PAL on an NTSC monitor

I've searched, but either I'm not searching correctly, or no one else has asked about this.
When I connect my Mac Mini to an NTSC TV (using the DVI adapter to get S-Video out) and go into "Display Settings," there's no restriction on the display modes to keep/display only NTSC settings. The only way, it seems, to find out if a setting is NTSC or PAL is to click on it.
Of course, clicking on a setting immediately applies that setting. If you've clicked on a PAL setting, then your TV goes berzerk and good luck trying to get the display back to NTSC.
So the question is: how do you permanently disable PAL modes from showing up in "Display?" Or, conversely, how about a way to get OS X to confirm the display change (like Windows does) before applying it (so you can get back to your previous setting)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You can't just encode from one standard to another
You need to use a standards converter, or have original PAL footage
What do you mean by "I changed the disc and encoding settings to PAL and encoded my stand alone movie from media 100?"
Just changing to PAL in DVD SP if the original footage is NTSC doesn't change the source footage and creates a PAL DVD.

  • External NTSC monitor viewing?

    I have an NTSC monitor hooked up to my JVC mini dv deck for use with FCP. Plays back fine in FCP. How do I configure so I can see it when working in DVD Studio Pro? Simulator is all I can figure out.
    Thanks!

    there is no facility to monitor using an NTSC or PAL monitor in DVDSP
    only work around is to burn a test disc and play back in a DVD player

  • G5 + NTSC Monitor

    I want to add an NTSC Monitor to my editing suite (G5 Tower). I am not sure what I need to do this? Do I need a video card? It is an old used model with A/V cables. I have looked at many posts but still am lost.
    Thanks

    According to the Apple Developers, site, all you need is a DVI to S-video/composite adapter that provides S-video and composite output to a PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR. I'd check the Apple Store.
    I'm pretty sure this is it: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6164003/wo/PV2jO xL5iPL821s4t8D1Pp3V5di/2.0.23.1.0.8.25.7.11.6.3

  • Can I use a NTSC monitor with my European MacBook Pro?

    Hi
    I moved from Europe to the US and took my Macbook Pro with me. Now I need a second computer monitor (thinking Dell u2410). Can I buy one here in the US or will the whole PAL vs. NTSC thing have an effect?
    Thanks for helping
    Cheers
    Jakob

    It will be fine. A Dell U2410 or any other monitor will work fine with your MacBook Pro.
    PAL vs. NTSC is not a consideration in computer displays. It really pertains only to video encoding (as in movies/DVDs/TV broadcasts), not the video output from the miniDisplayPort on your MacBook Pro.
    Also, FYI, you can play both PAL and NTSC videos/DVDs on your MacBook Pro and show them on your external monitor.

  • NTSC Monitor

    Can I use the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter,
    Part Number: M9319G/A, and set FCP Audio/Video Settings to view the canvas on an NTSC monitor?

    The digital to analog conversion that takes place in most camcorders, VTRs or converters is pretty much the same - the quality difference would be the same.
    When you set FCP to view "External Video," you're seeing the output of FCP's Canvas or Viewer (depending on which is active). You will not see unrendered clips unless they'll play in RT .. if they are unrendered and playback in RT, you'll see the unrendered version. You will not see what something might look like - such as MPEG-2 encoding ... Firewire output isn't a crystal ball.
    Keep in mind that FCP's Canvas window only displays a proxy of the full quality, which is another reason to be viewing on an external TV monitor.

  • Viewing FCP on NTSC MONITOR

    In my days with PC I used to watch my timeling in Premier Pro on my NTSC monitor. I had a Matrox card with an outbox and connected the svideo out on the box to my monitor.
    Now in the Mac Pro I have dual outputs on my ATI Raden card and all I get on my NTSC is a duplicate screen.
    Is there no way to do this? No one at Apple is of any help with this.'
    Thankds

    There are plenty of A/D converters on the market, but they have nothing to do with the DVI ports. Those will just give you a second monitor to mirror or extend your computer display.
    What camera are you using? Most will convert the signal (FW to the camera, analogue out of the camera to the monitor) but there are some preferences in FCP that you have to set.
    For converters, check out the line from Canopus.

  • Video Output to NTSC monitor

    I recently got new furniture, so of course, I unhooked everything and moved it around, and now, for some reason, I can't see video on my NTSC monitor. I know everything is hooked up correctly because I can log and capture and see video on the monitor; the video captures correctly with audio and everything. But when watching video in the timeline, there's nothing happening on the monitor. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?
    I have switched out firewire cables, rebooted the computer, etc. I'm so confused!

    #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
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    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

  • Aspect ratio of NTSC monitor display

    We're working on a FCP 4.5 project that's shot 16:9, and displays with the correct widescreen aspect in the canvas window (so long as pixels are displayed square). However, when I run mirrored video through a Sony DSR11 deck to an NTSC monitor, the picture appears stretched vertically (to fill the screen). How can I correct the aspect of the display in the monitor?
    Thanks
    Matt Clifton

    If I read right the poster is working anamorphic and wants to monitor it properly. Anything that creates a letterboxed display on 4:3 (including a deck conversion will not be monitoring the true signal. It will be a downrezzed and substantially mashed version.
    If you need to truly monitor anamorphic output, just "anamorph" the monitor - see above.

  • Firewire out to NTSC monitor.....no luck

    I've tried the things suggested on this board and I have no luck getting video out to my NTSC monitor. When I go to View -> Video playback, I only get two choices, "none" or "digital cinema desktop preview - main". When I selectr "external video -> All Frames, the setting doesnt stick.
    I have my MacPro's Firewire going to the DV input of my DVD recorder and the analog outputs to the monitor. Could it be that FCP simply doesn't recoginze my DVD recorder as a device? Hopefully I'm just missing something here.

    Chris, I've tried to do what I think you're doing now, with a different objective - getting my FCP sequence to record directly via FireWire to my Samsung DVD recorder. And that didn't work either. I think the reason is for External Video to see a DV signal, it has to be both DV in and out. Since the DV FireWire cable you're hooking up to your DVD Recorder does not allow FCP to receive a DV signal, FCP is not recognizing the Recorder as a DV source. Does that make sense? I think you need to do as Jerry suggessts and get a DV deck or camera - I've seen JVCs selling for under $200!

  • Viewing on external NTSC monitor

    Here is my setup, I have a Dual 2.7 GHz G5 with a X800XT 256 MB video card with ADC and DVI outs. I had an older card in there with 2 DVI's connectors and one of them had a DVI to Video Adapter to the NTSC and all was fine.
    When I got the new video card I had to plug the LCD into the DVI connector and I installed an older ATI Radeon PCI card to runt he NTSC monitor. Not sure what model the the older card is but it does have an svideo out and DVI out. I have tried with the NTSC monitor plugged into the DVI connector with the DVI to Video adapter and plugged directly into the svideo out. Plugged into the DVI and adaptor the video is distorted and unusable plugged in directly to the Svideo port the video works fine but I can't get Final Cut or anything else to recognize it as the NTSC video out device.
    My thought is that either the PCI card I have is too old for the Apps to recognize it, or that the Apps with only work with the primary AGP graphics Card.
    Has anyone else had this problem? and is there an easy solution?
    I have a ADC to DVI adaptor on order to give my new video card dual DVI outputs hopping that will fix the issue.
    thanks
    Ken

    Easy solution...don't do this. Route the signal thru your deck or camera:

  • Livetype to External NTSC Monitor

    Is it possible to view Livetype 1.2 on an NTSC monitor?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    If your camcorder doesn't support analog-digital passthrough, you will need an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-110 to connect your NTSC monitor to your Mac. You'll connect via FireWire from your Mac to the converter, and analog (composite or s-video + audio) from the converter to your NTSC monitor.

  • FCP to NTSC monitor solution help required

    Greetings,
    Please forgive me, this is my first foray into owning a Mac.
    I am getting started with Final Cut Pro, and am looking for a good way to capture analog sources, and output my FCP timeline to an NTSC monitor. My monitor takes RGB and component, and I would like to use one of those if possible.
    I have looked into the AJA Kona cards, and they seem a little too robust for my needs. I won't be capturing HD SDI any time soon. The blackmagic solutions seemed interesting, the Decklink SP looked good, and the Intensity looked OK too, but I haven't seen too much talk on them. Are their any other solutions people are using to monitor their timelines? Currently I am just working with plain old DV.
    Thanks so much for your advice,
    David

    The Intensity Pro may be just right for you with your Mac Pro. Very reasonably priced. I have the HDMI only Intensity card and it is nice. Not sure of all connections packaged with the Pro model, but good stuff. Intel units only for this product.
    AJA is an awesome company and great products. I have the LHe and the tech support is the best. Like anything you do get what you pay for.
    Good Luck

  • FCP 4: NTSC monitor image FROZEN/movie plays JITTERY in canvas window.

    Hey guys. This started yesterday. Every time I hit play, the image from the frame I began playing at on the timeline remains frozen on my NTSC monitor, while the movie plays jittery, roughly, totally unsmoothly in the canvas window. I'm pretty sure I've tried all of Shane's answers, but right now I'm stuck. Any help is immensely appreciated.
