Techniques for channel outs?

I've been away from MainStage for a while and am not refining some hardware and configurations. I would like to send MainStage channels out individual interface outputs to feed a separate console, with MS handling reverts, settings and controller support. I've tried a few ways to get around the stereo-centric assignments but I'm not quite happy with pans and sends into busses assigned to pairs of outputs etc. Has anyone developed a good way to achieve mono feeds into downstream equipment?
Many Thanks,
Greg

Hi Gaurav,
I personally feel that 'Create Similar product' is a much required improvement over the original way of NPI using Member & Chaining Management.
Also with CW as well, a new and similar item created can also be linked to multiple location, same as Source Item, depending on the filters used in the Worksheet from which the create similar product is invoked.
some of the PROS and CONS of the 2 methods are as follows:
Demand Planner: Member & chaining management
Pros: 1) Can be used to specify the time range for copying the history date.
2) Can be used to specify the Percentage by which the source data needs to be adjusted while copying into the target combination
3) An important feature is that this can be used to do chaining at an aggregated level.
Cons: 1) It takes a long time to setup a New Member, combination and Chaining relationship.
2) High User involvement since user has to perform muliptle tasks and more error prone.
Collaborative Workbench: Create Similar product
Pros: 1) User-friendly
2) Users needs to enter a few datapoints in single form and does not need to navigate through multiple forms/screens
3) Ability to specify Cannibalization parameters as well as Launch dates
4) Good performance.
5) Ongoing Chaining
6) When coupled with features like 'End of Lifecycle date', it provides a complete Business solution
Cons: 1) Can not be used for only performing Chaining.
2) While it can be used to create a New Similar Product, it cannot be used to create a new similar Customer based on an existing item-location combination data. This,though, may not be a very common scenario.
3) Apart from copying other Item attributes, the method also copies the same 'Item Description' level from source to the new similar product, which sometimes can be very confusing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rohit Goyal

Best technique for laying out a JPanel with sub panels...

Okay, you're probably going to think this is a nit-picky question, but I seem to do it different each time I have to solve this problem, and neither of them feels like they're obviously the "right" way to do things, so I'm asking for how you all do them.
Suppose I'm making a panel that's going to have several other panels on it. For example, let's say that the main JPanel is going to use BorderLayout and then there's going to be a sub-panel with a bunch of radiobuttons.. and another with some textboxes, and another with some jbuttons, etc.
There are a few ways you can do it:
Method #1
1 Instantiate main JPanel
2 Instantiate a sub-panel
3 add() the sub-panel to the main (before it has anything)
4 Populate the sub-panel with compnents
5 Repeat 2-4 for all other sub-panels
Method #2
1 Instatiate main JPanel
2 Instantiate a sub-panel
3 add() it to the main panel
4 repeat 2-3 for all sub-panels
5 populate the first sub-panel with components
6 Repeat #5 for all sub-panels
Method #3
1 Instantiate a sub-panel
2 Populate the sub-panel with components
3 Repeat 1-2 for all sub-panels
4 Instantiate main JPanel
5 Add populated sub-panel to main JPanel
6 Repeat #5 for all sub-panels
Method #4 (same as Method #1 except #3 and #4 are switched)
1 Instantiate main JPanel
2 Instantiate a sub-panel
3 Populate the sub-panel with components
4 add() populated sub-panel to main panel
5 repeat 2-4 for all sub-panels
They'll all work just fine when you initially write them. What I'm after is the one which:
1) Is the most readable later, and
2) Is easiest to make changes to if you want to change the way your overall panel looks (ie, least chance of having something go wrong because you didn't realize that you need to make a change in two different places in the code instead of one, etc).
Of these methods, do any of them strike you as either "Sure, that's the only way to really do it!" or "Oh man, if you did it *that* way, you're in for major headaches"?
Thanks in advance,
- Joe

Well, my code generally would look something like this:
add(createToolBar(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(createApplicationPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(createStatusBar(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);The createApplicationPanel might then be broken down into sub methods depending on the complexity of the application.
So I guess that would be your method 4.
The key point to remember is that you want create and add all the components and panels BEFORE you do your frame.pack() and frame.setVisible(), then you shouldn't have any layout problems.

How to make a good UI for channel selection using DAQmx

A lot of my Labview programming was with earlier verisons of labview (pre Labview 7), and there are a ton of new features that I'm trying to digest (currently using Labview 8.2).
My question is (in general terms), how are people programming their UI for selecting channels and such when using DAQmx hardware? What I have in mind is a compacDAQ system with a number of modules. The user would be able to pick and choose which channels to monitor. Using MAX as part of that process seems counter intuative, and somewhat static (yeah I know you can change it there, but it feels more like something you would use for something that really doesn't change much). I'd like all the UI to be within the VI.
Are programmers using the create task VIs for that or something else?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wholeheartedly second the motion to keep MAX out of the picture as far as users are concerned.
Setting up UI's for channel selection is a breeze in DAQmx when you create channels on the block diagram. The control you create off the Channels input will populate itself with the inputs that it knows are capable of performing the desired task...
<<< My configuration knows that my Module 5 is capable of doing Analog Input.
So... Just create a panel that waits for the user to select the proper channel. I also run a quick check of the user's selection before creating / starting the task. For example, if they choose ai30 or higher, and I know that the system isn't wired for those inputs, I'll not allow that selection. Also check for using two of the same input, etc.

What are the permitted compression techniques for PDF/A-1?

The PDF/A-1 standard does not specify how compression is performed. What are the permitted compression techniques for PDF/A-1?
The information I have gathered (not sure if all are true)
LZW should not be used
JPEG2000 may not be used
Few say, JPEG can be used but its a lossy compression. (PDF standard clearly states lossy compression can't be used)
Also, how to figure out whether a particular file is PDF/A-1a or PDF/A-1b and what kind of compressions are used in that file?
Thanks in advance.

For better or worse, ISO specifications are written in a language from a parallel universe. After dealing with ISO standards for a while, you learn what specific words really mean. I should know - I am chair of the ISO PDF/X task force and co-chair of the PDF/VT task force.
The word should does not specify a requirement. PDF/A does not prohibit lossy compression.
JPEG is always a lossy compression. There is a mode of JPEG2000 compression that is indeed lossless. Note that JPEG and JPEG2000 are totally different compression schemes. (I believe that PDF/A-1 as well as PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3, based on older versions of the PDF specification do not permit JPEG2000. PDF/A-2 based on ISO32000-1 and PDF/X-4 based on PDF 1.6 do allow for JPEG2000.)
ZIP compression is lossless.

New Enterprise Manager Book on Advanced EM Techniques for the Real World

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to say my first EM book can be ordered now.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control: Advanced Techniques for the Real World
[http://www.rampant-books.com/book_1001_advanced_techniques_oem_grid_control.htm]
Please let your colleagues and friends and clients know – it is the first book in the world to include EM 11g Grid Control. It is a great way for people to understand the capabilities of EM.
Oracle’s Enterprise Manager Grid Control is recognized as the IT Industry’s leading Oracle database administration and management tool. It is unrivalled in its ability to monitor, manage, maintain and report on entire enterprise grids that comprise hundreds (if not thousands) of Oracle databases and servers following an approach that is consistent and repeatable.
However, Enterprise Manager Grid Control may seem daunting even to the most advanced Oracle Administrator. The problem is you know about the power of Enterprise Manager but how do you unleash that power amongst what initially appears to be a maze of GUI-based screens that feature a myriad of links to reports and management tasks that in turn lead you to even more reports and management tasks?
This book shows you how to unleash that power.
Based on the Author’s considerable and practical Oracle database and Enterprise Manager Grid Control experience you will learn through illustrated examples how to create and schedule RMAN backups, generate Data Guard Standbys, clone databases and Oracle Homes and patch databases across hundreds and thousands of databases. You will learn how you can unlock the power of the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Packs, PlugIns and Connectors to simplify your database administration across your company’s database network, as also the management and monitoring of important Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and the nuances of all important real-time change control using Enterprise Manager.
There are other books on the market that describe how to install and configure Enterprise Manager but until now they haven’t explained using a simple and illustrated approach how to get the most out of your Enterprise Manager. This book does just that.
Covers the NEW Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g.
Regards,
Porus.

Advanced Development Techniques for Oracle Portal Components

Hello friends,
I have the following problem. I have a report and a form (on a
view) in the same page, and when I select an item of the report
the form is refreshed with the values associated to the selected
item. The problem is that it makes it with delay, the first
selection doesn't show anything and the remaining sample the
data of the previous selection.
This application has been developed as Ken Atkins explains in
its document "Advanced Development Techniques for Oracle Portal
Components."
Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.0
Thanks in advance.
This is my code:
-- REPORT --
SELECT '<A HREF="http://mipc/portal30/

               ,p_value=>'ROWID');
-- Pass the rowid of the context record to query.
p_session.set_value (p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=> '_ROWID'

('DEFAULT','QUERY_TOP',1,'ON_CLICK',True,'',p_session);
-- Save the session information, which includes the
p_session.save_session;
END IF;
END;

You can make the report with a procedure from which you may call to a form by means of a link. It is a possibility, no??
It is better a example:
TABLE A
campo1 VARCHAR2 (20)
campo2 VARCHAR2 (20)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE REPORT IS
v_cursor NUMBER;
sentencia VARCHAR2(200);
vnumfilas NUMBER;
rowid_pref VARCHAR2(18);
v_campo1 <schemaname>.A.campo1%TYPE;
v_campo2 <schemaname>.A.campo2%TYPE;
BEGIN
     htp.p('<HTML>');
     htp.p('<HEAD>');
     htp.p('</HEAD>');
     htp.p('<BODY>');
          sentencia := 'SELECT rowidtochar(rowid), campo1, campo2 FROM A';
          DBMS_SQL.PARSE(v_cursor,sentencia,DBMS_SQL.V7);
          DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,1,rowid_pref,18);
          DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,2,v_campo1,20);
          DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,3,v_campo2,20);
          vnumfilas := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(v_cursor);
          LOOP
          IF DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(v_cursor)=0 THEN
                    EXIT;
          END IF;
          DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,1,rowid_pref);
          DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,2,v_campo1);
          DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,2,campo2);
          v_link := '<A href="PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid'||chr(38)||'p_arg_values=<form's moduleid>'||chr(38)||'p_arg_names=_rowid'||chr(38)||'p_arg_values='||rowid_pref||chr(34)||'>'||campo1||'</A> '||campo2||' <BR>';
               htp.p(v_link);
            END LOOP;
     htp.p('</BODY>');
     htp.p('</HTML>');
END;
the form has to be based on the table A.
I dont know if this example has errors, but have you the idea??
I hope it helps you out.

Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap.

Is There a Technique for Improving Rental Movie Experience?

I attempted to watch “The American” on my 2nd Gen Apple TV two nights ago. I was told it would take four hours to be ready, so I just left it alone and did something else. Last evening I found that it was ready to watch, so I did. It was fine for the first hour, but during the second half it stopped three times for several minutes to re-buffer -- a very annoying experience for movie watching, particularly when one is paying for it.
My Apple TV is connected wirelessly to my home wireless system. My home system always measures in the 15 to 20 Mb speed range, and my router is a brand new Airport Extreme (2.4 and 5 bands simultaneously). My Apple TV shows four (out of five) bars on the system info part of the menu. When I run the Apple TV’s own network speed test, there is no indication of a problem there either (although some feedback one way or the other would be better).
So, is there a technique for making this better, using the 8GB of memory in the new Apple TV? Movie watching was always flawless with my old 1st Gen Apple TV because you could download the rental to its memory. Is there some tip which will allow me to do the same with this new 2nd Gen Apple TV?

Thanks to vazandrew for prompt response. Yes, that's the way I understand the situation too. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to make better use of the cache to store more of the movie so we could prevent stoppages.
Frankly, the 2nd Gen Apple TV is a step backword from Apple's "it just works" philosophy. Yes, one can experiment with direct ethernet connection, look for wireless interference, etc., but the old First Gen. Apple TV simply wasn't that finicky to get a good movie watching experience (I've owned one for 2 1/2 years). And best of all it is a wonderful house music box where I keep all of my music, control it with my iPhone or iPad app, and don't have to have my computer on to do it. The only thing it lacked was Netflix streaming which is also spotty from time to time.
I plan to suggest to Apple that they develop an "Apple TV Pro" or Apple TV II" that contains memory like the 1st Gen did, but solid state this time, and also allow Netflix and other internet streaming. Yes, it would cost somewhat more, but it would perform much better. I wonder if they will pay attention to my voice in the wilderness?

Does Garage Band 10.0.3 provide multi channel outs (more than 2)?

Does garage band 10.0.3 support multi channel outs (more than 2)? I have an external mixer which can handle up to 8 at a time. I use the Focusrite Pro 26 and it does fine with GB, but I cannot find a way to get more than 2 channel stereo out of GB and send them to the Pro 26.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hang Time,
Thanks for your reply to my question. I read elsewhere that GB has only 2 outs, but I wanted to get a second opinion.
I think I will try Pro Tools/First. PT/First It is a new Free version of PT that will be available soon; it has a lot of capability for a free version of PT.

A tutorial I like a lot is "Making Awesome iMovies",
the $40 video CD offered by dvcreators. It's easy to
understand, entertaining, well planned, and
introduces both basic and not-so-basic steps of
storyboarding, shooting and editing video.
Although the update for iMovie 5 is not yet
available, this video still gets two thumbs up from
me.

I will take a look at that page, but at this point, I want free how-to tips on shooting a video. I plunked down my money on the VISUAL book on iLife '04, and that's gonna have to be enough for now. Probably techniques for taking home movies are a lot less difficult to absorb that all of the procedures in iMovie 4 and all the other programs.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will check it out now.

Techniques for smooth continuous motion in a game

Hello all,
I'm working on a brick-breaker variant and all is going well except for the motion of the ball-- it isn't as smooth as I'd like. I've done some reading on the subject and have come away with two promising techniques for smooth continuous animation:
1. Use time based position update functions rather than frame-based. This basically allows you to cheat the SWF's FPS setting and make a certain object move more fluidly without jacking up the entire movie's FPS. This is handy and does have a dramatic effect, but it also costs much CPU and/or battery power to process so it (might) not be suitable for continuous motion. It is better left to tweens and other animations that are both short and critical. Also, I found that in order to get the ball moving at a reasonable speed for difficult gameplay I had to either lower the time delay or increase the velocity modifier to the point that the ball appeared to half-vanish much of the time (presumably) because it was getting too far ahead of the movie's frame renderer. As such, this method really isn't suitable for managing continuous core gameplay mechanics.
2. Convert velocity modifiers to floating point values rather than integers. This worked very well to smooth out the motion a bit, and has had no adverse side effects so far as I can see. It doesn't quite get the ball to the level of smooth animation I'd like, however.
Currently my movie's FPS is set to 45 and I'd prefer not to go any higher than that if possible. With floating point modifiers and 60 FPS everything is very smooth, but I am wary of using an FPS setting so high, particularly as this is eventually going to be a mobile app and therefore battery life is a consideration. Does anyone know any more tricks to smooth continuous, game-mechanics-centric motion?
Is there perhaps any magic that can be worked with the new Stage Video API and/or any other hardware acceleration offered by flash player/AIR? Is Stage Video even usable in iOS and/or Android apps created in Flash CS5?
Thanks,
CCJ
