Sony KDS-70XBR2 " green blob" issue

Ok today I called Best Buy service and was surprised to say the experience was exceptional. They were helpful and knowledgeable and got me a new part ordered and Service called booked in about Minis.
For those of you with a Sony rear projection TV you need to know that Sony has a class action suit and lost for the optical blocks in the RP sets. Probably why they discontinued this model. The geek squad knew of the issue and added that this was a case where Sony went cheap on a adhesive in the optical block and they are paying for it now.
The replacement is very hard so nothing you can do by yourself. Oh and to buy a new optical block you are looking at about 900-1500 dollars.
This is a good link with lots of info regarding this optical block issue;

I wanted to let people know I had a GREAT experience today and hopefully my set is back to being spectacular as it was a couple of days ago before the " green blob" appeared.
I will post back here to tell you how I made out.

Thank you for being conscientious enough to post a positive experience.
The Sony "green blob" issue is far more widespread than SOny would have you believe. Their LCoS system, meant to try and rival the superior DLP light engine, was never really what it was supposed to be. That is why LCoS and D-ILA died a rather quick death in the industry, lasting only 3 or 4 years. In the end, the technology was far too cokplicated, was still LCD based, and could not compete with DLP for picture quality.

Help hooking up my Sony KDS-60A2000

I just bought a Sony KDS-60A2000 hd television. I have a Belkin cable to hook my Mini to the HDMI input on the Sony. I hooked everything up and the Mini came up on the Sony. The picture then became gradually snowy then went black. I have been unable to get it to work since. Suggestions?

I have actually changed course on how I am going to hook up the mini. First off the Mini is a G4 and not a new Intel. In the manual for the Sony it says to not hook up a computer to the HDMI input. The Sony does have a PC input which is an RGB connector I believe. It says to use an HD15-HD15 cable. So now my updated question is what do I need to hook the Mini up to the Sony using the PC input? Thanks.

Potential workaround for green frame issue

Hi,
We are sorry for the the inconvenience caused by green frame issue on some laptop models.
To work around the issue that some users are experiencing in the 1.6 version on specific machines, current suggestions is to add 3 more lines above the last two lines of shared.xml that is located in the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c\LocalState
Note: Make sure Skype is closed (press ALT+F4 with the Skype app open) while you are modifying shared.xml file and make sure you save the changes in the file before starting Skype again.
Also if you don't see AppData folder in C:\Users\your_username go to View tab and check Hidden items checkbox.

Video Green Tint Issue?

I discovered a green tinted screen after waking my HP Mini from sleep mode. The only way I was able to resolve this was by restarting.

LG G4 USB Host support - & green spot issue

Hi - using my new LG G4 on the weekend. I noted two disasters. I have the dreaded green spot on my camera. Sneding back for replacement on this issue. See photo below. Also - I noted that USB Host Mode does not support 3rd party apps. What this means is an important app I have used on Samsung S3 and S4 does not work. Its called RccDroidPro and is used to shoot tethered to Sony Alpha and other Cameras. Bummer. XDA developers have patches for custom ROMSs - not one for G4 yet. I am not keen to root my phone - anyone know another way of making this work - or where do we report feature requests for future ROM releases to Telstra?

Hey Jeff, that's bad luck there with the G4, from all reports they seem overall to be a great looking unit, especially in the camera department. Looks like you might have got the odd one out though. I'm not overly familiar with the RccDroidPro, but it was my understanding that in the first place this was a Sony app developed for use with Sony devices etc. primarilly for usb teethering of DSLR cameras. Actually LG would have to make your hardware compatible, USB wise to run this app.

FCP 6.0.5 and Sony HVR-M15U - DV Connection Issue

My head is hurting at the moment. I cannot get my Sony DV deck to be seen in FCP 6.0.5. I can see the deck as HDV. For DV mode, you have to turn on the iLink conversion. I have set the deck to iLink Set - DV SP. BUT... Final Cut Pro does not see the deck at all.
Here's the specs:
Mac Pro (Late 2007) Quad Pro 3.0
8 gig of matching paired RAM
FCS 2.0 with all of the latest updates.
MacOS 10.5.6
AJA Kona 3 driver version 6.03
AJA Io driver version 2.01 - disconnected unless needed for capture from older tape decks
ATI Radeon XT1900 (512 RAM)
ATTO Celerity FC-42ES fiber channel card
Quicktime 7.6
Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS3 (with all updates applied)
I have checked Apple's tech site and forums, nothing other than removing the old Quicktime receipts and reinstalling Quicktime. I tried this... Still nothing. I tried to use another deck, a Sony HVR-M10U. Nothing!
Before you say, its the firewire connection in the computer, HDV does work just fine. Its DV that doesn't work. I have used it just fine with Adobe Premier Pro CS3 (DV capture and Export to Tape). Apple's iMovie sees the deck just fine, too. I wish I had an HVR-1500 deck so that I could bypass this issue, but I don't have one.
What I ended up doing was exporting my sequences from FCP using Quicktime Conversion and setting it to DV Stream. Then I can import my video into Premier Pro CS3 and Export to Tape. Works perfectly.
If I go back into FCP and try this, I get an error message telling me the firewire connection is not found. My iLink lights on the front of the deck are also off. Its not showing any iLink connection on the deck. Now, when I open Premier Pro, the iLink light comes on for DVCAM.
Makes you go, hummmmmm........
HELP!

>could not get PP CS5 to display the video
As far as I know (from reading only, I don't do HDV) PPro does not show the video during capture... this is not a bug
You should (again, reading only) be able to see the video in PPro while simply playing it on the camera and not actually capturing
CS5 User Guides - online and PDF (see link in upper right corner at individual pages)
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/08/help-documents-for-creative-suite-5-pdf -and-html.html
Over on the Win side many people use HDVSplit for capturing, but I have no idea what is available for a Mac

Strange Green Playback Issues in Premiere Pro CC?

Hi, I'm having problems with some footage shot yesterday on a Canon C300. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
I backed-up the footage, imported it into Premiere and made a few rough cuts. I then left it for the day and came into work today to carry on (so I thought). When I opened premiere I was getting this weird green problem anytime I try to play the sequence. I created new sequences & new projects and tried the footage again and still same issue. I then tried some other footage we had, that was shot on a C300 (.MXF). Same issue. I can open the footage in VLC and Resolve with no problems.
A video of the problem can be seen on vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/92148775 (password: ppcc)
My setup is:
Mac Pro 5,1 / 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core / 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory
PCI Cards (Internal)
Slot 1 ATI Radeon HD 5870
Slot 2 MiniSAS connection to external Cubix expansion chassis
Slot 3 Blackmagic Design Decklink 4K Extreme
Slot 4 SmallTree dual port 10GbE adapter
PCI Cards (External - Cubix Xpander Desktop Elite)
Slot 1 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 2 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 3 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 4 RedRocket
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really struggling (I'm not the most technical of editors).
Anything else you need to know, just ask!
Thanks

1. What card do you have?
2. Which drivers version are you using for the BMD card?
3. Mac OSX or Windows?
4. When the playback stops, do you see a small red icon down right in Pr's user interface and if yes, what does it say when you double click on it?
If i remeber correctly the Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning is a per timeline setting. I am not at the editing station now, so i can't check.
I assumed that 1280p50 was a typo in your first post and that you actually mean 720p50. Am i correct?
Four questions, four answers please!

LG Smart TV Skype green screen issue

I have a problem with skype running on LG 47LW980S and AN-VC300 webcam, it seems that sometimes (usually for the second video call) the person that I call receives green screen instead of my video. If I turn off and on again the TV then it will work again for the first call at least.
Where is the issues, on my TV or on the latest PC skype version?
When can I expect a skype update for the smartTV?
Please advise.

Its is the issue with your internet speed. I normally have this problem when the internet is slow. Also the computer you are callling from your tv needs the latest version of skype.
I have been using Skyoe on LG for a year now with no issues.

Oracle AS 9.0.4 and ojdbc14 - 4k blob issue

Greetings,
Perhaps someone has faced this issue before and could offer some help..
I'm trying to insert a blob (>4k) into an Oracle 10g database. To verify that
it is an oracle-specific issue that I am having, I've tried with the following
configurations:
AppServer1: Tomcat 4.1.31
AppServer2: Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0) for Microsoft Windows
Database1: MySql 4.1
Database2: Oracle 10g version 10.2.0
The oracle DB driver I'm using is ojdbc14.jar (a 10g download that apparently
solves the >4k problem)
The blob-insertion works when I use the same code on:
-AppServer1 with Database1
-AppServer1 with Database2
-AppServer2 with Database1
But not when I use the code on
-AppServer2 with Databse2
Now, this probably looks a bit strange because here I am trying to use 2
Oracle products together to perform a seemingly simple task yet instead
I am getting SQL (ORA-1460) exceptions when I try to do it.
Based on the above, the problem has to be the driver right? With this in mind
I've tried the following:
-bundled the ojdbc14.jar file in WEB-INF/lib
-placed odjbc14.jar in the j2ee/home/applib folder
-added a -Djava.library.path=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/applib/ojdbc14.jar to the
JVM args for the oc4j instance
but none of the above have worked.
Then I read that there is a directive in the orion-web.xml that should get the app
server to load from the WEB-INF/lib directory first. So I tried it my app wouldn't
even start. I also tried the -Xbootclasspath stuff but that has never worked for me.
I can see in the jdbc/lib directory of the Oracle app server installation that there
are some older versions of the drivers. Is it possible that these are getting loaded
first by the app server and are being used globally? If so, is there any way that they
can be overwritten / overridden?
Any advice on this would be appreciated. I hope I've been clear, many thanks,
dan

Hey Jos,
Thanks for the info. I tried bundling the 10g drivers (classes12.jar) with the webapp in
WEB-INF/lib but unfortunately there was no change. As an experiment, I dropped in
these jars into the OraHome1/jdbc/lib directory and it worked! Unfortunately, I'm not sure
if I'm going to be able to do this in a production environment, since I don't know how it will
impact on other apps that I have no contol over sitting in the same container :(
Anyone know of problems upgrading the OraHome/jdbc/lib drivers with later versions?
Am I being over-ambitious by expecting this to be acceptable - last I heard the drivers
were certified backwards-compatible so in theory there shouldn't be a problem doing
this. But hey, I'm rediscovering the meaning of the word naive since I started working with
oracle products ;-)
Cheers,
dan

Sony Head Unit and iPod Issue

I just got the Sony Xplod CDX GT620IP head unit installed the other day and I'm pretty happy with it. The only problem is that I have the iPod Ready Feature (allows you to control iPod through the head unit). I plan on keeping an iPod in the glove compartment so that I have a hard drive full of music waiting in the car. However, when I turn the head unit and car off, the iPod is in the idle state, but displays "You may safely disconnect the device" even though the head unit no longer powers the iPod. When everything is off, the iPod will remain on until the battery dies out or if it's unplugged. I don't want to unplug the iPod, I just want it to shut down when the unit is turned off. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: I have an iPod Nano, iPod Video, and the iPod touch, all of which experience the same problems (not turning off).If you have solutions for any of them, I'd be happy to know. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Just signed up to these forums having done a google search for this same problem! I'm in the UK and this is affecting my 2008 CDE-9880R in exactly the same way Adrian describes - highly annoying having purchased this unit to avoid this kind of problem! So much for an Alpine/Apple collaboration!
I am currently resorting to the 'pause' function on the headunit before keying off the ignition. Although I spoke to an Alpine tech guy at Alpine UK on the phone today and he is sending out another small lead that apparently goes inline with the current lead. He mentioned something about the headunit not recognising 80gb classics properly??? Not sure whether this will fix the problem but I'll keep you posted. I think a firmware issue is more likely to be the problem. At least Alpine seem to be aware of the problem and not just fobbing people off.
Cheers,
Mark.

Green screen issues when playing videos in fb + youtube

at first i noticed a re-occurring problem when playing videos via facebook or youtube. A green screen randomly appeared now and then until i reset the laptop. I tried many things, including one suggestion to change quality option from 480p to 140p via settings option in youtube. It worked on some occasions, was able to view video as the green screen disappeared. Of course, as expected, image quality suffered. I contacted Lenovo to inform them of issues I was having with viewing videos, they advised it was a problem with the adobe software and that I should check to see if I have an updated version installed on my laptop. (currently running O/S windows 8.1 and IE 11), I downloaded chrome, fortunately, I am able to view videos in youtube properly even though they appear as a green screen in IE 11. Not so lucky with facebook however, green screens in IE when playing Facebook video uploads appear as black screens in chrome. I reset the laptop and everything appears to be running fine. Is this an adobe software issue? Lenovo seems to think so, Seeing as how others experience the same issue regardless of the make and model of laptop, they may be right.

Please work through the video troubleshooting guide.

Green Screen issue with reflections (Primatte Keyer)

Hi together, as I noticed lately I unfortunally got some reflection issues at this singing bowl in the back. I'm looking forward to chroma key it using primatte keyer.
It looks like I got a serious problem there and I'm looking out for a little help.
Would be so nice to get a clue or two to keep on working on a solution. My problem is - the girl is moving a bit later - so a simple mask would'nt work. I think it would be the best to key the full singing bowl and replace it with an image later.
I also have footage of the setup without the girl sitting in focus.
If I remember right, there was an different keying technice were I can "erase" the full background and when the girl is mooving to the focus everything else is keyed with exeption of her. But I can't remember the correct terms or keywords to look out for solutions online.
Thanks in advance - hope I will find a solution :-/ .. maybe on or another of you guys is able to share a clue with me.
SubUrb

After carefully looking at your shot I would mask the bowl first, put it on top of the original footage, use color suppression on the bowl to remove the green, then nest that comp in another comp, pull the key using the nested (pre-comp), then put the original footage above the keyed comp then use rotobrush to mask just the part of the girl that passes in front of the bowl. The project would look something like this:
I used Keylight's Foreground Color Correction to supress the green on the masked bowl layer. If the camera is moving you can track and stabilize the shot, use a track matte, then re-introduce the motion to the track matte and remove the stabilization to keep things lined up.
Pardon my funky orange solid background replacement, but I think this is the way to do the shot with the least trouble.

IPhone pink/green camera issue

So I noticed that when I'm indoors and I take photos of my white walls in low lighting, I get the pink in the middle, green on the outside issue that's been posted in blogs and message boards. When you're out in ample lighting, the pictures turn out fine.
I've had my iPhone for over a month now. I've read some people post their experiences about getting their phone swapped. I'd like to get mine swapped if possible for a better one.
Can anybody post their experiences with this issue and whether they were able to get a replacement at the Apple Store beyond the 14 days?

Yes you can. I had an issue. Apple replaced my phone with a new phone. The new phone solved the issue. They were fast and pretty nice about it. I am an happy Apple costumer.

Sony iPod Car Interface - Shuffle Issue

Recently bought a Sony CDX-GT300 car stereo & Sony iPod adaptor XA-110IP. Have a 30gb gen-5 iPod. Overall love the sound quality (hardwired 'base' connection versus iTrip's RF method). Problem is every time I turn the car on, the iPod starts with the same song instead of keeping the "all shuffle" settings I used on the Sony car player. This is super irritating having to hear this same song everytime and having to reset the thing to "all shuffle". If anyone out there has this problem, please help! Sony (Cruthfield) and BestBuy (where I bought from) were totally unhelpful. I can't believe I'm the only having this issue.

I have the same issue with the same iPOD and I "chatted" with Sony about this issue. The guy, Nolan, was not helpful. He wasn't familiar with the adapter at all. I am thinking of trying to chat with another person at Sony to see if that helps but I am not hopeful.
You may be doing this already, but what I have done so I don't keep hearing that annoying song everytime I turn on my car - I begin playing a song on my iPOD before I plug it into the adapter and then the car stereo will continue to play it. It isn't the most convenient but until I hear a fix from Sony that is what I am doing.
I also use the iPOD to find artists or albums that are buried deep down the list (the middle of the alphabet) then plug it back in. It is quicker than holding down the button on the stereo. Again, not convenient but it works.
I agree with you, the sound is great and it is unfortunate that Sony's iPOD adapter is not up to par with the rest of their equipment.

Sony experia z3v wifi connectivity issues

So I am currently having this reoccurring issue with my phone staying connected to the wifi at my home or any wifi at all even though the wifi signal will read that it's connected when I get on the internet it pretty much says different. I have only had this phone for barely a month or two and this issue started maybe the 2nd week I got it. So as much I loved my phone I wasn't gonna be dealing with this issue so before my refund date was up I decided to go to my local verizon to see if I can exchange it or see if they can fix the situation, instead they said I can exchange it but what your dealing with is a bug in the operating system of your phone and that I should be getting an update early to mid April that will fix my problem so I decide I can wait if they are that positive so which leads me to my problem now. It is the beginning of May and I have yet to hear or see and update on my phone so occurs my situation continues and unfortunately I cannot switch my phone out cause I assumed the lady at my local verizon had known what she was talking about so I pretty went past my 14 refund days and I'm stuck with this phone that is forcing me to use all my data till this "update" is available. Is there a way I can just switch to a new phone somehow?

There isn't much you can do about that phone right now short of buying another phone at full retail or buying elsewhere at reduced prices. Technically, you could sell your phone, but the buyer might find that Verizon wont allow it to be activated since it is on an account that hasn't finished its contract. I believe you are way too early for Early Edge options. You can call Verizon and discuss that option though. Early Edge would require you to turn in the Sony in working condition and you'd start a 2 year process of paying the new phone off.
