S10 on SF v20z - video out and console redirection

Hi,
Is there a way to have both video out redirection and be able to do 'platform console' command in ALOM at the same time?
by default, settings in eeprom are:
output-device=screen
input-device=keyboard
obviously, console redirection doesn't work. (Well, actually it works fine while it boots, bios output gets sent on both places, the video out and console, until solaris boots ...)
if I set
output-device=ttya
input-device=ttya
I lose the video/keyboard switch functionality, but alom console redirection works fine.
What am I missing? Is it possible to have both inputs and outputs active at the same time?
Thanks for your time,
Honza

After installing, I needed to get into single user mode then run the Xfree86 configuration utility to properly detect and use the video card. I can't remember the exact command line, but it's something like /usr/X11/bin/xfconfig or something similar. After that, the video worked fine.

  • What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

    What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
    I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
    I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
    Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
    There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
    I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
    So far not doing very well.

    Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

  • Video Out  and iPod

    If you have one of those 30pin to RCA stereo & composite video cables. Will the iPod app output a video image of the current song album art, or will the app only do video out for actually watching videos?
    I've got an interface I was going to install that makes me be able to control my iPod playback on my iPhone using my car's native stereo controls (it is done using the CD Changer port on the cars stereo). But my car also has RCA input jacks for composite video and audio. I love the MotionX GPS app and think it would be cool to see the GPS screen on my iPhone on my car's screen. So I was thinking of just using the RCA jacks combined with an RF or bluetooth remote control. But if I can't see any song information via the composite video out, then forget it.

    i believe the video out would only work when playing videos and nothing else. this is because it would be impossible to control the iPhone from your car stereo unless they created a complete interface to work with the iPhone, and the only way to do that would be to get code from apple and i doubt that will ever happen...

  • S-Video out and aspect ratio

    Hi,
    I'm think of getting the Apple Video adaptor for use with my Sony Widescreen TV. As I understand it, this adaptor outputs an S-video signal that mirrors the iMac's built-in display.
    Will this display in true widescreen on my TV or will it be in a 4:3 aspect ratio? Is there a way of choosing between the two?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think my question was a clear as it could've been.
    What I really want to know is: will my iMac output s-Video that is anamorphic widescreen. i.e. will I be able to fill my TV's screen without "stretching" a 4:3 image?
    Or, is the iMac's s-Video out limited to Standard PAL or NTSC 4:3 without support for anamorphic enhancement?
    I know that the iMac supports 4:3 and 16:10, but widescreen TVs are 16:9.
    Thanks for your help.

  • So I have this HDMI out and a 60in flat screen HDTV

    ...and when I plug my lovely iPad2 into it, it comes up as a box on the tv with black borders on either side of it. How do I utilize the real estate on my flat screen ? Is it a setting on the iPad or are my only options to "stretch" the screen on my tv? Thanks

    iPad and your TV have different aspect ratios. That's why you see the black bars. It's mirroring the iPad screen. So your only option is "stretch" on your TV if you want the mirroring to fill your screen. Stretching may not look good though.
    However different apps may choose to have a widescreen video out and they may fill your entire screen.

  • Powerbook 17" S-Video Out to TV monitor

    Hey all,
    If we go out of the S-Video out on a Powerbook 17" 1.5Ghz, and in to a television's Video In, is there a way to use the TV monitor for video only? Like how you can do that on a G5 tower, take the video out and make it extend your real estate.
    I don't want the TV screen to be a copy of what's already on the Powerbook's screen. I want to see Logic in the Powerbook, and the quicktime movie from Logic on the TV screen. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Thanks in advance!
    ETMi

    I've done this with my powerbook, only I had the DVD player app on the TV, and was using the laptop LCD for other apps. It worked just fine. In fact I did it on two different TVs, once using s-video (w/optical sound out even) and once with DVI.
    I can't speak to your specifc application (Logic) but I don't know why it wouldn't work the same way.

  • Video out from ipad pages??

    I can't seem to find any direct information about which apps support video out and which don't. The ipad guide says simply, "apps which support video out" will work with the vga adaptor but nowhere can I find whether pages specifically will do that. Anyone tried it yet?
    TIA!

    I have not tried Pages...however, I have tried Keynote and it does support Projector or TV output... I'd be very surprised if Pages and Numbers don't...

  • IBook Clamshell video out modification

    I recentley purchased an iBook Clamshell with out video out and I really need video out. I was wondering if I was to replace the sound board in my graphite ibook with the video board from a key lime ibook would it enable me to use video out. Also if I was to take the DVD drive out of my e sytem could I then burn DVD's on my clamshell ibook.

    Highly dubious.
    They are fairly inexpensive these days. Why not buy the one that meets your needs?

  • Adding a PCI graphics card to a G5 to get S-Video out - ???

    Hello!
    I have a G5 and a Radeon 9650...everything is fine except:
    I would like to have S-Video out to preview my video scenes on a preview monitor!
    Unfortunately the Readeon 9650 has no video out and because I'm using two display, the Apple DVI-to-Video adapter is not an option for me.
    Ok! What about sticking an old Radeon 7000/9200/9250 PCI in my G5, so I will get video out and I could even attache a third display to it:-) ???
    As usual, PC graphic cards are way cheaper as the Apple ones, so is it possible to use a PC card WITHOUT flashing it???
    (I mean, the system just uses my 9650 for normal operation and the PCI card will just be used after OSX is running)
    Has anybody any experience with using two graphic cards in there G5??? Are there any problems with OSX?
    Cheers
    Balrock

    Hi Edwin,
    thanks for your answer!
    I thought that I will have to flash the card, but that should not be so much of a problem.
    Will a flashed (or nativ Mac) card in the PCI slot work without any problems together with my AGP 9650?
    Or will it confuse OSX and slow down the G5?
    There is also the problem of flashing a Radeon 9250(they are quite cheap!). Only Club3D cards are flashable as far as I know, but they are only tested when beeing the main/only graphics card in the computer.
    So, is it possible that flashed cards, not able to handle the boot process/be the main card, will still work with video out after OSX is up and running?
    I won't let my camera run all the time as a Firewire/S-Video converter.
    Cheers

  • Axi 4 to video out not locking

    Hi,
    I am using the Axi 4 stream to video out and I am not able to get it to lock .I am using the IP in slave mode and  have connected the VTG_CE to gen_clken of VTC.
    I am running both the axi clock and video clock at 60  MHZ.
    There is not VDMA in my design .Its just streaming data from a camera and doing some data width conversion and feeding to to AXI4 to video out.
    I have attached the main part of my block design . I have also attached wave forms.
    Please help me on this . I am really stuck

    Hello,
    There are a few things that I'd constitute as a little 'strange' meaning not the usual use case.
    1) What exactly is the data width converter doing? Why are there so many tuser bits? Tvalid/tlast coming out of it look good, but what about tuser? It's not doing anything funny, is it?
    2) Your frame size (active) is really 120x768 pixels? Are you doing some sort of cropping? Can you put your camera in a more standard mode first to make sure everything else is correct?

  • Why no Video Out?

    From what I have read it seems that the nano doesn't have the software or hardware(the stereo minijack that has video capability) to support video output. Is this correct?Does anyone know why the iPod nano doesn't have a video out, and when, if possible, the video capability will be added to the nano?

    Jace,
    The nano's don't have video out...I have one and know this to be true, but you can check the spec sheet under connectivity here:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    Frankly, it is a good thing that Apple didn't put the power circuitry into the headphone jack on the nano....even if they could have fit it in, electrical interference from that is commonly thought to be the source of a well-known audio flaw in the color models of iPod, requiring the use of higher-impedance earphones to compensate for.
    I'm hoping Apple is migrating to a dock connector circuitry for that type of i/o, and will leave the audio jack pure and protected.
    In either case, if you need to display photos on TV, you need a full size iPod...the nano's features are size, flash, and a color display whose primary value is legibility over the monochrome displays...photos on the nano are a cute addition for showing baby photos on an airplane...that's all.

  • I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

    ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs)  might help) could someone please help?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Video-out adapter (to S-video and composite) giving distorted output.

    Recently, we had an anime-fest in my dorm, and we used my laptop (12 inch powerbook G4) with my TV-out adaptor, specifically from Apple (I didn't want to chain two adapters together). While it worked, after fighting with it for a while (the second display properties DESPERATELY need a time-out feature to restore previous settings), finally got it to work.
    At which point I noticed that, while playing, the entire video would... shimmer, for lack of a better word. Watching the edge, it would distort slightly, constantly, related to what was being displayed at the time. To me, this seems to say that the analog-out processing is rather crappy, but I'm hoping there's either a way around that, or I got a bad adapter. Is there any hope?
    This is all related to the composite output, I have no way to check the S-video out. However. I brought my desktop PC down the next time, and used its video-out (x800 pro. I love it), which worked flawlessly, so I know that it isn't the TV's input or the video file.

    *another bump*
    Come on, anything? The distortion seems to be predictable, based on what's being displayed. In that case, this could be accounted for prior to anything even being sent to the display, and nullified. I don't suppose anyone has tried?
    I know other TV-display adapters have similar issues, but this is larger than most. Something contradictory to Apple's trend.

  • Macbook Pro DVI and Video Out woes..

    Hey, this seems to be a known issue although specifics are difficult to nail down. I've had my macbook pro since shortly after they were launched and been using the DVI - S-video adapter since day one, and it's been outputting to all TVs with no problem.
    I recently got a nice overtime payment from work and decided to treat myself to an external 24" display, was very pleased with it when it arrived. Plugged it in downstairs, and ran it for a few hours, putting it through its paces - worked great.
    Decided to move the whole arrangement upstairs and 'no input signal' said the monitor, the MBP just didn't detect anything in the displays. The built-in display did it's blue screen when the cable was plugged in, so it's definitely detecting something.. The monitor is connected via a DVI-D single-link cable. I've confirmed that both cable and monitor work using a different computer.
    So after this happened, I decided to try plugging it into a TV again to see if the S-video out worked and although Displays picks up the TV and everything is as usual, nothing is shown on the screen.
    Any suggestions would be very welcome before I get my hammer and remodel my computer!
    Anyone else suffering from something similar to this?
    The monitor is a 24" Yuraku YV24WBH1.
    Cheers.
    PS I've tried booting from the install CD, two versions of XP bootcamp (one with standard drivers, one with Catalyst, and the computer's old HD with 10.4 installed on it - no joy with any)

    Another update, I did some research and it seems that ATI are cagily admitting to the fact that there might be a problem with the X-series;

    http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questio nID=25682
    You'll notice that ATI tell you to contact the manufacturer of your computer if the graphics are integrated into the motherboard. Like with Apple. Much joy to be had there.
    I phoned their technical support and got talking with a specialist who was mystified and suggested 'turning off the airport'.
    Also, it seems that Apple rather significantly "underclocked" the GPUs in their macbook pros;

    Could be running the GPUs are running on a lower voltage and maybe they're not working right, or the signal isn't stable enough to pick up an EDID? It seems to be quite a mystery. Perhaps the osx86 community will have some tricks up their sleaves for twisting the x1600's arm. Still doesn't explain why the monitor worked that one time.
    This probably isn't an issue for anyone who doesn't want to plug their laptop into an external display, but I suspect it's a widespread problem just waiting to rear its ugly head, especially as HDTVs become more ubiquitous.
    Anyone else struggling with external display devices, or with solutions, I'd appreciate your input.
