Standard Definition Receiver 2500 Pixelation

Has anyone else had this probl em and if so, how was it resolved?    I have a model 2500 that has pixelation whenever the television is turned on or tuned to a different channel.  When you change channels, the new channel shows up with the typical block pattern throughout and then, within 1 second, adjusts to a perfect picture.  This is something I could live with but why would I?
Verizon came out yesterday and tested my signal strength and said my signal was great.   The installer said he sees this "all the time" but I am quite sure he meant periodically.  The box and picture were perfect when 1.6.0 existed and changed when 1.6.2 went in.  However, no one has logged that as a complaint.
The TV only has S-Video and composite inputs.  It is used in an exercise room and therefore, seldom gets touched.  All the fitting are tight and the cable is a direct line of about 60 feet from the ONT splitter.  Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
Solved!

That happens on all the 2500's. It's very brief, just when changing channels. There is nothing wrong with your setup.

  • High Definition or Standard Definition Timeline?

    When editing a program for cable TV playback that will be shown in standard definition 4 x 3 aspect ratio, MPEG2, 720 x 480, what settings should be used for the timeline?  It seems to me that it should be some sort of standard definition timeline 720 x 480 non-square pixel.  I would like to see in my client monitor what the home viewer will see.  Is there any reason to use a high definition timeline, then convert it?  There will be no reuse of the program on the web or in future reruns.  No fancy animations or pans and zooms.  Source material will be mixed.  It seems to me that graphics made on a high definition timeline will also look bad when converted for standard definition playback.
    Would DVCPRO50 be the best choice, can ProRes be set up for this, or something else?

    If we shoot HD then we edit in HD and we prefer PR422 to most alternatives most of the time.
    I would edit in whatever you have the most of. DVCPro50 and PR422 are both codecs. It is one or the other.
    What do you have the most of? codec? HD? SD?
    We prefer to convert any and all source footage that isn't PR422 to PR422 when working in PR422. I wouldn't bother with DVCPro50 unless that is what most of your footage is. Is this on tape/card? How are you getting the footage into FC? DVCPro50 is a SD codec while PR422 can be either. If most of your footage is HD you will have to render all HD footage that you are adding into a SD timeline.
    Converting  HD to SD is not a guaranteed quality hit.
    Setting all the frame controls to best in Compressor will usually solve most conversion/quality issues but depending on the length of your show this can take a lot of time compared to good or better(and the results are never as good).
    An alternative:
    We have had success with exporting our HD sequence(self-contained or reference)/reimporting into FC and then adding it to a 16x9 or 4x3 SD sequence and rendering. Export your new SD master and then compress for your final deliverable.
    Keep in mind that HD is rectangular while SD can be rectangular(16x9) or square(4x3). When you down-convert to your SD deliverable you will have to letterbox your HD or 16x9 footage into a 4x3 SD window(unless you plan to render and/or scale all of the footage as you add it into a 4x3 sequence).

    No. You need a converter box like this to go with your MDP-VGA adapter:

  • Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

    What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
    Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
    1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
    2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
    3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
    4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
    5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
    6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
    The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
    But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
    I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
    So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
    I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
    The exported AVI is black as well!!
    I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
    The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
    One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
    It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
    Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

    So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
    I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
    So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
    Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
    On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
    Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

  • Play iTunes video on STANDARD definition TV?

    This seems as if it should be a simple question, but I haven't had much luck researching an answer!
    I've got a lot of my own homemade videos stored in iTunes. I can easily play them back on my host iMac G5, or over my home network to my MacBook.
    But is there any way to play them over my regular standard-definition TV?
    I've done this by connecting a composite video adapter to the MacBook and cabling it to the TV; it works fine, but ties up the MacBook. I've also transferred them to my iPod and connected that to the TV, which also works fine but isn't very convenient. I'd like to be able to just play videos off the iMac without any extra steps -- the same way you can play audio through an Airport Express connected to a stereo.
    I know an AppleTV would do exactly what I want... IF I had a high-definition TV, but I don't. I've read about adapters for connecting an AppleTV to an SD TV, but they seem both expensive and kludgy. I also know that the AppleTV works with a standard-def TV if your TV has component inputs, but mine doesn't. So the AppleTV doesn't seem to be a solution.
    Any recommendations for a way to do this that definitely works? Thanks...

    Yes, I know, an AppleTV-like device would be exactly what I need... except that I need one that has composite outputs, rather than component and HDMI.
    Are you saying there ain't no such animal, from Roku, Slim Devices, Linksys, anybody...?
    Another thought: Does the Mac mini work with the same type of composite video output adapter I use with my MacBook? If so, it might be more cost-effective to buy a mini and dedicate it for TV use rather than buying an AppleTV plus an HDTV set. (I know I'm going to have to go to HDTV eventually, but the fact is that most standard-definition content looks worse on HDTV than it does on SDTV...)

  • Enhancement to add userdefined  fields for standard definition in  cj20n

    Hi all
    sub:enhancement to add userdefined  fields in a user defined screen tab for standard definition in t-code cj20n
    can anyone provide an idea how to write the logic for retriving the data from the standard table into the user defined screen added into the project definition using the t-code cj20n( project system module)
    thanks
    sirisha

    I think you may need to implement enhancement 'CNEX0007'
    CMOD==> Enhancement==> Componet==> Get the Screen area.
    Go to SE41 ==> Give the Screen program and number==> add your WBS tab there. The values will be available to screen
    Hope this is helpful for your answer.

  • ITunes 9 Selecting Standard Definition?

    I only need Standard Definition video as my iPod Touch won't play HD. In the last version of iTunes, there was a link you could click to switch from the HD video list to a Standard Def list.
    I can't find anything like that in the new iTunes 9 store... Is it still possible, or are you forced to get HD content now?
    Thanks.

    If you are using iTunes 9, go to the Movies or TV page and select the Quick Link for HD Movies or HD TV. Every single HD movie or TV show has an option somewhere on the page to get the non-HD version. I could not find a single HD video that did not also offer a standard definition version. It may not jump right out at you, but it is there. You may find SD buttons on the same page, or you may find a SD link to another page.
    Also, close by each buy button is a description of what you are buying.

  • Can I use apple tv on a standard definition tv?

    I have a standard definition TV at my home and would love to use Apple TV to play movies, music, etc. on this TV in my room via my WIFI connection
    but was not sure if I could do that since my TV is not a HD TV.
    Can I still use Apple TV and have all of the functions work properly on my standard definition TV?

    No.
    AppleTV2 only has HDMI video output - while you might find some convoluted method of using adapters to produce a lower quality image on an SD set over analogue it won't be cheap.
    AppleTv has always ben designed for 16:9 TV sets, you may have an SD one but it won't have the necessary digital connections.

  • Change image to 2500 pixels on the longest side

    I posted earlier but just found out how to change my dpi in an image from 300 to 72 dpi. (Can't find my earlier post.)
    Now I'd like to, if possible,, In order to publish this is as a book cover on Kindle, change the number of pixels on the longest side of the image to the recommended 2500 Pixels.(Right now the image I'm interested in Is a bit more than that  on the longest side.).

    Go to image>resize>image resize. It would launch a image resize dialog.
    From the bottom of the dialog, choose "Resample Image". in the drop-down below, you can choose the algorithm for resampling. Since you said the image you are interested in is a bit larger than 2500, you should choose Bicubic Sharper. To know more about resampling algorithms, check the link https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/resizing.html#resample_an_image
    As soon as you choose the "resample image" option, it would enable the pixel dimension area of the dialog.
    change height(or width) to 2500 depending upon which side is the longest side.
    click ok

    You can in fact buy what you want, no need to go with Apple TV
    To connect (wirelessly) your Mac to the HDMI on the TV:

  • Acvhd to standard definition DVD vs. Standard definition to DVD

    Hi,
    If I shoot with a good acvhd camera and then make a standard definition DVD, how would the quality of the DVD compare to shooting with a good mini DV camera such as a Canon GL2 and making a standard definition DVD?
    Thanks

    IMO the GL2 to DVD will look better.
    If you burn to Blue ray the AVCHD footage will knock it's socks off.
    Blue ray however is not as universally excepted as DVD at the minute.

  • I am trying to convert a standard definition AVI file 720x576 widescreen file into a full sized Quicktime file in imovie but having cropping issues

    Hi
    I am trying to convert a standard definition AVI file 720x576 (16:9)  file into a full sized Quicktime file in imovie 11. When importing the file I get two options either import as large 960 x540 or full original size. So I choose full original size but when I drag this imported clip to my timeline the bottom of the clip has been cut off? I tried to export it as a quicktime file thinking that perhaps it might resize to the original size but of course that was wishful thinking
    Any ideas appreciated?

    Hi No I have just checked its definitely a PAL 16;9 project. I am also slightly confused because when importing the video into the project it has squashed it into 4:3 format even though my file is 16:9?

  • Working with Canon 5D standard definition video

    I'm facing an odd situation.
    Just started editing a documentary shot with a Canon 5D camera. The picture looks great. The only thing is, the cameraman decided that this is a video and he didn't need to shoot HD! I don't know why he thought that, since the main reason people use the Canon 5D is to get a full HD frame. Anyhow, I've been presented now with hours of brilliant interviews that can't be redone, all with a frame size of 640x480 running at 25 frames per second. I need to figure out how to edit these and create a broadcast master at the end. 25fps is not the issue, it's the frame size and video compression that I need to deal with.
    The Canon 5D generates Quicktime files with an H.264/Mpeg4 compression. I need to convert these files to a format better suited to editing and mastering for broadcast. An HD master is, of course, impossible, but 640x480 is even smaller than the standard 720x576 frame size that one gets on regular standard definition PAL video.
    I found a transcoding plugin for the Canon 5D, but it only works with files shot in the HD format, which get converted to Apple ProRes in the FCP's 'log and transfer' window. I've been unable to find any instructions on how to work with standard definition files.
    I imported the native H.264 files into the FCP, and found, of course, that I can play the video quite smoothly as it is. There's even a timeline setting that allows me to edit without rendering. But I'm afraid that if I work with the native files, I won't be able to master them to tape at the end.
    Any pointers on how best to go about this would be most useful!

    Try using Compressor to convert to the standard PAL frame size using DV50. Good luck and whip the cameraperson.
