Multi Screen with Nuendo/Cubase

Hi all! Sort of ripping my hair out here, if anyone could offer some info that'd be much appreciated. I believe this is an OSX problem rather than Nuendo problem but I'm not 100% sure. So I work in a Post Production Audio studio and we are using a late 2012 iMac, set up with Thunderbolt as follows:
Thunderbolt > HDMI > Gefen Toolbox > HDMI > Projector (display 3)
                                                             > HDMI through wall > Samsung LED TV (display 3)
Thunderbolt > Akitio ThunderDock (2x USB3, 2x SATA) > Lacie HardDrive bay (2x 3TB HDD) > Seagate HD > DVI > BenQ Monitor (display 2)
So there are 3 displays in total, internal iMac, Gefen Toolbox splitting to projector and studio TV, and BenQ monitor.
The problem I'm having is that the split signal through the Gefen is the display which the Nuendo video window sits on. Now up until recently I could double-click this and it would go to fullscreen, (It's not true fullscreen since I could still see the OSX toolbar at the top of the screen, which is fine) but now when I enter fullscreen the window moves down to the iMac main display, it will not full screen on display 3. Also if I click away (Nuendo no longer active window) then when I come back to Nuendo then the video window moves down to the main monitor. All my windows on monitor 2 (mix window and marker window) don't move to the main monitor. Also the video fullscreen DOES work on display 2. So display 2 working fine, but display 3 (split) is not. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

    My IPad has one half of the screen with vertical multi colored stripes and the other half is normal.  Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a solution?

    You could have a hardware issue, but try this and see if it helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Problem with setLocation in a multi screen environment

    hello,
    I'm using a multiple screen environment (matrox graphicccard, 3 screens).
    I've a application moving some JDialogs to screen-locations saved somewhen before. So far so good.
    getLocation () for my left screen delivers me a negative value:
    e.g. getLocation().x = -150
    getLocation().y = 50
    setLocation (-150, 50) works as expected.
    Ok, but if I use the same application on another workstation using another matrox driver, the dialog disappears.
    On my computer the 3 screens are handled as separate screens (the one in the middle as the mainscreen) => 3x1024x768
    JDialogs on the left screen are given negative x-location values, JDialogs on the right screen have x-location values greater than 1024.
    On the other computer the 3 screens are handled as one big desktop => 1x3072x1024 (as said: other matrox device).
    My problem is now: if I transfer my locations stored in an external config-file somewhere else I can't restore the location on the other computer, seems clearly there is no negative screen with this graphiccard.
    I tried following code
         public void setLocation (int x, int y)  {
              GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
              Dimension screenSize;
              try  {
                   Rectangle screenS = new Rectangle ();
                   GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices ();
                   for (int j = 0; j < gs.length; j++) {
                        GraphicsDevice gd = gs[j];
                        GraphicsConfiguration[] gc = gd.getConfigurations();
                        for (int i=0; i < gc.length; i++) {
                             screenS = screenS.union(gc.getBounds());
                   screenSize = screenS.getSize ();
              } catch (HeadlessException e) {
                   screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
              if (x > screenSize.width) {
                   x = screenSize.width-getSize().width;
              if (y > screenSize.height) {
                   y = screenSize.height-getSize().height;
              super.setLocation (x, y);
    but it doesn't help. By the way: I can't (!) check in this function for negative x-values because computer 1 allows negative x-values, computer 2 NOT.
    I need something to get out if a x,y-location is situated in a viewable screencontent AND this should work on every computer.....
    any help would be great
    Thanks a lot

    Has anyone solved this problem yet? I've tried several variants in the call to Frame's getMaximizeBounds() and cannot reliably get it to work. For one particular monitor setup (1280x1024, 1024x1280, and 1024x1280), I can find the magic numbers to make it maximize across both 1024x1280 monitors.
    For my scenario, the left monitor is 1280x1224 and is primary, the other two are used to run the Java application. When maximized, it should take over the complete 2048x1280 space of both portrait monitors (middle and right monitors). When not maximized (in NORMAL mode), it the window takes over the space of the middle 1024x1280 monitor.
    To make it work, I use the following call:
    // x = 0, y = 1, width = 2304, and height = 1280
    m_windowFrame.setMaximizedBounds(new Rectangle(0,1,2304, 1280));
    - if "y" is 0, which I would expect should be ok, the maximize defaults to having as if I pass in null (it maximized to only one monitor).
    - if "width" is the correct amount (2048), it doesn't use all the space of both portrait monitors. For some reason, if I use with width of the primary and the width of one portrait, it works.
    This doesn't make a bit of sense why these number works. If someone can shed light on how this call works, I would very much appreciate it.
    Thank you

  • Key Press to Play Video, in multi-screen project

    I have a timeline with multiple videos in it, all loaded as external videos with playback controls as the audio is important (all are 55 seconds long and high quality audio is vital). First of all I want a specific key pressed to play one of the videos. I've been playing around with event handlers, key press event, but nothing has worked.
    This is a multi screen project I'm working on so is there any way to have two seperate windows of video 1080x1920 (that would play on two seperate screens to interact with eachother) or would I have to create a stage twice the width. I need two video clips to play simultaniously once a key is pressed.
    I am a real beginner to flash so I really have no idea whether this is possible.
    I'm doing this on Flash CS6 on a Mac in IOS 10.9.2
    Thanks!

    i'm not sure what you're trying to do with multiple screens but that should have no impact on using key listeners to control your timeline:
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,f):
    function f(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
    trace(e.keyCode);

  • Start up screen with multiple Apples then "You must restart" message

    MDD 1Ghz 10.5.8
    Things started running slowly. Got a grayish screen with a black box saying that I need to restart (in a few different languages!). Restarted to a screen with the apple kind of split into pieces in 3 different locations on the screen, with 3 different spinners under each apple. After a while, the screen of grayness returns, saying I need to restart. Rinse and repeat. Same old same old.
    Disk utility tells me the start up drive is unrepairable. Luckily, Disk Warrior builds a new directory, I save the info on the drive.
    New HD installed. Installed new 10.5 from DVD. OK for a couple days. Freezes, restart - now it will only start up to a multi colored, almost lava lamp looking screen with a distorted image of the box you get when you restart and it asks if you want to report or ignore (buttons are inactive).
    Haven't seen this one in the past posts, so I thought I'd put it out there for suggestions. Thanks.

    the apple kind of split into pieces in 3 different locations on the screen, with 3 different spinners under each apple.
    You lost horizontal sync or changed resolution. The screen was not locked in place so it re-drew that stuff so that it wrapped around and showed up in three different places. Not much to learn there.
    Disk utility tells me the start up drive is unrepairable. Luckily, Disk Warrior builds a new directory, I save the info on the drive.
    That's good for the fixing the Directory, but does not rule on whether the data in files is any good or not.
    New HD installed. Installed new 10.5 from DVD. OK for a couple days.
    I guess the data on the Hard Drive was NOT OK.
    Freezes, restart - now it will only start up to a multi colored, almost lava lamp looking screen
    That Setup Assistant screen should only appear when a file on the Hard drive called .AppleSetupDone has been deleted or is otherwise not accessible.
    with a distorted image of the box you get when you restart and it asks if you want to report or ignore (buttons are inactive).
    Crashing again so soon after a new Drive and System re-install is not good news. Difficult problems like this are often memory-related.
    Do you have Apple Hardware Test?
    Do you have any other memory test?
    Have you re-seated the memories? This can remove corrosion.

  • Stuck on grey screen with apple logo after failed iTunes update

    I tried to install an update for iTunes 9.2 on my MacBook. During installation a box appeared telling me the update had failed. I clicked the 'Restart' button. Now it won't go past the grey screen with the apple logo and the rotating wheel; it just loads indefinitely. I have a very important document saved on the Mac which I've added to without backing it up. I'm worried that I will lose (or have already lost) a great deal of writing. Is there a way to get my computer running again without damaging my files? Because this computer was a gift, I don't have the software installation CDs that came with it (or Disk Utility). I'm also not very familiar with computers in general, so if you explain your solutions in a really basic way, I'd appreciate it. Any kind of advice would be extremely welcomed...

    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

    Symptoms
    If your computer won't start up normally, you may need to use a disk repair utility to fix the issue. Mac OS X includes two utilities for this—Disk Utility and fsck (a command-line utility). You can also use these even when your computer starts just fine but you want to check the disk for possible file system issues. For Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later, check out "About live verification in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later," below.
    Important: If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you should use Disk Utility instead of fsck, whenever possible.
    In some situations, file system errors may prevent your computer from starting up. This can occur after an improper shutdown, forced restart, or power interruption. If your computer shows any of the following symptoms on startup, use a disk repair utility:
    * Your computer partially starts but then displays a command line in a text-only environment. You may see the message, "file system dirty, run fsck." Below it, you'll see what's called a command-line prompt, indicated by a number sign (#), that allows you to type a command. If you see this, you'll need to run fsck from the command line (see "Use fsck if necessary," below).
    * Your computer starts but either it won't reach the login screen, or it may reach the login screen but not load the Desktop after you log in. However, you can start up in single-user mode.
    If your computer exhibits either of the above issues, here are some things to try to get your computer back to starting up properly again. If you can't find the system discs that came with your computer, see "Use fsck," below.
    Products Affected
    Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.1
    Resolution
    Try a Safe Boot
    If you're using Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you can start up your computer in Safe Mode, which includes an automatic disk check and repair. If you're using Mac OS X 10.1.5 or earlier, skip to the next section. A Safe Boot, which starts up your computer into Safe Mode, may allow you to start up your computer successfully using a reduced version of the system software. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Start up in Safe Mode.
    2. After the system has fully started up, restart your computer again normally.
    If the computer successfully restarts, you do not need to do any more troubleshooting. If the issue persists, try Disk Utility.
    Try Disk Utility
    1. Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Tip: Always start up your computer from an Install or Restore disc when using Disk Utility to verify or repair your startup volume. Otherwise, you might see some disk error messages.
    Use fsck if necessary
    fsck is a command-line utility that may be able to verify and repair a disk. If you can successfully start up in Safe Mode or use Disk Utility while started up from a disc, you don't need to use fsck. Here are some situations in which fsck may be necessary.
    * Your Mac OS X disc isn't available.
    * Your optical drive isn't available.
    * You can't start with a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key during start up.
    Tip: If you use a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) formatted volume, such as with Mac OS X 10.3 or later, you probably won't need to use fsck. If you do use it for any reason, please be aware that benign error messages can appear.
    If you're not sure how your volume is formatted and you can't start up from your Mac OS X volume to find out, type the following command in a command-line interface and then press Return: diskutil info /
    If you see "File System: Journaled HFS+" returned, you have a Journaled volume.
    To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse pointer to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
    1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
    Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    2. At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK
    If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
    Additional Information
    About live verification in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later
    In Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later, you can verify your Mac OS X volume while started from it. This is known as live verification, and can be used in three different ways.
    Option 1: Verify your disk using Disk Utility while started from the startup disk. To find out how to do this, see this article. Please note that live verification does not involve any disk repair, so if verification finds something that should be repaired, start up from your Mac OS X Install disc and use Disk Utility as described above in "Try Disk Utility."
    Option 2 (advanced): Use the command line and the command-line utility, diskutil.
    1. Start up your computer and log in as an administrator.
    2. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
    3. At the prompt, type the following command and then press Return:
    diskutil verify /
    Note: Don't use this method to check non-startup volumes.
    You should see messages such as the following during the disk check:
    Could not unmount disk for verification, attempting live verify
    Started verify/repair on volume disk0s3 Macintosh HD
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
    Mounting Disk
    Verify/repair finished on volume disk0s3 Macintosh HD
    Option 3 (advanced): Use the command line and the fsck_hfs -l command.
    1. Start up your computer and log in as an administrator.
    2. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
    3. At the prompt, type the following command and then press Return to determine your filesytem ID:
    df -hl
    4. Look for some lines of text that look like this:
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
    /dev/disk0s3 37G 20G 17G 55% /
    /dev/disk0s5 37G 37G 641M 98% /Volumes/Storage
    5. Make a note of the first "disk" name that appears after /dev/, such as "disk0s3." This is your filesystem ID for your startup volume.
    6. At the prompt, type the following command and then press Return:
    df -hl
    7. Then type the following command, where "disk0s3" is your filesystem ID you noted in step 4, then press Return:
    sudo fsck_hfs -l /dev/disk0s3
    8. When prompted, enter your admin password, then press Return to begin the verification.
    9. You should see messages like these during the disk check:
    ** /dev/rdisk0s3 (NO WRITE)
    ** Root file system
    ** Checking HFS Plus volume.
    ** Checking Extents Overflow file.
    ** Checking Catalog file.
    ** Checking multi-linked files.
    ** Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    ** Checking Extended Attributes file.
    ** Checking volume bitmap.
    ** Checking volume information.
    ** The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
    Advanced information
    If you're interested in UNIX-style command-line syntax, here's a look at how a couple of flags used above can influence fsck:
    * The -y flag: Tells fsck that you want to answer "yes" to all questions about fixing, repairing, or salvaging information. This is the optimal approach, as answering "no" to any question causes fsck to stop. You cannot determine that all necessary repairs have been made until fsck completes and gives its final report.
    * The -f flag: Forces fsck to check "clean" filesystems when preening.
    See also
    * Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck
    * Disk Utility reports "Underlying task reported failure" when repairing a volume

  • How to Multi-Screen android tablet application on Adobe AIR and Flash Professional

    hello,
    I have done app in ipad with Adobe AIR thats work fine in ipad,
    but now i have to create android tablet app for multiscreen resolution like this,
    2560*1600, 1366*768, 1280*800, 1280*768, 1024*768, 1024*600, 960*640, 960*540, 854*480, 800*600, 800*480, 800*400
    and my current .fla file resolution is 1024*768 so how can i create android tablet app with multi-screen?
    thanks

    If your app is mainly code layout interface, then you'll have to just change your code to work with arbitrary widths and heights, instead of a fixed width and height. If instead your app is basically one graphical scene, like say Angry Birds, or a highly graphical scene, you could take the approach I use.
    Read my reply to this message:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4735070?tstart=0
    In that message I describe things in Portrait, because I was answering a question about portrait, but it all works out too if you substitute landscape numbers.

  • OEM is not multi-screen friendly using Windows 2000 / Matrox

    Using Matrox Dual-Head support for multi-screen (extended desktop) on Windows 2000, Oracle Enterprise Manager does not show menu dropdowns if the OEM window is moved of the primary desktop screen.

    I've been seeing a similar problems for some time now
    with my multi-monitor setup under windows2000 - and Jdeveloper
    - maybe this fix will be good for OEM too?
    (my secondary monitor is on the right hand side)
    There is a known JDK bug with menus in this environment
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4647105.html
    "JMenu layout incorrect on dual Monitor systems on secondary monitor"
    Which is fixed in JDK 1.3.1_04
    So, to exploit this in Jdeveloper, you can
    change the used JDK version. I downloaded the JDK from sun
    and installed it in the default location of c:\jdk1.3.1_04
    Then I modified this line in jdev.conf
    SetJavaHome c:\jdk1.3.1_04
    And releaunched jdeveloper: (ignore the warning box
    about OJVM being absent). To verify that the JDK switch
    worked, use help-about to see the JDK version
    This fixed the problem for me with Jdeveloper 9.0.2
    and my development build of 9.0.3.
    I think that Jdeveloper 9.0.3 will ship with
    this version of the JDK.

  • Videocodec in Multi-screen Adobe Air development (iOS/Web/Desktop/Andriod, ...)

    Hello,
    I'm looking for info on using video files coming from an edit suit and used in Flash 5 development. We would like to create a multi-screen kind of media jukebox with a index table on the left and the video file on the right.
    The index table would be driven by a XML file, the video files would be flv or H264.   For Web and desktop we could use flv, for iOS we could use H264.  It is almost impossible to add both formats in the same app because that would increase the size of the app to much.
    Is there a multi-screen video format for these setups? Is there a document or showcase on this?
    Greetz,
    Wim

    Have you considered streaming the video instead of rolling it all into the same package?

    I've written the following code which should get the bounds of the first monitor in a n-view (multi-screen) set up so I can size JFrame objects relative to the dimensions of this first monitor. However, this bit of code seems to slow done my constructor by a significant amount of time (ie my program now takes 5 seconds to load as opposed to loading almost instaneously). Is there anything I can do to get this information more quickly? And why does this code take so long to execute?
    GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    GraphicsDevice[] gs =  ge.getScreenDevices();
    GraphicsDevice gd = gs[0];
    GraphicsConfiguration[] gc = gd.getConfigurations();
    Rectangle virtualBounds = new Rectangle(gc[0].getBounds());      Thanks in advance,
    -jake

    I was curious (having never delt with this stuff before about your problem so I put your code into a simple frame and ran it. Sure enough it took on average 2.7s to determine the bounds information and less than a tenth of a secondto setup the GUI. So I added code to print out the timmings of each call in your code and found that almost all of it was in "gd.getConfigurations()". This method says it returns all of the GraphicsConfiguration objects for the device. That could be a lot of objects (on my system it returns 8).
    When I switched to calling getDefaultConfiguration I get the same answer and it comes back in 0 milliseconds making the GUI setup the slowest part:-)
    I am not sure if getDefaultConfiguration is what you want. It is unclear to me that the first element in the configurations array represents the current mode of the device and it is unclear if the detault is the current mode either. I guess you can experiment and see if the default is the configuration you want or not.
    good luck,
    IL
    I attached my code so you can see what I did:/*

  • How much will apple charge for fixing the multi screen?

    My ipod touch's multi screen doesn't work anymore. it won't respond when i touch the screen. all i can do is turn it off and turn it on and play music only with the remote headphones.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

    A third-party place may be less expensive. Here is one.

  • Multi screen project, is there a way to play each track in it's own window?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a 4 screen video installation... (with 4 seperate monitors arranged around a room)... While I'm doing the editing, I'd love to be able to simulate the 4 screens by having 4 viewer windows open across my desktop, above the timeline... (similiar to the dual screen multiple edits arrangement, but each screen follows a different video layer [V1 goes to the far right window, V2 to the middle right window, V3 to the middle left, V4 to the far left])
    We'd rather not have to resize each clip in a single composition, it would be great if it would just assign to different viewer windows based on the track...
    This is for the editing process, only, for the installation it will be running off for seperate dvd players...

    Hi Josh
    We have done some jobs for multi-screen in AfterEffects and for checking the sequences side to side you can do the same in FCP.
    Create 4 sequences, one for each screen. (Seq 1-4).
    Create a fifth sequence (seq 5) four times wide (for PAL 4x720=2880).
    From the Browser window, drag Seq 1 in to Seq 5 V1
    From the Browser window, drag Seq 2 in to Seq 5 V2
    From the Browser window, drag Seq 3 in to Seq 5 V3
    From the Browser window, drag Seq 4 in to Seq 5 V4
    Alt-double click Seq 1 on V1 and apply Basic Motion > Center H. -1080
    Alt-double click Seq 2 on V2 and apply Basic Motion > Center H. -360
    Alt-double click Seq 3 on V3 and apply Basic Motion > Center H. 360
    Alt-double click Seq 3 on V3 and apply Basic Motion > Center H. 1080
    Now you can check on Seq 5 the relationship between each edit on Seq. 1-4 (you may have to render for playback).
