On the iMac Retina how do you scale to 5K without using a third party app?

On the Apple website there is a statement suggesting that using FCPX a 4K video can be seen in native resolution and still have room for timeline and tools etc. Without resorting to use of a third party app how do you adjust an iMac retina OSX and FCPX to achieve this?

Thanks for your comment
I would have thought so too however having now visited two local Apple stores and asked staff how to see a 4K video at full resolution none of them could show me. The resolution settings of the iMac Retina are way below the full 5K. At optimised for Retina its understandably half but even when settings are adjusted to highest resolution it is nowhere near 5K - it gets scaled to somewhere between 3-4K. There is talk of "content awareness" but this didn't seem to have much impact when using Quicktime or FCPX to view the sample 4K video files (checking info on these files reveals they are 4K images but when viewed the  resolution was lower).
I am aware third party apps (such as RDM) can be used to get greater control over what resolutions the display gets run at but from the description on the Apple website I would expect this adjustment to be able to be made in OS X.
Quote from Apple iMac Retina pages:
"The sheer number of pixels on the new iMac with Retina 5K display lets you view the latest high-resolution 4K video at 100 per cent, while still leaving plenty of room for your assets and timeline."
So how do you achieve this? The iMac Retinas I tried in store did not show this.

  • How do download a YouTube video without using a third party software?

    I already know, you can press option + cmd +A to open activities window, and double click on the .flv file to start download, but instead of downloading, it plays in another new window, what can I do?

    click to flash makes it fairly easy.

  • How do you create an array without using a shell on the FP?

    I want to be able to read the status of front panel controls (value, control box selection, etc.) and save it to a file, as a "configuration" file -- then be able to load it and have all the controls set to the same states as were saved in the file. I was thinking an array would be a way to do this, as I have done that in VB. (Saving it as a text file, then reading lines back into the array when the file is read and point the control(s) values/states to the corresponding array element.
    So how do I create an array of X dimensions without using a shell on the front panel? Or can someone suggest a better way to accomplish what I am after? (Datalogging doesn't allow for saving the status by a filename, so I
    do not want to go that route.)

    Thanks so much m3nth! This definitely looks like what I was wanting... just not really knowing how to get there.
    I'm not sure I follow all the icons. Is that an array (top left with 0 constant) in the top example? And if so, that gets back to part of my original question of how to create an array without using a shell on the FP. Do I follow your diagram correctly?
    If I seem a tad green... well I am.
    I hope you understand the LabVIEW environment and icons are still very new to me.
    Also, I had a response from an NI app. engineer about this problem. He sent me a couple of VI's that he threw together approaching this by using Keys. (I still think you are pointing to the best solution.) I assume he wouldn't mind m
    e posting his reply and the VI's for the sake of a good, thorough, Roundtable discussion. So here are his comments with VI's attached:
    "I was implementing this exact functionality this morning for an application I'm working on. I only have five controls I want to save, but they are all of different data types. I simply wrote a key for each control, and read back that key on initialization. I simply passed in property node values to the save VI at the end, and passed the values out to property nodes at
    the beginning. I've attached my initialize and save VI's for you to view. If you have so many controls that this would not be feasible, you may want to look into clustering the controls and saving the cluster as a datalog file.

  • How Do You Generate a 2048bit CSR for a Third Party SSL Certificate for LMS 4.0.1?

    Our site requires Third Party SSL certificates to be installed on our servers.  We have an agreement with inCommon. I have to supply a CSR in order to obtain the SSL certificate.
    My installation is on a Windows 2008 server and I had the self-signed CSR already but it is only 1024 bits.  Is there someplace in the GUI or OS where I can change the encryption?

    This is a shot in the dark, but since CiscoWorks is using (I believe) Tomcat as the web server, could you run keytool to generate the CSR?
    http://help.godaddy.com/article/5276
    You could also use an online CSR gererator such as:
    http://www.gogetssl.com/eng/support/online_csr_generator/
    The key (pun intended) is having the private key on your server so that when you get the signed certificate and install it (using sslutil) it will be usable.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I allow parental controlled users to access third party apps on the admin account?

    I just set my son up with a separate parental controlled user account and he can't seem to access some third party games that we installed for him under my admin account. He has saved progress on these games that we don't want to lose, so I don't want to reinstall them. I checked them off as allowed apps, but when he tries to play- the game icon shows up in the doc then changes to the updater icon and they won't run. I've searched for answers to this question, but can't seem to find any. Please help? My son and I would be very grateful!

    I need to post a video of my students online, but youtube can not be accessed through the school. I used to post videos through blogspot, but now with imovies, it does not work. Does anyone know a free and safe way to post videos online?

    VIMEO is free if you keep your upload volume below a certain level.
    FACEBOOK is also free and has the advantage that it is easy to control access to those you have designated as friends.

  • How can you add a where clause using "OR" with applied ViewCriteria?

    [JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
    [JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
    I am using JHeadstart, but have a question probably more in the ADF area. On the JHeadstart forum I asked:
    "I am overriding JhsApplicationModule's advancedSearch in order to be able to search in childtables. I created transient attributes, display those in advanced search and in the overridden method I check if any of these are filled by the user and create a where clause like 'EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>)'. I add this whereclause using ViewObject.setWhereClause.
    So far so good and it works. However, if the user selects 'Result matches any criteria', combining setWhereClause and the normal advancedSearch QueryByExample implementation using ViewCriteriaRow do not provide the desired result, since the ViewCriteria and the setWhereClause are AND-ed together, which is fine if the user selects the (default) "Results match all criteria" (everything is AND-ed) but not the "Result matches any criteria", since then every criterium is OR-ed together, except for the setwhereclause criteria and the set of ViewCriteriaRows, they are AND-ed.
    I looked if I could specify that a WhereClause will be OR-ed to existing applied ViewCriteria, but no luck. Do I have to rewrite also advancedSearch's ViewCriteria implementation and write an entire setWhereClause implementation to be able to "OR" every criterium? Or any other suggestions? Can I look at the entire Where clause and rewrite it (after applyCriteria and setWhereClause are called on the VO)?
    Toine"
    Sandra Muller (JHeadstart Team) told me today: "This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. The question is: how can you add a where clause using "OR" if there are already one or more ViewCriteria applied?
    To simplify the test case, you could create a simple ADF BC test client class in a test Model project without JHeadstart (in the test class, use bc4jclient + Ctrl-Enter), in which you first apply a few ViewCriteriaRows to a View Object and also add a where clause.
    Can you please log a TAR at MetaLink ( http://metalink.oracle.com/ ), or ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html ? (This what I am doing now ;-))

    Anyone knowing the answer or am I asking for an enhancement?
    Toine

    Hi,
    Can you SET your whereclause as follows ?
    ('Y' = <isAnd>
    and EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
    OR ('N' = <isAnd>
    AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> OR <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))

  • How do you switch to streaming without deleting synched photos in AppleTV?

    I have synced my photos onto my AppleTV and use them as my screen saver. I'd like to keep these photos on my Apple TV and also use the stream function to listen to my music playlists and movies. When I switch the option to streaming everything is deleted from my Apple TV, including the photos that I use as the screensaver. How do you switch to streaming without deleting synched photos in the Apple TV?

    Firstly, the ctrl-click option says turn of syncing not turn on streaming, but I'm not at all sure this is really what you want to do.
    In itunes, select the tv from the device list, then in the main part of the iTunes window select the summary tab and ensure you have custom sync enabled and that 'show only synced items' is unchecked.
    Click sync from the bottom RH corner, your tv should now see all the content in itunes provided it is checked. See This.
    Now you can work your way through all the tabs in the main window and select/deselect any content you want/don't want to sync.

  • Safari 7.1 seed 1 crash several third party apps. How to downgrade to 7.0.5 for now?

    I Have upgraded my rMBP mid 2912 15 inches model running OSX 10.9.4 to Safari 7.1 seed 1 Yesterdaypray, as it just pop up on MAS. After the upgrade, most software run fine including Safari but there are several third party apps problem caused by Netscapepulginhostserver in the new webkit that come with Safari 7.1
    PdFPen Pro 4.3.1 crash when started, it cannot connect to webview using webkit. View ever for GMail purchased from MAS hang in the similar manner with ODFPen Pro when attempt to open the app in desktop view. But Viewer for GMail work in mobile view.
    i Have contacted support of both software but cannot get support. So this is very strange where Apple release beta on production machine for normal users.
    how can I downgrade Safari to 7.0.5? I heard that Apple just released the downgrade option in MAS yesterday July 16 but it still not show up in my Thailand MAS.
    can any friend point me to manually download and install Safari 7.0.5 so I can run other third party apps without too much hassles and problems
    HElp and advsie Is appreciated.

    I have tried reinstall 10.9.4 combo. The installation went fine but Safari 7.1 seed 1 was not replaced by 7.0.5 at all. It is still 7.1 seed 1 after reinstall the combo update. However, yo my surprise, all third parties apps that have problem and hang like Tuba, PDFPen Pro, and desktop view of Viewer for GMail start functioning as it should be.
    iin all, I still have Safari 7.1 seed 1 on my system but now problems with third party apps seems to go away.
