Screen Share - Change what to display & video quality

Hi LCSS Team,
I have been playing around with screen share and have it working in collaborative (both ends can share/control their screens).
Upon initial selection of deskop/app/window, is there a way to allow users to change what to display without having to
start/stop?
Use case:
- User A is viewing user B screen. User B would like to change view from desktop to a specific window.
Also, the screen share video feed is very pixelated. I have tried it multiple settings including what you guys sent
me. I am trying to get it to Skype like quality. Is that even possible?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi octoguy,
iChat makes hardware and connection speed checks as it starts up.
This gives you the framerate and bit rate duirng a call.
Lets say that your processor gives your iChat 15 fps
This will be the rate that you will then see to a another Mac.
The same computer is likely to get 10 frames per sec to a PC.
This is some part due to the PC putting a fair amout of effort into producing a clear detailed pic.
On some PCs this setting for the video pic is so high that the audio will drop out completely.
The cure is to bring the PC preview to the front (tabs)
Then click on the small icon that appears to the right and adjusting the slider that appears to the left.
This will incease the frame rate and bit rate from the PC. It makes the video look smoother although the actual quality has gone down (you may not be able to judge this quality difference by eye)
As general rule you will get about 2/3rds of the normal Mac to Mac framerate shown in the Connection Doctor. It also seems to take about 50% more Connection speed to get the same quality video.
So Mac to Mac min is 100Kbps where as Mac to PC will need about 150kbps.
The quality drop from 15 frames a sec to 10 frames a sec does make the video generally more blocky but does also depend a fair bit on the processor power of the PC and the camera used.
I know that sounds a little vague but there are really many variables that can be a factor.

  • Is it possible to change what is displayed in the GAL in Exchange 2013

    We have always used [email protected] for our primary email addresses, and to facilitate this someone back in the days of Exchange 2003 decided it would be sensible to use the firstname.lastname
    format for our alias. This means our primary email does not match our UPN. Now, we are moving to Exchange 2013 and want to use autodiscover we find we need to change this so primary email and UPN are the same while still retaining the original email
    addresses. Easy enough change, powershell script to modify the alias, new address policy on the 2013 server and migrate your users, changes made for you.
    However, this has caused some concern amongst the senior management because it changes what is displayed in the GAL, so instead of the friendly first.last name listed under alias and the just as friendly
    [email protected] listed under email address it will now show the UPN as alias and
    [email protected] for email.
    I have now been asked to see if it is possible to modify the details displayed in the GAL, I know you could in previous versions of Exchange using things like EMC, but I don't see any way of doing this in 2013.
    Is this possible, and if so how?

    You can use the Details Template to change what the GAL shows.

  • Will screen protector film lower retina display's quality?

    Will screen protector film lower retina display's quality? If not at all, which one can you recommend (bubble free, guarantee, easy to install). I am studying graphic and web design and do not want the lose the quality of the screen. Thanks!

    Yes I meant anti-glare, sorry about that
    I am very against the idea of keyboard covers because they make the keys feel very "mushy" and they lose that clicky feeling. They wont protect your Mac from spills but they will protect your keyboard from dust and hair from getting in, if that's a concern of yours.
    A carrying sleeve is a very good idea because I hate getting unsightly dents/scratches on my Mac. But I personally prefer using a hard shell case instead because it protects your Mac while you're using it, rather than just when your Mac is being carried.
    As for cleaning it, I use a microfiber cloth I got with my glasses to clean the screen. I use a paper towel with some water to clean the rest of the body (make sure it's off first ) I cleaned my keyboard for the first time after 4 years of having it and it was pretty filthy. You can just pull the keycap straight off the Mac to clean underneath using a q-tip. Be careful with this because it may be difficult to put the keycap back in properly. The most important cleaning you can do is unscrewing the bottom off and using some compressed air to blow out the dust. I'd recommend doing this once a year.

  • 30" cinema display video quality

    Just wondering. Maybe its just me but the video quality on the 30" when I'm playing a dvd isn't the greatest. I was expecting a lot more. The image is quite pixelated. Is it the monitor or the dvd or the G5 or everything. I would have thought a monitor would have superior image quality over any other screen.

    please realize that DVD's use a resolution of 720x480, your 30" display is 2560x1920 or something like that, so when you are running a DVD full screen of course it is not going to look to hot.
    That is just how it goes unfortunately.
    Unless you have it connected to a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player, etc. runnint at 1080p (1920x1080) DVD's are not going to look like they would on a lower resolution TV.
    Until they release DVD's at a resolution of 2560x1920 or higher, you aren't going to see super quality video from a DVD, on that display.
    hope that answers your question. it is not just you either, DVD's don't look very good on basically any computer screen out their actually, the resolution is just much much lower unfortunately.

  • What is the video quality loss going Mac to PC vs Mac to Mac?

    Here's the deal, my wife is in the hospital and forced to miss her daughters wedding. I'm trying to sort out an iChat from Louisiana to Texas so she can watch the wedding live and ideally let her daughter see her mom during the ceremony. I've not been able to establish an ichat link into the hospital due to the 'does not reply' demon. So I know its a port issue but this huge hospital is PC only, totally mac ignorant but super willing to put a hot shot PC in my wifes room. My question is what am I giving up by not going mac to mac and giving in on a PC at the receiving end? Are the benefits of the h264 codec only available on the mac to mac solution? Will the video received on the PC be smooth or choppy? What about in a full screen mode? (I guess AIM Trillion is the only option for that)
    I'll be transmitting using a G4 Powerbook, 10.4.6, 256mgb ram. iChat 3. I'll be shooting with a digital video camera with firewire output. I've tested that, it all works fine in recent chats with other macs. I'll be sending over Earthlink DSL line, 256kbps up/3mgbs download. The Hospitals bandwidth is T-1 huge so not a problem. I'm just afraid I'm not going to get them to sort out the issues for a mac and will have to give in to a PC.
    Appreciate your thoughts. j

  • Infotype Screen control - change field from display to change

    Hello,
    I have a field in a custom infotype, which is showing up as only display. I want to change it so that values can be input. I checked the screen layout in se51 and found that the field is checked as input possible field. There is no entry for this infotype in T588M. I am not sure, where else should I look so that i can change to field to take the input. Please suggest.
    Thank you very much !
    Rush

    Hello Everyone,
    I checked in Module pool Program. The program is written to check the field for some personnel areas. Now, when i did debug, I found that PSYST-werks is not read correctly. Suppose if there are 3 records in infotype 0001, its getting the first record value, not the recent record value. Any suggestions how to change the code, so that the PSYST get the recent record value?
    Sikindar, T588M do not have entry for this table. thank you.
    Jayanthi thank you for your help too.

  • How do i change what is displayed when i open a new tab?

    When i open a new tab it automatically comes up with Yahoo search engine in the new tab. I want change this to a google search tab. How do i do that?

    Opening Yahoo in a new tab is caused by a Yahoo related extension, possibly net assistant. To stop it going to Yahoo you can uninstall that extension.
    For an option to open new tabs to a site of your choosing, you can use the NewTabURL extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • HT2589 How do I change what is displayed when I rate an app?

    The name that shows up is not my Apple ID and I cannot find anywhere to edit this information but it shows up on all reviews that I write.

    Hello er-apple,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the name displayed when writing reviews.  It sounds like you need to update your Nickname for your Apple ID. 
    You can update this by going to the Store menu in iTunes on your computer.  Select Store > View My Apple ID, and from there, you will see your account information.  Near the bottom, you will see a Settings section which will list your Nickname; click Edit to the right of Nickname and update it to the name you would like to use.

  • Variable to display topics changes what it displays

    I am using a template that someone else created. It's designed to set the topic titles using the $$DisplayTopicTitle$$ and an 'Execute advanced action" to Set Topic Title. The published Cap 4 mod publishes fine. Each slide has a Next, Back and a Menu button. Moving through it the first time it looks good-although you can see the variable for a micro second before it draws the topic title to the top of the page.
    The slow draw time is a drag-maybe I could live with it. But when I hit the Back button, all the titles just display 'true'. I don't understand either of these issues. Am I doing sonething wrong?
    Thanks in advance!
    JT

    Hi there
    One thing you might wish to try would be to click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and configure for AS3.
    This should help the momentary flash, but I'm not sure about the "True" you are seeing.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Seeking method to change what is displayed in Filter-- Focal length

    When in Bridge under the Filter tab-->Focal length what I have listed is 5mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 6.2mm, 6.3mm, 6.5mm etc. etc. and the list goes on and on. The conclusion being that this list is way too lo0ng to serve as a good filter to me.
    I sold all of my lenses 2 years ago and replaced them with one zoom lens (and at times a pocket camera also with a zoom). I couldn't care less if the photo was taken at 6mm or 6.2mm. To me they are just about the same thing. However, I would like it if it actually game me a range say 5mm-10mm; 10.1 mm-15mm etc. Now the filter makes sense to me being more manageable. Is there any way of making it so?
    In other words I no longer want to see:
    5.8mm,
    6mm,
    6.2mm,
    6.3mm,
    6.5mm
    But would like instead to see:
    5mm--10mm
    10.1mm--15mm
    15.1mm--20mm
    Which are in increments of 5, BUT, increments of 10 would be fine as well or even better.
    Thank you

    Doesn't anyone like my question? :-(

  • Publish+Share signifcantly reduces video quality in Premiere Elements 13

    As the title states, whenever I publish and share a video in Premiere Elements 13, the video quality is drastically reduced to an almost unwatchable level compared to the original video  This is even the case before any effects are added to the video.  If I add the media to the timeline and then directly publish+share before any changes are done, the video quality is still ruined.  When I click play full screen in elements, the quality and resolution is exactly where I want it, but once again, when I share the video, it's essentially destroyed.
    When I play the newly created video there is giant black space above, below and to the sides of the video (where there is none in the original) and movement in the movie causes the video to grain with black lines.
    I have been playing around with settings and researching online for a long time now but I can't seem to find the solution.  What I have been doing is going publish+share, ---> Computer, ---> AVI.  Then in advanced settings the video codec is selected to DV NTSC, and the basic video settings which are locked in (which I can't change) are set to quality 100, width 720, height 480.  The Aspect is D1/DV NTSC (0.9091).  I have selected render at maximum depth.  I have also tried saving it as MPEG and other video types but the result is the same.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I understand that I am new and have lots to learn, but it seams so strange to me that the simple process of putting a video in Elements would essentially destroy it.  Thanks again.

    It was not until Mary Lou Frost posted in your thread today that I realized that I did not see and reply to your questions in post 4 of your thread (dated December 15, 2014). Sorry about that.
    If you want to match up the properties of the export file with the properties of the Timeline source media, often you need to direct your attention to
    a. Publish+Share/Computer/......and trying to match up the video (especially) and audio compressions of the import with those of the export choice.
    b. A frequent cause of a difference between import file size and export file size is the bitrate used by these files. The higher the bitrate, the greater the quality, but
    the larger is the file size. So, trying to match import file and export file bitrates is also on the agenda. See the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and the settings
    there for bitrate. The units for bitrate will be either kbps kilobits per second (also seen as Kbps) or Mbps megabits per second. We can go into that further if necessary.
    Premiere Elements allows for the setting of one project preset which should match the properties of the source files. If you have "mixed source files", setting up the
    project can become a challenge. The rule of thumb that I typically use involves setting priorities...
    1. If videos and stills, I will set for the properties of the video and then size (or let the project size) the still to the frame size of the video
    2. If just stills, I try for 1920 x 1080 stills and import them using a DLSR 1080p project preset...that seems to give sharper end product results when doing burn to disc.
    Please review and consider and let me know if I have targeted your questions. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I try to respond daily to questions, so, if you do not see a timely, response, please send me an Adobe Forum private message asking me "What happened to you?".
    Best wishes.

  • No Screen Share Now...What Gives

    Situation....Two imacs. Both have Airport Extreme Router wireless. We were screen sharing for nearly 30 minutes. Everything was fine. We disconnected. About an hour later we tried to connect for another screen share session. This time everything goes through as normal except that my little box continues to say STARTING SCREEN SHARE. Meanwhile I can hear the other party on the other end and we can talk and that good stuff. However, after several minutes I still can not see their desktop. We tired 4-5 connects all with the same results. 2 restarts were also administered. We then tried to connect for a video chat. Everything went FINE with that. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you got System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab set at 1.5Mbps ?
    Restart iChat if you Change.
    Open the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) during a Screen Share
    In the Statistics it should tell you you are using about 45-50kbps for a Screen Share.
    What figure do you see ? (An Audio only chat will come in about 25-30kbps)
    The Screen Sharing actually happens on a random ports with a parallel Audio connection n port 16402.
    Are you using UPnP in your routing device to allow Ports ?

  • Screen Share frame stops

    Hi Guys,
    I got screen share running pretty well now. Quality is as good as it can be but what I am running into the freezing frames
    every few seconds. I can see flash animations run on the host PC that is streaming to mine but every 5 to 7 seconds, the
    frame stop for about two seconds and it keeps going. This has happens every 5 to 7 seconds.
    Any ideas on how to get rid of that?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Unfortunately, screensharing isn't really great for sharing animations -
    it's CPU intensive to capture, encode, and send frames, so in general it
    won't be able to keep up with an animation's speed.
