No Signal from Timeline to External Broadcast Monitor

I've been running FCP 6.0.1 for about three months with no problems until just recently when I lost timeline signal to my external JVC broadcast monitor. Log and capture work fine and All Frames is selected in the View menu.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Timeline to External / Source Monitor

I am presently migrating to CS5 Prod. Prem. Just recently installed all apps.
In Prem. Pro, How can I get the footage placed in the sequence timeline to gang to the Source Monitor Panel and/or output to my external monitor? From the source monitor panel, I can select the sequence, but when I manually scrub back and forth thru the sequence using the timeline there is no output to the external tv monitor, only to the desktop program monitor within the PP workspace.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm sure I'll have many more questions. I'm migrating over from A/ FCS3.

no go... I can only output to the external monitor through the Source Monitor. When I try to turn off output from the program monitor, I just get a little dialog box saying Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning with a check box and okay button. My output seems to be locked to the Source monitor. I am able to bring up the dialog boxes you spoke of in the Program monitor.
I'm outputting thru a Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI/Component/Composit pci card. The card has it's own panel in System Preferences of the OS and is outputting thru HDMI to the external monitor. As I said, I'm able to output from the Source Monitor in PP, but not the Program Monitor in PP. The timeline seems locked to the Program monitor, Is there a way to link the timeline to the Source Monitor, instead of the Program Monitor?
Thanks again,
J.

External Broadcast Monitor always needed?

After reading, and re-reading many posts here... I fully understand that one would need a broadcast monitor for a true look at the final output. I understand you can't trust your iMac or even the cinema external display...
But...I am just curious.. if my output is going be only the web or on a computer do I really need to spend the $$ to get a broadcast monitor? If it looks good on my iMac screen or external cinema display, is that good enough?
Thanks in advance for your insight and comments.

It gets worse. I also have my old trusty G4 running FCP 4.5 on OS 10.3.9. But I did finally sell an even older G4 that was running OS 9 with FCP 2, so there's some progress.
And I hate to admit it, but I do also do some editing on a MacPro with FCP 6. But that's as far as I'll go (for now). Maybe next year I get to FCP 7. But it's a BIG maybe.

How would i acquire signals from a philips viridia patient monitor?

i'm looking for a simple way to acquire patient vital sign trend data
(BP, pulse, etc) from our Philips Viridia patient monitors in the ER.
How can I capture these signals using biobench?

You can use a software application called MECIFView. It uses the MECIF protocol to acquire these signals from certain patient monitors (such as the Viridia). You can download a demo version at http://www.mecifview.com

External Broadcast Monitoring

It doesn't appear to be possible that one could monitor SpeedGrade with a broadcast signal to external monitor without the use of an NVidia Quadro 4000 SDI...is that right? That can't be right, can it? One card is suggested by the application's preferences dialogue?
The app doesn't see my Kona 3. It appears to just be looking for SDI output options. I don't use SDI out, I use analog YPbPr – does that mean that I'll never get to monitor anything out of SpeedGrade? Sure SDI is great, but not really necessary for grading; maybe keying for 5k.
What's the plan with monitoring for this program? I'd like to use it since Apple killed Color, but the chances are slim if I have to buy more equipment just to see accurately what I'm doing.

Thanks Manuel, but the problem there is that it would still be a computer monitor – not accurate. I can already look at it that way because I'm running dual displays along with the external monitor. They're very different from each other. I've calibrated my HD display to get close, but it's still not the same – they still look different.

How can I view on external NTSC monitor in PRCS6?

NOTE: I've aksed this quesion before on this forum and followed the kind suggestions given, however, I have not yet been successful. Note that I can view my timeline on my external broadcast monitor just fine in FCP .. anyone??

Hi Steven,
Thanks for jumping in.
I cannot find "Enable Transmit" anywhere under any menu ... just for clarity, I have CS6, not PRCC.
As a side note - not sure why this should be an issue at all, and why it is not readily explained by Adobe ... there does not seem to be any aswers anywhere from Adobe, or online also for that matter. Seriousely, anyone who's an editor is going to want to view their work in an extenral NTSC monitor, and not on the computer display ...
Many thanks

Getting signal from a playback monitor

Hi all
I just very recently set up a FCP suite at home using a Mac Pro. I hooked up 2 samsung LCDs to the 2 available DVI outputs on the Mac Pro so i have more desktop space to edit with.
I then bought a LG TV so that i could monitor my timeline on a big screen.
I have set up a firewire cable to my SONY HDV VI cam and then connected the camera to the LG TV via RCA, as the FCP guide suggested.
I then go into final cut to change the playback settings but i see no option for firewire playback...
Would anyone know what the best and cheapest way for me is to get a signal from my external playback monitor??
i am not very technical at all, so any help would be greatly aprpeciated@@!!!!!!

yes, ok.
if you are using FCP 6, editing in HDV but want to monitor via DV (downconverted) then you'll need to create for yourself an Easy Setup so you don't have to regualrly jump through any hoops.
you're in Oz so I'm guessing PAL
start by choosing a regular DV setup .... *Easy Setup*: *DV PAL*
then open the Audio/Video Setting window and change the *Capture Preset* to HDV and the *Sequence Preset* to the particular preset that matches your flavour of HDV (HDV 1080i50 ?)
then click *Create Easy Setup* and give your new Easy Setup a relevant name and description (eg HDV 1080i50 with DV OUT, This is the easy setup to use to monitor DV from an HDV edit.)
Now you should find you can capture and edit HDV and monitor that footage via DV
( obviously you need to have a DV device plugged in, that device need to be configured for DV input, and you need to have selected Apple Firewire PAL in the View > Video Playback menu ... if you don't see that option try choosing View menu > Refresh A/V Devices, then look again )

How do I stream Keynote from my MBP to external TV monitor?

I have a Rocketfish mini displayport to HDMI adapter going from my MacBookPro my external TV monitor. Under "Input" a picture shows up on "HDMI3", however, I cannot seem to figure out how to display my keynote presentation. Can someone help me? Thank you so much!

When you say "a picture shows up" what is that picture, is it a blank Mac desktop? If so, you did it correctly and you now have a second monitor work area (an "extended desktop") that is empty...because you haven't moved anything over there yet. Drag your Keynote window to that monitor and it will show up. Or, if you wanted to see the same thing on both monitors, turn on Mirroring (under the Displays menu bar item or the Displays system preference).
You may want to take advantage of special Keynote features when using two monitors in extended desktop mode (mirroring off). For example, Keynote can display the presentation on the external display for the audience to see, and presenter notes, timer, etc. on the internal display for only you to see. For more info on your options read this:

Monitor not receiving signal from computer

I have an Envy 700-074 and I bought a EVGA Geforce GTX 660 (Superclocked) video card to use with it this past July. It worked very well for the past few months until mid-September when I started having problems while play WOW (I had no problems playing other games that required more video than WOW or in doing my 3d rendering). So two days ago I contacted Blizzard support for advice and they told me to run this display driver uninstaller from guru 3d to totally remove the nvidia drivers from my computer and then reinstall them fresh. Well when I ran the driver remover program, my screen went black and now I can't get any display response at all from my computer. The monitor says it is receiving no signal from my computer. I tried with both a DVI hookup and a VGA hookup and got same response. Please tell me what I can do to fix this. I need my computer.

Please How can I capture and integrate a single pulse of a DC signal from an external circuit

Hello everyone
I am trying to integrate a signal from an external circuit I have built. I want to capture just a single pulse from the signal and integrate it. Please can anyone assist me with how I can perform this?

The 6008 has no hardware analog trigger, so to capture a single pulse, you will need to trigger in software. It does have a digital trigger, so if you have a digital way to signal the start of your pulse, it would make your life easier. You will need to ensure you take enough data to get an entire pulse. At that point, use one of the trigger VIs to find the start (and possibly end) of your signal. Take a subset of your data and integrate it (LabVIEW does support integration).
If you have trouble finding anything, let us know. Find the trigger and integration VIs using the search feature of the palettes.

Generating signal from the 5412 which is in sync with the external signal

Hi,
I am using the 5412 AWG. An external signal comes from the test unit. I need to generate a signal to the test unit which should be in synchronous with external signal which comes from the test unit. Can anyone help in this?
Regards,
Rajashekar

Hi Rajashekar,
You could synchronize these two signals by sharing a start trigger and using the input signal from your test unit as the sample clock for the 5412. There are some considerations when doing this that can be seen in the External Sample Clock Considerations section of the 5412 help linked below:
External Sample Clock Sources
If you are using LabVIEW, you can find examples in the Example Finder located at Help >> Find Examples. The FGEN examples are located at Hardware Input and Output >> Modular Instruments >> NI-FGEN >> Arbitrary Waveform Generation. You can choose which line to use as the sample clock. You will also need to add in some triggering. You can find an example of triggering at Hardware Input and Output >> Modular Instruments >> NI-FGEN >> Synchronization >>FGEN DAQmx Synchronization.vi. This is synchronizing to a DAQ card, but you can synchronize to your external signal just the same way, i.e., sharing a start trigger and a reference clock.

Jim Schwartz

New monitor can not detect signal from new referb pc

Monitor is a new flat screen,  model 2310m full HD with  vga, hdmi, and dvi-d connectors and boot up CD which includes pdf manual and video drivers etc..
        PC is a referb Pavilion M9200t first time started since referb with a G-Force GT graphics card (1 gigabite) and dual DVI-D connections. No VGA or HDMI out. OS is vista ultimate that I will probably update to windows 7 if I ever get it set up. Monitor does not get a signal from new PC with DVI-D cable or a VGA cable with an adapter. Monitor works fine with my old XP PC after installing drivers and using the vga cable. New PC has no VGA out, so I bought a VGA to DVI-D adapter thinking that it would have proper drivers for a VGA monitor with no success. I also tried new PC on my old monitor with the DVI-D adapter on the VGA cable and that didn't work either. I can't do a first run setup without a monitor and the monitor won't work without a signal.
       I bought the PC from a friend who decieded to buy a laptop instead and had never started it. He bought it from someone who was selling referbs on E-bay and messed up and accidently started the warranty period or so they say.
        Also when I plug the PC in the fan starts and continues running till I do a hard shutdown, that is holding start button down till the PC shuts off. If I unplug and replug the computer it starts again without pushing start button. Does anyone think it is the graphics card issue or maybe power supply, or just not booting at all?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.------Thanks in advance.----Larry

            Ok, thats the procedure I was talking about earlier. I did that bios default factory reset just now. First the version 6 and earlier. It didn't work so I tried version 7 and later and that didn't work. I then tried version 6 and earlier again only this time pushed F10 more rapidly and got right in right when I got to the F5 and enter portion. Then I pushed F10 again to save the change and enter again to close. The PC didn't boot up the next screen like the test said it would. So I did it all again and spent some time reading what was on the bios pages but accidently pushed ESC as the bios menu suggested instead of enter to close out   . No boot up screen again. I did another hard shutdown and then unplugged the cord for 5 minutes and this time the PC stayed off when I plugged it back in. The bios are set to default but I cannot get it to start again in safe mode or boot up. So if the power supply is working properly, and the monitor worked in safe mode, then the video card must be good. right?
          So I'm editing from the night before, its Monday morning here in Wi. and I'm sorry to say that after leaving the PC unplugged all night that when I plugged it back in this morning, the dumb thing started again without pushing the  start button.  So the only thing doing a recovery on the bios accomplished was to prove that my the video card can run the monitor in safe mode which is a good thing I guess. Hope someone has an idea as to what else I can try.-------thanks

Acquire signals from a monitor

How does one acquire the physiological signals from a medical monitor? The monitor is a non-national instruments monitor. The patient monitor records ecg, invasive blood pressure from a patient and displays this on a screen. This information is relayed to a central station. Is there a way to obtain these signals and see the ecg and blood pressure waveforms in labview and thus analyse these waveforms. Thank you

Is reading the manual for this medical monitor something you are not capable of doing?

What hardware do I need to monitor the signal from an incremental encoder?

We are trying to implement a feeding
solution for one of our cutting machines and I’m not quite sure how to proceed.
I have attached a document from the NI website that outlines exactly what we are
trying to do but does not go into detail on any of the concepts like programming
and implementation.
1.) We have a NI DAQPad-6015
connected to a SC-2345 which has one SCC-CTR01 module installed. Which this
configuration can we read the incremental encoder signal and use to setup our
cutting machine as outlined in the attached document? If not what is the
minimum amount of hardware we need to sample the signal from the incremental
encoder and obtain both the direction and magnitude of the
movement?
2.) If we wanted to use the
information obtained from the encoder and subsequently send a signal to a
stepper motor controller or perhaps a PLC what additional hardware would be
needed.
Thanks,
Chris

Incremental Encoder Example.pdf ‏94 KB

Hi Chris,
For quadrature encoder measurements your
hardware is not the ideal equipment. The 6015 doesn't provide X4
decoding. That means, that the board counts only one raising edge of
one phase. Still, if you connect phase A and B to the counter inputs,
it will count up and down, depending on the direction of the axis, but
as already mentioned, you will loose 75% of the available resolution. Here is some more information about this topic.
The document that you are referring to recommends a PCI-6624
and this is in fact a much better option. This board provides X4
decoding and isolated inputs not only for phase A and B but also for
the Z-index (not available for the 6015).
If you need a USB-solution and if you can work with TTL voltages, you might have a look at the USB-6218, that provides isolated I/Os.
For motion control there are various options. E. g. you could use an NI motion control device like the PCI-7332,
but there are also options to communicate with external motion
controllers through CANopen, RS232 or various fieldbusses. Depending on
the solution that you choose, you may need a bus interface that
provides support for your programming software.
I hope that helps,
