Looking to connect an external video monitor with BNC cable

I have purchased a DVI to Video adapter..and it is not being recognized by the MacPro or by FCP...what should I do to rectify this?

This one? http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng
From the info on that page: The Apple DVI to Video Adapter is designed to work with the DVI port on the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT) MacBook Pro, Mac mini and Power Mac G5 systems only.
This: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/decklink/ would hve been a more appropriate choice if your monitor has a BNC connector.

External Video Monitor with iMac possible.

Dear friends,
recently i have bought one imac 21.5" mid 2010 model. i am a film maker. i make TVC s, corporate docu, docu and short films. previously i worked hiring differnt post production studios but with growing volume of work i there was need for a personal edit setup. i have FC Studio 7 installed in my imav. i wanted to connect one external video monitor to facilitate the edit work flow. 1st i bought and connected a mini dp to vga adaptor and connected my 6 series samsung lcd tv with it. but the result was not satisfactory. now the lcd tv have become the second monitor and the system was working as dual monitor system. i wanted 1 video monitor as we get in pro studios. then i bought 1 mini dp to HDMI adapotor and connected it with the lcd tv throgh HDMI cable. fantastic. system took it automatically. Now i opened FCP, set a/v display to full screen, audio out to HDMI then view>external video>full frame. and u are through. now yuo can see the time line output in the LCD tv with sync audio. cheers. any better way to calibrate the second monitor?

Thanks a lot for your help.
If i consider an old model, maybe one with a DisplayPort input (late 2009 or mid 2010 iMac), is there a chance to connect the card with the DP input with a simple cable, or to verify the compatibility? The card has a DP output but many articles say that screen flickering or blue screen is the result...
Regards,
Andrea

Setting Up an External Video Monitor

Hello All,
Fairly well versed amateur here, but still with large gaps of knowledge, as you will see. I have been working on projects that were exclusively intended to be presented on the web, but I had someone ask me to produce a commercial that will be aired on local tv. So in making my best effort towards this I want to be able to use an external video monitor to insure that the commercial looks good on tv (color correction, etc). I use Final Cut to edit on my iMac. Everything I have read says to connect my computer via Firewire to a camera or deck, then connect the camera/deck to the monitor, however my iMac has only one Firewire port and I am using that for my scratch disk. So...anyone have a suggestion to overcome this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Marc

Firewire out to a TV only works if you are editing DV.
Having said that, firewire devices do daisy chain.
This is how to set it up on the assumption that your hard drive has two firewire ports -
• Connect your camera or dedicated DV to Analog converter via firewire to the hard drive
• Connect a TV to your DV>Analog converter
• Set up the camera or DV>Analog converter to take the DV input and output an analog signal. (read your camera manual if you've never done this before)
• Set up FCE to play the video out via firewire
Several caveats -
Unless your TV is a calibrated broadcast quality monitor, you will be guessing at colors.
You need to look at the scopes to make sure your whites and vibrant colors are within spec (ask the station for their spec sheet)
If this is public access, they have a pretty wide lattitude. If this a standard broadcast channel, the spot may get kicked back to you if it doesn't meet their more tightly controlled limits. If that's the case, you may need to find someone nearby who has an understanding of what constitutes a broadcast standard to help you.
Good luck.

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

When connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

when connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

The issue here is that HDMI cables, as the name indicates, carry audio signals to the monitor. Therefore if the monitor has no built in speakers then there will be no sound. If you have external speakers you can plug them into the audio out slot on the back of the monitor and the problem will be solved.
However, if the screen does have built in speakers you need to go Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Manage Audio Devices and set either your headphone jack or the screen to be the default device. And then you ca pick which device the sound will play from. Either yourlaptop speakers or whateer speakers are plugged into the laptop or the Monitor and whatever speakers are plugged into the monitor

Frozen when view on external video monitor HELP

Hi everyone, I have just finished my biggest project in 3 months. Thankx for all your helps & I love the MULTICAM feature very much.
Now i'm on the second project. This project was shot on DigiBeta PAL.
To make it short: does anyone has a frozen picture as they play it out to the external video monitor for the uncompress 10bit file?
3months ago when I digitized in as uncompress 10bit , fcp play out to external monitor FINE, including the multicam feature.
However, since I need to work with 10cam at the same time, I have to capture in as DV (my source was DVCAM) so fcp can play all 10cam in multiclip mode. everything went perfect.
TOday, I capture my sources both NTSC & PAL, they can only play in the mac monitor but not the external video monitor. feeding out to external monitor make the clips freeze. the picture is frozen but the audio still playing.
My drives are fast enough since we had been working with these MEDEA drives for years.
thank you so much.

thankx for all your helps but I had tried all those before I post the question. I'm no newbie. It must be FCP's bug. I trashed the pref & select 8bit instead of 10bit for viewing, & it play ok for single clip. On multiclip, it shutter alittle bit. Maybe I need to reinstall fcp. Don't know yet.
thankx

External LCD monitors with DVI PowerBook: Banding Issues

I have a DVI PB and would like to attach an external LCD monitor. I've looked at both Samsung 20 inch and ViewSonic 19 inch versions but whenever I attach them, I get "banding" around the edges of the external monitor. Tonight, I went to CompUSA to look at the Samsung 204B 20 inch. Taking my PB with me, I hooked up and set the resolution to 1600 x 1200 and the Samsung had huge, fat black banding all around the monitor. If you don't know - banding looks like a large, black border going around the screen. The sales guy pushed some auto-set buttons (which is said always work to remove the banding) but it didn't fix the issue. Any suggestions? Is there some secret that I'm not aware of on how to attach and use an external LCD monitor with the PB? One note: I did set the resolution down to 1280 x 1024, which worked fine to remove the banding but it monitor looked horrible. Not the best resolution for a large monitor.
Thanks,
B. Rose

Hi, Bill. I can't speak to whatever happened with the Viewsonic monitor, since you didn't tell us about that, but it sounds as though the Samsung was in display mirroring mode rather than extended-desktop mode. The F7 key on your Powerbook's keyboard toggles an external monitor between the two modes. In mirror mode, the external monitor displays exactly the same thing as the built-in display. In extended-desktop mode, it functions as a separate portion of your desktop, and you can drag things (windows, icons) from one monitor onto the other. If you're going to use both displays, extended-desktop mode is probably what you'll want: why keep two copies of the same thing in front of you?
In mirrored mode, the fact that your Powerbook's display has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 854 means that only 1280 x 854 pixels of the external monitor can be used — leaving wide black borders of untapped pixels around the copy of your PB's display that's centered on the external monitor. In extended-desktop mode, the external display's native resolution of 1600 x 1200 can all be used, provided that your 32MB of VRAM is sufficient to drive the total of (1280 x 854) + (1600 x 1200) = 3,013,120 pixels, at the bit depth you've selected. (You might have to use the extended-desktop mode in Thousands of colors, rather than Millions.)
Another issue that comes into play with display mirroring is that the 4:3 aspect ratio of the 1600 x 1200 Samsung is different from the 3:2 aspect ratio of the Powerbook's display. If you set the Samsung's resolution to 1280 x 1024 to match the pixel width of the PB display, the top and bottom of the Samsung will be black bands, because the PB isn't manufacturing any pixels to fill those bands. And it will be blurry, because the Samsung has to interpolate to make 1600 pixels look (sort of) like 1280 pixels. Unlike a CRT display, the actual number of pixels in an LCD is fixed. When you change resolution settings on an LCD from its native (maximum) resolution to anything less, the image is always blurred. Only the native resolution can be really sharp.

Enable External Video Monitoring

I'm trying to output from the time line via fire wire to an external DVD recorder.
According to the info I have, I'm supposed to "enable external video monitoring."
How do I do that? Where is it in the FCE menu?

Are you sure you DVD recorder will accept input from an editing program. Most of the firewire enabled consumer ones I know of will only work with material dubbed directly from a DV tape camera.

How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
I'll appreciate

Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

I have the latest Apple TV, ipads, iPhones as well as a solid HP Windows machine all on my home network. Is there a way that I can connect my hard drive to my receiver or Apple TV directly so that the digital media is available on my network 24/7 rather than have it connected to my computer and available through Home Share which never works anyway??

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

External video monitor not supported?

I started to use color APP just recent and soon found out that Color does not support live preview to my external video monitor via Firewire, I have 2 devices to choose, DSR11 or a DAC 10 ( DV Converter ), firewire to Component.
I hope that Apple resolve this issue fairly quick, many color users like me that don't have an IO card like AJ Kona or Decklink, color will be useless without an external video monitor for color correction.
Any input will be appreciated.
Sigi

Because of the reduced colorspace required for DV, I'd wager it's unlikely that Color will ever be made to go out via FireWire to a DV deck or DAC.
Decklink Intensity - $249 or $399? is a potential alternative...
