SX50 HS with Field Monitor

Hi,
Is it possible to connect the SX50 HS during shooting to an external Monitor via the HDMI output and do the composing / focusing on the much bigger screen?
Unfortunately I have no Mini-HDMI cable to test, so before I invest in cable and monitor I prefer to ask.
Thanks
Robert

CHDK does have Remote options for using several controls, but none for viewing live streams which I'm assuming what is meant by the OP - yes? I've been all over the CHDK PDF and there isn't a mention of streaming being made available to see better the Focussing and so on. Is there a loupe "shroud" that one of the Hoodman options:

OK, I just tried with a mini to standard HDMI to my pro field monitor, which I do use with my Canon XF300, but to test I lashed it up to my SX50  - and no. I can't get a live stream from the SX50 output to see, only on Viewing previously captured work through Review. Nothing live.
Grazie

  • No  Bars In field monitor

    The only way I can get to bars in the field monitor is by turning on blue button. Then blue only comes on when blue setting is clicked off. Making it nearly impossible to calibrate the field monitor. I am using Vista, but this problem only arose recently. Anyone having the same problem? May try re-installing but hear a lot of horror stories about that route as well. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Yup, tried restarting, rebooting etc.
    Guess I will go the deactivate and re-install route and see what happens. After all, things were fine until recently. I am wondering if this is yet another "peculiarity" of Vista since when launching the app I now get a message that the Windows "scheme" has been changed due to incompatibility with a running program. Don't know why that would affect the color bars though. May be time to break down and scrounge the money for a Firestore. Not exactly the solution I was hoping for:>(
    Anyway thanks for the input Mark. If I figure anything out I will post.

  • NO COLOR in Field Monitor of Adobe OnLocation

    CONFIGURATION:
    OnLocation CS3 (Trial), with XP Home SP2, Dell Dimention 4400, and NVidia AGP GeForce 5200 128MB video card, and 21" Optiquest Q110 monitor.
    Video card supports 2 monitors analog (DB15) and DVI. In my configuration only analog output and single monitor is connected. There is also standard FireWire 1394 port where camera is connected. All works fine...
    THE PROBLEM:
    ... except BARS and live feed image from camera, are always displayed in BLACK and WHITE (no color) but BLUE BARD are displayed in BLUE shades cirrectly. Monitor was callibrated and adjusted properly with NVidia settings (contrast, brightness, gamma, etc.) and all other applications are displayed in COLOR properly.
    NOTES:
    I understand that Field Monitor use overlay to display images, it should work OK as other video applications using overlay display work properly (e.g. Windows Media Player).
    QUESTION:
    What are technical reguirements for video (cards/monitors) to work properly with OnLocation as I couldn't find ANY information on Adobe website or anywhere else. Or, if anybody had similar problem and would like to share solution I would appreciate.

    All turned out OK. It was just wrong setting for Field Monitor.
    Everything works properly and live feed is now in full COLOR.

  • Mac Book Pro as field monitor?

    Would it be possible to use the Mac Book Pro (the new 15" or 17") as a field monitor when shooting with a Sony PMW-EX3?
    That would be neat to use the screen as a field monitor, then edit on the same machine...
    Wouldn't that save in not having to have a monitor for the director?
    If possible, how could it be done?
    Thanks!

  • OLCS3 Field Monitors display black video in single display

    I am using OL CS3 on WinXPSP2 with Canon HV20 camcorder on FireWire to my Lenovo T60 laptop, and had some success in getting clips recorded yesterday. However, no luck today. The Field Monitors do not show the live video feed, but remain black.
    I rebooted my laptop, plugged in FireWire port (in an Adaptec PCMCIA card), started OL, and turned on HV20 camcorder. In OL, the Canon HV20 is listed in the Devices list, and selecting it causes Field Monitor to display text label "canon hv20 camcorder". The Field Monitor(s) still show black video...while the camcorder display shows the live image.
    My laptop has only the integrated LCD panel display in use (as at boot time), the video adapter is ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 which does support dual displays. I used ATI Catalyst sw to check the video settings, which indicate there is only one display in use, it is not running clone mode or extended desktop, and the video overlay is set to show in Standard Dual Mode (which indicates video would show on both Main display and Secondary displays in original source video aspect if two displays were in use).
    I read the Adobe knowledge base kb402180 "Field monitor does not display video when used on a computer with dual monitors (OnLocation CS3)" but it does not seem to solve my problem.
    I can use Premier Pro CS3 to capture video I recorded to tape on the HV20 using the same hw setup. So it seems the FireWire link is okay, the camera can push a video stream on it, and so I remain suspicious of the video overlay settings. Only other thing is maybe the camera is not pushing live video stream to the FireWire cable? I'll check on that.
    Anyone have any help?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Brooce,
    Thanks for the tip on the bug form...that is great.
    As it turns out, I ran a parallel request into the Adobe support forum, and Erik H got me the answer to this problem yesterday....I found that deleting the appProps.xml file in C:\Documents and Settings\(your user folder)\Local Settings\Application
    Data\Adobe\OnLocation CS3 solved my problem.
    MY GUESS
    I use my laptop with dual external displays most of the time, but while trying to record with On Location I only use the integrated LCD panel while in the studio. I am guessing that OL gets confused if I happen to run it in both of these hardware configurations....the appProps.xml could get written with dual displays in my office and then OL might expect them even though the current hw config is a single panel while in the studio.

  • You cannot shadow a session with multiple monitors enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Searching through the forums (and according to KB2484290) it appears that there is no solution to this problem.  We are rolling out thin clients that are using dual monitors exclusively and we were very surprised to find out that we couldn't shadow
    sessions with dual monitors (which to us means that we can't shadow ANY sessions).  This now completely changes our approach to managing these devices. 
    We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Remote Desktop Services installed.  The thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with the latest updates / RDP client. All steps have been followed to ensure that the apropriate settings and
    permissions have been set up to allow access into the session. 
    We tested by unchecking the RDP setting “use all my monitors for the remote session”, with that setting disabled shadowing worked
    Questions:
    1. KB2484290 is from Dec 2010 - It's now April 2012, is there a workaround / hotfix for this issue that will allow us to shadow sessions using the native Microsoft tools?
    2. Are there any recommended alternatives (software)?  Free/Paid - doesn't matter we just need something that will work.  I'm sure there are a few options out there but I am looking for suggestions for what people have used in the past that worked
    best for them to help us narrow down the choices.

    Hi,
    In my experience, so far, the workaround is Remote Assistance, Remote Assistance supports multiple monitors, and is the presently recommended solution if you need this functionality. Remote Assistance is a Windows Server Feature that must be explicitly installed
    on Windows Server 2008 R2; it is already installed with the client versions of the operating system.

  • Please help with strange monitor/Lightroom 4 interaction problem

    I bought a Dell Ultrasharp U3011 yesterday, and I'm now facing a very strange problem. It's sort of related to the common discussed issue of Lightroom's color management, but there is a twist here. I'll explain.
    The monitor I had been using (and still have) was a Samsung SyncMaster 244T. I had no problems at all with it.
    With the U3011, I've run into this problem:
    -When I view files in Lightroom 4, the colors are muted and contrast low. The same files seen in Xnview, ACDSee Pro (with the color management turned off), Digital Photo Professional (colorspace set to sRGB), are much more vivid. In Photoshop, if I use the default color setting, it looks muted like Lightroom (I'm guessing because Adobe products have default color profile set to ProPhoto RGB), but if I set the color profile to the monitor's profile, it becomes vivid and matches the other software I mentioned. If I use any other profile such as sRGB IEC81966-2.1, ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, etc, it doesn't match the other software I mentioned. This is strange because the other ones match each other because they are set to sRGB, but in Photoshop, even if I set the color profile to sRGB, it still doesn't match.
    -In Lightroom 4, even if I use Soft Proofing, nothing changes. It's as if Soft Proofing is broken--it doesn't do anything, no matter what color profile I choose.
    -Now, here's the twist. I didn't have any of these problems when I use the 244T. This leads me to assume that the problem is how the U3011 is interacting with Lightroom. I did a quick comparison of opening up the same image on both monitors in ACDSee Pro, and they looked identical. (At this point, I had the U3011's preset set to sRGB. This is the only preset that makes the U3011 look identical to the 244T).
    Next, I did an experiment, and I was very surprised by what happened. This is what I did:
    With both monitors as a dual display setup, I turned on Before/After comparison in Lightroom (made sure both version had the same setting and look identical by copying the After's setting to Before). I then moved Lightroom's window so that one photo is seen on the U3011, and the other shows up on the 244T. And OMIGOD, they looked different! Why is this happening? I've already established that the same image looks identical on both monitors when viewed with ACDSee Pro, but in Lightroom, they looked different on each monitor.
    And then things got even more weird. When I dragged the Lightroom window fully to one monitor or the other, Lightroom actually started changing the colors right before my eyes as it responded to which monitor was displaying which photo! Lightroom was somehow interacting with the monitor in real-time. So if the Before looked muted on U3011 and the After looked vivid on the 244T, when I drag the whole window into 244T, the muted Before will stay muted for about a second or so, and then it'll suddenly change and become identical to After. And when I did the reverse (drag the window into U3011), the reverse also happened--the vivid After will stay vivid on U3011 for about a second or so, and then it would suddenly change and become muted. Lightroom was identifying each monitor's color profile setting and changing the images according to which monitor was doing the displaying, and when the images were split between the two monitors, Lightroom was slitting them into two different settings to match whichever monitor is displaying which side.
    So what the hell does that all mean, and what can I do to get Lightroom to display the photos so that they look the same as on all the other software I mentioned (so I don't have to play the guessing game of editing the images, export them out to other software to check how they turned out). Also, remember that I didn't have this problem with the 244T--Lightroom displayed the photos the same way as the other software I mentioned. The problem right now is that the U3011 is somehow causing Lightroom to display the photos differently, and no color profile presets in the OSD control can make them match.
    I need to solve this problem, or else my last resort would be to return the U3011 and try another brand/model and see if that helps.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, that's basically sensible advice you got there (but I was more succinct ).
    An important point that was mentioned over there is that you must not confuse document/source profile with monitor profile. They are both links in the color management chain, but they serve different purposes. The document profile defines the colors in a standard color space. The monitor profile describes the monitor's own native color space - its response to the RGB numbers it's fed. So one is translated into the other, by the application on the fly, through a normal profile conversion, and that way the colors appear on-screen as intended.
    If those two profiles/color spaces are roughly similar, as they would be in the case of an sRGB document displayed on a standard gamut display - then you can get by without color management. It won't look too far off. But a wide gamut monitor changes the rules, because its native color space is not similar to sRGB, it's much closer to Adobe RGB.
    Anyway, this is what color management is about. Any profile can be translated into any other. So in this context it doesn't really matter what color space the document is in - as long as you have a good monitor profile it will display correctly (within practical limitations). Lightroom is a sort of special case because its internal working color space is not one of the standard ones, instead it's a modified ProPhoto space with linear gamma. But the basic principle is exactly the same: source profile > monitor profile.
    Just to go a little more in-depth while I'm at it: When you calibrate a display you actually do two separate things. You first calibrate it to a more or less standardized response. But that's just a linear one-dimensional correction. It does nothing about how color is actually reproduced, how red is red for instance. The calibration is global and affects everything system-wide because it's read into the video card or monitor hardware.
    Then, once calibrated, a monitor profile is made. This is a full, complete and accurate description of the monitor's behavior, in three-dimensional color space. The precision level is much higher. This profile is used, by color managed applications like Lightroom and Photoshop, to display the image.
    Other applications that are not color managed will simply ignore this profile, and send the RGB numbers straight through to the display, unmodified. With a standard gamut monitor (and an sRGB document) the difference won't be too dramatic and you may not notice it unless you look closely. But a wide gamut monitor will make the difference jump out immediately.

  • Mac Mini Won't Boot with VGA Monitor Connected

    I have a new Mac Mini connected to an older VGA monitor using the Apple brand VGA adapter.  The mini is fully up to date and runs perfectly when booted.  However, if I reboot the mini with the VGA monitor connected, it fails to boot.  I just hear the faint chime sound every other second.  There is no output to the monitor and the only way I can get it to boot is to disconnect the monitor and then power cycle the mini.  I can reconnect the monitor just seconds after powering back on and it finishes booting properly.
    Anyone else experience this?  It is very frustrating.  I've also tested with an HDMI connected monitor (without the VGA adapter) and it boots just fine and the display works properly.
    Thanks!

    Okay, I'm back with good news: I have found two remedies for the problem which will hopefully solve it for you as well.
    Given that the issue only occurs when certain monitors are connected, I concluded that the root of it must be a bug in the Mac's firmware related to DDC (Display Data Channel) handling, and that the most promising way to address it should be to just disable the DDC.
    Workaround #1: If your monitor has BNC connectors, use a VGA to BNC cable.
    In this configuration the DDC pins are not connected to the monitor at all. This did indeed fix the problem - my Mac mini booted without a problem with the monitor connected. However, I was not completely satisfied with this solution, because VGA to BNC cables are usually quite heavy and inflexible, and do no go together well with Apple's MDP to VGA adapter and the Mini Displayport/Thunderbolt port which has no locking mechanism.
    Workaround #2: Remove pin 12 of the VGA plug.
    Pin 12 of the VGA plug connects the serial data line of the DDC. Pulling out this pin with a pair of needle nose pliers will effectively disable DDC. I hesitated to do this to my cable (a direct MDP to VGA cable which eliminates the need for a separate adapter dangling from the Mac) and therefore bought a tiny VGA male to female adapter (also called port saver, e.g. Delock 65250) to perform the surgery on that. This has done the trick and my Mac mini has started up fine ever since.
    Of course, without DDC the Mac won't know the model name and capabilities of the attached monitor and thus offer some resolution and frequency settings which the monitor may not support, but that's a small drawback compared to having to pull out the monitor cable everytime you turn on or restart your Mac.

  • The data type of InfoObject 0ORGUNIT is incompatible with field 0ORGUNIT

    I am trying to create a DataSource in BW to load the organizational hierarchy from HR R/3 to BW.  I get the message "The data type of InfoObject 0ORGUNIT is incompatible with field 0ORGUNIT," 
    Our BW version is 3.5; the version of HR R/3 is SAP ECC 6.0.
    I'm not sure what this message means but if I continue to click OK, I get transfer structures for the org attributes and hierarchies but not the text.  The key to the text is 60 characters.  Shouldn't the key be the org unit, which is in format NUMC 8?
    I was able to create this DataSource last summer, when HR was in a different version (4.6?) with no issues. Does anybody have any idea what's wrong and what I can do about it?
    Thanks!

    Would be nice if you could share the resolution they found,
    since that might help other people as well.
    For instance, me.... as we face exactly the same problem at the moment !!

  • Mac mini will not boot up with two monitors attached

    New Mac mini running OS 10.10.1. I have a LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port, and a Cintiq 21 UX LCD monitor attached to a thunderbolt port.
    It boots up properly with only the first LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port.
    When I leave both monitors connected before starting the computer I get no chime, and a black screen. The light on the front of the Mac mini comes on, but nothing else happens. I have to turn off the Mac mini, unplug the second monitor and then reboot. It always starts up perfectly then. After starting the computer, I plug the second monitor in, and everything is fine.
    It’s kind of a pain in the neck to constantly plug and unplug the second monitor from the back of the Mac mini. Is there anything I’m overlooking?

    Thank you, Illaass! Resetting the SMC solved the problem! I tried that first because I would prefer not to lose any preferences, and also because it was the easiest to try. You must be a genius in addition to being such a good egg!
    (This is the number of smiles I smiled after my Mac mini booted properly with both monitors connected.)

  • How to create an internal table with fields from different sources

    Hi.
    I need to create an internal table where some of the fields are from a database table, and the other fields are user specified. How do i do that?
    Example:
    DB table ZTAB with fields ZTAB-FIELD1, ZTAB-FIELD2.
    I want to create an internal table ITAB with the fields ZTAB-FIELD1, ZTAB-FIELD2 from ZTAB. In addition, I also want to have one more field RECORD_NO, which is not from ZTAB. How do I do it? Could I do something like below?
    DATA BEGIN OF ITAB.
            INCLUDE STRUCTURE ZTAB.
    DATA RECORD_NO TYPE I.
    DATA END OF UPLINE.
    Or, are there more efficient way of doing it? Thanks.

    hi KIan,
    go:
    general type
    TYPE : BEGIN OF ty_itab,
               field1 TYPE ztab-field1,
               field2 TYPE ztab-field2,
    *your own fields here:
               field TYPE i,
               field(30) TYPE c,
               END OF ty_itab.

  • Creating a view on KONA & KONH -  Failed with 'Field name DATAB not unique'

    Hi all,
        I am creating a view on KONA (Rebate Agreement) & KONH (Conditions Header) tables. The link is KONA-KNUMA = KONH-KNUMA_AG.
       The field 'DATAB' exists in both tables and I have included those two fields under 'View Fields' . When I tried to activate the View, it fails with 'Field name DATAB not unique'.
       The following is the complete error message:
    Message no. MC060
    Diagnosis
    When you define aggregates (views, lock objects or matchcode objects), you can assign the aggregate fields your own names (the system assigns names to the basic fields automatically). These names must be unique.
    System response
    The system has established that the names assigned to the aggregate fields in an aggregate definition are not unique and issues an error message.
    Procedure
    Assign unique names to the aggregate fields in question.
       Why I am not able to create the view after including a field that EXISTS in two tables, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Hi,
    you can include both fields (but what for??); most likely KNUMH will also complain after fixing DATAB (just a guess...).
    You can include both fields if you name them differently (different aliases):
    In the view fields tab, enter two different names in the column "view field".
    this will work.
    hope this helps...

  • Why the Slowdown with External Monitor?

    I have a new Retina iMac with a 4 Gig Core i7 processor, 32 Gigs of RAM and 4 Gigs of VRAM and the AMD Radeon R9 M295X chipset.  My 3 TB hard drive is well under half full.  Everything works great . . . until I attach an external monitor.
    I've attached a Dell 2815Q via one of the thunderbolt ports on my iMac into the Dell's DisplayPort.  The connection is with a cable, supplied with the monitor.
    All computer functions are so painfully slow, it becomes barely usable.  Finder functions--moving windows, mouse operations are like molasses.  Scrolling is so bad that reaction time is near 5 seconds and then it continues to scroll after the physical mouse gestures cease.
    Why is this so sluggish?  I would have thought with the processing power and video capabilities of my new iMac that this problem would not occur.  When I disconnect the Dell, of course, everything is speedy again.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?  The Dell provides beautiful images, but it is virtually worthless with the slowdown in speed.
