Line Chatter reduction

Does anybody know the best way to eliminate or reduce line chatter caused when an image is digitally moved? For example, newspaper clippings or line art or maps?
Thanks!!

What you are seeing is sometimes described as "image flicker". The flickering is an artifact of the interlaced nature of video. It is a result of very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text or titling. This can also be the case in scanned images with great deal of detail with high contrast.
As the alternate fields play, the flashing element is essentially being turned on/off. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays and/or to reduce the amount of contrast so the difference between ON and OFF is not so noticeable.
Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
• (in FCP) field order>none
• (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas. You can also work to reduce areas of very high contrast.
• (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
• (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
• (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
• (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images
Remember: Unless you are viewing your work in the appropriate external NTSC/PAL monitor, you are playing blind. The computer monitor only shows you a half resolution proxy image.
good luck.

  • Lines of Amount type 0200 (reduction) not appearing in FMRP_RW_BUDCON

    Dear experts,
    I would like to ask you about the following incorrect scenario we are facing:
    in my client, the PO creates commitment, then the GR recudes that PO commitment and whenever the invoice is created, it reduces the GR commitment.
    This would be a normal picture at FMRP_RW_BUDCON for a complete delivered and invoiced PO:
    PO       0100     1,000 EUR
    PO       0200    -1,000 EUR (at the moment of GR creation)
    GR       0100     1,000 EUR
    GR       0200    -1,000 EUR (at the moment of the invoice creation) --> this is the missing line
    Invoice 0100     1,000 EUR
    However, we are having cases in which the line GR 0200 is missing and therefore it is resulting in double Budget consumption.
    Do you know what this can be happening?
    I am wondering if these missing 0200 lines were ever appearing in the report. Could it be that those lines got missassinged (to unproper combination of Fund Center and Commitment ítem) by the execution of the reconstructions transaccions (FMCD, FMCN, FMCT, FMN4N, FMN0, FMAVCREINIT)? Is there a way to find out if those missing 0200 lines are in the system under any other address?
    In case the missing 0200 lines were never created, is there any way to make them appear so that we do not get doublé consumption?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you very much.
    Best regards,
    Mercedes.

    Dear Mercedes,
    As a premise, I believe you are updating GR and IR in transaction OFUP and you have verified that there are no correction notes for your EA-PS package and component PSM-FM-UP-FI-GR.
    As a start, I would check the related FI document generated by the GR posting.
    You can use report RFFMS009 for this. This report will show you the FM Account Assignment derived and the one that was posted. This might help you to identify if the reason of missing 0200 records were related to your derivation rules in FMDERIVE.
    For the same, you can run FMDERIVE (see note 666322) and post a similar GR to see if the commitment item and the funds center are correct.
    It might be the case also that the financial transaction of the commitment item used in the GR reduction is not updating PSM-FM. Please make sure that the financial transaction is equal to 30.
    Best Regards, Vanessa.

  • Reducing PDF-size: automatic reduction of datapoints that are used to draw lines in a 2d-axis system within report

    Creating fancy pdf-files for costumers and other purposes is great. However, if the experimental data include many datapoints (>200000) a line-2d-graph ends up in a very big pdf-file. Especially when many pages need to be used.
    Explanation:
    When I use lines to show experimental data in 2d-plots the size of my PDF-file is directly influenced by the number of datapoints used. The more datapoints are used to draw lines within the graph, the bigger the exported PDF-files of the report are.
    It would be great to limit the number of points used to draw a line as it can be done with markers without using the curve transformation option. - Hence, e.g. plotting a line with the help of 200 datapoints is usually as good as showing the same line based on 200000 datapoints but the pdf-size is significantly reduced. You can imagine that when this would be done via the transformation option a long lasting script would be needed for each line to reduce the number of datapoints shown. Hence, the plotting within the report and the actualisation of data would need very long.
     

    Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.

  • Error - GR reduction not possible in MIRO (Message no. FICUSTOM350)

    Hello Gurus,
    I am getting error while doing MIRO (GR reduction not possible. Wrong cmmt item (fin. trans. 30) in GR/IR acct) .
    I have activated FM - BCS. In Customizing transaction OFUP (Make other settings) I have ticked GR and INV and my update profile is 000101 (Payment budget; Payment basis ; Posting date).
    I have created a commitment item for GR/IR specific and assigned financial transaction 40 then also system is giving the same error. The issue is system is not creating a FM line item for GR/IR clearing account at the time of MIGO but only creating for P&L item (Debit Part). Now when we post MIRO system is looking for FM line item for GR/IR (which should have been created during MIGO) for clearing hence error appears.
    Please let me guide if I have missed some configuration or have done some wrong configuration.
    Full Error description is :
    GR reduction not possible. Wrong cmmt item (fin. trans. 30) in GR/IR
    acct
    Message no. FICUSTOM350
    Diagnosis
    You are trying to reduce a goods receipt line (GR) with an invoice (IR).
    However, the GR/IR clearing account has an incorrect financial transaction ('30'
    instead of '40') in the commitment item.
    System Response
    The system cannot calculate a GR reduction. This is not a program error, but
    rather an inconsistency in the customer master.
    In order to calculate the GR reduction, Funds Management (FM) updating has to
    create original records for the GR lines with value type '54' and transaction
    'RMWE'. Otherwise it is not possible to calculate the reduction.
    Procedure
    Correct the commitment item of the GR/IR clearing account. If necessary,
    reconstruct the document in FM.
    Regards
    Rohit

    Hi,
    Sorry, I have a question about message FICUSTOM350. I also encounter this error message when we do MIRO and set the AP amount = 0. I try to set GR/IR as '40' but I found GR/IR account will not determint through FMDERIVE. I found this seems the standard behave in SAP. So, I close the message FICUSTOM350 and MIRO is work OK without error. But when I execute the report FMRP_RFFMEP1AX , the budget is incorrect. The system does not reduce the payment budget. Ex: PO amount = 7000 USD, MIRO AP amount =0 , I think the total budget should be 0, but the total payment budget of the report is 7000. Please advise.
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • Can only export 18 minutes of 1 hour time line

    Hello
    I have a completely rendered, for Neat noise reduction, time line that is just over 1 hour long by about a minute.  This was an award ceremony for a client shot on Sony PMW320 camcorder with SxS card at 1080i 29.97 and set up the same in Premiere on the time line.  Lights illuminating the stage at request of the CEO had been taken down much lower than they should have been because they were bothering him at the lecturn where he was speaking in pre-show checks.  Consequently I had to use 12db gain which left me with a lot of noise.  My plan was to use Neat noise reduction and take care of all the render times and mixing of two mono audio tracks in Premiere before giving him a Quicktime file to use in his FCP system and then he would be able to insert the reaction and floor shots from a 2nd handheld B camera which was mobile on the floor.  I did not know if he had a good noise reduction software program himself and just wanted to save him all the labor.
    As I am new to Premiere my first project for this for the time line did not have the audio set up correctly, but the clips were imported into the Media Browser and were able to be worked with OK for a short while before I realized I would nead to redo it for the audio.  From my camera it was a continuous 1 hour take but the SxS files copied straight from my camcorder first to my 2 3TB internal drives set up for RAID 0 on my new Mac Pro from OWC built with their MPG program, were broken into 3.56GB clips of 12 min 32 second lengths.     6 core 3.46ghz CPU and Quadro 4000 GPU  48gb memory for the system.
    On the second and new project with the correct audio settings, I experimented with copying those same files from the camcorder to a different 1TB internal drive.  I must have done that differently, maybe by hi lighting the separate clips together and dragging them into the drive, because when I imported them into the Media Browser this time they came in as 1 continuous file.  And that is what is on the noise processed and audio mixed time line.....one continuous sequence with no cuts or breaks in it.
    Twice now I have tried to export the completely rendered "continuous" sequence to a 64gb flash drive with the USB 2.0 connector on the Mac.  Each time the process has taken about 7 and 1/2 hours and each time it has stopped at 18 minutes and 11 seconds in.  4.29GB copied for both tries.  Does anyone see something here that explains why the export would stop short each time in the same place?  No error messages, and no problem with RAM as I have the 48gb.   When setting it up and the export begins it shows in the window the full 1 hour length with the start and end points it will take it from.
    Thanks much
    Ron

    Sorry for the delay in getting back.  I had woken around 3:30AM and got up to check the status of the 2nd export attempt, and when I found the same situation as the first attempt, stayed up to post here and see what reponses hopefully might be here when I got up in the morning.
    Ann, there are no gaps on the time line as it is one continuous file, due I guess in how I saved it to the other disc.  Just uploaded the one really good Neat profile I got on the individual file segments in the browser from the RAID drive that I had placed on the time line with the first sequence.  The first three of those left a bit more noise in some spots, but a lot of noise still crawling on the right cheek of the CEO in the low light he saddled us with.  Luckily the 4 try Neat really nailed it. 
    BUT....after typing the above I just re-inserted the Lexar flash drive and brought up its info and yep it does say, "MS-DOS (FAT 32)"    Uggghhhh!  Bought it a week and a half ago from Office Depot in town.  Wasn't cheap.... $178 plus tax.  Still have my receipt, hopefully they will refund.  This type of scenario is exactly why I bought that large a size ....64gb.  To be able to have enough space to leave shooting job with a client if necessary and they could mail it back to me when the job was offloaded.
    Is there any kind of flash drive that size then, that doesn't have the file size restriction I can pick up from on line or like a Frys please?  I think the incredibly slow export was due to the 2.0 USB and all the Neat noise reducing information, plus HD codec I guess.  7 1/2 hour export and only 18 minutes out of the hour covered..  Are there any other convenient options to leave with a client, with maybe SATA connection, which would be safe to ship back to me in these situations that could take the jostling from shipping?
    Thanks very much

  • Noise on phone line and broadband cutting out when...

    Hi, I have been experiencing a problem with my broadband dropping out when the phone is in use. I have also had a very crackly/noisy line whilst using the phone.
    After reading various problems on these forums (some sound similar) I wanted to see if anyone else could help as I’m still unsure what to do next. I haven’t really had much help out of BT except for them sending out a new Hub (V3) saying that it should fix the problem. It did not fix it and I have since had a few more conversations, which have resulted each time in BT saying that there is no fault on the line, and it will be £130 minimum call out for any further action.
    I have done everything I can think of in the house to see if the problem was to do with my household wiring including replacing the wiring for my extension. The filters have all been replaced and I have also used the quiet line facility and there is still noise on the line and the broadband still drops out when the phone is used.
    At the moment I really have no clue what to do next so thought if I post up my ADSL line status results that maybe someone would see a problem or maybe have a thought on what to try next as I don't really want to be paying £130.
    My set up is BT HomeHub 3 (option 3) with a BT Vison Box. The problem with the broadband dropping out seems to have started around the time I was notified by email that there was an upgrade on the network completion that was on the 24th June.
    Any help would be very much appreciated as this is understandably getting a very tiresome. Cheers in advance.

    One thing to add, are you sure on how they phrased the info regarding to the £130 charge. That should only really be applied if it is YOUR equipment that is at fault (and on some occassions if you have damaged the external line).
    I have what sounds to be a much more intermittent issue than yours, the vast bulk of my visits have resulting in the engineer not finding an issue (occassionally they do but then seem to lose that info before the next one) and I have never been charged since there is no issue with my equipment and the effect on the broadband can be seen via BT's own logging (ie speed reductions etc).
    There has been some reports that sound like inappropriate charging but really you have an obvious line issue and even if intermittent should not be chaged providing you have confirmed it is an external cause.

  • Only Remote-Desktop and Replication with 0.0 Reduction

    Hi guys,
    I have a solution with 16 WAAS 4.4.3 and I got good numbers in all default applications except Remote-Desktop and Replication
    ( All Traffic 53% of Reduction).
    I can understand not otimize Remote-Desktop Applications cause the customer is using Metaframe with crypto and already compacted and
    using too RDP with crypto/compacted.
    But in the Replication I would expect some gain in Active Directory and MS-FRS Replication.
    I got 0.0, Actually, the optmized traffic is biggest that the Original Traffic.
    I have to modify something in the Microsoft servers to be able to got reduction in Replication Application ??

    As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
    Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
    It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
    The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
    Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
    Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
    You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
    Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

  • In V_V2 the role of Sort Item by date of creation and Sort by delivery date of earliest schedule line for the Sales Orders when Material is out of Stock.

    Hi All,
    Good Morning,
    I am working on once Incident for Re-Scheduling Program V_V2 where the user has requested us to change the criteria for determining the priority of Sales Document based on Sort Item by date of creation. Currently they are using the Sort by delivery date of earliest schedule line in the Variant.
    I would like to know the role these both options play in the Re-Scheduling program V_V2. I would like to know the impact of both of them and the kind of testing I need to perform to study the behaviour of Sales Orders especially when the material is out of stock?
    Please explain with help of examples.
    Thanks
    Farhan.

    This is not that simple that an example would explain how this transaction works but I'll give you some examples.
    Material A has SO1 and SO2 of 10KG each, stock is 20KG so both quantities are confirmed at today. A stock recount determines a reduction to 5KG. This program would change confirmed quantity of SO1 to 5KG and SO2 to 0KG if:
    Creation date of SO1 is older then SO2 in strategy 1
    1st delivery date of SO1 is smaller then SO2 in strategy 2
    Material B has SO1 and SO2 with 10KG each but no quantity confirmed, stock is 0KG. A prodution adds 15KG to stock. The program would change confirmed quantities of SO1 to 10KG and SO2 to 5KG if:
    Creation date of SO1 is older then SO2 in strategy 1
    1st delivery date of SO1 is smaller then SO2 in strategy 2
    I'm assuming a specific configuration, there are many other scenarios possible.
    regards,
    Edgar

  • Line Disconnected in Error

    So, around the 20th of August I received a letter from EE stating that they were in the process of switching my phone line service to their own.
    This was apparently in error and they were notified of this, as were BT, within ten days of the date provided on the letter from EE.
    An ofcom complaint was also filed on the 1st of September (I was suspicious of EE, as I'd never made an application with them and they failed to address their intended client by name so I assumed this was a case of them slamming customers in bulk). I'll be quoting from their official response to that complaint below.
    So after hearing back from ofcom it turns out this may genuinely have been an error on the part of EE: 
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Turning to the information from Openreach, it suggests that EE took over your line on 3 September 2014. It also appears the transfer was performed in error, rather than intentionally.
    When a consumer’s line is transferred without their permission, this is known as ‘slamming’ which is a form of mis-selling. Regarding an erroneous transfer, this can happen as a result of a consumer having their line switched accidentally. More commonly, it can occur when a customer has requested service but instead it is supplied to a neighbouring house.
    This is primarily caused by current limitations in providers’ systems not reliably identifying the new property and therefore the wrong property is accidentally targeted for takeover. It would also mean the account would not be in the original customer’s name. Even so, an erroneous transfer is still not acceptable.

    However... My line has actually been disconnected. This is despite calling BT and telling them not to disconnect my line, and no correspondence was received from BT to notify me of this disconnection until two days after it occurred.
    On calling them to complain about this, on the day they disconnected the line, I was passed to a sales team who told me to wait two days and that they would call back. My issue would be resolved and it would take ~15 minutes.
    So, after waiting two days they called as agreed. The call was from this point forward treated entirely as a sales call, offering me the standard three month introductory reduction of a few pounds per month "as an apology", and selling me up front line rental (I presume they are targetted on this) on the grounds that it's "what I had before" (it wasn't).
    So eventually they set me up a new account and contract, with a new waiting time for reconnection of 14 days (plus the two days prior I spent disconnected). The complaint was not logged and no mention was made of the emergency reconnection service:
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    If it is the case that EE has now taken over your line, you should ask BT if they can use the emergency restoration process. This should enable your service to be restored quickly. However, if BT has chosen not to adopt this process then they will need to follow the standard order process which can take up to two weeks.

    I can only assume from this, and from other forum posts, that BT have chosen not to incorporate this into their procedure for reconnecting clients. Which begs the question, why the hell not?
    There was also no mention by the agent I spoke to of their code of practice regarding erroneous disconnections:

We’ll work out the daily-rate rental credit by:• multiplying your quarterly phone service rental by four;• dividing this by 365; and• multiplying this by the number of days we were late in installing or repairing your phone line.• If you can prove that you’ve lost money as a direct result of us not being able to provide or repair your phoneline in the time we said we would, you might be able to claim that financial loss. You can find out about thelimits on how much you can claim for each line affected at bt.com/terms. You can claim a financial loss on topof a daily-rate rental credit.• You can claim for financial loss if you’ve asked to have your calls diverted, but not for the cost of extra mobilephone calls you make within the first five days of us going over our promised times. The terms and conditionsin the contract between you and us apply. You must make your claim within four months of us putting mattersright. If you’d like a financial loss claim form, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ on page 18).
    In regard to their correspondence regarding the disconnection: I do especially like the way that they only bother to send letters and emails regarding them charging you for disconnection. Absolutely no warnings or notifications prior to disconnection (which according to ofcom's website, should also be sent by your current supplier) and my phone call to them to tell them specifically not to disconnect me was completely ignored.
    Anyway, I thought I'd post on here as responses from the online complaints submission form are slow as hell. Hopefully a mod will pick it up as they appear to be quite competent based on responses to other forum threads.
    Plus at least this way my issue will show alongside others in google search results (and oh my, does this appear to happen a lot.)

  • PDF Optimizer Causes Disappearing Lines in Maps

    I often have to optimize PDF maps created in ESRI ArcGIS to reduce the file size. This works great most of the time but some PDFs have lines that disappear every time I optimize, regardless of the settings.
    Some notes:
    - The same line will disappear even when all of the optimize options are turned off (i.e. it should be doing nothing to the document).
    - The layer that contains the line still shows up in the layer tab, but turning it on or off has no effect
    - Printing to PDF works fine, the line does NOT disappear (though the file size reduction isn't as great)
    - The line that usually disappears is ~425 miles long, though the map only covers a few miles of it
    - This happens on multiple computers, running the latest version of Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows XP.
    - This also happens on the same map regardless of which computer exports the map to PDF in the first place (even using different versions of PDF)
    - I can replicate the effect by manually deleting the tags from the document. As soon as I delete the tag, the line disappears (though the layer remains)
    This has been a very frustrating problem and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I have scoured the internet for similar problems, but could not find anything useful.

    After Optimize:

  • MacBook Pro 17'' Early 2011 Screen Strange Horizontal lines in some colors

    Hello guys,
    I've just got my new Flagrant MacBook Pro 17'' Sandy Bridge i7 2.3Ghz 8GB SSD512 with Glossy screen and is amazing.... But...
    I am incredibly disappointed with the quality of the screen (or maybe the videocard?) I come from the previous generation MacBook Pro i7 15inches and the quality of the screen was superb. Now on this new 17'' screen I see some wired horizontal (very tiny) lines in bright colors (very difficult to notice by an untrained, not to hock to perfection eye). This was actually the first thing I saw when booting my mac for the first time as the gray apple appeared not to have a perfect gray color. First thing I did was going to an Apple Retail store we have here in Barcelona (Catalonia) and strangely the MacBook that was in there had a very similar issue. Is not something you can easily notice, but if you look close to the screen you can see this lines. I am not really an expert, so I don't know if this could be a problem of the videocard (does ATI cards have less image quality than nVIdia?) or is a reduction of quality of the 17'' screen compared to the 15''?
    I am very annoyed by this, and I am considering to return my laptop as I'm really not getting used to it. Does anybody know if this affects all new MacBook Pro's 17''?
    I'll try to get a camera with a macro to upload a picture and give you an example.
    Thank you guys.

    This guys is having EXACTLY the same problem that I detected:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10624006#10624006
    And his explanation is quite clear 
    (copied from this post)
    Description: Every other horizontal pixel row appears brighter than the alternate, creating a scan-line style effect that also contributes to the washing out of the display. In seemingly random "luck of the draw" machines, lines can either be highly visible or not be present at all.
    In displays where it is faint, you may not notice, but once you become aware of it is a real problem if you work closely with your computer, and graphics.
    This appears to be the same issue that has been widely reported in the past with Macbook Air computers.
    The three computers that I have had this issue with:
    1 - Glossy, 9C99, lines visible even from three feet away.
    2 - Glossy, 9C99, lines about half the visibility
    3 - Matte, 9CAC, lines again about half the visibility of #1
    I have also had 3 glossies and 1 matte that have not had these lines at all. 3 Unibody 15" MBPs have also not had any such lines. I have also been unable to detect these lines on any non-Apple computers I have observed, nor any of Apple's other models or displays.
    I put a 17" Matte without the lines next to one with the lines and attempting to take photos, but could not get them to turn out at all for a variety of annoying reasons (unclear image, moire effects, etc). I was however able to take extremely close macro shots and there is a difference visible in the pixel arrangements, apparently.
    Who else has this one their display?
    Thanks

  • Change of line item amount in miro

    hi,
    i have a doubt on the change of line item amount field value at PO reference tab in MIRO.
    1) when vendor invoice price higher than PO, although knowing that the price is incorrectly quoted by vendor, we need to change the amount in PO reference tab line item according to invoice?
    2) the difference in point 1 will hit stock account (map) or price difference.
    3) when vendor later on give CN, we need to do subsequent credit.
    4) in subsequent credit, need to create with reference to PO.
    5) we need to change the amount at PO reference item line according to CN?
    thanks

    Hi,
    1) when vendor invoice price higher than PO, although knowing that the price is incorrectly quoted by vendor, we need to change the amount in PO reference tab line item according to invoice? --- Yes you have to change it to Vemdor invoice amount
    2) the difference in point 1 will hit stock account (map) or price difference. --- Yes
    3) when vendor later on give CN, we need to do subsequent credit. -
    Yes with ref to PO
    4) in subsequent credit, need to create with reference to PO. -
    Yes
    5) we need to change the amount at PO reference item line according to CN? -- yes.
    Other Option
    You can use invoice reduction - System will create Inoice and credit memo in the same document.
    SPRO Steeting require :
    1. G/L account should be assigned to RKA trnsaction ket in OBYC.
    2. Document type KG  should be defined in Transaction code MIRO in customizing for doucment type invoice verification / Valuation in SPRO.
    3. Number range should be defined for Doc type KG.
