Recommendations for monitoring 16:9 Anamorphic

I'm working more and more in 16:9 anamorphic for widescreen tradeshow displays. My system, however, is DV, with an NTSC 4:3 monitor... so when working in 16:9, the display is "squished".
I have a 26" lcd tv with VGA, component and HDMA inputs. Is there anyway to use it or any other better idea to be able to monitor the work in wide format, other than what I see on the Canvas in FCP?

Matrox MXO...Matrox MXO 2...AJA I/O HD. All those work on a laptop and have Component outs. MXO 2 and I/O HD have HDMI outs.

  • Recommendations for Monitoring Tomcat?

    The best I could find on this forum regarding monitoring TomCat is this thread from 2009:
    Monitoring Tomcat
    which describes to use a Virtual Agent and probably the mentioned Ant Tasks.
    Is this Virtual Agent really necessary or do we have any pointers describing the ServerStats side of requirements for native JMX in OATS 9.30 ?
    The Apache TomCat website [1] has documentation on how to enable JMX and configure the RMI ports.
    This also covers the configuration of JMX remote Ant Tasks which requires to copy catalina-ant.jar from $CATALINA_HOME/lib to $ANT_HOME/lib.
    The following Java World article talks about three other JARs that are needed for monitoring TomCat with MC4J [2].
    You need the catalina.jar, catalina-cluster.jar, and catalina-optional.jar files (located in %CATALINA_HOME%\server\lib\) specified in the classPathEntries property.
    Are these the configuration JARs that need to be added for Apache Tomcat to OATS ?
    As a last resort, would any of the frameworks discussed in the introduction of the JavaWorld article [2] be suitable for OATS ?
    * XMOJO
    * jManage
    * MX4J
    * Spring JMX
    * JMX-HTML adaptor
    * MC4J JMX Console

  • Recommendations for a new monitor?

    Greetings,
    I'm looking for a new monitor for my Powermac G4 450 MHz AGP (sawtooth).
    I'm currently using a Formac Gallery 1740 after 6 years it's starting to faded out on me.
    I'd really appreciate any suggestion or Recommendations for a new one.
    Aisha K.

    I'm using a 17" LCD, Acer model AL1706 on my G4 400MHz AGP. Was plug 'n play and has been flawless over the years. I'm sure the current model numbers are different.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Monitor Recommendations for Use with Captivate

    Anyone have any monitor recommendations for use with Captivate? Size and resolution?

    The formal adobe  recommendation is as posted 1024x768 is fine.
    But, monitors are not that expensive, so for productivity and better work environment I recommend at least one wide screen 22" with resolution  1600X1200 or more  and that supports 1080 for video.
    You need the  wide screen ( or  two monitors) so you can work with all the tools in one view.  

  • Monitor recommendations for PS/CS5.5 print work

    Hopefully this won't be retreading old ground too much, but I'm looking for monitor recommendations for using with CS5.5 for print work in Photoshop and InDesign mainly on a new Mac Mini. I've got a Spyder 3 for calibration already so that side of things is covered - the Apple Thunderbolt display is a bit of range financially, plus I'm not sure about the glossy screen myself, ideally I'd be looking to spend no more than £500 and size wise about 24" would be the ideal size due to the amount of deskspace available to me. TIA for any/all help/recommendations!

    For starters look heere:
    http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/
    The degree of perfection is dependent on your final needs. A studio doing catalog work is going to need a monitor all the way up to top providers like Eizo. for my needs where I output to an Epson 3800 and bigger, I find the dell u2412 to be ideal, and at your price category, maybe 2 will fit the budget.
    The 2412 does not cover the full Adobe RGB gamut, but it does cover sRGB IEC 61966-2-1:1999, the current preference for  online color. I use it because correcting the monitor to match the print for b&w is paramount, and the best monitors for this use LED backlight. The u2412 is admirable for this especially at it's price point.
    I also use a 2nd monitor but it is a smaller 4:3 aspect ratio. It's use is strictly for tools and such.
    The 2412 is a 16:10 aspect ratio and is far better, imo, for graphics work. Also (and maybe especially!) it is very close to the golden mean ratio giving it a wonderful presentation format. Check it out where you see 16:9 and 16:10 side by side.
    When I am working closely with adjustment layers I have enough room on my screen to pull over the specific palette next to the image while tweaking, a big help without losing the ability to fill the screen later if you wish. Simply move the palette back to it's home on the other screen.
    Good Luck!

  • I need a recommendation for a 24" monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro

    I need a recommendation for a 24" professional photography monitor for my late 2013 MacBook Pro.  I am looking for a monitor that plays well with my 13" late 2013 Macbook pro.  I tryed the Dell U2413 and found after the fact that it did not work well with my Macbook pro.  Read up on the Asus PA 249Q, It also seems to have problems with my Macbook Pro.  Apple display is larger than i want.  Looking for recommendations for compatable IPS monitor for use with Aperture. buget is $300 to $800.
    Anybody happy with thiers?
    MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Aperture 3.5.1

    Any monitor will work. Decide what specs work best for your needs and get that monitor.

  • Which of the two monitors do you recommend for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5:  EIZO CG 277 Coloredge o

    HI,
    Which of the two monitors do you recommend for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5:
    EIZO CG 277 Coloredge or NEC PA-272W.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    It depends on where you are. Things are very different in Europe (Italy?) compared to the US situation.
    The price difference between comparable NEC/Eizo models in Europe actually goes in Eizo's favor. The regular NEC PA272 in Europe cannot be hardware calibrated (it has a firmware lock) and the comparable offering would be either the NEC Spectraview 272 or the Spectraview Reference 272. These are more expensive than the Eizo CG277.
    Note that the European PA272 can be hardware calibrated with the US Spectraview II software - but that software cannot be bought in Europe and has to be imported from the US.
    All these displays are top reference quality. As for calibration software, which is a very important part in the equation, my vote goes to Eizo's ColorNavigator (I have a CG246). It is a superb piece of well thought-out software. The US Spectraview II - which I also happen to have - is a very, very close second, but the European Spectraview Profiler software that you get with the EU NEC units isn't all that impressive.
    Photoshop supports a 10 bit display pipeline, with either display, as long as you have a video card that also supports it. Lightroom doesn't support it.

  • Recommendation for external monitor with good audio?

    I've got a MacBook Pro, about three years old or so.  I also have a new iMac.
    I'm happy with the audio on the iMac.  Good enough that I don't need external speakers to listen to iTunes.
    I have a weekend place and when I go, I only take my MacBook Pro with me ... and I miss the 21" screen and the better audio from my iMac.
    Can anyone recommend a monitor for MacBook Pro that is just as good as the iMac, especially with regards to the sound?
    Ideally under $300.

    Any with built-in HDMI should work and 1080p.   ViewSonic, NEC, Sony, LG, and Samsung.  Viewsonic and NEC may also have color correction capabilities.    Make sure your Mac is one of the ones with built-in audio over mini-Displayport or has Thunderbolt or HDMI to connect:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    If it does not have audio, and is a mini-Displayport only, see this tip for alternatives:

  • Recommendations for switching between two machines and one monitor

    Hi,
    I have a MacMini and a MacBook Air, both with Thunderbolt Display ports but I have one monitor. I'd like to switch between the two without having to unplug and plug the monitor back in every time. Any recommendations for some sort of switch or Thunderbolt hub would be greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    Chris

    This should work if the display use display port/mini displayport inputs. A mini display port connectors plugs into the Mac's Thunderbolt port for video

    While I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

  • Recommendations for Analog to Digital conversion

    I am seeking the help of all the Pros out there. I am moving my extensive analog music collection (LP/Cassette) to the digital world. Are there any recommendations for creating a CD-quality sound/volume level. I am currently using the standards (click/pop/hiss reduction, compressor and/or hard limiting). I am recording at 44.1/16 Bit and saving files in mp3 PRO-320 kbps for sake of storage. I welcome any assistance in regard to Plug-ins, equalization or other suggestions.
    Thank you in advance

    >I am recording at 44.1/16 Bit and saving files in mp3 PRO-320 kbps for sake of storage. I welcome any assistance in regard to Plug-ins, equalization or other suggestions.
    You shouldn't save files as MP3s until all the processing you want to do has been done - this is a lossy format, and every time you open a file saved like this it gets re-decoded, and then re-encoded when you do a save. And the quality degeneration is progressive. And unfortunately, recording your files as 16-bit is also not going to be quite the thing to do if you are going to do any sort of amplitude processing at all, either, especially if you are recording at a lower-than-optimum amplitude, which is usually the case. 44.1k is fine, though!
    So, to get over the potential problems, the thing to do is to digitise your files as 44.1k 32-bit floating point, and until all processing is done, store them as Windows PCM wav files in this format, because that is uncompressed, which is what you need.
    If you want to reduce noise on cassette recordings, it's worth using a fairly high FFT setting, even though it takes longer to do the processing. Since most of the noise is not LF, this tends to work better, although there is also a case for doing the NR twice, once with a lower FFT setting and once with a higher one, but not trying to take out too much in one go.
    As for click reduction - well, you have to experiment. But letting the software determine all of the levels tends to give you a pretty good starting point. Another trick that's sometimes worth it is to transform your files temporarily to M-S stereo instead of L-R, and treat each channel separately - you generally get different levels of clicks in each, usually more in the S signal, whilst the M cancels out quite a few. And in general, the less clicks you can get away with processing, the better.
    Hard limiting? Never used it on a conversion like that at all, and wouldn't even consider it - transients are already likely to be distorted, and hard limiting them further seems like a
    very strange thing to do...
    Other tools that are useful, especially on cassettes are iZotope's Ozone (some of which is already in Audition) and HarBal. You can restore usually distorted frequency responses with the latter, and get a good average value automatically and easily. And judicious use of Ozone's enhancer can make them seem a lot less like the results came from a cassette...
    One of the useful things you can do with Ozone is to selectively widen parts of the spectrum. Since most records of music tend (for reasons of tracking) to have had the bass forced to be virtually mono, with subsequent similar consequences for other instruments with substantial LF content, it's worth expanding just about everything under about 250Hz, possibly by more than you might think.
    Generally, 'normal' EQ doesn't have a lot of use when processing vinyl, if it's relatively recent. And that generally means anything from the 60's onwards. If you think things are seriously wrong, the chances are that it's your monitors and environment that are misleading you. Just bear in mind that when this stuff was produced, it was all monitored in a professional environment - more so than it might be today, even.
    No doubt there will be a few other responses - I don't think that the foregoing is anything like complete, but is at least a start.

  • Best audio creation mode settings for monitoring?

    I currently have the PCI-E X-Fi Titanium Fatality Professional and a new set of Klipsch ProMedia 2. speakers. I am a novice in music production and am looking to give myself the best driver settings in audio creation mode for the most accurate recording and monitoring possible. I realize that studio monitors are recommended for this sort of thing, but I am just getting my feet wet at this point and will be the only one listening to my mixes, so whether or not they sound good on other speakers is not that important right now.
    What I am most concerned with is volume, I have read that higher volume levels in the control panel can cause distortion, but that lower volume levels cause you to lose some of the highs and lows. Is any of this true? Or does the volume make no difference? I have tried several settings, usually either leaving it at the default preset which sets the volume to 67%, or the RMAA 96 KHz preset which has it maxed at 00%. Honestly I really can't tell much of a difference, but if one setting is in fact better than another, I would like to hear it.
    For right now I have been using the RMAA 96 KHz preset and turning on EAX as I do play some games from time to time. Which brings up another question, does EAX have any effect on music playback? Anyway I have messed with the EQs some, but I really want as flat a response as possible so I always have it either at Flat or disabled entirely. Klipsch recommends having the Wave volume at 70%, how can I access this from the Audio Creation mode?
    Sorry, lots of questions here, hopefully someone can take a moment to help out a noob, thanks in advance.
    Oh right, my specs (probably not important but whatever):
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro
    Klipsch ProMedia 2.
    Intel Q6600
    2 x 2GB Corsair Dominator PC2-8500
    Asus P5B-Deluxe Wi/Fi
    Nvidia 275GTX Superclocked
    Corsair 620W

    Well gaming is an extremely low priority for me, I realize the game mode is best for gaming purposes but I am really interested in mixing/recording music with a MIDI controller in Ableton and finding settings that give me the most accurate monitoring, don't really care how games sound to be honest.

  • Audio Interface for monitoring, mixing 5.1 St Surround in FCP and Sd Tr Pro

    I'm a fairly newbie with FCP and Sound Track Pro, and I am doing mostly long form, live event HDV recordings and editing. I'm about to start doing 5.1 Stereo Surround shooting and burning to Blu Ray. What do you recommend for an audio interface for my G4 PowerBook running Leopard w/2GB ram, to monitor/mix my 5.1 audio tracks in Sound Track Pro (since I can't monitor 5.1 in FCP?) I will likely be recording the tracks on the new Sound Devices 788T and inporting them into FCP and/or STP via firewire, but I need to monitor my mix before I burn to Blu Ray discs using Toast 10 and my LaCie BR burner.
    Also has anyone found a way to use Bose 5.1 monitor speaker system? It would work fine for the BR player, but what about using with the Mac G4 PowerBook - do I need a digital audio - audio interface?

    You'll need an audio-interface with at least 6 outputs. They should be connected to a surround processor or AV-Receiver with multichannel inputs. In line with your budget you could use M-Audio, Focusrite or Apogee products for that, they work with STP & Protools.
    When monitoring, you cannot use the Bose system, because S/Pdif is for encoded audio only.
