Sony Sonos bridge and Play5 speaker attached to AppleTV3?

I currently have AppleTV3 running through my Sony receiver which forwards the signal to my TV and Sony soundbar/subwoofer. It works great and I love listening to my iTunes music through those speakers.
I now want to add a remote speaker in another room and came across the Sony Sonos remote speaker system. Has anyone hooked up the Sony Sonos Bridge to their AppleTV so the same signal that is being sent to my Sony soundbar/subwoofer can also be wirelessly sent to the remote Play5 speaker in the other room.
My goal is to have whatever is playing in my living room via AppleTV3 to also be playing in my game room via Sonos Bridge>Play5 speaker.

I'm thinking:
Optical out from AppleTV3 to a DAC to the Sonos Bridge which will send the audio to the remote speaker.
Is there a better way?

Airport and Sonos bridge issues

My airport base station and Sonos wireless bridge have stopped talking to teach other after many months of happiness together. I've shut down and rebooted all components. Still not being friendly. I hardwired the bridge to my iMac and was able to get all Sonos components to be recognized but still can't get anything to play. When I unhooked the Ethernet cable between the bridge and computer, the Sonos controller no longer is able to see a network, register components, etc.

Thanks Steve, but you and others won't believe what the real problem was.... a faulty connection to the router.
For similar dupes like me, here was the story.
Sonos bridge has a light on the top, and of course, when plugged in, it lights up.
Undiscernable to the eye-- when they are not lit up --- the bridge has lights next to each of the ethernet connections on the back.
because my airport extreme's ethernet port was already in use by the printer, I used an apple adapter to get the sonos bridge connector into another port.
Sonos support (which is fantastic) asked if the lights on the back were lit. I said "what lights?" "the lights next to the ethernet port" "there are no lights there to light up" "yes there are....they are really really small. "
Sure enough, attaching the Sonos to itself with two ends of the same ethernet cable caused the lights to light.
it was then that it was clear that the adaptor was the problem. Groan. I switched the ethernet connection from the extreme to the sonos bridge, and then used the freed up ethernet port to the sonos. No problem.
I suggested to Sonos that maybe they add something about those lights to the user guide.
I want to reinforce how superb the Sonos customer support is.

Transfering Bridge (and files) between computers

I will soon be switching over to a new computer, which means overhauling my files and unfortunately Bridge. I know that my labels and keywords will transfer since they are attached to the files themselves in the metadata, but what about my collections? I have smart collections which would rebuild themselves once I re-constructed them on the new computer, but I also have some manually built collections that I don't fully remember the criteria for dragging certain pictures in them. I am not sure how to transfer either type of collection beyond having both computers open Bridge and manually reconstruct them. Since I am 1:1 transfering my files for the most part (i.e. keeping the same folder hierarchy), the new computer will have the same relative paths which might work to my advantage or might make no difference whatsoever. Any ideas on exporting/importing collections and other features of Bridge that may not be readily transferable or that are not stored in the metadata?

You might want to explore the concept of "build and export cache" in tools/cache. Not all data is written to the file, some is held in an XMP file, which has same name as file. You want them both to transfer at same time.
To see if you have XMP files click on view/show hidden files.
Don't know much about collections.

JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)

(Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

…If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve. Unequivocally and without qualifications.
Now, first things first: Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites". Concentrate on Photoshop. Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types. The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries. They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
Enough said about the cause of the problem. The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
Secondly, a disclaimer: I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius. I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point). I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it. I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle.
Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software. Stick to version2 icc profiles. Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site. I have learned from all of them.
My working color space is ProPhoto RGB. I choose to work with PSD and PSB files. As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web. My main output consists of prints.
I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself. I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

You either want to learn, or you don't. You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere. That attitude will get you there fast. Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong. You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing. I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.
Good luck.

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

Sony PMW-EX1 and FCS 2 - any issues?

After being hooked by the Creative Cow on the Sony PMW EX1, and then doing some more research on the Prosumer camcorder, I'm really interested in this unit. Cost appears to be about the same as the Panasonic AG-HVX200 $5800 or so. But what I like most is the true 1920 x 1080 resolution the Sony provides.
BUT, heard some rumors that the Sony doesn't get along so well with FCS 2 ?
Opinion most welcome.
Thanks, Rob.

Hi Rob,
although this post is answered, I have some feedback on ex 1 cam. I am in Australia and have had the camera for around one month. I have shot some footage around town but only on 35mb vbr setting as i don't want to water down quality.
the camera is very heavy in the hand but no real issues. onscreen histogram helpful too. i played out footage to local tv station camerapeople and they were very impressed. i did this on a bravia 3100 full hd set by component hd in(btw) very little artifacts on movement.
On capture though it is a little bit of a leg exercise to bring stuff into fcp6.02. You must have all latest software 6.02 installed and sony transfer software etc.
I tried usb from camera to mac pro and it is very(too) slow. on my mbpro i used express slot and it is very fast and easy.
Therefore if you have both mbp and mp comps you should target you mac pro into MBP and then capture direct from SxS card to your capture scratch folder which is very fast.
THIS WILL BE A POPULAR FIX AND SAVES BUYING A CARD READER(V.EXPENSIVE)
Of course if you don't have a MBP, you are in the clag, so to speak.
I am really surprised these cameras are not available freely yet.
cheers

Camera raw for sony alpha 7 and PS 5

HI
I am an amateur photographer and am very happy in my little PS5 world. I do not want to commit to PS6 and the CC and a lifetime of fees. I am, unfortunately, thinking about getting the sony alpha 7. It is unclear to me if camera raw 6.7 will support it. I have read 2 different answers on the internet
I love camera raw in PS. If I can't open these images in PS, can I do it in lightroom? Does lightroom have a nice camera raw? (I am using camera raw 6.3 and it is wonderful.)
Is there any easy answer for a very casual photographer who cannot justify the cost of monthly program fees?
thanks!

The Alpha 7 wasn't supported until Camera Raw 8.3 at the end of last year. ACR 8.3 only works in CS6/CC.
I recommend using the latest available version of Camera Raw for each version of CS, which in your case (CS5) is 6.7.1. The latest versions are usually the best, fixing the most bugs and containing refinements missing from earlier versions.
The cheapest way to carry on with CS5 is to download Adobe DNG Converter, and batch-convert folders of your Alpha files to DNG. It's an extra step after downloading your images, but it's free.
Camera Raw 6.7.1 and DNG Converter 8.6 are both available from the downloads section of the Adobe website. Please note that you may need DNG Converter 8.3 if you are still running CS5 on XP/Vista or (Snow-) Leopard.
Photoshop Lightroom is designed by the same team which writes Camera Raw and uses very similar programming. Consequently, it works in a similar way to Camera Raw (with Bridge) and is updated at the same time—following its version numbering by a increment of 3 (currently Lightroom 5.6). You could buy Lightroom and use it to import and convert your raw files without using DNG Converter and Camera Raw. It's a Marmite thing: some people love it, some don't. You can probably download a free trial and find out for yourself. Once you have converted your images in Lightroom, you can export them to Photoshop CS5 for editing.

Audio playback through iPhone 4S speaker & attached headphones

Hi!
I might have a problem and I definitely need help, please!
When I first got my iPhone 4S, I remember seeing an option... I was able to switch between the earphones and the speaker while listening to music (while headphones still attached, of course) and this was amazing since I listen to music all day but I don't want to keep attaching/removing the headphones over and over again. I remember playing with my iPhone and seeing an option to turn this amazing feature off (I did this while playing with multitasking), and I remember that I did change it to "earphones" or something, just out of curiosity, thinking that I could always change the settings to the way it was but now, I can't get it back!
I've read manuals, guides, reviews and I've only found information about this feature but no information about how to actually do it (again)
This has nothing to do with AirPlay, Bluetooth and/or Wireless speakers (nor Siri and Voice Control, I think)
So, I was able to switch between earphones and speakers while my earphones still attached but now that on-screen option is gone, I don't see that anymore. It was something similar to this, actually...

Well, I called the Apple support line and explained the whole thing but since I used the image as an example and I mentioned speakers, the guy helping me focused on wifi speakers and didn't really understand my problem; he thought it was something else.
Since then I've done some research and I've even reseted my iPhone twice but still not able to make it work again. I am not lying and I am not crazy (well, that's a different topic ) ... I remember seeing an image just like the one I linked on this post. This whole thing happened on a 64 GB iPhone 4S... no jailbreak or whatever, I don't even understand that thing so, yes, brand new, 100% original iPhone, untouched
Ok, so... I was listening to music, I had the headphones plugged in and I remember pressing a small square-like button, then 2 options showed on-screen; headphones and speaker, and I was able to select one and then go back to the other, switch between both headphones and the built-in speaker, while the headphones were still plugged in, of course.
The problem presented when I double clicked the home button (while multitasking) and then selected an option (right where the volume controls are located) and it was something like "always use headphone", "always use speaker" or something similar and then I selected headphones while I was playing music via the speaker and that was it, I haven't been able to "swap" since I changed that... so yes, I know it was possible because I've done it
Honestly, I am starting to think that my iPhone was not 100% configured or something and that's why I was able to do so.... and then pressed something by mistake which "corrected" that malfunction.
Anyway, thank you for the help Josephack, I appreciate it!

I am wondering if it is possible to configure one ACE context to support both routed and bridge interface?
I would like to have a bridge-mode context but in the same time I would like to have a separated OOB interface for management.
If it is possible how they could interact to each other?
Thank you in advance for any answer

Hello
We've just tried to configure bridged and routed interfaces at the same time in the lab and we've had a problem.
When we added the def gw for the bridged config we noticed that we had an issue with the traffic src by the rservers in the routed config.
When we deleted the new def gw, the problem disappeared.
I am attaching the lab config.
When we added to it the following line
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.163
reals B1-B10 could not communicate to the outside world.
Do you know why it does not worked and what could we do to fix it ?
Thank you in advance.

Install RAW DNG Converter 7-2 from my desktop to Bridge and Photoshop?

I have a Sony A99 DSLR which is now supported by Adobe. I downloaded the DNG (RAW) Converter 7_2 to my desktop. How do I install it in Bridge and Photoshop?

DNG converter is a standalone tool. For Photoshop/ Bridge you need the corresponding version of Camera Raw (ACR). Refer to this:

Bridge and Acrobat pro don't run (CS6)

I installed the Design Standard of Creative Suite 6 (Student and teacher edition) and after a time I wanted to work with Bridge and Acrobat Pro, but both don't run. The moment I click on their icon they seem like they want to start, but they just light up a short time in the task bar. I checked to start with administration rights, 32 bit and 64 bit and I started them from different sources (task bar, programs list and explorer). I'm happy about every help I can get and sorry for my maybe bad technical english!
Greetings,
Nico

Thank you. I don't speak Spanish, but the translator does. I'm afraid you will have to reinstall OS X. Follow these instructions:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

[SOLVED] Pulseaudio, sound coming from both headphone and laptop speak

I switched to PulseAudio a while back, everything is working fine, except I can't find a way to get sound "only" in headphones.
"Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" has three Ports: 'Analog Output', 'Speakers' and 'headphones'. Choosing Speakers give no sound, and choosing Analog output and headphones gives sound from both headphones (if it's attached) and laptop speakers.
I have pavucontrol installed but can't find any option for it in it either. Any suggestions?

That code looks specific to that sound card, though I tried it anyways, by changing
device=hw:M2496
to
device=hw:1
(where 1 is index of my card), but now I can't get any sound from my sound card. I have commented out those lines, removed .config/pulse, restarted pulseaudio, restarted laptop, but I still can't get any sound from that soundcard anymore. (EDIT: Apparently sound was muted in Kmix (thought it wasn't in pavucontrol), don't know how that works, maybe I missed something, anyways, I am again getting sound, but everything else is same.)
And my original problem still remains.
I am assuming if I know the names of channels (for headphone and laptop speaker), I can create a new sink/source and use that to route the sound properply, but I can't figure out exactly how to do all that.
P.S: If anyone is looking at the link shared by emeres, it's moved to here

Video broadcast with bridge and pvdm3

Hey all,
Any way to do a Video broadcast with a 4520 bridge and a 2911 with pvdm3..
We want the bridge to dial out to all locations. If the 9971 video phones dial in to a 2911 conf using pvdm3's is there a way to get the bridge to dial out to that conf?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

I'm hoping that I am missing something because this seems like a strange request. Are you saying that you want a 4520 MCU to outdial to a preset group of endpoints when a completely separate PVDM3-based ad-hoc conference is started? The answer to this would be no.
What may be possible would be to join the H323 ID/E164 ID of the 4520 conference to the PVDM3-based ad-hoc conference by calling it and using the Join button on the Cisco phone. If that worked, the obvious downside would be that you have a cascaded conference across two MCUs. Each MCU would make its own active speaker decisions and feed only that output to the other bridge.
