NO COLOR in Field Monitor of Adobe OnLocation

CONFIGURATION:
OnLocation CS3 (Trial), with XP Home SP2, Dell Dimention 4400, and NVidia AGP GeForce 5200 128MB video card, and 21" Optiquest Q110 monitor.
Video card supports 2 monitors analog (DB15) and DVI. In my configuration only analog output and single monitor is connected. There is also standard FireWire 1394 port where camera is connected. All works fine...
THE PROBLEM:
... except BARS and live feed image from camera, are always displayed in BLACK and WHITE (no color) but BLUE BARD are displayed in BLUE shades cirrectly. Monitor was callibrated and adjusted properly with NVidia settings (contrast, brightness, gamma, etc.) and all other applications are displayed in COLOR properly.
NOTES:
I understand that Field Monitor use overlay to display images, it should work OK as other video applications using overlay display work properly (e.g. Windows Media Player).
QUESTION:
What are technical reguirements for video (cards/monitors) to work properly with OnLocation as I couldn't find ANY information on Adobe website or anywhere else. Or, if anybody had similar problem and would like to share solution I would appreciate.

All turned out OK. It was just wrong setting for Field Monitor.
Everything works properly and live feed is now in full COLOR.

Adobe Reader 9.0 - Disable Forms Highlight color show border hover color for fields for all user a

Hello.
I am installing Adobe Reader 9.0 onto a new windows xp corporate build for my company. We would like to have the Forms Preference "Highlight Color" Show border Hover Color for Fields checkbox unchecked by default for any user that logs onto the workstation. (All new WinXP profiles, and if possible, any existing profiles) Is there a registry entry that can be changed to ensure that this option is unchecked by default on our WinXP build?
Thank you.

bumping thread...
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.0 Custom Wizard install creator tool, but it still appears that I will need to know what registry key to change/import into the installer for this preference to be disabled by default for all users of the workstation that Adobe Reader 9.x is installed onto.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Shobhit,
you can write something like xfa.host.setFocus(<text field name>). to set the focus or
<text field name>.fillColor = "120,120,123";
<text field name>.resolveNode"ui.#textEdit").border.edge.fill.color.value="120,150.200";
to fill the color.
Refer to adobe dev centger scripting samples to learn more on these.
Hope these helps.

Can OnLocation be used as a field monitor only (no recording)?

Hi,
My laptop is to slow to record HDV but I would like to use onlocation as a field monitor without recording to the laptop. Is this possible? I can't find any info in the manual. It would be a lot easier for our client to monitor the shoot on the laptop then on the cameras LCD.
Thanks

It certainly can be used for such purposes.

OLCS3 Field Monitors display black video in single display

I am using OL CS3 on WinXPSP2 with Canon HV20 camcorder on FireWire to my Lenovo T60 laptop, and had some success in getting clips recorded yesterday. However, no luck today. The Field Monitors do not show the live video feed, but remain black.
I rebooted my laptop, plugged in FireWire port (in an Adaptec PCMCIA card), started OL, and turned on HV20 camcorder. In OL, the Canon HV20 is listed in the Devices list, and selecting it causes Field Monitor to display text label "canon hv20 camcorder". The Field Monitor(s) still show black video...while the camcorder display shows the live image.
My laptop has only the integrated LCD panel display in use (as at boot time), the video adapter is ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 which does support dual displays. I used ATI Catalyst sw to check the video settings, which indicate there is only one display in use, it is not running clone mode or extended desktop, and the video overlay is set to show in Standard Dual Mode (which indicates video would show on both Main display and Secondary displays in original source video aspect if two displays were in use).
I read the Adobe knowledge base kb402180 "Field monitor does not display video when used on a computer with dual monitors (OnLocation CS3)" but it does not seem to solve my problem.
I can use Premier Pro CS3 to capture video I recorded to tape on the HV20 using the same hw setup. So it seems the FireWire link is okay, the camera can push a video stream on it, and so I remain suspicious of the video overlay settings. Only other thing is maybe the camera is not pushing live video stream to the FireWire cable? I'll check on that.
Anyone have any help?
Thanks,
Patrick

Brooce,
Thanks for the tip on the bug form...that is great.
As it turns out, I ran a parallel request into the Adobe support forum, and Erik H got me the answer to this problem yesterday....I found that deleting the appProps.xml file in C:\Documents and Settings\(your user folder)\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\OnLocation CS3 solved my problem.
MY GUESS
I use my laptop with dual external displays most of the time, but while trying to record with On Location I only use the integrated LCD panel while in the studio. I am guessing that OL gets confused if I happen to run it in both of these hardware configurations....the appProps.xml could get written with dual displays in my office and then OL might expect them even though the current hw config is a single panel while in the studio.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

No Bars In field monitor

The only way I can get to bars in the field monitor is by turning on blue button. Then blue only comes on when blue setting is clicked off. Making it nearly impossible to calibrate the field monitor. I am using Vista, but this problem only arose recently. Anyone having the same problem? May try re-installing but hear a lot of horror stories about that route as well. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Yup, tried restarting, rebooting etc.
Guess I will go the deactivate and re-install route and see what happens. After all, things were fine until recently. I am wondering if this is yet another "peculiarity" of Vista since when launching the app I now get a message that the Windows "scheme" has been changed due to incompatibility with a running program. Don't know why that would affect the color bars though. May be time to break down and scrounge the money for a Firestore. Not exactly the solution I was hoping for:>(
Anyway thanks for the input Mark. If I figure anything out I will post.

Mac Book Pro as field monitor?

Would it be possible to use the Mac Book Pro (the new 15" or 17") as a field monitor when shooting with a Sony PMW-EX3?
That would be neat to use the screen as a field monitor, then edit on the same machine...
Wouldn't that save in not having to have a monitor for the director?
If possible, how could it be done?
Thanks!

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p. 4:3....
The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.
Any ideas?

Flip Vertically - Field Monitor and captures in CS5

Hi,
I am using a Redrock micro M2 lens adapter on my Canon XH A1 (without the expensive flip accessory), and so the picture is inverted. I noticed that in OnLocation CS3, there is an option to flip the image vertically in the field monitor to correct this. However, I have OL CS5.5 and this feature doesn't seem to be there, or at least I can't find it. Anyone know how to flip the image vertically in the OL field monitor? Further to this, will the actual captured files be made flipped as well, or would it just be in the monitor? Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Dan

Canon XH-A1s not detected by Adobe OnLocation CS5

Hi All,
I recently purchased the Canon XH-A1s HDV Camcorder.
I've hooked the camera up the my 2011 MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, Quad Core i7 Processor) and am wanting to use Adobe OnLocation to record monitor footage as it is shot.
However, when I open Adobe OnLocation the camera is not detected and I just get the standard "No Video Input Available".
I've had a look at the Mac OS X System Profiler, under the FireWire section and the Camera is detected fine, so I know there isn't a problem with the FireWire 800 cable.
My current steps are as follows:
With camera turned off connect FireWire cable from the Camera to the MacBook Pro.
Open Adobe OnLocation.
Create a new project.
Turn the camera on.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I doing anything wrong/not doing something?
All help is greatley appreciate.
Thanks,
Oliver

I've managed to get Adobe OnLocation to detect the XH-A1.
OnLocation does not automatically detect the camera when in Manual mode, or any of the other preset modes for that matter.
The camera needs to be set to the very first option (before the VCR mode - I forget it's name).

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]
Best regards,
Tao

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

Editable field in a Adobe Form

Hi, guys.
I gotta insert an editable field in an adobe print form, but I can't make it editable.
I selected 'User Entered- Required' in the 'Value' palette of the field, but, after the launch of the program, it's not editable yet.
I also tried to valorize the field 'fillable' of an SFPDOCPARAMS-like structure, but this valorization ('X') have stopped the launch of the form.
Thanks for who will answer me!

Hi,
Go to form properties..
in that click on defaults tab...
there in preview...change it ro interactive form....
now check it in pdf preview...
The preview type affects Designer's preview only, not SAP spool's preview, which
is always non-interactive (unless, in the ABAP program, you set the fillable
parameter of function module FP_JOB_OPEN to X or N).
Thefillable field determines whether a form can have interactive features.
By default, it cannot. If you set fillable to 'X', interactive features are enabled
and Adobe Reader grants the so-called Reader rights (in particular, the user
can enter data and save the form together with the data). If fillable equals
'N', the user can make entries in the form, but cannot save the form together
with the entries.
regards,
Omkar.
