LaCie electron 22 blue

hi
i would like to know if it possible to connect the LaCie electron 22 blue (4)
to the newest mac mini.
thanks

The LaCie company itself makes many products, some in France and others in the USA;
not sure of other locations or suppliers they may utilize. Perhaps a call to their customer
relations department or other inquiries directly to them may be forthcoming?
Many companies outsource, but I have not found where (if any) LaCie products would
be made by another company and merely relabeled; possible & easy as that may be.
LaCie has web site links to many countries; the one for the US market is here:
http://www.lacie.com/us/company/ - just remove the /us/company/ and hit return.
{The older CRT displays appear to be replaced by a line-up of LCD panels, but not
all worldwide LaCie sites list them; perhaps there is a reason or purpose in this.}
PS: noted your other post, here:
http://photo.net/beginner-photography-questions-forum/00VVvy
Maybe an auction or wholesale site may have some product...
An older version III of the display, listed here: (note seller contact info)

PS: someone in NYC was giving away one on craigslist; it's gone,
now. One had to get it in person, so little chance of it being a scam.

Lacie Electron 22 blue III connection mac mini

Hi,
I'm trying to connect a Lacie Electron 22 Blue III CRT monitor to a new Mac Mini... I have the adaptor (HDMI to VGA), so monitor appear completely black... no signal.
I connected the Mac Mini to an HDMI TV, and I selected a 1024x768 resolution... so it doesn't work!
Who can help me, please?
Thanks,
ale

Yes,
A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
You can even use both at the same time.

LaCie d2 Blu-ray XL Via Thunderbolt

Using a
LaCie d2 Blu-ray XL
with my 2012 imac. The drive supports Firewire 400 and USB2, utilizing the 400 to 800 firewire cable supplied I bought a Thunderbolt port and I'm only getting 3X speeds instead of 6x speeds. Am I doing something wrong?

BB wrote:
Serial ATA Interface (Rev 2.6); Data transfer rate: 1.5Gb/sec
That is not the read speed of the drive, that is only the interface speed. In the case of CD/DVD/Blu-ray the interface speed is several times faster than the drive actually is. The physical transfer of the bits off of the spinning disk is the limiting factor.
The speed difference between USB 2.0 and FW400 isn't all that much but FW400 uses far less cpu cycles for the data transfer.
According to several sites the maximum read speed of BD on that drive is 10X (just under 45 Mbytes/sec) which is pushing the limits of USB 2.0 and FW400 but the 3X you report means something is definitely amiss somewhere in the system. It could be a drive problem, a disk problem, or something else.
With my Thunderbolt to FW800 adapter I'm getting about 170 Mbytes/sec transfer from my drives that use RAID 0 mirroring and the limiting factor is definitely the data transfer between the spinning platter(s) and the drive electronic buffer.

LaCie d2 Blu Ray Burner not burning in Encore Mac

So I've built a blu ray disk in Encore and all set to burn the Blu Ray disk. When I hit burn, the LaCie drive asks for a disk. When I put the disk in, it waits and waits and then spits it back out. The disk is blank, and is a writeable Blu Ray disk. I am able to create a disk image but not burn it to a blu ray using my mac. Any imput?
Thanks,
Casey

The preferred method for many of us is not to use Encore to burn. For Mac, use toast. (For PC, imgburn.)
I always suspect permissions issues and/or other software taking control.

LaCie d2 blu-ray 8X burner and Premiere Pro CS4/ Encore

Is anyone using this combo? If you are, have you burned a blu-ray movie yet?
I am wanting to purchase a player known to work with PP CS4.
I plan to use a Canon HFS 100 and the H.264 codec.
Any suggestions out there?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question directly about that piece of hardware. Others should be along with knowledge of it.
In the meantime, you might want to read this ARTICLE by Neil Wilkes from the Adobe Encore FAQ. There is a lot of good, general Burning info in it.
Good luck,

Blue Tint Started after I set up TV monitor: dual g5 2.0Ghz

Machine: Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 10.4.6 with Lacie Electron Blue 22 connected to it. ATI Radeon 9650 Driving it.
Problem: It was working fine. Now it has blue tint (haze) to it. It looks like somebody put a piece of blue plastic wrap in the front of the entire screen. When I restart, it will appear neutral white (normal) and then after "a while" it goes to the blue tint and it pretty much stays that way.
What I did recently that MAY have caused the problem: I attached my TV - 37 inch lcd - via a DVI-D cable, messed around with it, got the lacie and the TV mirrored... things worked fine. Better than fine, wonderful. Disconnected the TV, messed with the display settings, then the blue thing happened later (not immediately after disconnecting tv).
How I know that it is not the monitor (hardware): Because the monitor is shared via a KVM between the G5 and my linux server. There is no tint when I switch over to the linux server. I also eliminated KVM problems by trading cables between the g5 and the linux box and the behavior on the G5 was exactly as described above. This kvm thing worked fine for nearly 6 months and it would be quite a coincidence anyway if it went bad while i was hooking up the TV to the G5. Right now I am typing this through a bluish tint on the G5 and there is no tint when I switch to the linux box (likewise, the TV looks fine right now).
Things I have tried: Changing color profiles, restarting umteen times, switching dvi ports on cards, removing tv monitor, etc. I've tried a bunch of things, but of course I may have overlooked something.
I did try to calibrate the monitor at some point in all this mess, but even if I messed something up, when I switch to other color profiles, it still happens.
I feel like it must be something to do with the software. I just don't get it.
I need some help, I've got to do some photography work on the G5 and I cant do it when my white balance is blue!
2Ghz G5 see text Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Solved.
The problem turned out to be the kvm switch (for those that care it is an iomega gcs632U). This is the second one that has broken. I would not recommend this switch. The first time it was something different.
When I tested it, it must have been behaving erratically and worked fine during the test.

Cannot get 16 X 9 aspect ratio on NTSC monitor

Just installed a Radeon 9800 pro Mac edition to replace the original GeForce 5200 that came with the computer. The new card is great and gives 30 fps on the main LaCie electron blue 19" monitor when "Full screen" mode is selected. Problem is ... when I select "External video" regardless of the option selected under "Preferences" in "Output" the framerate drops to 6 or 7 fps. The image on the Sony PVM monitor always shows in a stretched 4 X 3 aspect ratio with letterboxing all around it, top, bottom and sides regardless of what option I select in the ATI preferences on the Mac2TV panel. Now when I drag the viewing window from the main monitor to the External Sony PVM monitor and select "Full screen",(external video turned off) the aspect ratio remains in 16 X 9 with an acceptable frame rate.
Any suggestions out there? Thanks!

A solution for "Video output"
When sending an FCP 5.1.1 HDV sequence to "Motion project", it sends it at 1440 x 1080 and Motion 2.1.1 will open a new project to that size. Once that FCP HDV sequence is opened in Motion 2.1.1 and "Full screen mode" is selected it will play to a full screen in 16 x 9 at 30 fps on the "Main Computer Monitor". In this case the main monitor is a LaCie Electron blue 19". Now if "External video" is selected that being a Sony PVM 1351Q the image will show as a 1440 x 1080 and play at only 5 fps. Furthermore it will create a letterbox on all four sides. (looks like a stretched vertical 4 x 3). Now if a new project is opened in Motion 2.1.1 in HD (1920 x1080) and the same HDV QT file is imported in Motion ; the same procedure repeated, the image will play at a proper size and the 16 x 9 aspect ratio on the secondary NTSC Monitor will be respected, mind you it will still play at only 5 fps.
"SOLUTION"
By canceling the "Video output" on Motion, a full frame 16 x 9 image can be viewed on the "Main Monitor". By the way, that image is astonishing compared to what it was with the previous video card. Now by dragging the "Viewer image" above the timeline to the "Secondary Monitor (Sony)" and selecting the "Full Screen Mode" it will then give a proper full screen image with a 16 x 9 aspect ratio on the Sony PVM 1351Q at 30 fps. The image seen on the NTSC monitors when using FCP 5.1.1 in HDV has also improved to a great degree. It has improved to the point where the Radeon® 9800 Pro Mac® Edition 256MB AGP becomes an interesting solution for HDV editing in Final Cut Studio.

Ghosting with External CRT Monitor. Any Solution Yet?

a number of months ago i saw a LONG thread that, as far as i read, never really solved this issue. I was wondering if a solution was ever found.
thanks, seth

more tests reveal a very perplexing conclusion:
my PB works with:
1. NEC (model #: ??? - looks very similar to LaCie electron blue), with built-in vga cable and apple adapter
2. NEC Accusync 120, with removable vga cable (using both this NEC's supplied vga cable AND my LaCie's supplied vga cable) and apple adapter.
LaCie Monitor works with 2 different PC laptops connecting via vga cable. No adapter needed.
I have observed that the problem is
1. not with my computer, since it works with 2 other monitors.
2. not with the LaCie Monitor nor the LaCie-supplied vga cable since it works with 2 different PC laptops
3. not with the vga cable/apple adapter combination because it works with PB attached to NEC Accusync 120
Which leads to the conclusion that this Macintosh PowerBook 15" Aluminum DOES NOT WORK with this LaCie Electron Blue 19
Can someone explain?

Any Mac Pro experience with 26" Acer-al2616wd

http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/acer-al2616wd-flat-panel/4507-3174_7-322280 37.html?tag=nav
Did a search here and couldn't find anything specific to this monitor. Have a chance to upgrade at work and the Apple display is not in the running. If you've had any experience with this monitor, I'd like to hear it. I will be doing high-end print production on it. I curently have a Lacie Electron Blue IV 22" which looks nice but is square which I hate when making tabloid layouts.
The computer is a G5 1.8 GHz. It's a bit old but it chugs along quite well.
MBP 17" / G4 iMac / G5 MPro (work) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm using a Mac Pro (Intel 2 x 2.66 GHz) with NVidia 7300 and this monitor. I love it. It's amazing. Connected via single link DVI. Beware though, Acer shipped several models with a crippled native resolution through DVI. Resolved by firmware update that service has to provide.
the one big problem is Apple needs to update the video card drivers to solve a blinking display issue when coming out of sleep. For me this is a minor issue for a beautiful 26" display, but getting really annoying.

Cannot default Adobe Reader 9 Screen position on Dual Monitor

We have recently upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.0 and I have 2 monitors on my machine. Can any one advise how can we set adobe reader open on a screen 2. instead of the primary screen. At the moment only open on Primary screen 1.
I look through the preference but cannot find any related setting can be applied. It was working fine on Adobe version 8.0
Thanks

The nightmare of shopping for a new monitor.

First, I apologize if this has been asked before however Ive been searching the internet and on the Pshop forum and cant seem to find solid info.
The monitor will be used primarily for still image color correction in Photoshop (Im still using CS2) such as would be standard in the advertising industry.
I bought a used LaCie Electron Blue 22 IV (a CRT monitor) about 2.5 years ago and I have been pleased with it, but my OPTIX-XR calibration system claims the monitor now is outside calibration parameters [I suppose the CRT phosphors or whatever the heck they are, are burning out?]. The result is I can no longer get the monitor correctly calibrated and I am loosing shadow detail.
I want to replace this with a 23+/- LCD and $1000 is my target budget.
When I last went through the research 2.5 years ago (I dread going through this again) reliable info was very hard to come by and everything seemed to be up in the air as LCD technology was evolving. I bought a DELL (forgot the model#, but it used it same Philips LCD panel as the Apple Cinema but cost less), but he DELL had brightness uniformity issues so I sent it back.
I lucked out and found the used CRT locally (for about $200) which rescued me.
What are the current market options?
Ive read where the La Cie 324 is recommended as a solid budget solution for color correction work. Can anyone share their experience with this monitor?
Ive always read mixed assessments of the Apple Cinema Display, but it is still an option.
Any other monitors on the market I should know about in my price range?
Additionally, if anyone can point me to respected online reviews which have real substance it would be a huge help.
Thanks a bunch for any input.

Thanks for all the well considered replies.
So, there is a dividing line here it seems. Perhaps wide-gamut is a relative term without an objective reference and is being thrown around too loosely (i.e. marketing teams)?
The idea that only LED is wide gamut further confuses things. But, I can understand the point being made...and perhaps the terms has been applied too loosely?
Apple's monitor line hasn't been updated for a while and rumors abound about a new generation of Apple LED monitors. Even speaking of vaporwear, I imagine the first gen will be pricey as are all other LED monitors on the market. Maybe the price will come down if it is marketed widely...but this is all speculation at this point. I could get a smaller (maybe used) Apple Cinema Display to tide me over and see what the market brings in the next 6 months. But I think LED monitors will just be out of my price range.
The other issue and I suppose this goes for the 'almost' wide gamut monitors as well, like the NEC 2690/2490, is the limitations in Apple's computer hardware & Pshop to really take advantage of true wide gamut monitors. A few years back Karl Lang wrote the an article about this. I'm a little lost in the technicalities and have not kept abreast of them, so I have to ask, has the hardware/software evolved since then to accommodate the monitor technology?:
http://www.outbackphoto.com/tforum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=1700
"A wide gamut LCD display is not a good thing for most (95%) of high
end users. The data that leaves your graphic card and travels over the
DVI cable is 8 bit per component. You can't change this. The OS, ICC
CMMs, the graphic card, the DVI spec, and Photoshop will all have to be
upgraded before this will change and that's going to take a while. What
does this mean to you? It means that when you send RGB data to a wide
gamut display the colorimetric distance between any two colors is much
larger. As an example, lets say you have two adjacent color patches one
is 230,240,200 and the patch next to it is 230,241,200. On a standard
LCD or CRT those two colors may be around .8 Delta E apart. On an Adobe
RGB display those colors might be 2 Delta E apart on an ECI RGB display
this could be as high as 4 delta E.
It's very nice to be able to display all kinds of saturated colors you
may never use in your photographs, however if the smallest visible
adjustment you can make to a skin tone is 4 delta E you will become
very frustrated very quickly.
...and...
Only the Eizo 210, 220 and NEC2180WG have 8-10-10 paths. If you really
want to know... the path in the Eizo is "8-14bit3D-8-10bit1D-10" go
figure that one out ;-) The 2180WG has an actual 10 bit DVI interface
with a 10-10-10 path but nothing supports it so you can't use it yet -
but for $6500 your ready when it does ;-)"
Any comments on that? I certainly do not want this to evolve into a dissertation : )
Real world, is the NEC 2490/2690 worth the price?
Still gathering opinions, so keep any ideas/recs coming if you have them.
Thanks again,
Lovegasoline

Laptop screen plays back jumpy video, CRT looks fine

I have a strange problem:
When I play back video from FCP (6.0.6) in either the canvas or the viewer and the window is entirely on my laptop screen, it looks jumpy, sort of like if the playback frame rate was set to dynamic. If the window is even partially (like 10%) on the CRT, the playback is fine. The jumpiness goes away if I set the playback quality to Medium.
I have been editing with this setup for a year or so and only recently noticed this. I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, but FCP is still 6.0.6. Is this a Snow Leopard / FCP version problem? It seems odd that it would only exist on my laptop's LCD screen and not my CRT.
System Details:
I have a 2.6 Ghz Macbook pro with 2gb of ram. The DVI out is connected to an old LaCie Electron Blue 22" CRT. I typically edit with both screens, usully putting the canvas on the laptop screen and the viewer on the CRT. My playback framerate is set to full and video quality set to high. My capture scratch drive is an OWC Mercury Elite Pro set up as a RAID 0 and connected via Firewire 800. My sequence setting is ProRes 422 1440x1080 and the footage was shot with a Canon XH A1. Some was captured as ProRes and some as HDV, but the problem happens with both kinds of footage.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
- Bruce

I suppose that makes sense. I do wonder, though, why it would have this weird behavior where it only does it if the entire window is on the laptop screen. If just a little sliver of it is on the CRT, then it's fine. Also, why would it prioritize the performance of the second display over its main display?
Is there any way to boost the graphics card performance? Would more RAM take some of the pressure off the graphics card, or are the tasks strictly separate?

System Profiler sees LaCie ext. d2 Blu-ray as an int. Pioneer BDR-205

I recently updated to Snow Leopard, Final Cut Studio 7 and Toast 10 with a new LaCie d2 Blu-ray burner.
Toast sees my LaCie as an internal Pioneer BDR-205 for some reason. I checked the System Profiler under firewire drives, and it says the same thing.
Why??? How can I fix this???
Thanks!
Casey

System Profiler is correct. The blu-ray drive in the LaCie d2 is, indeed, a Pioneer BDR-205. LaCie doesn't make their own drives, they make the enclosures and controllers.
When you look under FireWire, it should list the device referring to the controller (LaCie). When it refers to the burner, it should generally identify the device attached to the controller (Pioneer). The rationale is pretty straight forward. When using the device as a simple storage device, the controller is the party responsible for brokering that activity. However, when accessing the disc's burning function, additional information about the drive's attributes, commands, and capabilities is required and so the connected device is directly addressed.
Was the representation in System Profiler causing some sort of problem?

BURNING TO BLU-RAY IN FCP 7

OK MAC FAMILY
I have a 17" mac book pro laptop with:
a)...4gb of ram
b)...160gb internal hard drive with 60gb of free space available
c)...2.4.ghz intel core 2 duo processer
d)...256mb geforce 8600m gt graphic card
e)...2tb western digital external hard drive
f)...intel high def audio
g)...Lacie d2 blu-ray burner w/firewire 800/400 & 2.0 usb
h)...the new snow leopard OS
i)...the new fcp7 studio
It took me 20 hours total from the rendering process of my timeline to the complete burn on to blu-ray disc. The hi def footage total time is 1hr & 50min.
And it took another 15 hour to take that same hi-def footage and burn it to a standard definition disc using the new DVD feature in fcp7.
HERE'S MY QUESTIONS:
#1)what is the average time to burn 1 hour and 50 min hi def footage to a blu ray disc using the new fcp7 through the new new blu-ray feature?
#2)is there a faster way to burn 2 hour of hi def footage in less time?
#3)what is the shortest time anyone burned 2 hours of hi def footage in fcp7?

Hey Charlie,
Welcome to Apple's FCP forum.
#1)what is the average time to burn 1 hour and 50 min hi def footage to a blu ray disc using the new fcp7 through the new new blu-ray feature?
Ages ... seriously tho, sorry, I don't know :/
#2)is there a faster way to burn 2 hour of hi def footage in less time?
Yes, absolutely, you need a faster Mac with more processors to lend to the task. An 8 core Mac Pro with all cores lent to the encoding via a Compressor cluster will leave your MBP in the dust. Or a hardware based encoder such as that provided by Matrox in their MXO2 "MAX" line of I/O devices. My MXO2 MAX will encode 60 minutes of HD content to H264 for BluRay in real time (you still have to burn it to disc thereafter, and the speed of that depends on the speed of your burner).
#3)what is the shortest time anyone burned 2 hours of hi def footage in fcp7?
Sorry, I encode but I don't burn.
Best
Andy
