Suggestions for a 24" monitor

I'm think'in of getting a new 24" monitor for my macpro and am looking to spend around $600. I do mostly graphic design and editing work. Any suggestions?

Re the Samsung T260HD: Reportedly, it is not HDCP compliant. This means very few people are going to be using it with their PS3s or Blu-Ray players.
Some have said the T240HD is HDCP-compliant, but I'd research this before committing. The main advantage of the TxxxHD series is the built-in digital TV tuner. If you don't need that, then buy something else.
Also: Both the T260 and T240 use TN panels -- this is confirmed by the 160 viewing angle spec. TN + non-wall-mountable monitor + non-adjustable stand = dodgy posture compensation. Think carefully about whether you'll be able to view the monitor at the correct height and angle without adjusting the monitor itself.
The Dell 2408 is a good monitor in certain ways, but not for gaming. The Samsung PVA panel it uses already has ghosting/lag issues, but the 2408's lag is worse than tested Samsung models -- possibly because of its way of dealing with massive IO. The 3008 doesn't share any of these issues (it uses an S-IPS panel) and has the 2408's excellent connectivity. Of the monitors we're discussing, it's probably the best, but it's also more expensive.
Even so, the 2408's PVA panel is superior to the TXXHD's TN in terms of viewing angles and realistic colors. It's a better monitor for movie watching and still image editing, but I wouldn't buy it if I favored first person shooters.

Suggestion for a Video Monitor For FCP

I am looking for a video monitor to use with FCP. The Sony PVM-14L2 13" has been recommended. Is anyone familiar with this monitor or do you have a monitor which is working well for you that you would recommend.
1) Should I be looking for anything key features not listed below?
2) Will I need any other hook ups to make this work with my system?
(Right now I am using a JVC SR-VS30U Dual Deck. A firewire from the computer to the deck and component from the deck to to t.v. the deck also has s-video)
3) When I move into High Definition will this monitor work?
Key Features of the Sony PVM-14L2 13"
Variety of Input Options
The monitor accepts composite, S-video, component and RGB signals standard without options. Serial Digital signals can be viewed with the optional
(with audio) or BKM-120D (without embedded audio). Even
, Sony's version of Fire Wire can be displayed with the optional BKM-155DV board.
Beam Current Feedback Feature
In studio environments, monitors tend to be left on for long periods. This practice leads to white-balance drift and unstable color reproduction. The Beam-Current Feedback circuit corrects for drift over long-term usage of the monitor.
Professional Set-up Features
Calibrating monitors assures that each display is showing correct colors which will match any other correctly calibrated display. The PVM-14L2 has set-up functions like Blue-Gun, H/V Delay, and selectable color temperature for these critical calibrations.

Sounds like a great choice as long as the size works for you. A small truly high-res monitor is much more useful than a big impressive soft one for analysis monitoring.
1) I don't think you need anything else unless the JVC thing doesn't work out. In that case you can try your camcorder, or a capture device such as ADS Pyro, Matrox MXO, or one of the Aja or Decklink cards. Depends...
2) JVC SR-VS30U - I don't know, there are a lot of devices that won't simply pass FireWire through, including many or most DVD recorders. Your best bet is to try it and monitor it on whatever you have.
If you're on NTSC you'll have to pay attention to the black setup. Many consumer digital devices these days won't put in the 7.5IRE setup for North America.
That's OK as long as you aren't using it to do analog conversions. If you can get FCP bars through the thing and set the monitor up properly to them, you should be OK. I'm sure the monitor can be set to 0IRE in menus if need be.
3) It won't show you an HD signal. If you're using the MXO it will give you a realtime SD downconvert to monitor. But that monitor won't display anything but NTSC and PAL. If it did I would probably say that 13" is too small.

Suggestions for Application Monitoring Software

Can anyone suggest software that will monitor applications to determine if they have crashed, and relaunch them if they have?
I can't use Apple's Server Monitor as my server is a desktop Mac. We have an obscure app called iCalPublish that combines iCal .ics calendars and republishes it as one calendar. At least once a day it stops working with an error message requiring me to quit and relaunch. I wish I could find a replacement for iCalPublish but it seems the only app that combines calendars and it does it very well.

I'd like to try something else please. The reason is as follows:
When I put in a name for the document and then scan the documents, the file still comes up as untitled. I don't get that.
When I want to rotate a page that is supposed to be landscape and do the rotation in Image Capture, all it does is cut the top and bottom out--it rotates the selection, not the image. I know I can do this in a PDF editor but why not have everything I need done in one application?
When I do want to select A4 size, I don't see it unless I hide details. Seems a bit strange.
Thanks,
Tony
Are you scanning into a program, or to a file? Either way, it seems to work for me with Preview. I didn’t try another app.
I can’t replicate your other problems, either. Rotation works as expected and I have both Letter and A4 available on both interfaces.
I have an Epson all-in-one, though.
Perhaps if you listed your HP model number, others with that same printer/scanner could help.
One thing to try, though. Log into another user on the Mac and try to scan. Same results?
Boot into Safe Mode and try to scan. Same results?
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Those two steps will see if the problem is system-wide or caused by some additional software you have running at startup.

Affordable Display/Monitor Suggestions for G5?

I'm currently shopping around for an affordable 19" display for my Powermac G5. I would love to own one of the immaculate Apple displays but they're way beyond my budget.
Can you shoot over some suggestions for 19" LCD Flat panel displays that are affordable? ($250 max)
*Is there anything I need to keep in mind "specs-wise" while shopping for a display? Are there compatability factors I need to be aware of since this is for a G5? Any info/tips would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks much!

Any suggestions for what to look for in a good production monitor?

I'm in the market for a production monitor and I'm looking at B&H's online catalogue now. Any tips on what to look for and if anyone has any recommendations or favorites? Thanks.

it would help if you could determine a budget and then shop for models within or slightly above that budget.
basically, some necessary items are switchable aspect ratio, underscan/overscan and then some sort of blue check for proper chroma and phase calibration. some monitors have a gray scale blue check which i think completely blows. it's better to have a monitor with viewable red, blue and green guns as the blue gun is more accurate for calibration than a grayscale blue check feature. also, there are other diagnostic functions that are viewable by using the red or green guns to view color bars.
some other nice features to have are horizontal/vertical delay, sdi inputs, hd-sdi inputs.
it's been mentioned in the last larry jordan newsletter than the crt monitor is going the way of the dinosaur and now sony and panasonic are marketing lcd products only. i think this is a very sad trend. as a freelance video operator/camera shader, i am of the opinion that lcd monitors are horrible; they hurt my eyes and the color rendition isn't as accurate as a crt. leitch is now manufacturing an lcd scope which is just terrible to behold. the black area of the vectorscope is a huge, amorphous blob of white light that shows no signal detail whatsoever.
i don't know what to make of larry's statement as a quick check of the sony business website reveals only bvm crt's in their product lineup, no more pvm series. i haven't looked at the panasonic product catalog yet.
although the sony pvm L5 that shane mentioned is a quality product, to my eyes, i would get an ikegami monitor but you'll find that the superior imaging of the ikegami also has a superior price point.
one last point, don't buy an used monitor from ebay, you don't know where it's been or how it's been treated. give jvc monitors a fair shake as well, not a bad product for the price, no matter what their reputation is.
good luck.

ArchWiki: suggestion for a new page layout

Finally, I have some time to spare for ArchWiki improvement.
I have modified my article on CMYK support in The GIMP as an example.
Please take a look at it here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMY … n_The_GIMP
The code to produce the box on the right is here:
{{sn|'''Article summary:'''
This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images.
It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.

*[[Using lprof to profile monitors]]
This is the best we can do with current ArchWiki setup. It would be even better if we could list categories in the box, as well as i18n links.

I've been tinkering with the templates. It's fixed now, I think.
Anyway, the templates used for the job can be seen from the code:

As you can see, it's a bit more typing than before, but it sure looks better. I might shorten the names for the templates. I wanted to make them memorable so they are a bit long.
As you can see, the problem of i18n links integration was fixed, so you can use existing i18n template and combine with the new "Article summary" set.
I will modify the article about writing summaries to include those templates and examples.
EDIT: :oops: the i18n links in the article are just examples. Don't use them, since they lead to non-existing pages.
EDIT2: Okay, I've played around with the appearance of the summary box, but I'm at work now, so it's going nowhere. I'll play with it some more when I get home.

Recommendations for a new monitor?

Greetings,
I'm looking for a new monitor for my Powermac G4 450 MHz AGP (sawtooth).
I'm currently using a Formac Gallery 1740 after 6 years it's starting to faded out on me.
I'd really appreciate any suggestion or Recommendations for a new one.

Cannot display the screen of the macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. Connection to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of Lion. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

Back ground job for dead line monitoring.

Hi all,
In Production, job name: SWWDHEX is scdhuled for dead line monitoring.
I want to know the condition periodic schedule of background job,
i am not able find out in Sm37. it is executing three in times in day, two times in one day, two, three days it is not executing.
can you please suggest me that what is periodic time is needed for this job.
Thanks,
Surya.

Hi Kjetil,
You are absolutely correct and I firmly believe scheduled deadlines is the way to go for the following reason:
A few years ago I was driving into the mountains to go fishing. It was a Friday and my project was finished and I was looking forward to catching some trout. Unfortunately I received a call from a customer with whom I had no contact who had gone live with HR/ESS that morning. basically their system had ground to a halt at about 10am. They were desparate so I turned around and went back.
The problem was they had set deadlines to 5 minutes in their testing system and this had gone to Production. And their 20 thousand staff had been sitting on their leave and overtime requests for a month. All processes in their system were either running SWWDHEX, or scheduling to run SWWDHEX.
Anyway, not a big deal to fix although the had to stop their EP and kill the outstanding processes before transporting the correct deadline timings and setting for scheduled deadlines. But I was too late to join my compatriots up in the mountains.
So:
A happy customer - 1 day;
Reputation in workflow - 10% better;
Not being at the best fishing in living memory (the party caught 20) - priceless.
Cheers
Gareth

Is 1080p enough for 27" ext. monitor for MBA 2013?

Hi Apple forums,
So, I was looking for an external monitor to use with my Macbook Air 2013 (Base model, 256gb ssd)
Basically, I'm really hesitant between 2 monitors: The Asus MX239H and MX279H. As the name suggests, one of them is a 23 inch monitor, and the other one 27. The remaining specs are the same between the 2 monitors, and there is about a 80€ price difference. (About 100 USD).
Now, I'm this hesitant as I don't know how 1080p resolution on 27" monitor would look, as it surely won't be as sharp as the 23". The monitor is going to be used for a variety of tasks:
- With my 2013 MBA, mainly for browsing, document editing, video streaming.
- With a Windows laptop from work (This isn't all too relevant, it's just going to be a VGA connection, doesn't have to look great)
- Potential future gaming with Xbox One or PS4.
Does anyone have a 1080p 27inch monitor? Does the ppi look bad? Is text really disturbing to read as some people on forums suggest?
I'd say I'm sitting about 50cm / 1.6 feet at distance from the monitor.
Any suggestions or opinions would be great.
Thanks!
Cihad

I actualy recently got a new 2013 IMAC and I am finishing up editing a 6 Camera multiclip project. I bought the 27" because it was the only one that comes with the 3.5 GHz I7 chip which Compressor and Final Cut can activate its multiicores and on board Intel graphics. I have the top graphics (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB) & the 1 TB flash internal storage (realize, it is not a SSd drive bogged down by Sata constraints, it is PCIe)- it is rediculous fast. Over 768 MB/sec. BOTH read & write of 5 Gig files in BM test. I have 16 gigs of Ram but can upgrade anytime on the 27". The 21" is sealed & I reason will run hotter.
More to the point, this 6 camera shoot of 2 one hour sets of a rock band performance shot and editied natively - Sony XDCAM. I am doing edits of each song but leave the One hour of synced clips on the timeline while I add effects, titles, etc. then "select" and "share" each song --- Not a hiccup. I am so glad that I didn't get any less of a machine. The hottest it has ever gotten (150 F) is when transcoding. Using Compressor, Final Cut or even MPeg Streamclip makes it work but it is still very very fast.
I got a Lacie 10 TB 5 Big Thunderbolt raid array. In Raid 0, it reads & writes at over 700 MB/sec as well.
I have had several computers since 1989 -- both PC & Mac. This Imac is perfect for Final Cut X.
I highly advise to not skimp. Technolgy moves too fast. Just do it.

Design Suggestions for Multiple DaqMX Task Streaming App?

I'm working on a LabVIEW application in which I'm streaming high-speed data to disk from multiple PXI devices simultaneously. Each device has its own DaqMX task, and all tasks stream to the same file. The PXI device configuration (which devices are in the chassis, which slots they're in, and which channels to read from each device) is determined at runtime.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a design model for this? To make matters worse, I'd like to be able to specify a channel to monitor its data during the streaming. I'm thinking the Producer-Consumer model is the basic approach, and I'm at the point where I have an array of DaqMX tasks, one for each device. I could probably extend that array to be an array of clusters containing:
   1) DAQ Command (e.g. Initialize, Start, Stop, Acquire, etc)
   1) Task ID
   2) Control reference to 2-D array (where each DaqMX read can be stored)
   3) Array of channel names (to allow selection of channel to be monitored
This could be passed as notifier data, to a data collection subVI, but the part I'm struggling with is finding the best way to run X number of tasks in parallel, where X is not known until runtime.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input. With regards to the file format, the decision has been made by my superiors not to use TDMS - unfortunate, but NI hasn't provided the information to write a MatLab file reader, which is a requirement. So, I've created a custom file format tailored to the needs of my application, but generic enough to be used for other apps. With it, I've been able to stream 8 channels at 800KHz (4 channels each from 2 PXI-6120s) without breaking a sweat. However, the performance varies greatly depending on which slots the cards are in (but that's a whole different discussion - see the PXI forum for that one). Once NI solves that one, I'll feel a lot more comfortable.
I have already made reentrant subVIs that can perform a specific DAQ task. The problem with a for loop is that the VI sits and wait for a start trigger, then acquires the streaming data. I can't start the next VI because I'm in the first one. I thought about creating a data collection VI, and this VI would start up to 6 other VIs in parallel, based on how many and which cards were present. It's a bit messy, because each slot can contain one of two devices, so I'd need to check which type it was before calling it. I'm thinking I'll have to create the task list and the references to the data in the main GUI loop, and then pass this using a notifier or queue to the data collection loop.

Suggest a good free monitoring tools

Hi Folks,
Please suggest a good free monitoring tools like big brother, hobbit. Only for solaris servers. it should be easy to configure.

For system resource checking,
- prstat
- sar
- iostat
- zpool iostat ( if the filesystem is ZFS )
- mdb ( Memory check)
example) echo ::memstat | mdb -k
I assume all free tools are from the commands above.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
