Producing for the US on large plasma screens in Motion 3

Hi all,
I am producing a set of motion graphics for a client in the US. It is the first time I have produced content for a US client and need to know what is the best settings to use.
Motion graphics will be played back on plasma TV's (up to 42") and a projection screen (92")
If anyone has any useful info that would be great ,
cheers

Providing a DVD means MPEG2. There are hundreds of Web sites dedicated to producing godd MPEG2 images.
If you provide a QT file, you can give them the finest uncompressed 64 float video possible but if they can't play it back it won't matter.
But giving them really good video will let them transcode or convert to any other viable format such as BluRay or some proprietary hardware format. They may have access to a playback engine that you do not.

Using java for the web at large

Hello,
i have built a interface for my client that requires the Java2 browser
plugin to work. Its not the front page or anything...but non the less
it is a page that my client payed good money for. My question is this..
due to the lack of support from MS in regardes to a current
java plugin for IE, did I as a devolper fail my client?
I feel somewhat guilty, I can code perl just fine ,And in
this situation perl whould have worked.
Thanks for the help,
jd

I'd have to agree with JElliot, generally the benefits of running web-enabled applications server-side outway the use of client-side applets. There are several factors to consider, but most notably...
* Code Security
It is not difficult to decompile Java bytecode back into something which closely resembles the original source. There are a host of decompilers out there, some even include deobfuscation algorithms to make short work of any obfuscation. If your client-side applets contain valuable intellectual property which is worth an investment in trying to reverse-engineer, which they probably do considering your comments, then you can pretty much kiss your market edge good bye.
Running apps server-side through something like a web interface are inherently more secure you are providing the applications services, but not the app itself (barring any attempts to hack your server or physically break in and steal its HD :)
* Ease of maintanence
Due to the centralised nature of a server-side app, installation and maintanence of your app is alot easier. (Im currently designing a web-based app that is going to service some pretty large engineering firms, the thought of attempting to install and upgrade every app on every computer within such firms is a little scary).
* Ease of access
If designed to support exsisting browser technology, there is no need for installation of propietry software. This is a big selling point for companies who really dont want to spend thousands of dollars and many hours installing software onto hundreds of machines. It also means that the software can be accessed over LANs, WAN, VPN, or the Internet. (Like roaming profiles, only it works). One client asked us about a particular peice of software "Is it web-based". When we answered yes the response was a definate "we'll take it".
Mind you there is a couple of downsides to server-side stuff, namely the complexity jumps up a few notches due to the need of multiple tiers within the app just to have some sort of abstraction and workability in it all. Your often limited in interfaces as well, but in most cases people just want something that works, not something neccessarily pretty. One of the hardest concepts I've found is the idea of application state. Bassicly with web-based stuff you don't have any, and youve got to build it yourself. You can often strike a middle line, with all sorts of business logic performed server side, and only rudimentry GUI stuff in applets.
I wouldn't feel too guilty about it all. Like all things, there is a learning curve, and just getting your head around this conceptual stuff is half the battle. Once you've worked that out, then the easy stuff is coding it. The most annoying thing is when you look back in six months time and kick yourself for not realising half the stuff you know then now.

Providing F4 help for the same field on selection screen

Hello Experts,
My requirement is :
There are 2 radio buttons and a parameter "p_file" on my selection scree.
1. rb_appl
2. rb_pres
If the radio button rb_appl = 'X', I need to place the logic of F4 help of application server for the field p_file. Else if the rb_pres = 'X', then I need to place the logic of F4 help of presentation server for the same field p_file.
I have written the code in the below manner
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad DEFAULT 'X',
                         rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
                         p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
      PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.
But I am getting the F4 help for only the radio button for which i have placed the default value in the parameters.
So please let me know how to define the F4 help for the same field based on the radio buttons.

Hi,
You can acheive the same by the addition of [USER-COMMAND fcode].
RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode] - The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields.
So you code should be altered as
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad
                     USER-COMMAND radclick    "Addition which you have to make.
                     DEFAULT 'X',
            rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
            p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.

Dynamic Data selection for the Filed entered in Selection Screen.

Hi All,
My requirement is as follows.
1 select options in Selection Screen for MATNR (SO_MATNR)
1 parameter field in Selection Screen for entering a MARC field name. (P_FIELD)
Now the Program has to display the values of this Field (Entered by the user as P_FIELD) from MARC table, where MATNR is in SO_MATNR.
I understand that this would require a dynamic select statemant but could not figure out the correct way.
Please help me with the code for this requirement
Regards,
Sunil

Not sure If I understand correct, but here's an example on what I think you are looking for. I don't have an ECC system here (we're on CRM), but you should adept it to your tables and fieldname.
TABLES: but000.
DATA: lt_feld TYPE TABLE OF name_feld,
lw_feld LIKE LINE OF lt_feld.
SELECT-OPTIONS: so_part FOR but000-partner.
PARAMETERS: field TYPE name_feld DEFAULT 'MC_NAME1'.
SELECT (field) FROM but000
INTO TABLE lt_feld
WHERE partner IN so_part.
LOOP AT lt_feld INTO lw_feld.
WRITE:/1 lw_feld.
ENDLOOP.

Data collection was switched from an AI Config task writing to an hsdl file to synchronized DAQmx tasks logging to TDMS files. Why are different readings produced for the same test?

A software application was developed to collect and process readings from capacitance sensors and a tachometer in a running spin rig. The sensors were connected to an Aerogate Model HP-04 H1 Band Preamp connected to an NI PXI-6115. The sensors were read using AI Config and AI Start VIs. The data was saved to a file using hsdlConfig and hsdlFileWriter VIs. In order to add the capability of collecting synchronized data from two Eddy Current Position sensors in addition to the existing sensors, which will be connected to a BNC-2144 connected to an NI PXI-4495, the AI and HSDL VIs were replaced with DAQmx VIs logging to TDMS. When running identical tests, the new file format (TDMS) produces reads that are higher and inconsistent with the readings from the older file format (HSDL).
The main VIs are SpinLab 2.4 and SpinLab 3.8 in folders "SpinLab old format" and "Spinlab 3.8" respectfully. SpinLab 3.8 requires the Sound and Vibration suite to run correctly, but it is used after the part that is causing the problem. The problem is occuring during data collection in the Logger segment of code or during processing in the Reader/Converter segment of code. I could send the readings from the identical tests if they would be helpful, but the data takes up approximately 500 MB.

First of all, how different is the data? You say that the reads are higher and inconsistent. How much higher? Is every point inconsistent, or is it just parts of your file? If it's just in parts of the file, does there seem to be a consistent pattern as to when the data is different?
Secondly, here are a couple things to try:
Currently, you are not calling DAQmx Stop Task outside of the loop; you're just calling DAQmx Clear Task. This means that if there were any errors that occured in the logging thread, you might not be getting them (as DAQmx Clear Task clears outstanding errors within the task). Add a DAQmx Stop Task before DAQmx Clear Task to make sure that you're not missing an error.
Try "Log and Read" mode. "Log and Read" is probably going to be fast enough for your application (as it's pretty fast), so you might just try it and see if you get any different result. All that you would need to do is change the enum to "Log and Read", then add a DAQmx Read in the loop (you can just use Raw format since you don't care about the output). I'd recommend that you read in even multiples of the sector size (normally 512) for optimal performance. For example, your rate is 1MHz, perhaps read in sizes of 122880 samples per channel (something like 1/8 of the buffer size rounded down to the nearest multiple of 4096). Note: This is a troubleshooting step to try and narrow down the problem.
Finally, how confident are you in the results from the previous HSDL test? Which readings make more sense? I look forward to hearing more detail about how the data is inconsistent (all data, how different, any patterns). As well, I'll be looking forward to hearing the result of test #2 above.
Thanks,

How to adjust mouse or trackpad parameters for the user selection screen?

This is not critical, but annoying. I can change the mouse or trackpad parameters by user, so anyone can use their own mouse or trackpad adjustment. However I can not locate how to change this parameters for the welcome or user selection screen. In my case I have two users, both of us use the trackpad with the one touch for click function, so no one press physically the trackpad for a click. However, as the default parameter is the touch function deactivated we have to actually click the trackpad in that exclusive screen.
Another example with mouse, normally we use the mouse with almost double of the default acceleration, but when in the user selection screen the mouse assumes default configuration and feels super SLOWWWWWWW.
Again, this is not critical, but would be very nice to be able to modify this parameters in the welcome screen.

For the login screen, you are not associated with a normal user, but the system defaults...try logging in to the Admn account and change the behavior there...those settings should then apply to the login screen.

Does apple recommend a screen protector for the iPad 4?

Does Apple recommend a screen protector for the iPad with a retina screen?

Apple's recommendations are usually hardware and software related. How to charge the battery, the benefits of backing up, transferring purchases, and things like that.
I have never seen Apple officially recommend any third party accessory and I doubt that they ever will do so. Using a screen protector is up to the individual. I have always used a screen protector of some type on all of my iDevices. I have somewhat oily skin and I would rather trash and have to clean a screen protector than have to keep up with cleaning the glass.
I have an iPad 3 and I have it encased in an OtterBox Defender case with a built in screen protector. My iPad 3 is in pristine condition - screen and back. My OtterBox Defender has taken quite a beating however, and I prefer that the case take the abuse and not the iPad!

Exporting FCP 16:9 to QT for the web in 16:9?

Hello everyone,
I recently began doing my projects in 16:9 mode. I shoot them with my GL2's in 16:9, then capture to FCP as usual. FCP then automatically recognizes the 16:9 footage and adjusts everything perfectly for me. I figured out how to get the footage to DVDSP by 'forcing letterbox'. This plays the true 16:9 footage on a widescreen TV perfectly.
Now, I've come to another bridge that I can't seem to cross... that is... exporting the video to QT for the web in 16:9. I did a lot of searching here and all of the topics related to this did not help me at all. So, what I'm going to do is explain what I used to do when I shot in 4:3 mode:
1. In FCP... File>Export>QT Conversion
2. Format: QT Movie> Options
3. Settings> Sorenson Video 3
4. Frame Rate>15
5. Key Frames: Every 150 frames
6. Compressor> Medium
7. Data Rate: Automatic
8. OK
9. Sound>Settings>Mpeg-4 Audio, 16bit, Stereo
10. OK
11. Prepare for Internet Streaming> Fast Start
12. OK
13. SAVE
This usually turns a full sized 5 minute clip into a nice little presentation for the web no larger than 35 or so MB's. You can see a boat load of files like that on my website at (www.buerhausdesign.com).
Now, what I want to do is get a similar sized video for the web, only in 16:9 as I'm now shooting and editing in 16:9.
Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this? I know it's possible as I see movie trailors in 16:9 all the time in QT.
Any help would be appreciated:)
Matt

Nope, tried all of that. It stretches the image way beyond 16:9. Currently, if I export as a 4:3 file, the widescreen displays correctly, but I get two black bars at the top and bottom of the frame. Manually sizing to a 16:9 size, to say 720x404, stretches everything... including the unwanted black bars.
When I export to DVDSP, the black bars go away when I 'force letterbox'. There's gotta be a way to get it to work in QT.

Scale a project for the web

Hi,
I've designed a greetings card that is 1022.23x1021px
I need to scale this because i want to make it a coming soon page for a future website
In which dimensions I need to scale the whole work (drawing/text) up/down to be seen on 4/3 and 16/9 monitors?
there are smartphone and tablets standard dimensions too I guess, do i need to create multiple artboards ?
As I explored Dreamweaver CS6 I noticed the dimensions are shown in the "design" view at the bottom for these devices, may be I could use them?
Thanks

Just in case a visual will help you, here's a quick tutorial about scaling for web:
1) Go to File > Save for Web
2) This will open a dialog with lots of options for saving.
The area marked as "A" is where you would choose the file type for your image, which, as John said, would be a .gif or a .jpg, or a .png if your document has transparency.
The section Marked "B" is where you can easily resize your document. Unless you click on the chainlink icon beside the dimension boxes, your image will automatically retain its proportions when you enter a new value for height or width. Also be sure to tick the "Clip to Artboard" option so you don't get any extra objects that may be lingering in your workspace.
I would also agree with John when he says to recompose in an artboard in the desired dimensions of your final image intended for web. And you're exactly right about the multiple artboards for different devices. In the screen shot below, I have an artboard in the dimensions of your original document (1022x1021) and one for the dimensions of an iPhone screen. This makes it really easy to modify compositions based on the sizes and proportions of different devices.
Here is a link about preparing graphics for multiple devices: http://codebycoffee.com/2010/12/08/preparing-graphics-for-multiple-mobile-platforms/
I hope this helps! If you need more web assistance, don't hesitate to post in the Dreamweaver forum!

HT1338 Since having my Macbook Pro attached to a large display screen, everything is too large for the screen. Is there a cure please?

Today I had my Mac linked to a projector screen, and since disconnection evrything from the desk top onwards has been too large for the screen. Before that evrything was perfect. I have tried zoom buttons etc, but nothing seems to work. Any help gratefully rceived.

So it's not the Zoom feature? Open System Preferences Universal Access pane Seeing tab. Make sure Zoom is turned OFF.
If it's not that, then you may have the resolution set so that it is not optimal for the built-in display. Open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab. The optimal resolution is usually the one at the top of the list of choices.

Xr2 v3-p remote where is the zoom button tv picture is to large for the screen

I have just gotten a replacement dvr box and subsequently I have a new remote. The picture is to large for the screen. My old remote had a zoom button. This xr2 v3-p remote does not. I searched the forums and older postes say to press xfinity and then find the gear. My remote doesn't do that either.

For your Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta brannded DVR, it sounds like the user settings may need to be adjusted.
To access the user settings, turn OFF your set-top box; it will remain in standby mode.
Press (Guide) on your remote while the set-top box is in standby mode. OR press Channel Up + Channel Down simultaneously on the front panel of the set-top box.
Scroll to TV TYPE and choose the appropriate setting for the TV: 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 PAN/SCAN or 16:9 widescreen
Scroll to HDMI/YPbPr OUTPUT and change it to either 480p std, 480i std, Pass Thru or 1080i
Scroll to 4:3 OVERRIDE and select 480p

TS1717 Everytime i open Itunes in windows 7 despite me specifying maximised it opens in window that is always too large for the screen. EVen windowing the frame and then remaximiseing puts the buttons outside the edge of the screen

Every time i open Itunes it starts in a window that is too large for the screen (despite me setting "start maximised" in the launch options). Then hitting the "maximise" button expands the window slightly pushing all the buttons and edge of the frame out of the screen and behind the taskbar at the bottom. I have to move the window to a place where i can resize it smaller than the screen then and only then does maximising the window fit it properly to the screen.

Okay, I just opened up Itunes this evening and it's not working again! Sheeshy Peetz!
HOWEVER, this time I followed some different steps and got it working.
(1) Uninstall Quicktime
(2) Uninstall Itunes
(3) Re-download Both
(4) Install Quicktime First! (Read #6 below first though)
(5) Install Itunes Next! (Read #6 below first though)
(6) Here is the CAVEAT for me: I have an SSD as my C:\Drive, which is where I originally installed both of them. So this time, I installed both Quicktime and Itunes to a Non-SSD drive, which was one of my SATA Drives.
(7) Start Itunes and Test your Movies now. For me I was able to play them finally. Who knows how long this will last lol.
Maybe this work for someone.
