hi!
i want to connect my macpro with an external monitor: Sony LMD-2450W, which i use for colour correction.
this monitor has a dvi-d input. what kind of adapter do i need to connect it with my macpro?
thx for answers!

This has been an ongoing problem with external monitors that predates 10.9.2. I wrote various tips on different methods here, though the best is probably the hot corner one:

    I have a MBP Retina LCD (resolution 2880x1800) and in the office I use it with a Monitor Sony LMD-2450W connected by VGA. After installing 10.9.2 the resolution in the monitor has been downsized to 4:3 (and 1280x960) instead of its 16:9 display. Anyone know how can I change the resolution manually?
    Display shows only 3 different resolution if I choose "scaled" but none use the full area of the monitor.

  • Hd cam

    can u edit hdcam on fcp without downgrading, ths losing quality?

    OK...you misunderstand. "Standard everything" won't allow you to edit HDCAM. That will get you DV and HDV...and AVCHD. Now you are entering the world of High End HD...HDCAM. You need to invest in a CAPTURE CARD (different than a graphics card) like the AJA Kona series (www.aja.com) or the Decklink series (www.decklink.com). Then you need a very high speed hard drive RAID array to handle the very high data rate of uncompressed HD. Something like the HD Pro from www.caldigit.com, or 800P from www.sonnettech.com, or G-Speed from www.g-technology.com.
    Then you need a proper HD monitor to view this footage on. And I am not talking the computer monitor, but HD LCDs like these:
    TVLOGIC LVM-240D
    JVC DTV 24L2D
    Sony LMD-2450W HD
    Panasonic BT-LH1700
    Don't tread lightly into this. If you intend on getting into the world of Uncompresed HD, then you are going to have a lot to learn, and you will be spending a lot of money.

  • Which Playback Setting for 1080P

    Right setup is:
    Blackmage Decklink HD
    Final Cut Studio 2
    External Monitor connected through HD-SDI
    Footage XDCAM-EX 1080P 25fps
    My question is purely to do with External Playback. The sequence we are editing in is fine because we just match settings.
    So in External Playback Settings which one do we choose from the List.
    We normally shoot 1080 50i - so i normally choose "Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 25hz 10bit 1920 x 1080" and all works fine.
    However I want to choose a progressive setting to make sure playback on monitor is perfect but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent setting in the presets.
    There are 1080P settings but they aren't 25hz but 24 and 23.xxx settings which when we choose means the monitor will only show a still. Which normally indicates and incompatible mode.
    At the moment we are using the 1080i setting and it looks pretty good but "appears" to be a little motion blurred which i assume is the incorrect interlacing setting.
    Any help would be much appreciated.. and do let me know you need more information.
    Cheers
    Rob

    Thanks for the reply guys much apprecaited.. the monitory we are using is a Sony LMD2450. Which I hope is a nice monitor as it cost enough and lets us view at full pixels. We are connected to it using HD-SDI
    http://www.sony.co.uk/biz/view/ShowProduct.action?product=LMD-2450W
    Glad we have the correct setting for Blackmagic and think any slight weirdness in movement was us just expecting there to be some because of the setting.
    Sorry to ask another question but is there any good tutorials about setting up a monitor to work with FCP eg. for Colour Correction applications...
    Cheers and thanks again

  • Preview on a Video Monitor?

    Does Encore have the ability to feed the preview monitor or timeline into an external NTSC video monitor (not unlike a non-linear editing system would)? I have a Sony LMD-2010 LCD monitor that I use with my Avid system (output through Avid Mojo) and am wondering if the same can be done in Encore.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    I am unable to preview on an external monitor in the trial version, although I could with 1.5. I'm firewire out to a Sony DSR-11 which does give preview in Premiere Pro 2 and After Effects 7.
    In Edit>preferences>audio/video out, it is recognising the Sony, but reports "unknown" as status.
    Can anyone please tell me what I'm missing. Thanks

  • Reference Monitor - Capture Card

    I am in the process of finishing our HD editing system Build and had a question about a third monitor setup. The two reqular monitors are the Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP and the GPU is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295. Even though I am still a fan of for CRT's, the LCD's are getting better. Two of which, the Panasonic BT-LH1760 and the Sony LMD-2050W we have access to. We use PP CS4. For the Reference Monitor and HD-SDI, I assume we need a PCI-e card. I have been reading and have seen some thoughts on the Matrox cards with PP, wonding some thoughts on the following and any suggestions as to how it works with PP CS4:
    Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
    DeckLink Studio
    Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    For Firewire to HDMI, look here:
    http://www.aja.com/html/products_Io.html
    BUT -
    why not just get an HD monitor w/ DVI in? Lot of them have that.
    Going w/ a blackmagic or AJA card will give you more control of whether or not it appears as a 2nd monitor tho.
    Let's face it tho, HD monitoring is the wild wild west. W/out real hi end analysis tools there is no practical difference between having a dedicated 'monitoring' out vs having a shared desktop / 2nd monitor.

  • Monitoring HD from a MacBookPro

    I have a project shot in DVCPRO HD 720p on the HVX-200. I will be editing this on a MBP. Although the end product will be an SD DVD (at this time, maybe HD DVD later) I think that it would be best to monitor this in HD since we intend to edit in HD until we output the final to DVD. However, we are on a budget and cannot afford the best or optimal solution. So the question is:
    1) If I were to use the Matrox MXO as suggested in an earlier post by DavidS what would be the most affordable monitor in that situation? Should I buy a decent HD TV, a 23" Cinema display,or must I go for a Sony or Panasonic HD monitor?
    2) Does anyone know anything about the Sony LMD-172WS? It appears that you can add a firewire card to this monitor. Would this work to display DVCPRO HD over firewire from FCP?
    Thanks for the help, I'm diving into new territory here, someone hold the net please!

    When you need to color correct, only then do you need a high quality monitor. Perhaps you can rent one or have that portion done by a pro in a post house.

    No, you'd need to feed it with a DVCPro deck or a Video card which you cannot since you are on a laptop.

  • Unable to capture Canon HDV footage with Sony v1u camera

    I'm trying to capture hdv footage filmed with a canon video camera with my sony v1u.  My sony footage captures as it should, but the canon footage, although playing fine on the sony camera, will not capture to cs4.  Any suggestions? 

    Check all camera settings and make sure they match the original filming mode on the other camera... and veryify your PPro settings match

  • Unable to capture HDV in FCP 6.0.1 from Sony HVR-Z1P

    Hi I'm attempting to capture HDV footage from a Sony Z1.
    I am trying to capture some HDV footage I shot with the Z1, but FCP simply refuses to recognize the Z1
    I'm certain I've got all the settings correct:
    - Camera is set to HDV firewire out
    - capture presets is set to HDV
    - device control preset is set to Sony HDV FireWire
    - sequence preset is set to HDV 1080i50 (I'm in Australia)
    - footage IS HDV 1080i50
    But I keep getting the "Unable to Initialize Capture Device and Device Control" popup. I've tried everything
    - rebooted the camera
    - restarted FCP
    - rebooted the system
    - changed the capture/device control settings in FCP and tried out a regular DV deck to make sure it wasn't the cable
    Nothing has worked.
    I'm on a MBPro I7. No Kona card or anything like that, just trying to capture through firewire.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Matt
    At present it will capture HDV in IMovie but not FCP 6.0.1

    Thanks Adrian, since posting the thread I've thought of that too but unfortunately to no avail. From other forums I've read this seems to be a central theme to the solution to my capture woes. I since have sorted the problem it was in Audio/Video Settings.
    In the end I set my Audio/Video Settings to:
    Sequence Preset to: Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
    Capture Pre-HDV- Apple intermediate Codec
    Device Control Preset: Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire
    And hey presto my I'm capturing HD without any problems. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

  • Macbook to Sony Bravia - Problems

    Hey -
    So I'm trying to connect my Macbook (I got this back in like 2006-2007?) to my Sony Bravia TV. I have the current set-up:
    VGA Cable connected from the back of the TV to a Mini-DVI-to-VGA connector to the MacBook. When I plug it in, the Macbook detects it (since I can see the MacBook screen adjusting to it) but when I go to find it on the TV (Input/Source), the "PC" option is grayed out. I've been trying everything (Detect Display, etc) for the Bravia to detect it but no dice. Any help would be great.
    For the time being, I'm using a S-Video to Mini-DVI-to-S-Video adapter to the MacBook but the quality is really poor (except when watching movies).
    Is there something else that I need to do?
    Thanks!
    Albert

    hello, people.
    I'm trying to sync my mac to Sony Bravia as well.
    And it was tough.
    But on my last try I find a way.
    You have to put a resolution 640 x 480 on your mac
    and 1920 x 1080 on Sony TV.
    After that, you have to go on menu of your TV and follow the steps:
    ajustes > canais de entrada > controle de entradas
    I know the names in portuguese.
    But in english should be the same.
    And set you PC from AUTO to "SEMPRE"
    The TV is already set on AUTO (automatic)
    It works and I really happy.
    I wish it works for you too
    Good luck

  • Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
    1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
    2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
    3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
    3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
    i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
    ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
    iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
    all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
    Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
    Can someone out there please help!!!!!
    Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
    Thanks,

    Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
    1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
    3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
    4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

  • Airplay with Sony RDp-AX900 no longer working

    Running off a Standard MAc 21".. 2011 model ... just upgraded the box to Mavericks
    Trying to use spotify or Itunes and just want output to go the the external Sony  airplay speaker..
    Works fine to Apple TV sitting next to it - it  sees the Sony but when you select it it just pops back to the Internal Speaker Option ... Thoughts? All working before the Upgrade...
    Ended up connecting via BT to the Sony but thats just a fudge really...

    Yes I did all the easy stuff first. I even re-installed Mavericks incase a special file was missing. I've totally reset my AirPort Express several times. It's what's transmitting my WiFi and it's super close to my iMac.
    It's deffinitely a problem with my iMac seeing as it's not working with both my AirPort Express and Apple TV, also can't access Shared movies on my iPad via Home Sharing so yeah... definitely my iMac. All those other things communicate to eachother just fine.
