Problems with Sony Projector

When I connect to a Sony Projector with the adapter DVI-VGA I can only see a small part of the screen
Any Ideas?

Likely the Sony projector has much lower resolution than the MBP's screen so I would expect the Sony to show less than the whole MBP screen. Drop the resolution on the MBP to 1024x768 and then hopefully the Sony can match that.

Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

Problems with Sony NX3 AND Sony Z5 avi files

Very, very strange problem. I will try to give as much detail as possible so bear with me.
I currently edit with two different computers. One uses Premier 3 the other uses Premiere 6. I shoot with several different cameras, but for purposes of this discussion I will talk only about the Sony Z5 and the Sony NX3. I capture my footage on a CF card (Z5) or SD card (NX3)
All HD footage shoot with the Z5 and/or the NX 3 works fine on either system. However any SD footage that is over a certain length will not import into premiere 6 (if it's from the Z5) or the length of the footage will only be 2:37 (on footage from the NX3). However the SD footage from either camera will play perfectly on the system with Premiere 3.
Any ideas on what my problem with premiere 6 is?

I caputured footage from my ZU1 yesterday that encountered time code breaks. They should not have been there. My only thought is that the breaks occured when I shut the camera down and started recording later.
Maybe... I assumed it was user error... I was wondering if perhaps a setting in the camera was causing the breaks when the camera powers down.

Battery Problem with Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

I have a very uncomfortable problem with my Z1C. Each time I use apps too long time (5 minutes), my telephone is off because of poor battery. I don't know if the problem comes from the battery or from the new version of Lollipop. By the way, I have allready reinitialised my telephone and uninstall all my games but nothing has changed. For exemple, if I launch a video on you tube or if I use the screen mirror with mty TV, the telephone is switch off quickly and if I charge it, the battery comes back to 100% very quick ! This problem is very important since I use the last version of Lollipop. It's very uncomfortable and I am seriously thinking of changing of telephone if I can't solve this problem soon...

I'd suggest that you do a PC Companion phone repair, this will do a clean installation of the latest firmware and will also wipe your internal memory.
Open PC companion -> Support zone -> Phone/tablet software update -> Repair my phone/tablet (blue link style). Follow the steps given, do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS420 problem with Sony Blu-ray players

I have a Sony FD Trinitron KV-30HS420 television, which has worked very well over the last 11 years or so. I've owned a Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray player for a few years, and it has worked very well with my TV. I believe I updated the firmware on the blu-ray player a month or two ago, to the M07.R.0631 version from December 2014. When I plugged a USB flash drive into the player - one I've used several times before successfully - the screen went black. The only difference I can think of is that I created folders on the USB flash drive, and put the mp4s into the folders. I think I may have had a similar problem with the blu-ray player a year or two ago when I also used folders on the USB drive, but I was able to fix the problem by unplugging the player and rebooting. That did not resolve this issue. Now, if I try to turn on my player, which is hooked to my TV via HDMI, the "Sony Blu-ray" symbol appears as usual, then the thin blue line that stretches partially accross the screen horizontally, but at the stage where the screen will usually flicker and the blue line will expand to fill the whole length of the 16:9 screen, the screen instead turns black. It appears the player is still functioning (as I'll explain below), but the TV is no longer able to process the signal. I spent several hours with Sony tech support going through everything - checking the connections, swapping HDMI cables, lowering the resolution on the player, and changing other player settings, but I still have the same problem. If I hook the player up to a newer Vizio HD television, everything works fine - which is why the player seems to be functioning ok. If I hook my HD DVR to my television, it continues to work fine as well - so I don't think it's a problem with my HDMI connection on my TV. It appears to be a communication issue between the blu-ray player and the TV. I have been meaning to buy a second blu-ray player anyway, so I purchased a Sony BDP-S5500, thinking that might resolve the issue. But the exact same thing happens when I plug it into my Sony TV. That blu-ray player also works fine with the newer Vizio TV.
I spent several additional hours with Sony support making sure there wasn't an issue with the new Blu-ray player. This included about an hour of hold time, and being forwarded to over 4 different support staff, including an "escalated" forward to a "Level 5" support staff. I had to repeat the issue several times to the staff, including Yeng (Employee #C8WZ), Charlie (Employee #C75Y), and Mel (Employee #C822). The first staff I spoke with - Eric - told me he'd call back the next day after checking compatibility issues. Neither he, nor any other Sony staff, called back after 2 days, so I called support again - they had no record of my conversation with Eric, and I had to start the whole process over again. The Sony phone support so far has been very disappointing, to say the least. Any help would be appreciated. I'm guessing that by plugging in the USB with the folder structure, it somehow triggered a setting on the older BDP-S780 blu-ray player to use an updated setting - a setting that is common with the software on the newer blu-ray player. Has anyone else had a similar issue with one of the FD Trinitron WEGA tvs? Thanks for your help.

Your older TV is not capable of displaying either 1080P or any progressive program at tthat. On a standard definition (SD) non-progressive CRT like yours, blu-ray is a complete waste. Even if it could accept the signal, it wouldn't look any better.

Problems with recognizing projector.

Hi all, I'm a spanish teacher at my local highschool and I have a projector that is availible to the students to use for powerpoint presentations and the such, but recently I upgraded from my older mac laptop, to a new mac-pro powerbook. the projector no longer recognizes the computer and vice versa, anyone have any similar experiences/fixes/help that they could offer me?
if so that would be wonderful.
thanks in advance,
Terri Salsman de Rodriegex

there is definitely a problem connecting to projectors. I have a 50% success rate when going into meetings with a foreign projector. Compared to my Powerbook which was much higher (100%). Not sure what the issue is... and yes, i've tried F7 (mirror) and changing the resolution, and other "sys pref" settings. even tried rebooting (if this had worked i would still say that it's broken, shouldn't have to reboot my machine to connect to a projector).
at this point it doesn't work most of the time, not sure where the prob is (video card, adapter, etc.) but there is def a problem.

MDP to HDMI display problem with Sony Bravia

Hi,
I've tried without success to connect my 2010 MBP to my Sony Bravia KDL-40W2000 using a Griffin Video Display Converter and an HDMI cable.
The TV isn't displaying a picture and no audio is transmitted either.
When the Griffin adapter is connected, I see an additional Display preference window (titled 'SONY TV'), but whichever options I choose in that window, I can't get anything to come up on the TV. I've tried all the resolutions possible and have experimented with turning mirroring on and off. Every combination ends up with the same result: the display is fine on the MBP but nothing appears on the TV.
I've looked through the TV's menus but there seem to be only a few relevant settings to tweak, and tweaking them hasn't helped. Sony's support team told me that their TVs aren't designed to accept HDMI input from computers(!), which just doesn't seem right given that others have had no problems in connecting up their kit to Sony TVs.
I know the HDMI cable is fine as it works when connected to the TV via another device.
I'd guess that the Griffin adapter is faulty, although if this were the case I wouldn't have expected the extra Display preference window to have appeared.
Is anyone able to diagnose the problem before I try to get the Griffin adapter replaced?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Did you fix your problem? I have an uncannily similar problem. I bought my MBP in December '09, and recently bought a Neet mini HDMI adaptor (http://www.amazon.co.uk/DisplayPort-AUDIO-v1-3b-adapter-cable/dp/B002SKJKE2/ref= sr126?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1282087795&sr=8-26) and HDMI cable. But I can get nothing at all through to the Sony TV through it. My Sony TV is KDL-40s3000. I went into the Preferences - Display and it didnt detect the Sony there, and in the Sony menu, under Settings - Set-Up - HDMI Set-Up, it never detects any device either. Under the channel on the Sony I chose for this, it does say "out of range". Perhaps that has something to do with it. Any solutions you found, please let me know!

MacBook external display problem with Panasonic projector

MacBook (September 2006, Intel 945) with Boot Camp and XP Pro won't display externally from Boot Camp to a Panasonic PT-DW5000U projector using VGA (via the MiniDVI-to-VGA adapter/dongle). I tried 640x480x8-bit and 800x600x16-bit and 1024x768x16-bit. I tried unplugging and replugging the adapter. I tried shutting down and restarting into Win XP while all video cabling was connected. I tried pressing F7, Fn+F7, Shift+F7, FnShiftF7, as well as other key combinations involving F7. I tried checking the checkbox called "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor." I installed Apple Software Update 2.1. None of these troubleshooting attempts worked. It works fine in OS X to the same projector (using the same VGA dongle). And, while Win XP starts in Boot Camp, the projector displays the Windows XP startup screen (black background and blue progress indicator), but after about a minute that disappears, I get a login dialog on the laptop screen, and the projector then displays only a blank blue screen.
Other displays: It works fine with Boot Camp to a Samsung SyncMaster 940T monitor using DVI (via the MiniDVI-to-DVI adapter/dongle). It works fine with Boot Camp to a Panasonic LC50 monitor using VGA (via the MiniDVI-to-VGA adapter/dongle).
We also have Panasonic PT-D5500 projectors, but I haven't tried them yet.
1. Is this a problem in the Intel drivers supplied with Boot Camp?
2. Are there settings on the projector that need to be set to make it work?
3. I'm also now missing the Intel system tray icon that looks like a slanted computer screen -- how do I get it back?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Based on the substantial research I've done regarding this issue, here's what the problem could be (without me knowing more):
If your working with an integrated graphics card (Intel 945?), chances are that it doesn't support the "resolution" of the projector - which is information embedded in to your other devices. Furthermore, the "refresh rate" is another piece of information usually "embedded" in to the device your connecting to, and the projector may not have either piece of information accessible to your card, or, vice versa.
Additionally, the drivers required by XP to make it all happen while using your particular video card, may not be installed. Basically, it could be a driver issue as well.
I wish I had a solution for you, however, everything I've read seems to conclude that XP within boot camp has little or no support for external displays (especially when talking about larger resolutions).
Humorously, when I addressed the "Mac Genius" at the Apple Store regarding this question, he told me to go buy a PC - so I did. Already have a Mac Pro, needed a laptop...

Aperture 3 problem with Sony NEX-5n raw files

Hi all,
I have a Sony Alpha NEX-5n camera and my brother advised to take the pictures in raw format in order to keep all the information the sensors gathered when making the picture. The problem I have is that the software Sony provides with the camera does not allow me to convert the raw files into other formats. I downloaded Aperture trial because my camera was listed in Apple webpage as one of the models that can use raw files with Aperture. My problem is that every time I try to import the raw files, Aperture tell me that it doesn't support the format, and I cannot open the photos in raw and therefore I cannot work with them. I can work with the JPEG, but that is not what I want.
I wanted to buy Aperture, but there is no point for me to do that if I cannot work with the raw files. Maybe it is the trial version, but then Apple would be posting the wrong information in the webpage and therefore should remove my camera from the list (it doesn't say anything about apgrades or updates).
Does anyone else have the same problem? Can anyone confirm that once I buy it, Aperture works with the raw files even if I have to update it?
Thank you very much. I am a Apple fan, but if it doesn't work, I will buy Lightroom or Corel even if they are more expensive.
Savarena

Hello Savarena,
Try to install the RAW compatibility update: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9
- if is possible to do that with the Trial Version. This update supports your camera.

Problem with Sony NEX-5 camera raw images in Aperture 3.

Aperture 3 cannot says the RAW files from my Sony Alpha NEX-5 camera are an "unsupported image format". Aperture 3 is a full new copy (not an upgrade) purchased 10 days. My mac is an iMac 3.08 GHz Intel 2 Core, running 10.5.8, and with 4GB of 800 MHz RAM. All software upgrades have been performed.
Aperture 3 says RAW files from my camera are supported. I downloaded directly from the camera by USP in the correct USP setting in the camera , i.e. 'mass storage mode'. Preview can see the .arw files but iPhoto and AP3 cannot. I've read that a possible fix is to down load via a Firewire 800 card reader. I'd rather avoid that as they cost about AU$170 - which is quite an impost when AP3 just cost me AU$249.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Karl McC

Thank you e2photo.
Yesterday I found a similar post about the same issue with a new Canon camera. They fixed the problem by copying the files from the camera to a folder on the computer. Then they loaded the files into AP3 from the folder. Great news; it worked!!
Thank you for your thoughts on iMovie as I had not tried to download movie content yet. You prompted me to do a little trial. No problem. iMovie 08 read the ACVHD movie and it looks great.
Kind regards,

Audio sync problem with sony video walkman input

i purchased a sony video walkman to ingest mini dv into fce1, using a 1ghz g4 imac with os 10.3.9. 256mb of ram. i made the purchase to overcome the same sync problem i had when ingesting long clips directly from a canon xl-1.
i'm connected with firewire. audio is 16 bit (shot on an xl-1) and i've checked and rechecked the preferences and other relevant settings.
i'm buffaloed at this point: how can i capture longer clips without a loss of sync?
could the problem still be related to having shot the material on an xl-1? could it be related to only having 256mb of ram?
imac g4 1ghz 256mb Mac OS X (10.3.9)

yes, i have...i've also deleted fce preferences files as well. i'm wondering if reinstalling the program will help this situation?

Problems with Sony XDCAM PHU-60 hard disk unit

Hello,
I have footage that was shot using an EX3 and recorded to the PHU-60 hard disk unit. I've been using this since September with no problems. Today when I went to transfer the footage to my computer the PHU-60 is not mounting. I connected it back to my camera and the footage is there. I tried connecting the camera to the computer and it still won't mount. I really need to get this footage from the PHU-60 onto my computer. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had problems like this with the PHU-60?

Problem with external projectors

Hello
I'm a teacher using a Macbook pro late 2011 with newly installed Mavericks. Since the update all projectors in my school show a very weak picture of my documents. Signs in word, Power Point, Pdfs are not legible anymore. I tried all kinds of changes in monitors, but with no success.
Has anyone any suggestions?
The problem is consistent. It's the same if I use a new projector or an old one (we have different in different classrooms).

Addendum:
This problem shows only with my Macbook Pro Late 2011. Desperate I have just bought a 2013 Macbook Pro and with this machine the projection works perfectly. Both computers have OSX Mavericks (the older Macbook Pro with a clean install).
Any ideas anybody?

Problem with multimedia projector

We have intermittent problems connecting with a Sanyo multimedia projector. I have tried switching mini-vga converter and it does not solve the problem. Does anyone know if this is a known compatability issue with ibooks and multimedia projection?

If the issues are related to 'supported' iBook resolutions verses those
the projector is supposed to run on, one of the means toward making
them work has included using a software utility named [ SwitchRes X ].
There may be some other issue behind problems you encounter in the
use of a projector and an iBook or other portable. Some projectors may
support a different video signal than the iBook can use. (I don't know.)

HP Pavilion dv9218tx Notebook PC and HDMI audio problem with Sony TV and Windows 7

Sound does not come through with the HDMI connection and, on investigation, there is no HDMI audio driver/option.
Noting that there seemed to be an issue with windows 7 and HDMI audio which is addressed by updating the BIOS and the connexant sound driver I have done so to no effect.
The Sony TV is recognised as a standard monitor in the devices for graphics but not for audio
Suggestions as to why HDMI does not appear - including as a disabled service - and what to do t get is available?
