassis ou le module ni-9862?
est-ce que je peut connecter 2 modules NI 9862 directement sans passer par le boitier d'extension?
Cordialement.

Here is the data sheet for the 9862.
http://www.ni.com/datasheet/pdf/en/ds-97
The 9862 includes everything except the chassis. A USB or Ethernet based cDAQ chassis is all you'll need to read and write CAN using the XNET library which I'm a big fan of. Or if you are wanting to go the embedded design you'll want a cRIO chassis, or one of the chassis with an embedded PC which can run head-less. These get a lot more expensive and you'll want to make sure the chassis is compatible with the 9862 some of the older ones are not.

Macbook pro and ViewSonic monitor

Yes I have a 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro and a View Sonic Graphic Series G90f monitor. Every time I connect the monitor to the view sonic the display losses color tent. It's almost like it's using a new custom display profile even tho it says it's not. Had anyone had an issues where you plug in a view sonic monitor and the color get's almost a little dull looking?

It does sound like a color profile problem. There is a checkbox that will list other profiles, versus only those lited for the detected monitor. Uncheck the box and try some of the listed profiles.
I had the same problem on a Polaroid LCD TV, and I was able to find a profile that gave much better results.

IE 8 Size of Windows, Boxes and Menus

Satellite A665-S6086, Win 7 Home Prem 64, IE 8.
1. I want every window to open full-size, not reduced size, without double-clicking the window title, clicking the maximize icon or dragging the window borders after opening. What settings should I change to do this?
2. I recently compared information on two sites by dragging the entire window of one site half-way down the screen, i.e., I was looking at the top half of both sites simultaneously. I dragged the window back up before I closed it. Now, after the first one during a browsing session, subsequent windows open half-size with the bottom located half way up the screen. How can I get all windows to open full size?
3. Even when windows are full size, whether in IE or not, dialog boxes and menu selections often run off the bottom of the screen when using the laptop display or an external monitor. It is much worse when I use my 32-inch HDTV. All display, monitor and TV setting are either selected automatically by Windows or set at the optimum recommended settings. I tried adjusting the TV aspect ratio to maximize the view of dialog boxes and menus, then returned the settings to view content. To get around these problems I go to Control Panel, Display, and set the magnification lower when working with the offending menus and boxes, then return to my preferred settings, but shouldn't they fit (or be able to be scrolled) at 125% or 150%? Monitor connected by VGA, HDTV by HDMI.
Can the answers to any of these questions be found in any online documentation from MS or Toshiba? Any help would be appreciated.

I can provide a partial answer to my questions.
1 and 2, regarding the size of windows: To get all windows to open full size, open a window and, if it is not full size already, use the pointer to drag the borders to the size you want for all subsequent windows. DO NOT USE THE MAXIMIZE ICON (the square near the upper right-hand corner). Right-click a link on the page and select Open in a New Window, and again drag the borders of this new window to the size you want. When you have opened two windows that you resized, go back to the first one and close it by pressing the CTRL key then clicking the Close icon (the X in the upper right-hand corner). Repeat this for the subsequent windows in order. Now all windows should open to the size you want. This is the procedure as described in the Microsoft Answers web site.

Audigy 2 ZS Breakout Box stopped work

Hardware:: Audigy 2 ZS (Internal Breakout Box)Im not sure what has happened, I had my power supply fail over the weekend and now my breakbox wont work, everything is hooked up correctly, Ive triple checked everything. I have read thru many other threads where people have had the same problem and have tried what everyone has suggested still not works. I have the proper drivers, volume is up, its getting power, I can see the optical out glowing red, Ive tried 2 different sets of speakers and headphones, still nothing. Everything works fine from the card its self. I even have a second card here that I tried using, still nothing. Could my power supply have damaged it's
----EDIT----
Ok, so 22 views now and no reply? whats going on? This is a great product but the support is total **bleep**! Not to mention all you poor people on vista, wow, I thought you guys were like the best of the best? A simple yes or no would suffice so i know if I need to buy a new one.Message Edited by CademiaX on 05-07-200706:28 PM

Try swapping with another power connector for the I/O dri've bay. Some other users in the forum mention before that swapping with another power connector for the I/O dri've help fix some problem they encounter.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Can't get breakout box to w

Hi, I bought an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum from a friend, and he had lost the driver CD. I connected it and used the drivers I got off Creative's website, and the card works perfectly, but I can't get the breakout box to work. I connected it internally to the card, I don't know what else is left to do. Are the drivers the problem, do I need a specific app to make it work, or is it maybe a connection problem?

Hey!?Big Problem... my break-out-box doesn't work any more, too.... but it is powered on!?There is no possibility to use the mute function, IR-control, CMSS-Control or to do anything else with it... simply dead, although it is powered on. LED is green and at the optical out i have a red one shining. I tried cleansweap and reinstall drivers, nothing changed the situation. Cable are correctly connected, i didn't change the last years. I'm also missing the extended connection possibilitys in my "sound and speakers" options... formerly there where a lot more, now there are only?fi've or six controller bars.WHAT HAS HAPPEND? Is it normal that there are three steps with the CMSS options like: CMSS, CMSS2 and STEREO SOUND? I remember that formerly there was also CMSS3... correct? Maybe this is another wrong thing... Any hints regarding this box and controller problem?Thanks a lot in advance,Alabaster

Looking into breakout boxes

yes breakout box,a/v deck,analog to digital convertor whatever youd like to call it..
i went to a computer store today they only had a few and the only one that exported it into firewire said nothing about Macs on the back so i didnt buy it..just looking for something not to silly exspesive just to have rca and s video inputs and a FW output..thanks

Hi Ian,
I use the Canopus ADVC-100 and ADVC-110 (current model). They work great. Street price is around $220 USD The Datavideo unit that Ian Brown mentioned is a good unit also. For what it's worth, I would be cautious about the Miglia Director's Cut boxes, a fair number of people I know have had problems with them.
You don't have to worry about Mac vs PC if you are using an external converter.
The other thing you might consider, is to use your video cam as your analog/digital converter - as long as it supports AV/DV passthrough.
