Monitoring HD from a MacBookPro

I have a project shot in DVCPRO HD 720p on the HVX-200. I will be editing this on a MBP. Although the end product will be an SD DVD (at this time, maybe HD DVD later) I think that it would be best to monitor this in HD since we intend to edit in HD until we output the final to DVD. However, we are on a budget and cannot afford the best or optimal solution. So the question is:
1) If I were to use the Matrox MXO as suggested in an earlier post by DavidS what would be the most affordable monitor in that situation? Should I buy a decent HD TV, a 23" Cinema display,or must I go for a Sony or Panasonic HD monitor?
2) Does anyone know anything about the Sony LMD-172WS? It appears that you can add a firewire card to this monitor. Would this work to display DVCPRO HD over firewire from FCP?
Thanks for the help, I'm diving into new territory here, someone hold the net please!

If you are on a budget, just monitor via Digital Cinema Desktop on a decent computer monitor.
When you need to color correct, only then do you need a high quality monitor. Perhaps you can rent one or have that portion done by a pro in a post house.

No, you'd need to feed it with a DVCPro deck or a Video card which you cannot since you are on a laptop.

  • I am trying to copy more or less 30G from my MacbookPro to an external hard drive and it is stuck in the "preparing to copy" step. But that for more than one hour. What should I do to make it faster? Thanks a lot in advance!

    I am trying to copy more or less 30G from my MacbookPro to an external hard drive and it is stuck in the "preparing to copy" step. But that for more than one hour. What should I do to make it faster? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Thanks Shootist007, by blockd files I mean files that I have changed to blocked and when I tried to move then for the first time, I had to unblock again. I am trying to backup my pictures, my songs and other files like word documents and excel tables. First I put all of them as blocked, what caused the first problems on trying to move them. Then, I've unchecked the block option and if I try to move one by one, there is no problem. The issue is to move all together, because it gets stuck in the preparing to copy files step. Anyway, if I cannot do all by once, I'll do it one by one, event though that was not suposed to happen if we are talking about technology, right? Anyway, I thank you again for trying to help me!

  • Over saturated images when monitor resumes from sleep

    Lately I started to get this weird beheviour from LR 2.7. each time my monitor resumes from sleep all image colors become extremely over saturated. All other apps and computer desktop are just the same so it's only LR.
    I use a wide gamut LCD (HP LP2475w) which is calibrated using iOne Display 2.
    If I restart LR the problem goes away. This only started a few days ago just after I started uploading new photos taken by a new lens (Sigma 30mm).
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    I can sympathise with how annoying this must be - and although I haven't looked into it myself, I do recall several other posts over the last 18months or so, with the same issue.
    I can't dig out the exact posts now, but maybe the following might lead somewhere?

  • Monitoring sound from HP Dreamcolor Z24x

    Hi,
         I have recently purchased an HP Dreamcolor Z24x and would like to monitor sound from my Avid editing system while playing picture over the Dreamcolor.  
        Previously, I would play audio on my computer and monitor it via external speakers attached to an Avid Fast Track Duo sound card.  However, with the HP Dreamcolor attached to my computer (via a Blackmagic Mini Monitor) I am no longer to hear any audio from the computer.
         I am assuming that I need to monitor the audio after it has been fed from the blackmagic card into the HP Dreamcolor, but am unsure of how to do this.  Is anyone able to help me figure out how to monitor my sound?  Many thanks.

    Hello John,
    For not having sound sometimes from the speakers, until you disable the audio enhancement. I would first like to confirm if you have tried this update for your audio drivers 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
    I have also included the document 'No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)'. I would suggest following through all the steps in this document. Does the Troubleshooting Tool find any issues, or does everything pass?
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Cisco video camera monitoring software from remote location

    Hello
    What is the best way to use the  Cisco video camera monitoring software from remote location.
    I am talking about the AVMS / SWVMS software.
    I am thinking of either a vpn tunnel or Remote Desktop (Terminal Services).
    I would like to use the vpn tunnel, but am afraid that the encryption/decryption of all data will drastically slow down the data throughput.
    THanks,
    Cliff
    CCO: clifford.gormley

    Hi Clifford,
    Thank you for posting. I use the AVMS software remotely and it works good. At first I changed the http ports of each camera and forwarded those ports in the router. I set up the cameras in the remote AVMS software with the WAN IP address and port number. That worked quite well. I then decided to try to reach the cameras through a VPN tunnel. I found that it worked perfectly and I was able to view up to 6 cameras. Your results will vary depending on how much bandwidth you have at each end. The important thing is the upload speed at the camera end of the tunnel. I have anywhere from 3-4 Mbps at any given time for the upload speed at the camera side and 30-40 Mbps download speed at the AVMS server side. I have also used UltraVNC to view the AVMS server through the tunnel and that worked well. Note that if you view the AVMS software using RDP you will see a black screen where the video should be. This is a limitation of RDP, not the software.
    Please reply if you have any questions.

  • How to create monitor entries from an update routine?

    Hi,
    Does anyone try to create monitor entries in ABAP routine in update rules?
    I have How-to guide "How to... Create monitor entries from an update routine". I applied code from it.
    RETURNCODE = 1.
    MONITOR-MSGID = 'RSM'.
    MONITOR-MSGTY = 'W'. *** I also tried MONITOR-MSGTY = 'E'
    MONITOR-MSGNO = '799'.
    MONITOR-MSGV1 = 'My message '.
    MONITOR-MSGV2 = COMM_STRUCTURE-<MY_FIELD>.
    append MONITOR.
    EXIT.
    But it doesn't work. I don't see new lines on Details tab in AWB Monitor.
    What's wrong?
    BW 3.0B

    Hi, hope you had a good weekend.
    I tried with MSGTY = 'I' and I didn't get any errors or warnings at load.
    In the monitor, on the detail tab, I find hidden under:
    Processing (data packet)
    -> Data Package x
       -> Transfer rules
          -> Data records for package x
             -> Record 0:
             -> Record 0:
             -> Record 0:
    When I select "Display Message(s)" from the dropdown-menu on one of these "Record 0:" lines, I get to see
    my message text: S:RSM:000 test1 test2
    1) how can I change the text that appears in the monitor tree ("Record 0:") ?
    2) The status of these nodes is always a green led (also with MSGTY = 'W')... shouldn't it be a yellow triangle?
    Like this it is hell to find your warnings/information messages.
    3) I cannot find my monitor messages with transaction SLG1... should I be able to find them there?
    Kind regards,
    Edwin

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • Can I trash messed up photos in iPhone5s and re-install them from my MacBookPro?

    I have a new iPhone5s and somehow my 4000+ photos in my MacBookPro ended up all messed up in my iPhone. Beside a ton of duplications, not all my photos transferred. I'd like to simply delete my photos in iPhone and then re-install all of them corredtly in my iPhone from my MacBookPro. (My iPad too for that matter). Is this possible? I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions so as not to further screw up. Thanks.

    Here's a link to Apple's site for Users Guides. You can download the users guide for iPhone and iOS 7 there.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone
    iCloud does not come into play for syncing photos to your phone. You use iTunes to do that.
    Foret spend some time organizing your photos on your MacBook Pro. I use iPhoto on my Mac to organize the photos I might want on my iPad and iPhone. Create albums in iPhoto and sort the pictures into albums.
    Then start iTunes 11.1 or later on your MacBook Pro. Connect your iPhone. It should soon be recognized in iTunes. Select your iPhone in iTunes. A row of tabs will appear. They include General or Summary, Musoc, apps, photos among others. In each tab you can choose to sync certain items. In the Photos tab you have the choice to select to sync all photos from iPhoto or to select only certain albums to sync. Select those albums you want on the iPhone. You can do the same thing under some of the other tabs as well as share documents to/from your iPhone. I think the users guide will explain this further.
    Once you have the photo albums selected click on Apply. The selected albums will remain in iPhoto on your MacBook Pro but they will also be copied to the Photos app on your iPhone.
    If some time down the road you want to add more albums to your phone repeat this process. Those albums that were synced the foret time must remain selected in order for them to remain on your phone. If when syncing in the future you deselect an album it will be deleted from your phone so keep that in mind.

    To set it up as POP you need to delete the account, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds), then add it back following these instructions: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account
    I understand that you have used the same account for many years, but the technology is also changing constantly. Years ago the standard was POP (Post Office Protocol), which was designed at a time when it was inconceivable that anyone would access their email from more than one device. When people started using multiple devices, for the most part they wanted to see changes on one device mirrored on another. A new standard, IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) was developed. With iMAP the master copy of all messages resides on a server, and multiple devices are kept in sync with the server. So if you delete a message from one device it is removed from the server, and then removed from all other devices when they next sync. This is the same way Microsoft Exchange works. Other benefits of IMAP include the ability to have multiple mail folders that are kept in sync across devices. In your case you could use this to create a separate folder for each family member, so they could move messages to their own folder and not clutter up the shared Inbox. Most computer mail readers can even automatically sort incoming mail into folders based on the contents of the message.
    IMAP is considered a "higher level" standard than POP. When you create a mail account iOS devices query the server and ask what it supports; if it says it supports IMAP then the account is automatically configured for IMAP. So if you really want POP you must fool it, as described in the link above. In my experience Android devices default to the highest level protocol also, and I suspect newer Blackberries do (although it has been 15 years since I used a BB).

  • When I send a text using iMessage from my mini iPad, it selects a photo that I deleted from my MacBookPro (in Users

    When sending iMessages using iPad mini an old photo that I've deleted from my MacBookPro in 'System Preferences/User&Groups' pops up with each iMessage I send. Genius Bar said iMessage was pulling this from iCloud and they recommended I change the photo inmy iCloud account, which I did. This did not help. Where could iMessage be gathering an old photo that's been deleted? Has anyone experienced this? and if so, is there a solution/fix?

    I don't follow where this picture is appearing.  You have to go to some trouble to add a picture to an iMessage.  Might it be popping up from a contact name you are using that happens to have a picture associated with it in your contacts list?
