Sony DSR-45A? Possible for NTSC Monitor Playback from Quicktime?

Title says it all.
We have a new Mac Pro with two 22" monitors using both of the graphic car DVI ports.
However with have this beatiful 60 inch monitor next to us that we would like to hook it up to.
The monitor has BNC Component connections, VGA connections, A/V Connections, and more.
We have a Sony DSR-45A deck hook up to our computer via firewire.
We hooked up the deck using the component BNC cables.
I know in Final Cut Pro we can run footage back and forth from the deck to the computer and back into the monitor for playback.
What I would like to know is if Quicktime could also read the DSR-45A and play stuff on the NTSC monitor or if there is any other program that can playback footage on the monitor through the DSR45A.
Or am I out of luck and should just suck it up and get 2nd graphics card.
Please note I just spent $20,000 If i can save $600 by getting around not buying a graphics card I would love to.
Please not computer info on bottom is my home comp not my work.

Is it possible for me to upgrade from an intel core duo processor to an intel i5 core processor?, Is it possible for me to upgrade from an intel core duo processor to an intel i5 core processor?

Hey guys, please help me out. I am an owner of a MacBook Pro with software 10.6.8 and I have a 2 GHz intel core duo processor, and I was wondering, if it is possible for me to upgrade to an i5 intel core processor, so I can install mavericks to my MacBook Pro.

There is no way to plug in a different processor on your older MacBook. Processors have been soldered in for quite a long time.
The only known method is to convert your MacBook to Cash (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a MacBook that better meets your needs.

Found an older Sony DSR-PD100A DVCAM for $25 at Goodwill. Will Premiere Pro CC handle this format?

Hello all;
Found this nice triple CCD mini-DV cam cheap and it works well. I have no experience with the Sony DVCAM format, so am unsure how PPro would respond.
Tape is a pain, but some of the things I shoot only require SD video. IIRC, this format puts a low load on the CPU, so maybe editing with it is worth the effort?
Lastly, would I have to buy some kind of digitizing card, or only a Firewire port card? Seems that as I think back, folks using mini-DV had to buy capture cards for their computers.
Would using this cam with PPro require all sorts of additional equipment, like decks?
Thanks,
JE

It looks like the camera has an ilink connector (firewire). If your computer has a Firewire port you should be able copy from the tape to the pc using Premiere. As you said, you might have to buy a firewire card.

Is it possible to start timeline playback from a script?

I'm looking for a way to incorporate the timeline's "play command" (space when using keyboard shortcuts) in my script.
If it is possible to do so I'm able to create a rudimentary flicking/flipping function to aid users in their animation process.
(The scriptListener plugin wont leave any traces btw)
Any help or advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Patrick Deen

It seems a work-around might be possible but I also do not know a direct approach for this.

Hi shineypence,
Sorry - no way to do that. The amount in your iTunes account must remain in that account.

Aspect ratio of NTSC monitor display

We're working on a FCP 4.5 project that's shot 16:9, and displays with the correct widescreen aspect in the canvas window (so long as pixels are displayed square). However, when I run mirrored video through a Sony DSR11 deck to an NTSC monitor, the picture appears stretched vertically (to fill the screen). How can I correct the aspect of the display in the monitor?
Thanks
Matt Clifton

If I read right the poster is working anamorphic and wants to monitor it properly. Anything that creates a letterboxed display on 4:3 (including a deck conversion will not be monitoring the true signal. It will be a downrezzed and substantially mashed version.
If you need to truly monitor anamorphic output, just "anamorph" the monitor - see above.

Video playback from PB17 to Sony TV firewire port ?

I'm wondering if it's possible to get video playback from my PowerBook 17 to a Sony HDTV firewire port ? I can't see in prefs where you can do this. Is there some software that enables this? I tried to select firewire playback from Final Cut Pro even and that didn't work either. The TV recognises the Powerbook. I don't think it's possible but why not try?
Powerbook G4 1.33GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB RAM + I want Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB HD

This is what abrody has to say on the subject.
Yes, but only at 720 x 480 resolution. Some TVs offer higher resolutions and DVI ports where you can do a DVI to DVI connection. And actually there was a dongle which came with your Powerbook which supports S-Video via its S-Video port.

Is it possible to enable DOM events from a dynamically inserted QuickTime?

QuickTime in IE uses an <object> as a 'behaviour' template in order to enable DOM events. The behaviour <object> is referenced from the QuickTime plugin instance with IE's behavior style: style="behavior: url(#idof_behaviorobject)".
This works great for all QuickTime <object> instances declared before window.onload, but QuickTime <object> instances inserted into the DOM after that do not pick up the DOM events behaviour.
I do not know exactly how behaviour styles work and what I've read so far hasn't made me any the wiser. Are behaviours called on elements that reference them, only on page load, and therefore can't be picked up later?
Are there any known workarounds for enabling DOM events from QuickTime objects inserted after page load?
Just so you know - I've tried various methods of DOM insertion - innerHTML, createElement, and calling iframes with their own html page containing the necessary objects. None of these work for enabling DOM events on insertion after page load.
( P.S. I've cross-posted this question on stackoverflow here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1336678/is-it-possible-to-enable-dom-events-f rom-a-dynamically-inserted-quicktime-object
If I get a working answer I'll copy it across. )

I found forwarding the impl_processMouseEvent kind of works ... except when the graphics of the transparent child window floats over the owner window's chrome elements - in particular the title bar, minimise/maximise and resized borders won't accept forwarded mouse events this way.
Not true mouse transparency.

NTSC Monitor for Pro CS3

I'm a bit embarrassed to post this, but have not been successful at finding the answer in a search.
When I am running w/ dual monitors and an NTSC monitor, what do I need to do w/ PPro so it outputs just the video (or program video, if you will) to the NTSC monitor - vs. outputting what you would normally see on the computer monitor. I assume it is in the ppro set up menu somewhere.
For now I am running CS3 (soon to upgrade to CS5) - I have the GeForce GTX 470 video card and dual monitors. I just recently purchased a NTSC monitor w/ a HDMI input so I've never had to worry about this, but I've grown tired of burning a DVD only to run up stairs to check color on a television (vs. the computer monitor). I (incorrectly) assumed the card would support dual montiors and a NTSC monitor (I realize this is now being a hardware question) because it also had an HDMI out. That being said, I've was able to find some info on this site (which I love btw) and saw that I could add another video card to supply video to a NTSC monitor.....but I still don't know how to limit the source of either card to the video out put of PPro.
Hope that makes sense...any help would be appreciated.
C.

Since I haven't actually done this, so can't be sure if there is a possible problem, follow at your own risk
Premiere will only recognize 1 graphics card for hardware acceleration, so adding a second card doesn't help on that front. Having said that, I would expect you could add a lower cost graphics card to run more monitors, which I have done and it works fine.
Now, as far as running the signal to a TV/monitor it follows that if you get a card that supports the type of output you desire to run the TV/monitor then it all takes care of itself from there.
On my 2 monitor setup I undock the playback monitor and drag it to the second screen where I can make it larger for better viewing of detail. Seems like you should be able to just drag it over to the TV/monitor then when you are ready to watch the playback there instead of on the computer monitor.
Seems straight forward, but perhaps someone who has actually done this will chime in. There may even be a way to duplicate the playback monitor on multiple screens so you can watch it playing on both the computer monitor and the TV/monitor at the same time?? But I'm guessing that will require an external box to split the output signal to the different destinations.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Can't see video on NTSC Monitor During Playback

Since loading FCPS2, I can't get video output to my NTSC Monitor

#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

Playback on External NTSC Monitor

My deck in my non-linear editing system is the Panasonic AG-DV2500. I have always had an external "client monitor" which was a Sony NTSC studio monitor hooked up to the "output" of the deck. This time, I have one of the Sony LCD studio monitors. When I capture, the video in the capture window is in sync with the NTSC monitor. But when I put the captured video on the timeline and play it, the video and audio is out of sync on the external NTSC monitor. What am I doing wrong? There has always been a slight delay between the playback window in Premier and the external monitor, but not like this!

I guess it's more accurate to say that there is a dramatic delay in the video between what I'm seeing in the playback window on my computer monitor and what I'm seeing on the external NTSC monitor. The audio does not have that delay, so on the external monitor the audio and video are out of sync. It makes it difficult to show anyone what you're working on, which is what the "client" monitor is supposed to do.

My HD TV as NTSC Monitor for secondary color correction

Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel? What cable I can use to conect via HDMI? Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor? will my TV do a decent job for NTSC? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?

Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel?
Yes, but I would only trust it if you are going to be making DVDs, and ONLY if you properly set it up. I would not rely on it for broadcast color correction. The reason broadcast monitors exist is to have a standard...HDTVs don't have a standard. Go to best buy and look at all of them....none of them match. BUT, as a nice simple solution for DVD, I'd use it.
But the only way you are going to get a signal to it is with the Matrox MXO. It will do component to the monitor, or you can get a DVI to HDMI adapter...if you do that the MXO software will allow you to set the monitor up to color bars. That option is only available from of the DVI out of the box.
Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor?
No...it would be similar to color correcting NTSC on your home television...because that it what it is.
will my TV do a decent job for NTSC?
I doubt it. Taking an SD image and blowing it up huge on this HD TV...scaled up. I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't use it for SD color correction.
I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?
You have a DVI port on your MacBook Pro. And they make DVI to HDMI cable adapters I'm sure.

Is that true for all GoPro video formats or just some of the newer (higher resolution/frame rate) one? The GoPro has several different pre-sets and I typically like to get as much resolution as possible for my source and for highspeed subjects like sports I try to use higher framerates as well. Are you suggesting that I convert the source files to Cineform avi and then edit those resulting AVI's in CS6?

Drop Box - possible for other user to monitor progress?

Is it possible, for the user whose Drop Box I am tranferring files to, to monitor the progress so they can tell when an upload is complete to their Mac?
I get the progress window on my end, but they have no idea what is going on on their end.

Pretty difficult, iirc the Filesize required is reserved at the start, so Get Info wouldn't help.
Perhaps they could use Activity Monitor to observe the Network IN activity?
Most likely someway to monitor it with a Script, but beyond me at the moment... Maybe Sharepoints with AFP Monitor!
