Samsung monitor analog signal status window

Samsung S20A350B 20" LED Widescreen Monitor: Visually, this is an exceptional monitor; lots of neat menu features including the screen adjustment and customization. The only downside is the cable's analog input signal box/window keeps appearing in the top left of the screen after my PC is activated from "stand-by" mode. It is annoying. The Samuung help guy said "you can shorten the time it appears but cannot hide it." There is no point to this pesky popup continuing to remind you it's there. The monitor user should be able to hide it and check the cable status when necessary. The Manual does not address this feature. Samsung should include this feature in it's Manual and on their website instead of failing to address it at all. Just wanted to make you guys aware.

I think it has something to do with the acceleration compatibility of many type of graphics cards.

Mac mini late 2012, hdmi to Samsung Monitor no signal

mac mini late 2012, OS X ver. 10.9.2, hdmi to Samsung Monitor (S22C300) no signal,
but thunderbolt to hdmi adaptor can work, any fix for hdmi issue?

It would seem that if the Samsung monitor is not waking from sleep, then Samsung has not properly implemented the Wake on Signal that the Mini is sending out. There is nothing unique that Apple would do for one manufacturer. The signal is being sent out and that is why other monitors wake. Your Samsung, and mine, which are both probably different models are not waking when requested by the Mini. The best that can be done is to set the Energy Saving System Preference to not put the monitor to sleep. Use the Screen Saver as desired.

Samsung monitor/"check signal cable" msg

Been using this monitor for about a year and a half, connecting it to my Mac Mini with a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. All of a sudden, I get the "check signal cable" message. I replaced the VGA cable; no luck. Then I replaced the adapter; still no luck. The Mini runs fine; I can access it over my network using my laptop. Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks.

32" Samsung LCD as monitor -- no signal?

Hey now. I have an older G4 that I want to hook up to a 30" Samsung LCD (max res: 1280x720), but when I set it all up, there is no picture. The G4 has an ADC out, so I use a ADC-to-DVI adapter, a DVI cable, and then a DVI-to-VGA adapter to go into the LCD TV. (I was able to hook up a PC to the LCD via the same DVI cable with a DVI-to-VGA adapter and see the desktop.)
I did hook up the G4 to my 23" Apple display and lower the Display settings, but to no avail. Maybe they are not low enough?
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The ADC to DVI adapter is not passing the analog signals needed for VGA. You need the ADC to VGA adapter, then a VGA cable.

SONY Handycam DCR-HC19E, Capable of Passing Digital Analog Signal?

Hi
I wondered if my Sony Handycam DCR - HC19E (miniDV) is capable of sending an analog signal through firewire to my computer as I wish to monitor my progress on my tv.
And:
Should I be on record or play/edit mode on camera?
What to do if I wish to playback my videos on FCP 5?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what settings on the camera, but this is the playthru checklist:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Server Monitor Notifications - Drive Status Changed - Time Machine

I'm using an Xserve as a file server for a small workgroup . It has a Raid 1 set which is being backed up via Time Machine to an attached disk array.
Whenever Time Machine runs (every hour), I get two notifications from Server Monitor that the drive status has changed:
*Reason(s) for notification:*
*Drive status changed*
The timestamps on the notifications coincide with these messages in system.log
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x197060 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 read() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
Feb 2 11:28:05 ciesaxserve2 Server Monitor[854]: * _NSSocket.m:243 write() failed; socket=0x2090e90 error=(NSPOSIXErrorDomain,61)
and:
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook called.
Feb 2 11:28:55 ciesaxserve2 servermgrd[78]: servermgr_backup: TimeMachinePostBackupHook done.
The notifications simply report that all is normal, and the number of available drives goes from 6, to 7, back to 6. Something to do with making the backup volume available, I presume.
I would like to disable these specific messages. I realize I can disable all messages from server monitor regarding disk statuses, but then I would be turning off messages about failures and actual problems.
Is there a config I can edit which will only alert me to actual problems? I'd like to stop getting 48 emails each day; reduce the noise and increase the signal.

I know this post is old but this has recently cropped up for me. I have been backing up with Time Machine for months without a single alert. It started happening after I replaced the failed battery on my RAID card. A coincidence...however the prolonged down time surely caused an SMC (and perhaps PRAM) reset which I assume triggered the change in behavior.
I've pinned it down to Time Machine backing up service settings, in particular the Open Directory archive. Time Machine backs up all the service data independently from the rest of the data on your server startup volume.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5139
You can see this data in Terminal.

The ServerBackup_OpenDirectoryMaster.sparseimage contains an archive of your Open Directory database like the one you create from Server Admin. The only difference is that it appears to be unencrypted. This is a bit worrying since Snow Leopard, as far as I know, does not have an option to encrypt your Time Machine backup. This image seems to invisibly mount whenever a Time Machine backup is triggered. This can be verified by checking /private/var/log/system.log and filtering for backup

You can see at 16:00:56 Server Manager got a call from Time Machine to start the services backup and finished at 16:09:26. Open Directory would have been backed up during that process. Take a look at /private/var/log/hwmond.log
serveradmin$ tail /private/var/log/hwmond.log
Tue Jun 4 16:08:36 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 4 to 5.
Tue Jun 4 16:08:48 BST 2013 - Number of drives change from 5 to 4.
You'll see that both drive change warnings from Server Monitor occured just before the services backup completed. You can also use the sudo diskarbitrationd -d command along with tail /private/var/log/diskarbitrationd.log in another terminal window, trigger a Time Machine backup manually and watch this disk image mount during the backup process. Compare the mount times with the above logs to see if they all match up.
Although I have discovered the cause (which thankfully seems harmless) I have not discovered a way to stop it from generating pointless alerts. I'll post here if I figure it out. I am in the process of upgrading all of my servers to Mountain Lion so it may be a moot point. I am hopeful this information may help someone out there even though it is thoroughly out of date.

How to input/output a digital signal and acquire an analog signal at the same time?

Dasylab, version: 8.0.04
Acquirement Card: PCI1002L
When I use DasyLab to acquire the analog signals is no problem without digital inputs and outputs,
and when I use DasyLab to input or output a digital signal is no problem also, but when I do that at the
same time, DasyLab tell me the rate is too high and stop.
so, I searched the manual book1 (user guide) for that, it showed me :
To internally equalize measurement time and system time in the analog input, digital input and counter
hardware modules, use the following settings:
   Synchronization: PC Clock
   Sampling rate: <= 5Hz
   Block size: =1
the problem is, if I set the Sampling rate to 5Hz, the speed of the acquirement datas is not enough for my
application.
so, how to improve it? who can give me a example programm for me. thanks!
by the way, I come from China, my English isn't good, I'm sorry.

Hi,
Have things changed over the years?
I need to syncronise a digital output (Modul NI9474) and an analoge input (AI-Modul NI9203) module. I need to measure time intervals from a flank in signal A to a flank in signal B. I would like accuracies of the order of 1 ms. Currently, the signals are not synchronised, with errors of the order of 2 times the block length (block size x sample rate), sometimes much higher. The best I got so far was a block size of around 20 with a sample rate of 1 kHz.
If I use the master and slave settings on the RTSL settings, my program doesn't run properly.
If I use digital signals for input and output, I can syncronise them with RTSL settings and everything is good, but I can't always do that.
Also, if I do anything in the GUI (such as scrollowing something or going to another window), my output gets screwed up properly.
1. What can be done to synchronise AI with DO?
2. Is there something that can be done to avoid messing up the output when something happens in the user interface? (I know that I am messing up the outputs as they make some valves switch and that is loud).
Thanks in advance!

How to acquire analog signal and send a TTL pulse at the same time based on PXI 6123

Hi,
I am using a PXI-6123 data acquisition card, as the picture show in the attachment ,I want to acquire the analog signal of ai0 through reference analog window and at the same time send a TTL signal to trigger my camera. I have tried two methods, one is using the DAQmx Export signal.vi another is using DAQmx connect terminals, but when the data acquisition card acquire the analog signal, the DAQmx Export signal.vi and the DAQmx connect terminals sometime can send an TTL pulse ,sometime can not.
I don’t know why? or some other method that can achieve my arm is appreciated.

Xorg 1.5.3, nvidia twinview won't use samsung monitor

I've had a dual head setup going for sometime with no issues, but just got a
new monitor that I can not get working with X. I'm currently using nvida
drivers version 180.22
I have a laptop docked with the laptop screen and a second monitor as my dual head config, it's been great, but something isn't working right with this new monitor. The monitor is a samsung SyncMaster 2493hm, and I've read some things about the Samsung monitors sending incorrect edid info so that may be the issue, but I have no idea how to fix that. The behavior is odd because it appears that x server is spanning both screens as if twinview is correctly setup, but the Samsung monitor never comes on.
I have verified that the monitor works, and works in a dual head configuration both on windows and other linux distro's. My friend has the exact same laptop/monitor setup under ubuntu and it works perfectly for him. Even using HIS xorg.conf didn't work so I am really at a loss.
any help is greatly appreciated.

HDMI output to Samsung monitor is not working

I have my HP pavilion laptop 11.6 inch, recently bought a samsung monitor SA300 to connect to my laptop. The samsung monitor does not have HDMI provision.So i bought a HDMI to VGA converter and tried connecting the laptop and monitor , the message in the monitor displays "No Signal".
As i have changed the setting in MOnitor to PC, even i tried Fn+ all keys , but its not working.
Please help me on this. Do i need to install any driver for HDMI in laptop???
Appreciate your eary reply
Thanks

How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

Images too dark on Samsung monitor - please help!

We've just upgraded a Samsung 21" monitor to a Samsung 30" (305T).
In just TWO applications, Photoshop CS3 and Windows Photo Gallery (Vista64), all photographic images are much too dark. Not subtly, about 3-4 f-stops too dark.
EVERY other of our applications INCLUDING ADOBE BRIDGE AND FIREWORKS, and even Photoshop itself during Save to Web, displays the photos as they should appear.
I've tried setting various profiles in Windows Color Management as the default, including the ICC profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (which my reading says we should be using), as well as WCS profiles sRGB virtual and scRGB virtual, and tried using no profile at all. None of these changes makes any apparent difference at all to the images we're seeing.
In Photoshop, I've tried various options too. If set to Monitor Color (Monitor RGB - * wscRGB) Photoshop then displays images as it should. However the Camera Raw display when loading Nikon images is still much too dark, and the Photoshop Save to Web images are much too light. Arrrgh!
The monitor does not include any driver software, just electronic documentation (poorly edited) which offers no advice about this. I've seen references to various Gamma utilities, but not sure that's what I need. Is it?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
TIA

Thanks Peter & Sid. I appreciate the advice, but it doesn't match our experience over 12 years of designing web applications so I'm having trouble understanding what's different, can I ask for any more advice you might have?
If we calibrate the monitor using the recommended tools, will Photoshop images look 2-3 f-stops brighter (i.e. as they should look) and will images in all other apps (which look fine now, have always looked fine) look 2-3 f-stops too bright? Or would we be changing JUST the way Photoshop sees the images?
Through probably a dozen different previous CRT and LCD monitors, we've never calibrated anything. Even on our immediately-previous Samsung 213T monitor, images appear pretty much the same in Photoshop as they do in all other places. That includes published web sites viewed with several popular browsers and viewed on literally hundreds of different systems inside and outside of our office.
The previous monitor was being used with exactly the same software and hardware as the new one. The only thing that's changed is the monitor.
Peter asks about brightness or white point luminance. I haven't used any tool to determine that. The monitor is set to 50% brightness, for whatever that's worth, but I can tell you that it is substantially BRIGHTER on white than the previous monitor. The previous Samsung monitor is being run side-by-side with the new one, and it looks quite dull and yellow beside the new one (and we thought it was a great monitor!) The new 30" Samsung has MUCH whiter whites. Does that help even a little?
Thanks for any further advice.

Stretching "text" when going fullscreen, making it hard to read. Using Latitude E7240 notebook 16:9 1366x768 connected to a 16:10 1440x900 sms22a450 samsung monitor. Any way to fix without buying new notebook?

Basically what the title says.
The rendered text is fine when I'm not using full-screen, but as soon as I change it to full-screen the text becomes blurry (most likely tied to the difference in native resolution and aspect ratios).
Using a Latitude E7240 notebook docked and connected to a Samsung SMS22A450 monitor. The notebook has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with native resolution of 1366x768 while the samsung monitor has 16:10 1440x900.
Have tried fiddling with the resolutions, aspect ratios, Windows ClearType, DVI, HDMI, DP.
Is there any setting or something I can do inside of Adobe Reader to maybe fix this problem? Full-screen is very nice when I'm reading study material so I'd love to be able to use it.
Thanks in advance!

You can try to play with the Display settings
You can change the display resolution and the type of Display (Monitor vs Laptop/LCD). I have no problem with huge displays, Mac or PC, using a 2nd monitor with or without mirroring the second monitor.

Samsung Monitor for MacBook Pro

My husband just purchased a Samsung Monitor, model # 226BW for my MacBook Pro. The instructions for the monitor only refer to Windows with no mention of Mac OS X. Can this monitor be used with the MacBook Pro? My husband researched monitors that were supposed to be compatible with MacBook Pro and this one came up as one that would be. Thanks.

That is completely normal behavior. How do you want to use the monitor?
Most of what you want to adjust is in System Preferences -> Displays. If the display is on and connected, you get a separate control window on each monitor. You can control how the external display appears to connect to the laptop screen (right, left, above, below, etc.) You can also turn the display on to "mirroring" which will show the same thing on both screens.
If you want to use the external display alone, you'll have to attach a mouse and keyboard (USB or bluetooth). Then, you can close the MBP and it'll just use the external screen.
There shouldn't be any compatibility issues at all.
