Question About Multimedia Station

delete...

If you watch the battery indicator on the Droid when it's plugged in you'll notice that, when it's charging, there's a little plug symbol. When it's done charging, that symbol goes away because the phone is not longer charging. Leaving it on the dock won't hurt it. My previous phone, the BB Storm had a similar dock and I always left it charging overnight because I used it as my alarm clock and so that it would be charged and ready to go in the morning. After a year of use, the battery shows little sign of degradation. I leave my Droid in the dock at night for the same reasons. It's precisely how it was designed to be used.
Best of luck.

  • Question about docking station's waterproof

    There is an important question: if during charging Xperia Z2 in the docking station (with closed plugs) I accidentally pour water on it, which consequences will it have?
    Solved!

    The point is that electricity and water don't mix. Getting the handset wet while on charge is dangerous, the water could touch the live output and at the very least blow a fuse...worst cast, fire or electrocution. It's just a big no!

  • Question about Think Station D30 and adding SSDs

    Hello. I am thinking about purchasing a Think Station D30. In my current workstation, I have two SSDs that I would like to continue using. Is it possible to add these SSDs to the D30. If so, would they be easy to install or would have a lot of configuration changes to make? Would I have to get an adapter for them?
    Thank you for the information.
    Solved!

    I really appreciate the information. It has helped me out and I will be getting that D30 now.

  • Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

    My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
    1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
    2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
    I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
    Thanks

    1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
    2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
    I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
    With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

  • Two Questions about Airport Express

    All, I am a recent convert to using a Mac so bear with me.
    I have two questions about the Airport Express.
    Question if I buy one in the USA, I will visiting this week on holiday,can I use it the UK with a UK adaptor/apple plug?
    Can the Express be used with my current wireless network, using a Netgear DG834G V4, I have read lots in the forums about putting a $ sign in front of the WPA password?
    Any help and advice gratefully received.

    Hello andixbox. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Question if I buy one in the USA, I will visiting this week on holiday,can I use it the UK with a UK adaptor/apple plug?
    Yes, but at least two things to consider:
    o The US version of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) only supports radio channels 1-11 in the 802.11g radio mode. Channels 12-14, used in other countries outside the US will not be available.
    o The AXn supports both the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands for 802.11n. The 5 GHz band is restricted in certain countries (like the UK) so operating in this mode may get you unwanted attention.
    That should be okay then because the Netgear broadcasts on channels 1-11. I hadn't appreciated the 5 Ghz band, but having checked both US and UK Apple sites the techspecs both mention 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.
    Can the Express be used with my current wireless network, using a Netgear DG834G V4, I have read lots in the forums about putting a $ sign in front of the WPA password?
    If your intent is to have the AXn join the Netgear as a wireless client, then yes it should work. The "$" requirement was for WEP. This shouldn't be necessary for WPA or WPA2.
    I intended to use the AXn as an range extender, but you mention wireless client, is that something different?

  • Question about the "iPod radio remote"

    I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
    Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
    And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
    What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
    What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
    And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
    Someone that has one can perhaps answer
    Cheers
    Ray

    I can at least answer some of the questions.
    The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
    UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
    to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
    displayed on almost all radio stations such as
    Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
    Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
    it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
    "USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
    the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
    then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
    is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
    There are three settings for the radio which you
    choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
    setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
    be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
    here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
    No, there is no AM radio.
    You can plug headphones into the remote or the
    headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
    I'm not sure I understand your question about the
    bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
    via the dock connector.
    There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
    one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
    cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
    radio/remote is connected as they use the same
    connector.
    Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
    Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
    will of course depend on where you use it. I've
    used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
    dropping to mono.
    Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
    nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
    (after you do this a radio function appears in the
    menu), and some users have found that doing this
    screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
    nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
    There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
    mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
    course there will be those who disagree.
    iPod
    Radio/Remote Review.
    Thank you for the reply.
    Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
    Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
    Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto
    Cheers

  • Few questions about "city explorer"

    - I noticed it can tell me where the metro is, but could nokia maps + city explorer tell me what line should i take in the metro and which station i should go out?
    - Does it all require data transfering while i'm walking, or can i donwload it all before, where i have wifi? (like nokia map-loader)
    - same question about the guides...
    Thank's!

    You can find most of the answers here - or to links to the answers -
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexplXI32/en/exp_acc_admin_en.pdf
    I haven't used the Explorer accelerated for a long time, but as far as I remember in rsddstat i think you can identify the explorer usage from the user id, but not sure - try and see.
    You can also run all your BIA indexes at the same time if you want to, the algorithm takes care of the table locks and switch to other index
    Querysnap shot index is a SNAPSHOT of the data at the time of the index - it will never change unless you re-run the query and index it. Regular BWA indexes gets updated when you load data to underlying cubes and run BWA rollups/change runs. The querysnap shot data will not change. I like them if my query output miliions of lines - such as ZCUSTOMER. With query snapshot, you can put all of them to explorer for customer segmentation etc purposes

  • A question about opening ports

    I have a question about opening ports with the airport. I need to open up ports UDP 88 & 3074 and port TCP 3074. I am wondering if I should open these ports for the specific IP address on my network that will be using them or if I should open the ports on the gateway IP (10.0.1.1) not sure which is the right route to take. Any help would be appreciated.
    These are for running an xbox over xbox live.

    Typically, you will want to open these ports for the device on your local network that needs to be accessed from the Internet. In this case, it would be your Xbox 360.
    Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live.
    The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live. Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox 360 with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live game that you want to play. As such, Port mapping may be required to allow Xbox Live access.
    The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
    • UDP 88
    • UDP 3074
    • TCP 3074
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    o Public TCP Port(s): 3074
    o Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    o Private TCP Port(s): 3074
    o Click "Continue"

  • Question about closed captioning

    Hello all,
    I have a quick question about closed captioning. I've output broadcast shows to Mini-DV which has been transferred to BETA SP with no problems. Another station requires the BETA tapes with closed captioning on them. The company doing the captioning has requested that the tapes be originals that have never been dubbed to BETA. Does it make a difference? Or can the same DV tapes I supplied the first station still be used?
    Thanks in advance...

    Thrillcat's got it.
    You might want to ask for a captioned DV (more likely DVCam) dub as well, so you can have the CC on any dubs you do. DV and variants store CC in a mysterious place called "VAUX data", and as long as the deck respects it (many mini-DV decks don't) the CC will be passed through FireWire. You can FireWire it back into FCP and it will stay with the program.
    If you're doing the above ask if the video itself is a digital DV clone. That may not be the normal case, as standard old-fashioned Line 21 is normally inserted in an analogish way.
    Oliver, your posts still don't make it clear if DV is the best format you can output. That should be the major factor in what you give them. If you are equipped to output to BetaSP, DVCPro50, etc. while avoiding a DV compression, your program will thank you.

  • Questions about CUDA

    Hi there.
    Just bought new station, with NVIDIA Quadro 4000 included, and I'm trying to get my head around this mess:)
    Can you please help me with those questions:
    1) Is Quadro 4000 fully supported by CS5?
    2) Should I download some special soft and plug ins to fell the kick it should provide?
    3) What about this RENDERING confusion, it's clearly said in hundreds of videos online that Rendering should be a lot faster (h264 and such). And it isn't. Also there is a MainConcept 5.1 codec - is it for real? From creators of it:
    "Main Concept 5.1 gives CUDA H.264/AVC Encoding support for NVIDIA GPU accelerated H.264/AVC encoding for selected presets"
    4) My playback isn't smooth at all:( I've got new station with 12Gb ram, RAID, i7 quadcore and Quadro 4000, edeiting standard h264 DSLR 1080p footage. I didn't even tryied famous 9 in 1 playing realtime, it's getting choppy with 2 already:/
    GPU acceleration is on, everything seems to work fine. I'm confused. Moreover, my friend got exactly the same PC station only with cheap regular Geforce, and actually i don't see any difference. Am I doing something wrong or was I just tricked by Nvidia superb marketing? And it brings me to:
    5) Most important: can You please advice us how to SETUP and use PREMIERE PRO, PHOTOSHOP, and such to take most of Quadro? Web is overrun with videos about how great and 10x faster it will be when you buy it;), but totally confusing when it comes to real advices.
    Thanks a lot Todd

    > 1) Is Quadro 4000 fully supported by CS5?
    Yes.
    > 3) What about this RENDERING confusion, it's clearly said in hundreds of
    videos online that Rendering should be a lot faster (h264 and such).
    And it isn't.
    Rendering is the creation of images. That's faster. Encoding/compression takes those images and converts them to a specific format. That's not accelerated by CUDA in Premiere Pro CS5.
    > Also there is a MainConcept 5.1 codec - is it for real? From creators of it:
    "Main Concept 5.1 gives CUDA H.264/AVC Encoding support for NVIDIA GPU accelerated H.264/AVC encoding for selected presets"
    Yes, MainConcept offers some additional software that uses CUDA to accelerate encoding/compression. That's separate from what Premeire Pro CS5 offers. If you have questions about that, then you should ask MainConcept.

    Have you installed the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) update? What operating system?
    The CUDA acceleration only accelerates some things. If you have bottlenecks elsewhere, then those will still slow you down. For example, if you aren't using multiple fast local hard disks (one for OS and applications, one for source media, one for output files) then you'll have poor performance.

  • Few questions about Airport Extreme/Express

    I have a few questions about Airport extreme/express:
    1 Can you access hard drive trough express?
    2 I have cable NOT wireless modem. What would be the best option (speed-wise) to connect to internet- connect modem to Extreme and access internet wirelessly from it? To connect modem to Extreme and imac?
    3 How fast is read/ write from hard drive connected to Extreme?
    4 How many hard drives can you connect to Extreme (or Express if that is possible)?
    5 Can you remotely sync Ipod nano/ shuffle using Extreme?
    I really hate wire clutter around my desk. What I intend to do is to connect hard drives and printer to Airport Extreme and access them remotely. That would leave empty desk:).
    Thanks

    1. You cannot connect a hard drive to the Airport Express USB port.
    2. The speed of wireless networking is faster than the speed of most cable internet services. Therefore, you won't notice any difference in your internet connection speed between (a) a cabled connection directly between Mac and modem or (b) a wireless connection between Mac and base station and modem.
    3. Apple has not published any specs on the speed of hard drive access for the Airport Extreme N Base Station. Several people have posted their own measurements (do a search in this discussion forum), and generally those results are not very good.
    4. Apple has not placed a limit on the number of drives you can attach to the Airport Extreme N Base Station (with use of a hub). How many do you want to connect?
    5. You cannot remotely sync an iPod using the Extreme Base Station.

  • Questions about using the Voice Memos app

    I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
    -Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
    -When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
    -In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

    You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app.  You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
    Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
    App quality is excellent.
