SVGA Monitor, HDTV and Video Capture

Can you connect Mac Pro to a SVGA monitor (LG Flatron 995FT 19") or HDTV (LG 32LT75 32")? Is Mac Pro the only Mac for which you can buy a HD video capture card for your Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games?

To connect a SVGA monitor to your DVI connector you'll need http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8754G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1ODg
To connect a HDMI equipped TV set to your DVI port you'll need http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR842LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

JMF and video capture card?

i wanna ask how can i usea video capture card with the jmf and record video
i try to detect my capture card but the jmf didnt detecte it please pleas help me

hi,
i use a tv-card with my camera through linking them with a composite cable. Also, my tv card has capturing capability and i use JMF to do a capture program with these tools and the result is good for me. The monitor.zip file wihich contains a sample of capturing and monitoring simultaneously exists on sun.com. I use it and it was very helpfull for me.
JMF detects cards through its 'CaptureDeviceManager' which is a controller type object. If you specify like Vector devices = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null) -> You will be get the list of appropriate devices on your pc.

N96 and video capture

is there a particular piece of hardware and software people use to capture video from the TV out cable for the N96.
I've tried into an ATI TV card and a gamebridge and the picture is NOT good at all. Doesn't even show up on the gamebridge.
NEED HELP URGENTLY

Nope I've used it all the time.
Just check that you are using the correct settings int he phone (PAL, NTSC, etc.) and match your card.
Some things to keep in mind:
TV out output is VGA but the actual resolution is QVGA as the TV out cable just clones the phone screen. There are two exceptions: PHOTOS and VIDEO. When viewing pictures and watching video this is output at VGA resolution.
I use a Xoltrix tv tuner card.
640K Should be enough for everybody

FMLE and video capture devices

Hi, I have a streaming application that captures camera video
devices and streams using FMS 3.5. Today, I was playing around with
FMLE and it captured the TV cards I have in my computer. I tried my
video object in my Flex app to capture the same TV card that FMLE
captured, but to no avail. Does any one know why the stream from my
TV card is available to FMLE and not to my Flex app video object?
Thanks

Probably FMLE (whatever that is) has acess to the system in
ways that Flex
doesn't.

Synched Audio and Video Capture in JMF?

I am in the planning stages of developing a speaker's corner for our university television station. Essentially, a button pressed by the user and a JSamp will send serial data to the computer(PC) that will execute the capture program. Before I proceed further, will I be able to capture both audio and video so that they will be in synch so that I can later bring both into a commercial video editing platform? Also, does the JMF support capture by firwire or USB only? Most of the forums seem to indicate that it is USB. Thanks, and any other advice would be appreciated.

Dreamcast and video capture adapter USB

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a video capture USB for my dreamcast so I can use my laptop.
Do you know any video capture working on linux?
I will use it only for the dreamcast so I don't need anything sophisticated :-)

Problem w/ Case Statement and Video Capture

Hey!
I've got a question about a topic which seems pretty trivial, but has been giving me quite the trouble for some time now. I was hoping that someone on this forum would be able to help me catch and fix my mistake.
Basically what I'm trying to do is capture video from a camera, run some video analysis for a certain duration, and store the raw footage for that same duration in an avi file. I'm using IMAQdx and a Logitech C920 camera to gather video. When I run the program, I want there to be an output of the raw video on the front panel. When I then hit a button, I would like the camera to save a .avi file of the video for a set number of frames and concurrently run some analysis and display the results on another display on the front panel. The purpose of the raw footage in the .avi file is to be able to run the analysis again at a later date.
I've attached both a screenshot and the .vi file to this post. When I run the current script, I'm confronted with one of two possible errors (not sure why they're different from time to time). The Video Acquisition Block either "Time Out"s or the Write to AVI block issues an incompatible image type error. The reason why I'm baffled by this is because when I take it out of the case statement and have it run with the rest of the program, the .avi file is generated accurately and stored.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings,
Would the time out error happen every time you run the VI? In addition, do these errors have a code?
I was able to replicate the issue and initially believe that it might be that we are simultaneously opening two sessions to the same camera. Could you simply take a finite number of images from the first acquisition and chain the second one via sequence structure? It would limit the viewer to only view the video on the other Image Display during saving the AVI, but it might be worthwhile looking into.
It might also be worthwhile to consider enquewing a certain number of images whenever the button is pressed, but that would require some more programming logic.

Audio and Video Capture, Live: Problems

I am trying to do a live capture of a demonstration using a video camera (DV) and a lavalier mic into a Griffin iMic. For speed's sake, I am trying to eliminate the TO TAPE step. I only want to capture. I can just edit the captured clips that way.
Audio is being picked up through the DV cam, and I cannot seem to force FCP to grab audio from the iMic source... I don't know where to change the audio source. Can someone help me do that? The camera is behind me, and so the sound it picks up is unacceptable.

That's a good idea.
This cam ($200 DV refurb Sony) does not have a mic in. I do have another cam with Mic in, but pluging the lav. mic (mono) into it generates a BUZZ on the other channel. So I have tried that, but it requires a lot of post editing.
My current solution is to record Audio using Sound Studio. I start the audio recording, switch to FCP, start the capture, then smack a couple of sticks together on camera (for my clapper board) and will sync the audio later. Loosk workable. I have two different drives recording data, and the Mac seems to be keeping up (gulp).
Would LOVE to be able to get FCP to only capture video from the DV cam, and audio from the usb iMic. That would be my fastest record-to-final option.
Thanks for the ideas.

Source monitor waveform and video

Is it possible to simultaneously view the audio waveform and composite video in the source monitor?
Thanks

Not as far as I know. You can gang the source and program together though. Or you can also gang the ref. and program monitor.

Video capture and system properties

Hello,
Two questions on mmapi and video capture:
1. On a Samsung SGH-A707 phone, I get a return of 'false' when running
System.getProperty("supports.video.capture"), indicating that it won't
allow video capture thru mmapi. However, when running
System.getProperty("video.encodings"), it returns
'encodings=video/H263'. Isn't this a contradiction? If it doesn't
support capture, why would it show an encoding? Does the return of false
absolutely mean that the phone doesn't support video capture?
What am I missing?
2. On an LG CU500, I get a return of 'true' when running
System.getProperty("supports.video.capture"), indicating that it will
allow video capture thru mmapi. However, running
System.getProperty("video.encodings"), it returns 'encodings=jpeg'. How
is jpeg a video encoding? Isn't this only for snapshots? Do they mean
motion-jpeg?
These are both new-ish phones, and both support video capture natively
(outside of java).
Last question: How widespread is support for video capture thru j2me?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I have recently bought a fifth generation ipod, and have used the video capture feature.
First of all, this should have been posted in the +5th generation iPod Nano+ forum instead of the *5th generation iPod Video* one. Here is the link to this forum for future references.
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=265
When I sync the ipod to itunes on my mac, will I lose this video capture?
No. Videos you take on your iPod have to manually be removed from the iPod either through the iPod itself or by opening up the necessary folders and files on your iPod through Windows Explorer.
And if so, how can I sync the ipod to a new itunes library without losing the video recording I did on the ipod?
Why would you need to worry about this? Was your nano previously synced with another iTunes library? If not, all you should have to do is hook it up to the new iTunes library and you should be good to go. For instructions on how to remove videos from your iPod, see pages 55-56 of your iPod's manual, which can be found below.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_nano_5th_genUserGuide.pdf
Hope this helps.

IDS/IPS signatures to monitor streaming audio/video applications

Hi folks,
Can someone advise on the names or signatures that could be successfully used to monitor the usage of streaming applications on the network. The plan is to feed them to MARS and then create reports on streaming applications utilization to use it later for creation a security policy preventing bandwidth stealing.
Perhaps any suggestions on how to create a custom signature to monitor audio and video streams would be appreciated.
Eugene

Hi Blayne,
I really appreciate your answers and time you spent. I wish this would be helpful not to me only. I'm still confused by all the intrinsic details of how to make a good custom signature. Is there any good guide? May be TAC has its internal guide on how to troubleshoot and create custom signatures based on regex and content type. I'm looking at the TCP packets of the capture made while watching youtube video and this is what comes from the server:

Audio and Video syncing issues

I have a video file where the audio and video file are normal when I play the clip in Quicktime. When I import the file into an FCP project and drag it into the timeline, the audio and video are no longer synced. My sequence setting is ProRes422 as is my video clip. The only difference I can see is that my clip is 24 bit integer and the sequence is 32 bit floating point. Although, this is my 50th project capturing old BetacamSP tapes and all my projects say this and I haven't had a problem until this particular file and not afterwards. Any thoughts?

There you go then ... make sure you monitor audio and video by the same path ie both via the Kona card or both on the Mac ... or use the Playback Offset to compensate for the delay between the Canvas window and the Kona output.
From the manual:
To set the frame offset between the computer display and the external video and audio outputs
Choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
Click the Playback Control tab.
Enter a number of frames in the Frame Offset number field.
Frame offset can be any whole number between 0 and 30. The default value is 4. For example, if a video monitor connected to your DV camcorder shows your program four frames later than your computer display, a frame offset of 4 will synchronize the two.
Note: Depending on your external monitor configuration, you may need to experiment with frame offset values to synchronize the external monitor and the computer display.
Click OK.
Play your video in the Canvas or Viewer and compare the video offset between your external monitor and your computer display.
If the computer display and external monitor are still not synchronized, repeat steps 1 through 5 using different frame offset values until the display and monitor are in sync.

Video capture stops when connected to FCP using fire wire

Captured video using Sony VX2000 using 48 khz and 16 bit audio stereo mode. Using Sony Premium miniDV tapes.
Video plays back fine when not connected via firewire to G4 dual 867 with 2 GB Ram.
Using default capture preset of 48 khz 16 bit, connect fire wire and video capture randomly stops stating it has lost connection or is missing capture data. If I switch to just plain capture using non controllable device, I have the same issue except the tape keeps playing but FCP stops capturing.
Tried other tapes and no problem.
Tried other fire wire cable and no problem.
I am having problems only on this tape and when connected.
When not connected it plays back on the camera with no stopping.
Steve Bowers

To answer your questions--
Dumping preferences usually does not cause problems. More likely you updated some part of your system or are having other hardware issues.
No updates or hardware issues. The original problem (discussed in another thread) was one where the video is skewed inward on the lower right corner. Apple instructed me to dump the preferences and start from scratch. That I did and now I am experiencing problems I did not have before. If it is hardware problems, then I guess it is just coincidental that FCP is just now presenting problems. However, the other problems I am having are software related and does not involve the camera.
What software versions of FCP, OSX and QT are you running and have you updated any of them recently?
FCP version-5.1.2
OSX-10.4.8
QT-7.1.3
Is there anything special about the 'difficult' tape?
No.
Did you record it?
Yes
Was it the last of a bunch?
Not sure. I buy bulk so this was one in a box of 5 that is was in a case of 50 boxes.
Are you using the same camera as the playback device?
Yes
Does it work if you use another computer?
Not sure what you mean. I have only one MAC G4.
Was it recorded using another camera in a non-DV format?
No. Playback is through same camera is was recorded on.

Video Capture Direct to IPOD

Does anyone know of a way to use an IPOD video as a DVR - without a computer and video capture card. Is there some sort of device one can plug the IPOD into that connects directly to a TV signal (e.g. Composite, RCA, Component, S-video, etc) and would allow you to record that signal directly to the IPOD?

I don't believe such a device exists (yet).
Cheers!
