Question about video surveillance design

Test question

You seem to be confused what all the different parts of Java do.
JRE - runtime environment, the minimum needed to run standard java applications
Java Standard Edition - the standard set of API's that form the base of most java applications. You need the J2SE SDK to compile these applications and the JRE to run them.
Now talking about "application design", I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about graphical user interfaces? In that case you would want to look into Swing, and that is indeed part of the standard edition API set.

  • Question about Video Cards on Laptops

     Hi everyone, and sorry if I post this in the wrong area. I own a few computers, some are consider ancient and others are somewhat old but can run Windows XP just fine. I have a question about the computers in the stores today.
    I am looking to invest in a new laptop, possibly a desktop in the near future depending on my budget. The question I have about video cards today is that, I enjoy a good MMO game now and then, I don't expect to play heavy intensive games, just maybe some more advance games. I notice that for one game that I want to play, it requires a video card to have (Shadow Rendering, Vertex and Pixle Shaders). Do the computers today have those as standard for thier video card? Or do I have to invest in a little bit more expensive laptop/desktop. I am willing to invest money for some more RAM, if I need to improve its preformance. The reason I ask is because I have a 4 year old Laptop with a broken keyboard, and I was thinking about just replacing the laptop with a newer one. it has some pretty good specs and runs everything fine, but it can not play certain games because of those missing video requirements. (Current laptop incase someone is curious: 1.5Ghz Celeron M, 1GB memory 64MB video (Shared) ) Thanks to anyone who has the answer to this question. (P.S sorry if everything is scrunched together. for some reason the formatting is wierd on Opera web browser

    Graphics cards have all those standard today... or at least they should unless you get a really cheap Graphics card. The kind of graphics card and processor and other specs of the computer you want to get should depend on what you want to do with it. It also depends on the kind of games you want to play. If you're playing FPS [first person shooter] then you need a really good graphics card and processor. If you're playing something like Diablo 2 or something that's on the lower end of graphics then you just need decent specs. Graphics cards, I suggest something with aGeForce Nividia card... as of today, they are in the 9 series for high-end cards I believe. For processors... get something like Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 or T9600 or the Core 2 Quatros or Extremes. Extremes are intended for hardcore gaming and would be more expensive. For RAM you should have at least 2GB... you can always upgrade that later.
    For laptops my suggestions are:
    $3k+ get a customized alienware
    $2-3 get a customized dell xps, or macbook pro [although if you're gaming i would suggest you dual boot with windows xp or vista]
    $1-2k get a cheaper customized dell, or sony vaio
    under $1k... well I don't know what to say... you can't really get a nice gaming computer for under that price.
    I personally DO NOT like HP computers at all because they are so quirky and have so many problems and break down easily.

  • Question about service layer design

    I have a question about the design/architecture of service model layers, specifically the task service layer.
    Could a task service be a small "action", ie an operation that doesn't require composition? So if I have a requirement to allow customers to update their personal info, like address, would I have a task service named ChangeCustomerMailingAddress, that in turn calls the update operation on the Customer entity? Or would it be better to call the entity service directly? Another example would be retrieving data, like RetrieveCustomerBillingHistory, would that be a separate task service, or just a get/read operation on the Customer entity service?
    Any insight is appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Questions about video studio

    Hi.  Not an Abobe question per se, but I'm going to be setting up a video studio / green screen room  and thought some Abode users might be able to point me to an appropriate place to ask some questions about how this should be built.  (Planning a 16' x 16', room, but could be up to 16' x 20' if necessary, standard 8' ceilings (no way around that).
    Would like to film a weekly show in the studio with anywhere from 1-3 people sitting at a greenscreen desk; would also use the room to record singing and piano.
    Will be processing with Adobe master Suite CS6 (and Sonar X2 for music in conjunction with Audition).
    I've done some greenscreen work with a consumer grade digital camcorder and hardboard painted green, Keying with After Effects and using Premiere as nonlinear editor.  But I'd like to set up something more professional now, while trying to keep the budget under control.  Perfectly fine with DIY softboxes and screens as long as they work well.
    Have questions about lighting, cameras, preferred room dimensions, and any othter factors I should consider when having this built (and needs to accomodate the recording of piano and vocals as well).
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks Steven.
    I've been worried about the 16' being a little too tight - so will go with the 20' (even bigger might be better, but that's the most I can really do).
    A few other questions:
    1) I thought I was going to be limited to 8' ceilings, but depending how things lay, it might not be a big deal to put in 9' ceilings.  Would that help significantly with the lighting or is it not a big deal.
    2) Should I have electrician install lighting on the ceiling to illuminate the greenscreen (back wall) from above or to shine down on the talent from above and behind for backlighting - or should I just do all the lighting with standing softbox lamps?
    3) I've read that sound in a rectangular studio can be a big problem.  One recommendation was to hang black curtains on tracks that could cover all areas not in the shot - this would reduce bouncing of light and spill over from greenscreen, while also minimizing standing waves / echo.  Any advice on this or other economical things to consider as room is being built? 
    4) I have a HV20 Canon consumer grade HDV camcorder - it has an HDMI port.  Anyone have experience with Blackmagic Intensity Pro - which should let you capture uncompressed raw video from the camera?
    5) Any one have advice on the Sony HVR-V1U MiniDV Camcorder  - can get used for under $1000 - would this be a giant step up and make green screening / keying much easier (using Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6) - or not worth the money?
    6) Any advice on what to do for microphpones during a show where 2-3 people are seated at a rectangular table facing one camera and talking?  Will also record some electric piano and vocals.
    Thanks for any suggestions (including advice about any other forums where I should post my questions)

  • Newbie question about video quality in CS3

    I'm new to Premiere CS3. I've been using iMovie but wanted to move up to an app with more features and finer grained tuning. However, I'm having trouble getting my imported clips to maintain their quality. Don't know if I've got PrCS3 set up incorrectly or if I don't know enough about video formats.
    I'm running Premiere v3.2.0 (374) on a MacBook Pro, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB memory, OSX 10.6.6
    Here's my scenario:
    I have a video clip with the following specs: .mov, 720 x 480, H.264, 30fps, bitrate 244 (see screen shot below). It was captured from my computer using Snapz Pro X.
    I imported the clip into PrCS3 and was surprised the clip preview and composite preview were displayed at less quality than the original (even made sure the quality mode was set to "highest"). The video clip was squeezed a bit and the clean edges of my vector art were jagged. The entire thing seemed out of focus.
    I thought the exported video might be better quality. I exported the sequence using the following settings:
    But the results were no better (I've actually gotten better results using iMovie HD). Below is the final exported movie.
    Any help from the PrCS3 community would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    capturing from your computer would give you square pixel aspect ratio....and you're using an aspect ratio for SD TV ( ntsc ), so it is stretching ....no longer a perfect "circle" in the paw print...
    Your project setting should be made in custom / desktop ( dont use a preset )...and set it for 720x480 square pixels progressive ( no interleaving ), 29.97 fps...  the codec choice for rendering when you set up the project could be dealt with later on if this solves your basic problem..
    your export would then be the same as your project setting....720x480, progressive, square pixels, 29.97 or 30 fps ...should be good.
    one note: h264 is already "compressed" quite a bit....its a "delivery" format...for viewing ...not really meant to be edited...know what I mean ?  So you will lose some quality due to that stuff already being compressed...
    but your pixel aspect ratio being "fixed" with the above should improve what you see quite a bit.
    good luck

  • Some question about the query designer

    hello, dear all,
    I am a new comer of here, and I am intersting in BI, but I have no basic knowledge about it.
    so I just want someone could give me some advice about it.
    our boss need I do the developer about the query designer,  I just have searched in this forum. but nothing founded for I am a new comer here,
    I heard there are some training document of the query designer, could someone give me the URL, thanks.

    Hi,
    Query desinger is used to develop a Query, Query can be created on following data targets
    -Info Cube
    -DSO
    Virtual data target
    -MultiCube
    -Infoset
    -Multiprovider
    We have 5 section in query designer
    - Infoprovider : where we select the data target , on which report to be created
    -Filter : to restrict value at infoprovider level ( if you want data for year 2008, for example)
    -Free Characterstic : this allow you to drill down
    -Columns : char/keyfigs to be display in columns can be added here
    Row: key/char to be display in Rows can be added here
    gv me ur mailid i will let u have Bex manual,
    I would suggest , if you have any IDES ( training ) system , where you can log in and then go to RRMX,
    and try to create new query and add any data target ( which is already created ) and then drag and drop the char/key fig to the required section ,
    save it and execute it .....
    if you play arround and see the output , that would help u to understand how to work with query designer.
    Hope this helps

  • Question about Video file si

    Hey, I just had a quick question. I just bought a Zen V Plus today and love it so far except for one thing... The video file size.
    I have a bunch of videos on my computer that I have saved of YouTube and had previously converted into regular .avi format, so I could watch them on my computer.
    So I have been looking for an economical alternati've to the iPod, so the V seemed like the right choice for me... But I used media explorer that came with it and encountered a pretty large problem.
    The file size for each of the TV shows that I had saved were fairly small saved on my computer, averaging about 66mb. So I tried to put them on my Zen, but the file was incompatible... Not a huge problem, or so I thought, but when the explorer converted it it nearly tripled in file size, some even going over 200mb. I don't see what's going on, is there any way to make the file sizes smaller? Because as of now, I can only fit about 3 episodes of my shows and a few songs on it, while my brother, who has an iRi'ver Clix, can fit 0- shows and a ton of music.
    Any help would be gladly appreciated.

    Unfortunatly the Zen V PLus was not really designed primarily as a video player, as such it just doesn't have the capabilities to handle compressed video.
    The video playing was designed as something extra that it can do, but doesn't seemed to have been designed for the video heavy user.
    I have tried many different formats but it doesn't appear that you can make the video any smaller, as the devices can't handle compressed video. (My daughter has a a Zen V Plus, I stick music videos on it for her and it works well for that.
    I have a Zen Vision M, as I like watching full length shows.)?If you are into watching videos I would recommend getting one of the players (such as the Zen Vision M) that is designed more around storing and displaying video.

  • IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

    Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
    1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
    2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
    3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
    4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
    Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
    Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
    Thanks.

    As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
    http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
    You can also present your songs like this...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
    A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
    iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

  • I have a question about flash website design and google indexing!

    first off i want to say I hate HTML (call it HTM HELL) I love Flash.Im a big propononent of flash.OK about a month ago I built a 100% flash site,told google to crawl it,then come to find out they cant see any text inside images.So I did what i didnt want to do,I took all my hard work down and had to work even harder and created a fully 100% HTM hell site.and just under 4 weeks later google still has my flash site in its cache.the question im trying to get at is if google cant read 100% flash sites whats the point in creating flash sites(mine's a business site.)I want to get into creating flash sites for other people too but if google cant read them how would a person be able to do a search for say what i do:pc repair in google & then my flash site would come up in googles search results.This is potentially costing me lots of money.I dont like "coding" HTML i want to design in flash.HEEEeeelllppp!

    Google can crawl Flash, though I'm not sure how well, but either way nothing can read text that is not text - ie an image. The workaround - and still relevant for all other search engines, is to put all your content inside the div tag that your Flash is written into. The alternate content that one would see if they didn't have Flash, or didn't have JavaScript enabled.
    There is a good tutorial on SEO with Flash on the SWFObject site: http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/03/13/modern-approach-flash-seo/
    You can also just Google 'Flash SEO' and get a good deal of info.

  • A question about Video Cards

    Is it possible to upgrade Ram on a video card (from 256MB to 512MB) or would you have to get a new one? Are the video cards set for so much RAM and can't be upgraded unless it has bad RAM that needs to be replaced? I was just wondering. I'm thinking about upgrading someday and just want to be sure I'm going to get the best results for what I need. Thanks for any info.

    No, your best bet is to take out your current video card and sell it. The vRAM on a GPU is hard-wired hence you can only replace the entire card. It's too bad that the technology industries don't consider the ability to upgrade their products when designing them ... think of how great this would be for our environment. It would also be cheaper for everyone: consumers and manufacturers. At least the graphics card isn't integral with your logic board!

  • A few newbie questions about video.

    I just bought a canon hf10 and am new to the video arena. I've got a macbook 2.16ghz with 4gigs. Imovie 09 and FCE 4.0.1.
    I want all my films to display a cinema like feel. Movie quality look if you will. I'll be doing small movies of vacations and intro videos for my church. Stuff like that.
    What's the best settings for the hf10 to record with? I've been using cine mode at 24p. really don't know what all that means.
    What is the best route for importing, ie.. settings for FCE?
    Same Question for exporting.
    And not to have to many questions in one topic this is the last. What's the best way to get a good fluid shot without all the shakiness that comes with a small hand held? I know imovie has a nice image stabilization feature that works well but it zooms way in on the video to stabilize it. Does FCE have this same function?

    It's worth remembering that:
    iMovie is a consumer product, designed to enable untrained enthusiasts to turn out nice-looking video easily and quickly. You can do some cool things really easily, but it can be hard work when you want to go against its automated functions.
    FCE is Final Cut Pro without most of the add-on applications, and without a small number of features. It's designed for pros on a budget, students and advanced amateurs. You have a far greater degree of control than in iMovie, but you have to know the product well to be able to exercise that control.
    A good analogy is between a fully automatic camera/camcorder (iMovie) and a fully manual one (FCE). In the first case, you can get good shots without having to spend time learning how to use the equipment. In the second, you must learn how to use it to get anything worthwhile from it.
    FCE doesn't include any of the big consumer-oriented features of iMovie: stabilisation, themes and so on. in FCE, you have to get what you want manually.
    Th best way to get stable images in your shots is to use a good tripod; failing that, some other kind of support. Even a not-so-good tripod will be better than nothing.
    One final point - if you have some unstable shots, you could get them into iMovie, stabilise them, then export the project as XML for full editing in FCE.

  • Question about Object Oriented Design in Oracle

    Hi everyone,
    Right now I'm updating my oracle skills, years ago without programming (last time with Oracle 7.3 :O)
    Well, if I have to design a new system with this features:
    1.- Using Oracle as DB
    2.- Web enable
    3.- OO Design
    My questions:
    1.- What is the best practice to make database design? E-R + Object Types? I mean is better making the design on Oracle directly or in Java-UML environment?
    2.- I was thinking in programming with Forms, but it works well with OO design?
    3.- If I want to program some web services based, Could I do it with PL/SQL and Jdeveloper?
    please if you know about articles and whitepapers about OO design approach with Oracle let me know!
    Thanks.

    I have been involved in some of these projects that have used Java, C#, VB, C++ etc. as front-end languagaes. I have been able to implement these projects successfully using the following approach:
    1. create a relational model of the database - third-normal form (assuming it is an OLTP application)
    2. Write PL/SQL code (packages and procedures mainly)
    3. Interact with the front-end layer by sending and receiving ref curosors and/or PL/SQL tables
    If you want to use Forms (I am assuming Oracle Forms) then there may not be much need for an OO design. Embeeding SQL in the forms will do most of what you want.

  • OK: simple question about video out

    My new mac mini should arrive today. I'm taking it one step at a time but planning down the road as I hope to hook it to my TV for Netflix streaming, Hulu, etc. I've ordered the S-Video adapter so I'll be good there.
    My question: I know that to drive a second monitor (not mirrored) that a third party, usually USB solution is needed. But what if I just want to mirror out to my TV what is shown on the monitor? Will a DVI splitter do the job?

    A splitter will generally not work - or at least that well - because it means the mini will receive two separate signals from the displays indicating conflicting possible settings. It would only then work at resolutions which are common to both displays - typically 640x480 and 800x600.
    What complicates it more in your case is that since you want to drive the TV with the DVI-to-S-Video adapter, if you were to add a splitter before that cable, it would eradicate the S-video component since that is catered for by the adapter alone. And clearly you can't add a splitter after the adapter.
    There is no real, easy way to add dual display use to a mini, but the recently released USB adapter and the Matrox dual-head-to-go are probably the most viable. Even then, in as far as the former, the USB display will be relatively slow, and in the latter, you will be limited to what amounts to two 1024x768 screens - in effect, your TV and a 15" LCD. It is also not clear whether the Matrox unit passes the S-video component of the mini's output, meaning that if it does not, it can also not be used if a TV is being connected by composite or S-video.

  • Very basic questions about video production

    Hi, I've just changed from PC to Mac and I'm feeling a little lost about some basic issues. How do I record my videos on my HD to edit them? I can't even do that!!

    Hi,
    I am about to start a project where we will be using a number of videos.  These are going to shot using a studio and I can specify any format that I'd like for the final output.  Can any of you recommend the most trouble free format as well as codec or anything else I might need to know?
