T430S - need help outputting 4k resolution

I just acquired a Seiki 39" 4k resolution monitor (SE39UY04). Intel 4000 graphics support 4k resolution. Displayport 1.4 (as equipped on the T430s) supports 4k (at 30 hz). I have approved displayport to hdmi converter, and a 4k enabled hdmi cable that came with the screen.
I cannot figure out how to enable 4k resolution. I even tried forcing it in the Intel driver app, but I'm told the settings exceed available bandwidth. I set refresh all the way to 24 (the lowest valid number). Color depth is fixed at 32 bit - cutting that in half would certainly help, but I can't seem to change that (32bit is the only option in the drop down).
Any suggestions for getting 3840 x 2160 @ 30 hz? I don't need more than 16bit color depth if that helps.
My target is business applications, no games or 3D. Just big spreadsheets and lots of multitasking.
Thanks!

if you read the spec, the 4K@30hz is only supported through HDMI, it requires a HDMI 1.4 to be exact. Lenovo ThinkPad T430s/T430 DP don't support hdmi 1.4, which is why you couldn't get it to work.
But the DP 1.1 definitely can support 4K resolution (correction: DP 1.1 can only support 4K @ 30 hz or less), which is why the displayport splitter works.

Need Help with some Resolution Basics (I think)

Hi,
I'm trying to use my Powerbook G4 15-in 1.5 GHz to connect to a 23-in ACD. I'm connecting to the ACD through the DVI port.
When I do, and after mirroring the displays, only part of the ACD screen is used, the rest being dark on the outside. The display settings are already set to their maximum resolution, 1280 x 854. Can I go any higher? Is resolution the answer to the "black box" around the desktop on the ACD?
There is an education hump with regard to the basics of resolution that I think I am not getting over.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what forum this question should be asked in, but this isn't it.
That said,
select e.*
from equipment e -- get the list of all equipment
inner join (select e2.equipment_number -- get the list of all equipment with too many records.
from equipment e2
group by e2.equipment_number
having count(*) > 1
) e2_many
on e.equipment_number = e2_many.equipment_number -- return equipment if in both lists.
Don't have anything handy to test that with, cause I just shut down my database, so you'll get to correct any syntax boo-boos for yourself. :)

I need help with export settings

Hi everyone,
I need help outputting an HD file for presenting a video to a client. I have tried exporting to HD .mov (H.264 codec) and PE keeps crashing (error compiling movie). From what I’ve read here, it’s due to the gargantuan file QT creates and HD space (even though I think I have enough HD available).
So, I need a recommendation from you on what kind of file to output which will allow me to present the movie to the client in HD. This file is solely for the presentation, I have already published for web (FLV) and YouTube (direct share from PE) and they both worked fine.
Here are my project specs:
Timeline:           4:26
Format:               1920 X 1080 HD
Timebase:          29.97 frames per second
OS:                        Windows XP SP3
Processor:          Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz
RAM:                    4GB
Project Drive:   250GB disk with 152GB free space internal dedicated project drive (separate from OS)
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Steve, Neale,
I wanted to follow-up on this post. I came into the office today to run a few tests so I can make sure that I have the correct settings on my camera and PE project for the next time around. Here are few observations I was wondering if you can comment on:
My Sony camera cannot shoot HDV. The only format it supports is AVCHD, so I'm stuck converting.
I tried to convert the footage I have to HDV with the software I have (AVS Video Converter and Koyote Soft HD Converter) and neither of the two have an "HDV" conversion setting. I see AVI, MPEG, MOV and many different settings in each (AVI: Hd Video 1080p: H.264AVC, 29.97fps, 4200kbps, Audio MP3, 256 kbps or MPEG: HD Video 1080p - MPEG2, 15000 kbps, 1920X1080, 29.97fps, etc). What should I be looking for?
I searched for "best file format" in the forum and found various postings from both of you referring to converting to DV-AVI within PE; especially if you have AVCHD footage (which I have). So, I followed directions and converted a file for testing. Then, I created a new project using HDV 1080i 30 settings and imported the converted file. I still get a red line on the timeline. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
I also converted the MOV files (shot in HDV 60i with the pro camera) to DV-AVI. I also get a red line on the timeline...
The DV-AVI converted footage (both cases) doesn't appear to be HD. It looks jagged on the preview window. Is it HD?
The DV-AVI converted footage is almost double the file size as the MTS (AVCHAD) file (138mb vs. 60mb). Isn't that going to make PE run slower?
Thanks in advance for your help. I just wanna make sure I do my homework now so I set everything up correctly on the next project.
Jose

Need help to draw a graph from the output I get with my program please

Hi all,
I please need help with this program, I need to display the amount of money over the years (which the user has to enter via the textfields supplied)
on a graph, I'm not sure what to do further with my program, but I have created a test with a System.out.println() method just to see if I get the correct output and it looks fine.
My question is, how do I get the input that was entered by the user (the initial deposit amount as well as the number of years) and using these to draw up the graph? (I used a button for the user to click after he/she has entered both the deposit and year values to draw the graph but I don't know how to get this to work?)
Please help me.
The output that I got looked liked this: (just for a test!) - basically this kind of output must be shown on the graph...
The initial deposit made was: 200.0
After year: 1        Amount is: 210.00
After year: 2        Amount is: 220.50
After year: 3        Amount is: 231.53
After year: 4        Amount is: 243.10
After year: 5        Amount is: 255.26
After year: 6        Amount is: 268.02
After year: 7        Amount is: 281.42
After year: 8        Amount is: 295.49

The above is also good.Sorry but you need to look a bit more closely at URLs that you cite. What the OP wants is a chart (as in X against Y) not a graph (as in links and nodes) . 'jgraph' deals with links and nodes.
The best free charting library that I know of is JFreeChart from www.jfree.org.

You can try using ROLLUP and GROUPING SETS like how some of the other forum members have suggested. Another way of getting the desired output would be :

Setting Up New FCP5 HD Bay -- Need Help

I'm setting up an HD edit bay for a friend, and I have a number of questions. Any help would be a godsend.
Basically, he's got a G5 with Final Cut Studio installed, a Motu audio interface, a Mackie Mixer, a Decklink Pro HD dual link, M-audio LX4 5.1 speakers, and a DVD/VHS recorder. He has one 250G internal capture drive, and one external 1TB firewire G-Raid. He's running a 23" and 20" Cinema Displays, and a Panasonic 32" HD LCD Flatscreen.
He wants to rent decks per project for capture and output.
My questions is this, how do we output to SD VHS/DVD or other formats for clients? Do we need a Switcher? Is it possible to do format conversion in Final Cut and output via Firewire instead of decklink to SD devices?
Also, is SDI (serial digital interface) cross-platform from SD to HD? Kramer Electonics has an interesting format converter that supports SDI, but will that change HD to SD? Here is a model number and link. FC-7402
http://www.kramerelectronics.com/indexes/item.asp?pic=71
Kramer also has a firewire format converter that looks interesting. FC-20

One of the Mac Vendors suggested the Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme, which sounds perfect, but costs $2000 - 3000.
I'm looking for a low cost alternative, if possible.
I really need help from someone experienced with this. I'm a freelance editor who cuts offline mostly on Avid for episodic TV, but my friend master HD out of his Mac edit suite. This is new territory for me.
Thanks in advance.

You should setup your local DNS to resolve only for the 'film.lab.' domain. Any requests that your local DNS will not be authoritative for should be forwarded to your district's DNS server. You should also set your local DNS to allow recursion only for clients on the 10.x.x.x subnet. The failure of clients configured to use your DNS for name resolution could be due to rules that have bee setup on your district's edge router to block outbound and inbound port 53 requests for all internal clients.
If you set your server and clients to use your district's DNS server as the secondary for your zone, you must make certain that any hostnames within your local zone are defined on your district's DNS to resolve to the private, 10.x.x.x, subnet that you will be running your systems on. If you don't -and your DNS goes down and there is no secondary defined on the clients that contains the zone info for your subnet- your clients won't be able to find any hosts. If you wish to run services that will be accessible from the Internet on your local server, this may require your network admins to make changes to routing to allow those request to be pass from the public network to the private one.
Also, if your district runs a central DHCP server you will need your district network admins to setup their DHCP server to return the correct client settings for your DNS and search domains for the clients within your subnet. If they do run a central DHCP server, do not attempt to set up a local one for your subnet. If you do, the probability that you will receive a very angry phone call from a not so happy fellow at your district is very high.

Need help choosing optimal hardware for a laptop that will run AE CS5

BACKGROUND INFO (Questions listed below)
I need some help figuring out the best hardware configuration for a new laptop. I’m a student at a design school and I will be using the laptop to mainly run After Effects and to a lesser extent Photoshop and Illustrator. I don’t need to worry about 3D rendering software or Premier Pro. I am primarily interested in getting the best performance during editing. I am not looking for the best performance for final output. I would prefer to sacrifice final output times for better editing/interface performance.
I will be working with standard definition content and perhaps HD up to 720p on occasion. I do not need to operate in resolutions higher than 720p. My projects are generally animation and use many sources and many layers.
I’ve been reading up on optimal hardware configurations for CS5 but my understanding is still a little foggy and I would like to use this thread to figure out how to build the best machine for my budget. The budget is about $1400 to $1600 CANADIAN after tax.
I DON’T need help finding the laptop. I will search for it on my own. I just need to understand the best hardware to purchase within my budget.
I realize that it is probably impossible to buy the laptop I want with the hardware configuration I need “off the shelf”. Instead I will be looking for a good base model (~$900-$1100) and I will purchase the necessary hardware upgrades separately. I will not be purchasing a Mac.
Right now I’m thinking of a machine built something like this:
- 15”-16” screen (17” models are too big/heavy)
- Mid to high end i5 processor OR entry level i7 quad core
- 8GB RAM (I would go to 12GB, but it’s hard to find a 15”-16” laptop with 3 memory slots)
- SSD to replace HDD (However, if possible, I would like a laptop with dual HDD support or swap the optical drive for another HDD. If I had access to 2 drives, I would have and HDD/SSD combo).
- Medium/high end NVIDIA GPU to take advantage of OpenGL while editing.
QUESTIONS
1) Does the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” option enhance general editing performance (applying filters, scrubbing through the timeline, reverting history states)? Or does it ONLY help speed up RAM previews and final output? Does it reduce the length of RAM previews?
1b) Is this option even necessary to enable on 64bit systems? (As far as I understand it was used to solve a problem where 32bit systems/software would only recognize 4GB of RAM per instance of AE).
1c) If I turn this option on to help with RAM previews, would I be hindering general editing performance in any way? Or does this option have basically zero drawbacks?
2) How come “Actual CPUs that will be used” will read 0 even if the sum total of RAM assigned to the CPUs plus the RAM reserved for other applications is less than the total available system RAM (on a 64bit system)? For example, I currently have 4GB RAM and 2 installed CPUs. I have 1.5GB reserved for other programs and when I set 0.75GB per CPU both CPUs are used. However when I set 1GB per CPU then 0 CPUs are used, even though the total RAM adds up to only 3.5GB.
CPU
3.) Considering the fact that I am more concerned with smooth performance while editing rather than final output speeds, would it be better to get a dual core i5 clocked around 2.5 or a quad core i7 clocked around 1.8?
4.) What is the difference between an i3 and an i5 processor even if they are clocked at the same speed? How does an i5 460M compare on the grand scheme of things?
RAM
6.) Should the quantity of RAM that I get (8GB vs 12GB) be based on the number of cores in my CPU? If so, how should I be calculating optimal RAM based on # of cores. Should I also be counting threads, or just actual physical cores?
STORAGE/SWAP
7.) Should I replace the HDD with an SSD? I'm looking for snappy interface performance while editing. I would think that if the RAM fills up it would be best to have the SSD for scratch/cache.
8.) What performance benchmarks are most important when considering an SSD for After Effects? (4k writes? IOs per second? Max read/write?)
9.) I can afford the OCZ Vertex2 120GB SSD. Would this be a good choice if an SSD is recommended?
10.) Would it be better to have 8GB of RAM and an SSD, or 12GB of RAM and an HDD? Explain why.
GPU
10.) After Effects utilizes OpenGL to enhance editing performance. I will not really be using Premier Pro, so catering to the CUDA Mercury Engine is not a concern. Do high end gaming cards provide significant gains in OpenGL performance? Or do OpenGL performance gains taper off around the mid-range GPUs? (i.e. can you justify buying a high end GTX 260M graphics card for enhanced editing performance versus an "entry level" dedicated card like the 310M?)
11.) What hardware specs are most important when considering a GPU for editing performance in AE? (Memory size? # of Pixel shaders? Core speed? Shader speed?)
Thanks so much for any answers you can offer to these questions.

Please make sure that you've read through this page and what it points to.
> 1) Does the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” option
enhance general editing performance (applying filters, scrubbing through

It only increases rendering speed for RAM previews and rendering for final output. In After Effects CS5, it doesn't decrease the length of RAM previews. (In CS4, it does.)
1b) Is this option even necessary to enable on 64bit
systems? (As far as I understand it was used to solve a problem where
32bit systems/software would only recognize 4GB of RAM per instance of
AE).
You misunderstood. Yes, it's still relevant on 64-bit computers. Moreso, in a way. (I'd rather not spend my entire Sunday writing out detailed answers to satisfy idle curiosity, so I'm not going to give all the technical detail to that answer.)
> 1c) If I turn this option on to help with RAM previews,
would I be hindering general editing performance in any way? Or does
this option have basically zero drawbacks?
It takes a small but nonzero time for the background processes to start up when they need to be used and shut down when they're done. And as they sit waiting, they take up a little bit of memory. So, it's not exactly correct to say that there are no downsides to leaving it on. But it's close. I leave it on.
> 2) How come “Actual CPUs that will be used” will read 0 even
if the sum total of RAM assigned to the CPUs plus the RAM reserved for
other applications is less than the total available system RAM (on a
64bit system)? For example, I currently have 4GB RAM and 2 installed
CPUs. I have 1.5GB reserved for other programs and when I set 0.75GB per
CPU both CPUs are used. However when I set 1GB per CPU then 0 CPUs are
used, even though the total RAM adds up to only 3.5GB.
4GB - 1.5GB for other software leaves 2.5 GB for After Effects.
If you have 1GB assigned per background CPU, then the foreground takes 1.2x that = 1.2GB. That leaves 1.3GB for background processes, which is enough for one background process. There's no point in starting only one background process to do rendering, so it doesn't bother. (Note: When background processes are rendering, the foreground process isn't rendering.)
> 3.) Considering the fact that I am more concerned with
smooth performance while editing rather than final output speeds, would
it be better to get a dual core i5 clocked around 2.5 or a quad core i7
clocked around 1.8?
Get the quad-core. That gives you a greater total number of cycles. And After Effects works very well with mutliple processors, even beyond Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing. An entirely unrelated sort of multiprocessing (multithreading) spreads work out to multiple processors.
> 6.) Should the quantity of RAM that I get (8GB vs 12GB) be based on the number of cores in my CPU? If
so, how should I be calculating optimal RAM based on # of cores. Should
I also be counting threads, or just actual physical cores?
The optimum amount is the amount that you can cram into the computer. I'm not kidding. Spend your budget on RAM until you have 4GB installed per processor (and I'm counting the virtual processors due to hyperthreading). If you have a quad-core, that's 8 CPUs with hyperthreading, so the optimum amount of RAM installed is 32GB. You can work with less, but you did ask about optimum. For HD work (i.e., 1920 pixels across), you're OK with more like 3GB installed per CPU. That's what I have at home: 24GB in a quad-core. You're going to assign 2/3 or so of the RAM to After Effects, so 3GB installed per CPU is 2GB per core for HD work in After Effects.
> 10.) Would it be better to have 8GB of RAM and an SSD, or 12GB of RAM and an HDD? Explain why.
12GB of RAM. Because After Effects likes RAM. (If you're thinking of deliberatly using virtual memory to swap memory to the hard disk, don't. That's a performance killer.)
> 10.) After Effects utilizes OpenGL to enhance editing performance.
Not really. If you're on a limited budget, don't even think about the GPU until you've already got the most RAM, the fastest CPUs, the largest number of CPUs, two fast hard disks, and a couple of good monitors. Then, and only then, should you even consider getting soemthing beyond a non-stock graphics card. Yes, OpenGL can be used to accelerate some things, but that's only for the low-fidelity preview renderer. (Pardon the bluntness, but I want to make sure that you heed this.)

Need help hooking up Maxent 42" Plasma to mac mini

i have a newly acquired maxent 42" plasma product number mx42xm11 i called their rep and he said it wouldnt work but i have read a couple forums where people have gotten other maxent monitors to work i was wondering if someone could help me set this one up.

I searched and found this:
Input/Output connections
2 x Composite video input (RCA phono), 1 x DVI-HDCP (24 pin digital DVI), 2 x S-Video input (4 pin mini-DIN), 2 x HD component input (RCA phono x 3), 1 x VGA input (15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)), 6 x Audio line-in (RCA phono x 2), 1 x Subwoofer output (RCA phono), 1 x Audio line-out (RCA phono x 2), 1 x VGA output (15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)), 1 x Serial (9 pin D-Sub)
It looks as simple as connecting a standard VGA cable from the Mini to the VGA port. It also listed the resolution as 1024x768, which is a standard 4:3 resolution.
You could also try a DVI cable as long as your DVI input looked similar to tha back of your Mini.
Where would you need help?

Need help in creating a java program

Hi everyone.
I'd like to say before i start about my problem, that i've only begun learning java and my teacher hasn't explained anything at all. He only showed us by doing it himself and then showing us the final version. I've searched a little on how to program but i get little success in finding a good tutorial.
I need help creating a program which has been assigned to me due in a few days in which i can't contact my teacher for help.
I need to write a java program which inputs 3 items. The number of kilometres you drove, the number of litres of gas you used and the price you paid for the gas. Then, the program must calculate the number of litres used per 100km driven, which is litres divided by kilometres times 100, how much it costs to drive 100km, which is the result (a) times the price per litre and the number of miles per American gallon of gas ( one American gallon = 3.785 litres, and one mile = 1.609 km.
The program has to output my name, the inputs given, the results computed and a message saying "Program Complete".
To give you what i've done to begin with, from what i understood, is:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class prog1
     public static void main(String args[])
          final double americanGallon = 3.785;
          final double mile = 1.609;
          kilometresDriven,
          gasUsed;
          priceOfLiterGas;
          System.out.println("My Name");
          System.out.println("Number of kilometres driven:");
          kilometresDriven = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Kilometres Driven");
          System.out.println("Number of Litres of gas used:");
          gasUsed = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Litres of gas used");
          System.out.println("Price of a liter of gas:");
          priceOfLiterGas = JoptionPane.showInputDialog("Price per liter");
Up to now, that's all i've got. i know i'm wrong, but i'm not sure how to do this. Could someone give me an outline of what this program is suppose to look like?
Thanks in advance.

Here's an update on my program. I've worked on certain details and would need your comments whether it contains errors. I'd also want to know if it would work or not because i don't know how to check it on my computer.
Here's the update:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Prog1
public static void main(String args[])
String name;
double kmDriven;
double litresUsed;
double pricePaidForGas;
double priceOfALiter;
name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Name");
input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Number of km driven");
kmDriven = Double.parseDouble (input);
input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Number of litres of gas used");
litresUsed = Double.parseDouble (input);
input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Price paid for gas");
pricePaidForGas = Double.parseDouble (input);
input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Price of a litre of gas");
priceOfALiter = Double.parseDouble (input);
a = (litresUsed/kmDriven)*100;
b = ((litresUsed/kmDriven)*100)*priceOfALiter);
c = (kmDriven/1.609)
System.out.println("Name:" + name);
System.out.println("Number of litres used per 100km:" + a);
System.out.println("Cost of driving 100km" + b);
System.out.println("Number of miles per American Gallon of Gas:" + c);
System.out.println("Program Complete");
System.exit(0);
Comments please.
Thanks in advance
