Slight glitches in Source/Canvas monitor with CUDA MPE only

i7 3930k, Win 7 64-bit, EVGA GTX 570HD (2.5GB version). Everything is working correctly and stable (overall) . My one gripe is that when I toggle between CUDA MPE and software MPE, the software MPE is actually smoother in many cases. The CUDA is obviously working, but I get almost a slight shimmer running up the video (not tearing) , nothing terrible but certainly annoying. Its always about half way up the video where the shimmer starts and goes up to the top and disappears. Skipping through the video one frame at a time reveals nothing, its not in the source video, this has to do with decoding or aliasing.
It happens also at 100% pixel for pixel monitoring , I wanted to see if it was an aliasing issue, but the situation still occurs. Software MPE playback does not exhibit this glitch, so I've narrowed it down. The main question is are there NVIDIA settings in the control panel that may be not quite right? I've tried the defaults, and tweaked some of the settings, but there are a lot of options and I'm not sure which might effect the playback.
Seems to happen the most with H.264 canon files and some ProRes stuff I've imported, but then again turning off the CUDA MPE makes the problem go away....
Not a HDD or processor issue, those I've checked for certain.
I am running the new 6.0.2, but it happened before as well.
Already made sure the cores weren't parking, and they are all active....
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any help !

Hey I've been working on this with a few different systems as to try to figure out what is going on. First I am working on a Mac Mini 2011 i7 Quad with the crappy Intel 3000 low end 512MB graphics , and software MPE with the same H264 and ProRes files look flawless. Same with another PC Win7/64 HP Probook laptop I have, again with no GPU acceleration.
Last week I picked up Adobe PP6 classroom in a book and may have stumbled upon something. Maybe not.
Anyway on page 39, there is a paragraph on Maximum bit depth and Render quality settings, as specified in the sequence settings tab.
"If you enable Maximum Render Quality or if you have GPU acceleration, Adobe Premiere Pro uses a more advanced system for scaling images smaller. Without this option, you may see artifacts or noise in the picture when making images smaller. Without GPU acceleration, this option will impact performance."
Hmmmm... So I only see the "isssue" with the GPU enabled, and neither of those Maximum bit depth or Render quality options enabled on my projects. Yet without the GPU acceleration (MPE software only) and these options also not enabled, everything is fine (on my Mac Mini, my HP ProBook, and my PC where I am seeing the issue). This jives with my experience, so I am going to check those two options Monday when I get back to the office and see if that doesn't solve the issue. As if the preview monitors when GPU accelerated, almost default to a "draft" mode of rescaling/alising, this is perhaps what I am seeing. Blazing performance at the expense of a little image quality.
The computer is so understressed during H.264 playback, I'm seeing like 8% CPU total resource usage, that I can surely afford to crank up the quality and not see any kind of dropped frames. In fact when I view the 1080p @ half resolution, I still see the slight shimmer. And this is off an OCZ Vertex 4 via SATA 6g where I'm reading 450MB/sec without breaking a sweat.

Set up of System Monitoring with SPS 15 only through "Work center"

Hi!
We use SAP Solution Manager SPS 15 and would like to set up System Monitoring function in order to monitor satellite systems.
Is is only possible as of SPS 15 with tcode "solman_workcenter"?
I have heared as of SPS 15 the tcode "dswp" provides only Display view...
Thank you very much!
regards
H. Thomasson

Hello
Is is only possible as of SPS 15 with tcode "solman_workcenter"?
--> If you want to configure Solution Monitoring, you can follow rkt in service market place. With SP15, SAP has given additional functionality to access solutions or projects through work centers. Now its up to you to use this functionality or you can directly go to solution_manager or DSWP to configure, doesnt matter.
I have heared as of SPS 15 the tcode "dswp" provides only Display view...
--> Have you tried? Its not Display, either way through work center you are going to access the same transaction. Please check.

Blue hue on monitor with specific user only

I was talking on Skype with my parents' PowerPC G5 while holding my 1-year old daughter. Everything was fine until she started hitting the keyboard. All of a sudden, everything on the screen turned a bluish hue. Everywhere I navigate on my mom's user account is this bluish hue, for example, on Safari, desktop, etc. When I switch to my father's account, the color is back to normal. I thought she might have loosened a cord or something, but everything's fine on my father's side. Does anyone know what my daughter might have done, and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, and move the Contrast slider all the way to the left.

Premiere CC to AME - H.264 nightmare rendering problems with CUDA on rMBP

I've been struggling for weeks trying to troubleshoot and narrow down my encoding nightmare on my own and I have finally succumbed to getting the forum's or Adobe's Help.
Problem:
Rendering a Premiere Pro CC project with via Export Media > Queue to AME in H.264 causes the encode to randomly fail on multiple projects.
I find it quite amazing that this error happens as I surely am not the only one rendering ProRes to H.264 on a new Macbook Pro!
Symptom:
Output preview starts to flicker then encoding stops randomly, preview window turns to a black screen or simply stalls while the Elapsed Time keeps rolling, PProheadless crashes in Console, encoding sometimes resumes after several minutes post the crash (but sometimes not) however the final output in such case is garbled before/after the crash. Computer is useable. All other software shutdown. Not using computer during encode. Can reproduce virtually every time.

Attempts to solve the issue:
Tried encoding without external montior
Tried encoding with source on internal HDD, output internal HDD, source exterbak RAID, output internal HDD
Tried encoding with AME while Premiere is open in the background and without it opened in the background
Uninstalled other software that could mess with the graphics: Colormunki, Parallels.
Software mode is fine on all attempts in AME however encoding takes 2-3x longer. On a $3000 laptop it's not really great.
Encoding directly via Export Media > Export without Queuing to Adobe Media Encoder seems to work fine. I have not tried this too many times because I need to render multiple outputs and doing it without AME means a lot of 'sitting and waiting' to click Export for the next format. This is not an option.
Tried deleting the Media Cache
Completely reinstalled OS X 10.8.4 from scratch with no other software running and tried to export. Same problem.
Performed Apple hardward test. No problems.
To Test:
I'm planning on installing Bootcamp so I can test the problem in the Windows version and I could pinpoint it to a hardware problem rather than a software problem.
Notes:
Problem happens with CUDA and Open CL modes although in Open CL mode, the whole computer tends to freeze intead of just 'stalling'.
Editing and playback inside Premiere is OK! Even encoding out of Premiere is OK directly but not useful for me as I need to render each project to 5 different H.264 formats.
I hope you guys or Adobe's Support can find a solution to this problem because I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I've submitted a bug report but their reply is not very comforting:
but their bug report says "Due to the volume of submissions we receive, responses to inquiries are generally not possible. However, we may contact you if we need clarification on your submission." Nice.

Yes I considered your "solution" of just upgrading to Adobe CC but on principal I don't want to have to shell out more money to "fix" the problem. I was able to get an Adobe technician to view my screen in real time. He asked me where Prem Pro was after I opened it and my response was "precisely". The only evidence that Prem Pro is open is that there is the taskbar there with what appears to be fully functional drop down tabs but as far as the panels/workspace goes non-existent! He has "escalated" the matter I'll let you know what occurs next. I have tried using the software mode and there is no change. Like you I have wondered about a hardware proplem but I have checked via Disk Utility and there doesn't appear to be any? The CUDA issue well a) I am not sure how I would revert to previous drivers and b) when I re-installed Prem Pro from disc (that's version 6.0.0.) the only render option it gave me was Software only but that was also greyed out. Prem Pro still did not open up as it should!
I'll let you know what transpires.

Premiere CC 2014.2 won't play source/program monitor

I recently installed Adobe Premiere CC 2014.2, and since then no video plays within it, or the source and monitor or the program monitor. I'm on a Dell Inspiron notebook 2.1gh i7, 8GB memory, Intel HD Graphics 4000, ATI Radeon HD 7700m. Was usually working with the previous version, but now despite render normally, he does not play in the Premiere.

20" Monitor with (Built-in iSight?)

As soon as Apple updates the 20" monitor with built-in iSight I will be buying one and connecting my Macbook, then retiring my iMac iSight to my wife. Hurry up Apple with the upgrade.
Now for the technical question:
If Apple indeed adds iSight to it's line of monitors and since all the new computers Apple is building these days already have iSight built-in will my dream configuration work.
I know the external iSight works when connected, however there are minor glitches when shutting down, sleeping....

dig a little deeper next time
D/FW, there nothing to dig for. You're asking for functionality and behaviour of a product that does not exist. You're better off speculating in a rumours forum.

Viewing on external monitor with ADVC-100 and s video

I am trying to view my canvas on a external monitor. I have a canopus ADVC-100 and i am using the firewire input and the s video as the output in the back. When I try to set it up and i select view all frames, but when i go to the video output menu it says my firewire device is missing. Any hints or tips on what i am doing wrong. I am using the s-video because the monitor only has a components input available, the RCA's are already occupied.

Is the ADVC powered? When you connect firewire to the back of the unit, it gets powered by that connector, but the firewire jack on the front is only 4-pin and doesn't support power.
If you have a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, try connecting it to the back of the ADVC110 and then the front of the box should light up, indicating power.
I'm having a similar issue. I can print to tape via the Canopus box, but I want to be able to drive a monitor with it just so I can have an NTSC monitor while I'm editing. I can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

Calibrating my monitor with other monitors

I have calibrated my monitor so that output to my personal printer is spot-on. But when I give a CD of digital images that look good on my monitor to someone else, they look washed-out on his/her monitor. Is there a way to standardize monitors, LCD or CRT or TV, Mac and PC?
Also, is there a way of sending a file of my monitor's calibration so that an end user can "plug it in" to their monitor settings so his/her photos can look similar to how I saw them?
Imac Mac OS X (10.3.4)

Each monitor, even lcd monitors are slightly different. So even if you did send a profile,they would still not exactly match. The easiest way is to buy a monitor calibrator and each of you calibrate your monitors with it. That would be the closest match possible.

Dual Monitor with PXI-8108

I am trying to use dual monitors with a PXI-8108 and the NI DVI splitter as described here
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0E993D33675CD46A862572D50072C6A3
There must be some software update I need because I don't not have an option for the second monitor? Does anyone
know what I may need to update, possibly the graphics driver, and where to find it?
I have (2) mobile intel 4 series express chipset family listed under my device manager
driver version 6.14.10.5009

Are you trying to use three monitors with the setup in question there? Adding another set of splitters could impact the signal quality depending on your monitors and needs.
I'm not aware of a specific test with that setup, but given the correct adapter types and correct signal sources on each adapter, I would imagine you may be able to get it to work.
Again, as with the above posts, reference the linked Discussion Forum thread in the first post here, as you are going to be looking at similar questions in that case.

Monitoring with tv

What settings do I use to monitor with my tv. I have my firewire connectied to my dv camera and the camera connected to the vcr.

Great minds post LONG explainations!
#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

Using B&W monitor with Beige G3

I would like to use a B&W monitor with the older Beige G3 computer. I know I would need an adapter but what kind and where can I get one? I see adapters at the Apple website but have no idea which one I should use.
Also, how can I use a USB Hub with it? Can I hook up the internet etc on the Beige G3? Right now I think, if I remember right, it still has 8.6 on it, but I'll probably want to up grade the system.
Thanks

Hello Susan,
As the MacHead says, adapters may be found on eBay without too much trouble - try to find one with a good picture, as there are several varieties (for converting both directions) - but you're really better off with a good graphics card. My favourite is the 32MB Radeon Mac (not 7000) PCI version (not AGP); they pop up every week or two on eBay and run about $25.
As to USB, beware the USB gremlins! If you simply buy a USB card and plug it in, it doesn't work. In order for the Mac Operating System to "see" the USB card, you have to reinstall the Operating System from a retail, full install OS CD with the USB card already in place. If you're thinking of upgrading to OS9, now is the time to do it; just get that full install orange-nine-on-a-white-background OS9 CD, remember to plug the USB card in first, install OS9 and you're all set. It will work as if it came that way. I like the Orange Micro combination USB/firewire card (eBay again), but Keyspan, Macally, SIIG, Belkin, generic, have all worked for me.
I haven't tried a USB hub on the beige G3 - I've just reached behind it - but I can't see that it wouldn't work.
applerescue.com used to be a good source for OS9 CDs, but it's site seems to be unresponsive; eBay is not a good source for OS9 CDs, since there are a lot of people trying to sell you grey labels, burned copies, true copies, copies that ought to work (but don't), &c.,&c. If you need, I'm sure someone here has another good source.
OS9 - or 8.6 - should work just fine on the internet, although sometimes your ISP will not be familiar with it and try to tell you it can't be done. That's because they haven't run their standardised tests on OS9, and don't feel they can guarantee it (or because their installer has never seen it before). Insist.
A router is a handy accessory at this point for security and spam avoidance; if your ISP doesn't supply one, get it yourself.
Anyhow, hope that helps, and good luck!

p.s. update: yes, the video card will have a different plug sticking out the back - a "VGA" plug instead of a "DB15" - three rows of (fewer) little holes instead of two.

Missed event monitor with event reset

I have pretty simple request for Scom monitoring, but I don’t know how to do it. My application generates an event in custom log with name Mpis. Event level is Informational, Event ID is 10 and source is Mpis. This event is created every
5 minutes. If application failed, event isn’t created. I have a need to create an alert, if event isn’t created more than one hour and monitor must go into unhealthy state (red). If same event come back, monitor must resolve itself and go back to healthy (green).
I try doing this with missed event monitor with event reset, but they don’t work as I expected, probably because I use the same event for trigger an alert and resolve an alert. Any idea ?

There must be something misconfigured. Missed Event Detection -> Windows Event Reset is the correct one.
Use Event ID 10 and Source Mpis as expression in both Simple Event Expression and Missing Event Expression. in Missing Event Detection, use "Based on fixed simple recurring Schedule" and choose 60 minutes/1 hour.
I have configured this in my environment, and this works perfectly; if no events are logged within an hour, i get an alert. If i then create the event, the alert Closes.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC. My OS is Windows 7. I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station. This new laptop does not have a docking station. What do I need to get to use two external monitors?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming. HP makes no true docking station for your laptop.
