Resolution jumps with Panasonic HDTV

Since buying my Mac mini in December 09 I've been using a Panasonic HDTV (TX-L37G15B) as my monitor. With the Mini DisplayPort-DVI adaptor and then a DVI-HDMI cable into the TV everything was set up in perfect HD. The Mac detected the TV and chose 1080p without needing to adjust anything.
Since the 2009 Aluminium Keyboard Firmware Update on 13/02/2010 my Mac will no longer hold it's resolution. Without warning it will jump to an alternate resolution but still show 1080p in the Display Settings.
I can change the resolution to another and back to 1080p and it will hold for a short time and then once again jumps/stretches to the wrong size. Overscan is turned off and I've tried setting the resolution in Safe Mode with little affect.
Would using the Mini DVI Port help matters?
Any info would help, thanks,
Chris

Try a couple of troubleshooting things.
Repair the Disk Permissions with Disk Utility in Apps/Utilities. Highlight your startup volume to the left and in the First Aid pane to the right press the Repair Permissions button.
Reset PRAM. Restart your Mac with a wired USB keyboard attached and immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys. After you hear a second startup chime release all of the keys and let the Mac start normally.

Menus and Fonts too small with Panasonic HDTV

I just hooked up a new Mini (Intel chip) to my Panasonic HDTV-- 34" Model No. CT-34WX53-- using a DVI cable. The desktop shows up fine, but the menus and fonts are so tiny that I can't read them. When I try using Front Row, the pictures and vide are gorgeous and the fonts in Front Row are fine. It's just the fonts and menus in on the desktop and in other programs that are too small. Does anyone know how to fix?

Edward,
That's the price of having a gazillion pixels!
You have two options - send less pixels to the display or change each application (Including the finder) to show larger fonts and icons.
The lower the resolution option is easy and fast. The downside of "zoom"-ing the display is it may look blocky at certain resolutions and the fonts and fine details in photos and movies may be lost if the mac has to alias or scale the video. If you do this - you might want to enable the menu bar item for display preferences to quickly switch between the setting you prefer. I use one setting for actually using the mac and another setting for playing movies and showing slides in FrontRow.
The change the preferences to make the fonts and icons larger is more of a pain but yields the most crisp display and you don't have to change things up. I would start with Finder Preferences (select an icon on your desktop and on the View menu - show view options - crank up the icon size and font size.) Unfortunately - you have to do this in each application you use. It also won't change the menu font sizes - you might need an "extension" from a developer to change that.

Macbook won't recognise maximum resolution of 32" Panasonic HDTV

My white Macbook (2007, 2.13GHz, 2GB RAM) will only output 1400x1050 to my Full HD HDTV (a Panasonic TH-32LZ80, Japanese model). Everything looks stretched... I'd like to use it as I intended at 1920x1080! I tried messing with SwitchresX in a novice way and I succeeded only in getting zero output from the monitor when I tried making a custom 60Hz refresh 1920x1080 resolution
Any help? I've outputted what SwitchresX has to say about my monitor below, not that it seems very useful...

I was connecting it through VGA when I posted the details above. Someone said it would be better to try it through HDMI so I'm just waiting for my Mini DVI-to-HDMI adapter to come through the mail before I give this another bash.
@BSteely: Thanks for your response. The "zero output" I was getting was from the same as the timing parameters above except I put 1920 in the horizontal box and 1080 in the vertical box. Subsequent reading around has led me to believe there was no way it was ever going to be that simple!

Problem with plazma HDTV as external display

I have Panasonic HDTV 42" , which i use as external display. I try to connect it through miniDVI to HDMI adapter. Sometimes it works just fine. Just turn on tv and macbook use it as external display. But sometimes it does not work. When i turn it on and turn it off, i can see blink in macbook display, so maybe something wrong with TV. It have tried connect to diff HDMI port, connect, disconnect, everything, it does not work anymore. Yesterday, i had the same problem but somehow i fixed it, today i have the same problem. Maybe it is about spaces or ..i just do not know..If someone had the same problem and fixed it , so it would be great to hear suggestion.
Thanks
P.s. Sometimes i got this problem in Windows, but after several rebooting,reseting and reconnection it usually got fixed

Hi!
In the problem i described above i was using: TV->HDMI->DVi-->miniport To DVI-->Mac. However,
I have tried to connect my macbook to normal 22 display using macbook-> miniportToDvi-->ext display. and everything works fine. So i assume that problem is with my HDMI to DVI cable. I will try to find another one tomorrow and it should fix the problem.
Thank you anyway, mate

Satellite P200 - no sound playing through Panasonic HDTV

Hi, I recently bought a P200 Notebook, and have tried to play HD DVDs through my Panasonic HDTV, connecting from the notebook's HDMI port to the TV's HDMI port with an HDMI lead, and connecting from the headphone socket on the notebook to the two audio sockets on the back of the TV. However, although the image is fine, no sound is coming through the TV.
I think I may be overlooking something incredibly obvious, but has anyone got any suggestions as to why no sound is coming from my TV?
Thanks!

I've done it
Open up Control Panel
Select *<<Sound>>* (Not the Realtek HD Audio Manager)
Under Devices there will be Digital Output Device (HDMI)
Right Click and select *<<Set as Default Device>>*
Hey presto Audio comes blaring out of the TV.
After Disconnecting, it seemed to stay locked to HDMI Audio despite selecting Speakers as the Default output. I had to disabled HDMI and then reenable it after the speakers were being used as the defaulot device again.
This may not be the best solution but it works, so I can finally start watching all my BBC IPlayer downloads.
If anybody has a neater solution that means Audio is automatically switched on connecting and HDMI Monitor please tell me.

Will Airport Extreme Network with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30

Will Airport Extreme Network work properly with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30 HDTV?

Problem with Panasonic P2

I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me.
I shot video by Panasonic AG-HVX203 to shoot video in DVCPRO HD (1080/50i) format. This is PAL format. Video is stored in P2 card. And then I import the MXF files to the timeline of Premiere CS4. After edited, by the Dynamic Link sent to Encore which Project Preset is PAL 1440x1080 25.
With Encore, transcode the video with 1440x1080 25 Maximun Quality. And then Build "Blu Ray Disc Image". Finally, burn this Disc Image file to Blu Ray disc.
Play back this disc with Panasonic Blu Ray player BUT find out that the video resolution is 576p!!
I checked my workflow and tried many times to build different Disc Images. But all blu ray disc is played back only with 576p quality.
I want to create a blu ray disc with 1080i quality. What did I do wronly in my wrokflow? Could you help?

1. Try encoding to Blu-Ray (mpg2 or H.264) from Premiere using your 50i settings.
2. Check the file after encoding to be sure it is 1440x1080 50i.
3. Then start Encore and create a new HD project. Check under FILE, PROJECT SETTINGS that you have Blu-Ray selected with PAL 1440x1080 50i.
4. Next import the Blu-Ray files you exported from Premiere into Encore.
5. Burn your Blu-ray disk.
Hope this helps.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

MacBook Pro does not sense external monitor (Panasonic HDTV in my case) via thunderbolt-HDMI connection...Is update 10.8.3 helping anyone?

My MacBook Pro (newest model in 2013 so far) does not sense external monitor (Panasonic HDTV in my case) via thunderbolt-HDMI connection...Is update 10.8.3 helping anyone else who has this issue? I returned my multiple HDMI adapters after figuring out it had to be an Apple issue n not the adapters so I can't check it myself now.
Thanks!

I have late 2012 MBP 13" and connect to my Panasonic Plasma correctly.
But using the same cable, can't connect to an LG 47LM6200, the MBP detects the TV, the screen blinks blue, but the TV shows "no sinal detected" message.

I have problems with office for mac screen resolution, specially with excel

I have problems with office for mac screen resolution, specially with excel ?

For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.
We are talking about Office:Mac 2011, right?

How to make Image/size/resolution agree with metadata resolution?

After scanning the help file a bit and searching thru this forum a bit with `metadata resolution' as search criteria, I'm still pretty confused about how it is supposed to work.. I may have never actually found the right part of the help file.
Cutting to the chase: How can I make the resolution reported by the metadata tab for resolution agree with what is reported inside photoshop at Image/size resolution. I didn't see any way to set how res is reported in bridge.
I see many pictures reported in metadata as 72 ppi for resolution and reported in photoshop as 200 pixel/inch
They do BOTH mean pixels per inch right? If so, or really even if they don't how can I get the two reports to show the same resolution?
There are too many processes that depend on knowing res in advance of opening a file for that to be so far divergent.

Jingshu Li wrote:
Some JPG or Tiff with Camera raw settings will be opened in ACR firstly when you double click them. In ACR workflow option (the bottom in the ACR dialog) the resolution value isn’t same with that in Bridge (metadata panel). If you go ahead to open the image in PS by clicking ‘Open Image’ button in ACR dialog and then check the image size from Image -> Image Size in PS, the resolution will be same with ACR (actually it is changed by ACR).
If disable ACR support for JPG and Tiff in Bridge (Open Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge and choose ‘Disable JPEG support’ or ‘Disable TIFF support’ for ‘JPEG and TIFF Handling’), JPG or TIFF files will be opened by PS directly and the resolution matches between Bridge and PS. I believe this is an ACR bug.
So what file types are you using and if they’re opened by ACR firstly in your workflow?
The files are *.jpg. But I don't see where camera raw comes in. These are common jpg files. I'm opening them by double click in bridge.
Any way I did disable jpg and tiff in the Camera Raw preferences as you suggested. At Jpeg and tiff handling, both disabled. and restared bridge.
However, I see no improvment.
For example, a file reporting 72 ppi in bridge when opened in photoshop ... Images/size resolution reports 480 pixels/inch.
There is obviously some kind of miss handling that has been done to these files for them to have such a high resolution. I suspect they may have been handled at Walgreens or Walmart... or similar since I had something very similar happen to me once when I had a bunch of pictures developed at Walgreens and they cam back with resolutions like that, when I know the camera would have given them something way less.
But I don't see how any of that should be effecting Bridges inability to get the resolution right.
Here is another example: some.jpg
It appears that bridge is showing an unusually huge file size in inches, to account for the reported 72 ppi.
Bridge:
Size: ...............1.14mb
Dimensions:.....1496x1064
Dimensions in
inches ............20.8x26.7
Resolution: .....72 ppi
===========================
Photoshop:

Width 1496

Do you have further suggestions?

Query Jump with Navigation ( Sub query need to show same Navigation )

Hi All.
   We have 4 BEx queries in our Dashboard Web Template and each table web items shows 10 rows and remaining with Scorll.
   For Printing ,we have created a query jump for each BEx Query ( same copy query) that shows all the rows detail.
   When i tried to jump from Orginial Dashboard ( From Specific table/Bex Query) with drill down <b>( Plant by Material )</b> , the jump query is not showing the same drill down but it showing the default rows <b>( Plant as per query rows</b>).
   SAP has suggested us its possible to do Query Jump with Navgiation that shows the same drill down path (navigation) in Sub Query as well.
   Am unable to find how to configure that , did search in OSS / Other Forumns But there were no postings on this.
   For me there is no Settings in RSBBS (or) SPRO and tried the Web Address Jump as well to pass the Drill Down Status (or) Navigation. May be iam not looking at right place. We are at 3.1x
   We found some limitations with SAP recommended web printing ( we dont need to discuss about that as per our requirement ), and our users like the Query Jump printing as which we working on now.
   Please inform if this can be possible, if so how.
Thanks
Martin Mouli

Thanks for reply Bhanu.
Its not like just Plant by Material.
I would like to do my slicing & dicing on Navigational block with any combinations ( Customer by Plant by Material )
When i do query jump from My Original Web Table , my jump query need to show the same drill down ( Customer by Plant by Material)but its showing only Material. ( Which is a default row in sub query)
To show the same navigation in jump query as well, right now am doing drill down again in jump query as well. Its time waste to repeat the same drill down steps in sub query.
By default my Jump Query has Material as row and We will show Plant & Customer on Demand (free characteristics)
Please inform if more information required.
Regards
Martin Mouli

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage and it is playing back in slow motion?

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage shot using .MOV wrapper with their IPB 50mbps and All-Intra 72MBPS codecs and they are playing back in slow motion in Sg CC. The footage works fine in PP CC and I have no clue on how to fix it. Is this a bug or do I a have a setting wrong some place?

Yes it turns red this is silly PP and AE have no problem with playback for these codecs. So it is indeed Sg not handling the codec correctly and not my system?
What if I transcoded it to something else other than the previous what would you reccommend?
I was going to transcode to ProRes but 5DtoRGB does not work on Windows with GH3 codecs.
What is the correct time warp seting under clip properties? I screwed with it and forgot the default setting.
Is there a way to reset Sg back to defaults settings globaly. I tried to many settings trying to fix the playback and may have left something in the wrong state.
Thanks...

Green tint in RAW previews with Panasonic

I upgraded Aperture to 3.3. Previously I used the terminal "iregister"command to fix the green tint problem with Aperture and my RAW images with Panasonic GF3. The problem came back after the update and the terminal fix does not work now. I also tried regenerating previews without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Raphael, you got me there
The lsregister fix is a puzzle to me as well - what Frank Caggiano probably would call woodoo and waving a dead chicken over the computer. But sometimes it magically seems to work. It can help, if the latest raw support is installed, but the system cannot find it for specific media kinds. The lsregister command indexes the database of supported media types know to the operating system (launchservices.db). This fix has originally been posted by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command (there is no blank in "LaunchServices.framework" - but it is impossible t post such a long line here)
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

Lync 2013 with SIP trunk with panasonic kx-tde200

Hi
My company has installed a panasonic ip-pbx kx-tde for multiline with 100 number range for telephone service.
Now my company is going to replace multiline by sip trunk . It will still work with Panasonic pbx box just need to reprogramme to be able to connected to the sip proxy which is managed by internet service provider.
For this scenario , would Lync 2013 voice work if I just add PSTN gateway which is the ip of panasonic pbx address to the frontend in topology ? Or I may need a mediation server as a must requirement to make lync voice work?
Thanks
WenFei

Media bypass allow a call to basically skip the mediation server once it's established and go directly from gateway (in this case the PBX) and the endpoint (the telephone handset or Lync client) More information here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398719.aspx
By having this (if your PBX supports it) you reduce the load on the mediation servers. Before you go too far down the road also make sure that your PBX supports SIP trunks that are SIP over TCP (as Lync doesn't work with SIP over UDP)
Sort of, the easiest way is to add the .com as an additional SIP domain in Topology builder, you will need to create DNS records for it (both internal and external) and you will need to reissue the certs with additional SANs to support the second domain.
YOu will also need to update all the users to use the new suffix of xxx.com. So it's not a small task.
