Output resolution

I remember reading here when version 3 Apple TV software came out that there were problems with the program crashing when setting the output resolution to 1080i. I think the fix was 720p, which I have had my Apple TV set on since that problem. I have had no problems since then. My current software version is 3.0.2. Is it safe to now set the output resolution to 1080i or 1080p?

I've never had a problem with my ATV1 crashing with the output set to 1080p, but it did drop down to 720p at random until I moved it to another room and connected it to a different TV.

  • Output Resolution Settings

    I recently installed a Canon MP495 series printer on my iMac and when I try to print anything from Pages I get the following error message:-
    The Output Resolution option 600 x 600 dpi is not available hen Output Resolution is set to 300 x 300 dpi
    If I ignore the message the printed item is produced in a very small font size.
    This problem does not occur with Word for Mac which makes me suspect Pages.
    Can anyone help please?

    Look through your Printer options in the Print dialog and also I'd check with Canon.
    It sounds to me like a printer driver issue, output is mostly generic from OSX which uses the UNIX CUPS engine to output postscript to printers.
    Probably Canon has done something quirky. Word probably uses Microsoft code for output which happens to match whatever Canon has done for Windows.

  • How to change output resolution?

    Hi!
    I have a 13" MacBook Pro, and am using the Dr. Bott Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Pro with Optical Audio to connect to my Samsung LE22B47 TV.
    The resolution of the TV is 1366x768, but the best output resolution for it my Mac offers is 1344x756. It's ok, but it's not great.
    How can I change the output resolution so it fits the screen perfectly? I've heard about ScreenResX - is that any good and easy to use?
    Thanks!

  • I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD  my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

    I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD?
      my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

    No, second generation AppleTV outputs 720p HD only, the 3rd generation outputs 1080p.
    2nd gen can decode 1080p in theory but the output resolution maxes out at 720p.
    If it's any consolation AppleTV 2's can fetch good 2nd hand values compared to ATV 3's.

  • Poor Output Resolution FCE-iDVD5

    I shot a project last week on a Panasonic DVX100 60i in simulated 16:9. Import into FCE went without a hitch. Editing went fine. The problem came up when I exported my sequences for DVD authoring in iDVD. My crystal clear resolution in FCE turned to pixelated picture with dulled colors. I could not find output resolution controls either in FCE or iDVD. Can anyone here give me any pointers for getting clean DVD authoring with iDVD?

    iDVD 5 and 6 have two encoding choices: 'Best Performance' for putting up to 60 minutes of content on a single-layer DVD and 'Best Quality' for putting up to 120 minutes of content on a single-layer DVD. Despite the names Apple has given the two modes, for content under 60 minutes, 'Best Performance' will give you the best image quality.
    iDVD 7 adds a third mode: 'Professional Quality' that is two-pass variable bit-rate encoding. It will take twice as long to encode as 'Best Quality', but for content between 60 and 120 minutes, is worth considering.
    How long is your video clip and what encoding mode did you use?

  • Output resolution help

    I am new to FCE and have been experimenting and working on some short projects to learn the NLE process. It has been challenging but fun.
    I have come up on a snag that I cannot find the answer for in the help files for FCE. I shot a project last week on a Panasonic DVX100 60i in simulated 16:9. Import into FCE went without a hitch. Editing went fine. The problem came up when I exported my sequences for DVD authoring in iDVD. My crystal clear resolution in FCE turned to pixelated picture with dulled colors. I could not find output resolution controls either in FCE or iDVD. Can anyone here give me any pointers for getting clean DVD authoring with iDVD?

    Thanks Tom. I will try posting this on iDVD as well.
    The project is two +/-1:30 sequences; so a total of about 3 minutes. I exported from FCE as QT Movie.
    I intended to film in 16:9 so that was no problem. I just used the 4:3 canvas in FCE so it didn't stretch/squeeze the image.

  • S-video output resolution

    I have a a mini-DVI to component/s-video adapter on my Macbook. I connect to a projector using the s-video cable. I did not expect this to be as clear a picture as direct VGA connection but it is much worse than I expected. The projector picture is noticably lower resolution than the SD digital TV tuner or DVD player that uses the same s-video cable.
    I have set the display resolution to the maximum available (1024x768) but it does not seem to be using this resolution. The other choices under display preference are no better.
    It looks like I will need to use the VGA adapter and cable for decent quality but that is going to be a nuisance with cables.

    Due to the way an S-video signal is generated, the maximum resolution is about 640 x 480 pixels. You can output higer resolution to the S-video connector, but that resolution can not be meaningfully processed by a television set; the higher frequency components will be averaged together into a fuzzy low resolution display. The low resolution is a result of he way the S-video signal is composed and the timing constraints of NTSC or PAL video systems.
    To get decent quality, you really need to use a component source such as a VGA cable that can send data at substantially higher data rates. S-video has a video bandwidth of about 4.5 MHz, while VGA bandwidth is 80 MHz or higher and is not constrained by NTSC or PAL timing.
    Most CRT televisions usually don't make very suitable computer displays (unless the are designed with a VGA component input). The high voltage supplys of TVs aren't are closely regulated as computer monitors and the result is blooming, color bleed and positional jitter. Recall that TVs re typically intended to be viewed at a distance of a meter or more, while computer displays are often viewed at less than a meter. The relatively poor quality of an average TV isn't noticable at typical viewing distances, but looks terrible for computer output. Of course, high definition television has changed the rules, and high def TVs often double as pretty good computer monitors when fed with a VGA (or DVI or HDMI) signal.
    I teach a communications systems course, and one of the things we study is television. As an exercise, we considered a 50 inch diagonal measure 16:9 aspect ratio screen. At 3.5 meters (about 10 feet), the apparent picture quality of a 720p and 1080i picture is the same to a person with average visual acuity - so unless you like to sit close to your TV, you can save cost by buying a 1376x768 pixel screen instead of a 1920x1080 screen. I have a feeling in the next year or two all screens sold will probably be 1920x1080 (or more) anyway, so above point may become moot.

  • Macbook air mini dp output resolution / full screen app issues

    I've successfully connected my new macbook air 13" to my LED tv with a mini DP to hdmi adapter + hdmi wire. I am able to get video and audio (obviously.)
    My issue is that no matter when resolution I try (1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc) and wether I am "mirroring" the display or "extending" the display,
    My samsung 46" LED tv can not get full screen there is always black bars on the left and right.
    When I connect my PC via VGA wire  there are no bars and it is in full land scape view.
    Also I've noticed in lion that full screen apps show up as the "linen wallpaper" on the second display.
    the only way i can slightly alleviate the problem is full screening a video within youtube but not within the OS it self... even then there is still black bars which is weird because when i use the TV as a extended monitor the wallpaper is using the whole display just full screen video has black bars.
    I am unable to get 1920 x 1200 output display to my HDTV is this possible? is it my mini DP to hdmi adapter that is at fault?
    thanks in advanced to whoever helps sorry about the long post my brain is scattered on the issue because my VGA connetion works fine i don't understand why HDMI + mini DP has worse resolution...

    No, it doesn't list the resolution explicitly like that - the top few items in the list are "480i", "480p", "720p", "1080i" and "1080p", each with a small TV icon to the right. Non-television resolutions follow, and are listed with explicit pixel dimensions (and no TV icon), but the list stops at 1440x900, the native resolution of the MacBook's built-in display; it doesn't list resolutions higher than that.
    Needless to say, I've tried every setting in the entire list, and they all suffer from the same problem of displaying shrunk down on the plasma TV with a margin around the desktop.
    I wonder if the difference between your Display control panel and mine is that I'm running Snow Leopard? (Sorry - no screen grabs to show, I'm at work right now)

  • IMac Mini DVI output resolution

    Hi.
    My friend tells me that the new Intel iMacs can output display resolutions that support the 30-inch display. However, the technical specs state that it only supports a maximum of 1920 x 1200 resolution.
    Why is the maximum capped at this resolution, is it because of the mini-dvi connector it uses or an imposed limitation by Apple? Surely the iMac graphics cards can output to 2560 x 1600?
    If someone could definitively tell me whether the new Intel iMacs can support the 30-inch display or not that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello, 
    The Intel iMacs offer mirroring and dual-displays at resolutions of:
    Digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200
    Analogue resolutions up to 2048 by 1536.
    This is a grpahics card limitation and not the MiniDVI adaptor.
    Apple's 30" display requires a dual-link DVI to drive it which the iMac does not offer. You can connect any physical size display so long as the resolution is less than or equal to those listed above.

  • DVI - HDMI Output resolution

    I have an 26" HDTV with a resolution of 1366x768. I would assume that the mbp 256mb graphics card should easily be able to output this. Unfortunately I have only been able to output at 1344x756 interlaced. Im using a DVI-HDMI cable to hook up the two. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my mbp to output at 1366x768? Thanks in advance.

    Generally speaking, a Mac outputs video to an external display exactly according to what it is told to by the display. When a Mac is connected to a display, there is a "handshake" that takes place over a data line imbedded in the video cable and driver data, called EDID, is passed from the display to the Mac from which the Mac builds the required resolution "on-the-fly." If your MBP is sending 1344x756 to the TV, then that is likely what is being asked of it.
    You can confirm if that is in fact true by installing SwitchRes X (I recommend SwitchRes X Control Panel over the full version of SwtichRes X) and clicking on the "Export DDC" button in the main SRX "Display" pane. The resulting text file is a dump of the driver data inside your TV and it will contain detailed timing under a heading Descriptor #0 that will show the first requested timing. Probably you will find it is 1344 x 756 interlaced.
    If you want, you can try and build a custom native timing for your display. But then you face the question, why didn't the manufacturer do this in the first place? The answer to that question could be that the display won't run from a timing equal to the panel's native format. All I can say to that point is that manufacturers of TVs treat them differently when compared with their computer monitor brethren. It's possible that were you to build a custom, native timing, the TV might not work from it.
    To build a custom timing, click on the Custom tab in SRX and then click on the "+" button to add a new timing. Type in 1366 for the Horizontal Active value and 768 for the Vertical Active value. Then click on the "Use simplified settings:" check box and in the associated pop-up select CVT. SRX will then fill in all the other boxes for you. Click OK and then follow the remaining istruction for saving and rebooting. Your new timing should then show up and become active and selectable. Good luck.

  • How to change the Grid ALV output resolution according to screen

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement in which I have to adjust the Grid ALV Output Screen resolution according to user screen. I mean if the user has any type of  screen (17'' , 15'', 12.1'' ),  the output should be completely fit to his screen.
    Helpful solution will definitely be rewared.
    Amit Varlani

    Hi!
    I doesn't depends on the screen size only the desktop resolution.
    If the desktop resolution is set to 1024*768 on every computer, then it will be the same all the time.
    You can set the desktop resolution in your windows (right click on desktop - properties - settings).

  • Controlling PDF Output Resolution when converting AutoCAD to PDF

    I have a standalone java application that converts AutoCAD formats to PDF using the VectorConvertOptions AutoVue API settings. The transformations work fine but on some documents the PDF output quality is bad. Any tips or code snippets as to how to manipulate the transformation in order to create higher resolution PDF's? Im thinking I have do something with the pen settings?
    Thanks in advance!

    DPI is controlled by the AutoVue Document Converter driver
    It can not be modified through the convert options
    Your drawing is probably small enough so that it does not fit the default settings, but printing uses a 150 DPI by default and convert defaults to 300 or 600 depending on the version you have
    So getting a better picture when you print than convert is something you would not expect, unless DPI for convert has already been modified.
    Even through PDF is a vector format, it uses integer number for the coordinates (in points)
    so you are bound to run into this issues the smaller the drawing you are trying to convert
    That is even more problematic if you have fixed width line styles (like acad has)
    Which version of AutoVue are you using?

  • Changing DVD output resolution in encore CS4

    Hi.
    I've recently started using encore to produce DVD's but I have noticed that whenever I create a new project the DVD resolution is locked at 720 x 576.
    This hasn't been a problem because the past few DVD's iv made were just low quality anyway, but now I'm wanting to make a full HD DVD because I have a video saved at 1920x1080
    how can I change this resolution to match the video files??
    Thanks
    PomTom

    Proper dvd's with movies on them have a high quality output setting that looks crisp on large tv's
    Its not a blue ray disk, Its a normal dvd
    When i make dvds though encore since the dimentions is stuck at 720x576 the image is pixalted
    Proper DVDs are only 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480
    This is DVD spec. See Encore help for DVD formats it supports.

    As John points out, commercial studios use high end software (I think he meant starting at $5,000), multi-passes, and special experts in compression.
    But what you describe (pixelated), sounds like poor quality, not just not good on large screens. So you are having problems either in the downrez or the datarate.
    What is the datarate you are using? How long is the video?

  • Overide/Lock HD Output Resolution

    For some reason when I put my HDMI through a switch my HD content down converts to 480p from the 1080i all other inputs into the switch work properly at 1080i or 1080p as the output setting at locked to said resolution. My FiOS DRV seems to be getting confused and even though in the setting it is set to push out 1080i it goes against that and down converts to 480p.
    Is there a way to override this and lock my output to 1080i no matter what it is connected to?

    There is no way to lock it. All outputs work the same. The signal is pushed out of the box with certain parameters. Once the signal leaves the box the set top box has no control over what happens to it. Its like pouring water out of a bucket. The bucket just drops the water out and it has no control of what happens to the water when it leaves. I'm sorry your switch is not working correctly with the signal sent out from the box, but the box has no control over that. I wish you the best of luck working with the switch. Try contacting the manufacturer of the switch, they might be of more help.

  • Output resolution looks pixelated, project looks fine + more Qs :)

    captivate 4.0.0
    hi all,
    I've just downloaded the latest captivate 4 as a trial and am starting work on a new project. Sorry if these things have been asked but I looked around and couldnt find anything.
    I'm setting up a project template with a few standard interlude screens between the videos, while looking at them in Captivate in Edit View they look fine, crisp text, images look fine etc...
    but when I preview, and output (in high quality flash 8 min) the text looks more bold, less clear slightly pixelated and image start to appear a bit fuzzy. Is there something I'm missing? my resolution for the cap videos is set at 1010x615 and I'm viewing it on dual monitors and both are looking ugly....
    any ideas?
    alos another quick Q, if I create a design template and base a project off it, then update said template, will the project update with the new stuff when I re-open it?
    I expect to be asking a lot more questions over the next week or so as im not up to scratch on captivate at all.....thanks!!!!!!!

    Hi there
    Are you playing back at the same identical size as you recorded? If not, things may not look as expected. Captivate works best if you record and play back at the same resolution.
    Cheers... Rick
