Photos on TV: Composite vs. Component

I use the component video connection to watch iPod movies on our TV. However, our sync'd photos will not display via this connection. Would they display using composite video? Thanks.

I want to buy the one that is gonna work on the bulk of TVs out there. The trend seems like most even new TVs will have RCA inputs but I know lots of old TVs wont have component.
Accessing my vast experience with televisions I would estimate that 99.9% have a composite input, and about 95% also have component input.
Bear in mind though, the Hollywood cartel is pushing hard to make component video illegal. In fact, beginning this year DVD players can no longer output HD video on component cables. HD can only output on the less reliable HDMI connector.
About the only time I see a television without component inputs are on the cheap televisions that hotels buy.

Best practices for adding components in a composite custom component

Hello,
I am developing a custom, composite JSF component need to dynamically add child components in my renderer class. I've noticed that people add components to a custom component in many different ways. I'd like to follow JSF best practices when developing this component - of the following approaches, which would you recommend? Or is there yet another approach I should be using?
1) in the encodeBegin method of my renderer class, create a new component, add it to the component tree, and let the page life cycle take care of the rendering:
HtmlDataList dimensionStateGroupDataList = (HtmlDataList) app.createComponent( HtmlDataList.COMPONENT_TYPE );
//set properties on dimensionStateGroupDataList
component.getChildren().add(dimensionStateGroupDataList);
2) in either the encodeBegin or encodeEnd method, create a component and encode it:
HtmlDataList dimensionStateGroupDataList = (HtmlDataList) app.createComponent( HtmlDataList.COMPONENT_TYPE );
//set properties on dimensionStateGroupDataList
dimensionStateGroupDataList.encodeBegin();
dimensionStateGroupDataList.encodeEnd();
Both of these methods are functional, and I prefer the first (why encode children if you don't have to?), but I am interested in other people's take on how this should be done.
Thanks for your help.

My bad, sorry, wasnt concentrating, Im afraid I have no experience with portlets, but I would have thought that you can mimic the outputLinkEx in you renderer by encoding your own links?
If you were to bind a backing bean variable to an outputLinkEx what would it be? Not understanding portlets, or knowing what an outputLinkEx is may be hindering me, but you should be able to create an instance of it in code like (this example uses HtmlOutputLink, you would need to know which component to use):
HtmlOutputLink hol = new HtmlOutputLink();
hol.set....Then set any attributes on it, and explicitly call its encodeStart, encodeEnd functions. Is that way off the mark.

Composite or Component AV Cable

Which AV Cable is better for the iphone. The composite or component. I would like to watch it on the TV and charge at the same time and jujst didn't know what the main differences were between the two.
THX

I have both cables (although on separate TVs) and they will both give you an excellent image.
As the other poster says, component is better, at least via the specs, but your own television and eyesight may make the difference hard to see. In some cases I actually prefer the composite input, as it tends to be more "movielike" (less video looking). It also depends on what else you have hooked to that set -- if you have a certain input free I wouldn't hesitate to choose either one for it, but if you have multiple inputs available you'd probably be better off going component.

Composite vs Component

I am debating on buying either the Composite or Component AV cable for my iPhone to play movies on friends TVs.
I want to buy the one that is gonna work on the bulk of TVs out there. The trend seems like most even new TVs will have RCA inputs but I know lots of old TVs wont have component.
So based on the idea of which one I am going to be able to use on most TVs, which one should I go with? As much as quality is nice with the component, if you can't plug the cable into the TV, quality is a waste since you cant watch anything.
Thoughts? Thanks!

? on hi8 - composite or component

I find myself having to transfer a old hi8 tape.
I'll be using SVIDEO out of the deck into my editing system.
Trying to decide if I need SVIDEO to composite cable or SVIDEO to component cable.
Problem is I don't have a svideo in on my system.
I can do composite or component in (with rca cables)
Since I'm coming SVIDEO out with hi8 - do I really get any more quality going with component (3 rca cables) rather than just staying with composite (2 rca cables)?

All versions of Premiere (Pro and Elements) work with Firewire, so you need an external device to accept your deck's output and convert to digital to then connect to your computer via Firewire

URGENT: How to build composite custom component with a valuechangelistener?

Hi there!
I already posted regarding this issue before but unfortunately there wasn't any answer. But I don't think what I am trying to achieve is something unusual.
I am trying to build a composite custom component, that consists of some UISelectOne components and some UIInputText fields. Now I need to fill the combo boxes depending on the selected values of the other boxes. Therefore I added a value change listener. But when it fires I get an index out of bounds exception on the page.
The problem seems to be that the child components are being added twice to the component: Once in the constructor (which I am doing and which is called everytime the component is built) and once as part of the Restore View Phase (which JSF is doing).
So my question is: How and where do I correctly initialize my component's children?
A full code example can be found under http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=586301&tstart=150
Thanks a lot in advance!

#2 sounds utterly strange to me. How would I utilize the phase id?The code below shows my idea whereas I never validate it in any real projects:
public class MyPhaseListener implements PhaseListener {
     private static final String IDKEY = "PHASEID";
     public static PhaseId getCurrentPhaseId() {
          return (PhaseId) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().get(IDKEY);
     public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event) {
event.getFacesContext().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put(IDKEY,event.getPhaseId());
     public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
          return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
}You can write your constructor like as:
if (MyPhaseListener.getCurrentPhaseId().equals(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE ) {
     /* create children because this is the first time to create the component */
}

Can't reference methods in a Bean from a Composite JSF Component.

I have the following composite component TestCC.xhtml:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite" xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
<cc:interface>
<cc:attribute name="manager" method-signature="java.lang.String helloTest()" required="true"/>
</cc:interface>
<cc:implementation>
Hello #{cc.attrs.manager} !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
</cc:implementation>
</html>
When I try to call it in a JSFF file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<ui:composition xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:icc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/IchipComponent">
<icc:TestCC manager="#{viewScope.PatientClinicalBean.helloTest}"/>
The page crashes at my composite tag with the following message in the console:
javax.el.ELException: //C:/Documents and Settings/tlam/Application Data/JDeveloper/system11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1/o.j2ee/drs/iCHIP/ViewControllerWebApp.war/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/resources/IchipComponent/TestCC.xhtml: javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: //C:/Documents and Settings/tlam/Application Data/JDeveloper/system11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1/o.j2ee/drs/iCHIP/ViewControllerWebApp.war/Patient/Profile/Clinical.jsff @13,86 manager="#{viewScope.PatientClinicalBean.helloTest}": The class 'patient.profile.PatientClinicalBean' does not have the property 'helloTest'.
But my managed bean does have a public String helloTest() method, as well as other methods that work fine elsewhere in my JSFF page:
public class PatientClinicalBean{
String test = "TESTING";
public String helloTest() {
return test;
I have tried this many times with different methods, all with the same result. Yet if my composite component outputs just a string and I enter the expression <icc:TestCC manager="#{viewScope.PatientClinicalBean.test}"/> to access the String test field directly it executes properly. I can't seem to reference any of the methods in PatientClinicalBean from only my composite component, when other method calls work fine in the same JSFF page. All other examples I've seen on the web have no problems doing this the same way I have, am I missing something?!

What if you change the method in the class like this?
public String getHelloTest() {
return test;
}If you attempt to read a property call abc from a bean, you need to have a method called getAbc(). If you attempt to set a property called abc, you need to have a method called setAbc(...). This is JavaBeans convention.

The editable rectangles of my still photos in the composition panel suddenly stopped showing up.

Hi There, Adobe Community!
I am relatively new to After Effects CC and am using it to create a stop motion film with a large amount of photos.
Usually, when importing the individual images into my composition panel, a sequence of editable rectangles appears in the compostition panel allowing me to edit the frame length of the still photos.
After around 950 imported images, the little rectangles suddenly stopped showing up. But when looking at a preview of the project, it's as if the photos are in there, in the sequence they should be. I'm just unable to edit them like the previous ones with recangles showing.
I probably am not describing this too well, so here is a screen shot which hopefully makes my problem somewhat more clear. The area of issue is where you see the descending sequence of boxes in the comp panel. The red tracking bar is there to show that there are still photos continuing the sequence, I just can't see the boxes for em..
thank you so much for any help in the matter!

So I guess you are talking about the layers in the timeline go missing, not the handles in the Comp Window.
I think you have run into a display bug. Try selecting the top hundred or so layers and pre-compose them. If the missing layers appear then that's the problem. I have had it happen a couple of times before in previous versions of AE..
Here's a workflow hint for you, break your comps up into short sequences instead of trying to do a 4 or 5 minute piece with 900 layers in a single comp. You'll find editing and changing a lot easier.
I would also pre-mix your music. AE is a really terrible music mixer....

HT3771 How do you print multiple shots in one photo i.e. composite ??

I remember seeing a notation that you can print multiple photos on 1 sheet. Normally called Composite. I saw it on Apple help as n-up (3-up) etc. Can't find the page. Would appreciate any

You can do this in iPhoto.

What av cable is the best : composite or component

Hi is there a difference between the image quality when I used component av cable (MB128LL/A) or composite av cable (MB129LL/A) with my ipod classic and my plasma flat screen tv (Panasonic 50")?
Do you know some alternative product (the Apple one are a bit expensive)?
Thanks!

First off, the Apple products are the only ones that have the Video-ID chip in them, so they're the ONLY ones that work with the 6th Gen Classics.
Secondly, component cable is always better, especially since it can show your iPod videos in LOW-res HD.

AV Cables Composite or Component?

What's the difference? How do I know which I want / need to connect my Nano to a TV?

Welcome to the discussions, ejmoment.
The difference is really going to be what kind of television you have. If you have a newer TV with Component connections (red green blue, then red and white), then get the component cable. If you don't, then your only other option is the Composite cable (yellow red and white).

Viewing videos, photos etc on Tv using component AV

When I connect my iPad to my TV using a (5 pin) Component cable, I can get audio but no pictures. Help

What are you trying to view via the component output? If I recall, the component output does not mirror the iPads' screen. It only works natively with Keynote and a few other Apple apps. However, there are some Browser apps that display a browser and there are some apps (I think Goodreader is on) that project all their files.

Adding a Web Dynpro Model on a Composite Apllication Component in CE 7.1

Hi experts,
I am trying to add a web dynpro model to a Composite Application DC.
I am using SAP NW CE 7.1.
In CE 7.0, this was done by simple right click on the CA DC.
but i am not able to do it in CE 7.1.
Can somebody tell me how do i add a web dynpro model to a composite application DC???
basically i need to add a UI corresponding to a composite application?????
Cheers
Gaurav Raghav

Hi Srinivasan Subbiah,
The option you just mentioned is disabled.
how can i enable it???
Also let me explain what i need.
I have a 3 step process where in a user fills a form and sends it to his manager, who appoves/reject it based on some criterias. then the approval/rejection alert is send back to the user.
Now i need to develop the UI as well as Business Logic for this process.
How do i go about it?????
I can develop the UI in a Web Dynpro DC and the Business Logic in a Composite Application DC. How do i associte one with the other????
In CE 7.0, this was achieved by addind a Web Dynpro Model in the Composite Application Project. How do i acheive the same in CE 7.1 ?????
Thanks and cheers

Using the Composite/Component AV cable for slideshows

iPad 32G WiFi
Hi,
I plan to use the Composite or Component AV cable for slideshows in the Photo app. There is a setting (TV Out) for Videos in Settings, I will set it to PAL when I run the slideshows in Asia later this week.
Question: Once set, will this setting under Videos apply to the Photo app for slideshows as well, or this setting is only good for videos?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! /Kenny

No problem
enjoy your magic machine

O.T. Are You Interested In Photo Masking/Compositing Software For Windows ?

'Recomposit is a photo masking and compositing tool which precisely isolates image object from its background and merges it with others. The advanced masking methods: Bluescreen also called chroma key technology and inside/Outside edge will keep any details, hair, edge, shadow and transparency after they are recomposed. Recomposit also provides full environment to further compositing work without any support from other softwares.'

Hmmmm -- I'm not sure why the sofware company would be censored, but I can certainly see why the cu combination might (as it could be netspeak for other things).
I actually did check out about four other Windows type conversion software for Apple TV and none of them was as fast and/or offered batch conversion. I know you're a Mac guy so I assume you advise people not to buy this because of hearsay, but that could still be valid depending on the source (however, if I'm wrong and you have personal experience with it forgive me).
I've been working in the video industry for 3 decades so I do have a little experience with judging video quality (although none of my work involved the newer codecs -- I retired long before H264 came along). Based on my comparison with what I did for broadcast the software does a good job but perhaps it's smoke and mirrors. I can only attest to the results and not to any other controversy surrounding it.
To me the batch conversion is the key -- if there is other software that can convert multiple files (into discreet files) then I'd be willing to check it out.
