Tecra M1 extended view to external Monitor

Hopefully I can find some help - I got an M1, Win2K installed and would like to have the desktop/view expanded to a connected external Monitor.
Does anyone know if this is possible with Win2K ? I have seen this feature enabled when running WinXP - however, I would assume this should work as well under Win2K.
cheers... markus

Hi
I dont see any reason, why it should not work. On the Toshiba download page, you can find all drivers, tools and utilities designed Windows 2000 OS. If your unit is installed properly, you can use Fn + F5 key combination to switch on external display.
There is also another possibility to do the same thing. In display properties go into settings tab. Mark the second display and activate the option called Extend my Windows desktop on to this monitor.
Please let me know if everything works fine.

Viewer and External Monitor doesn't playback at same time

When watching clips in the viewer window, they playback fine. But on my external monitor, it only shows the first frame from when it's played. when I stop playback, the external monitor then shows the last frame the Viewer window is stopped on. How can I fix it so that the viewer and external monitor playback the clip at the same time?
At the moment we're digitizing footage with the Offline RT Photo JPEG codec set to 75% quality.
A few days ago we were digitizing footage at 35% quality and that footage plays back fine. We moved to 75% quality at the editor's request. A few days ago we had created a few sample 75% quality tests for the editor to view. I loaded those clips into Final Cut right now and they playback fine as well. So it's all of a sudden just these new clips created yesterday :S.

Yes.
Forgot to mention that the timeline plays all the footage back properly on both the canvas window and the external monitor. Sorry for not mentioning that sooner.
More discoveries! The playback 'freeze' only happens if I open a clip from the browser into the viewer. If I open a clip from the timeline into the viewer, it plays-back fine!

Viewing on external monitor....needs rendering first???

Hi there!
I'm using FCE2.0 on a G4 dual 1Ghz, a dataVideo DAC-100 converter and a CRT Sony monitor w/ rca ins. I wish to have playback occur on both the canvas and the external monitor, but i find the only way the image will show on the monitor is if i change the Video mode in the View Menu from RealTime to "FireWire". It is now that just about my entire sequence gets red bars and needs to be rendered before seeing anything! IF i render (which will take a while) both will playback as i wish. Is this typical? Do i have something backwards?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tom,
Thanks for replying.
Yea, i guess i didn't really examine the areas needing to be rendered closely. They are indeed areas w/ effects, motion and such. The areas that don't require rendering do in fact play both on the TV and the canvas. I guess i got the answer to my question.
Thanks again!

Viewing on external monitor with ADVC-100 and s video

I am trying to view my canvas on a external monitor. I have a canopus ADVC-100 and i am using the firewire input and the s video as the output in the back. When I try to set it up and i select view all frames, but when i go to the video output menu it says my firewire device is missing. Any hints or tips on what i am doing wrong. I am using the s-video because the monitor only has a components input available, the RCA's are already occupied.

Is the ADVC powered? When you connect firewire to the back of the unit, it gets powered by that connector, but the firewire jack on the front is only 4-pin and doesn't support power.
If you have a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, try connecting it to the back of the ADVC110 and then the front of the box should light up, indicating power.
I'm having a similar issue. I can print to tape via the Canopus box, but I want to be able to drive a monitor with it just so I can have an NTSC monitor while I'm editing. I can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

Can't view from external monitor

You know when you have your DV connected to your mac, when you edit, the LCD on the DV would show you the final output of your project? I've been using that to see what my final output is but suddenly it's not working.
I mean, everything else works great, I double and triple checked my setting under the audio/video setting and the playback output is set to apple firewire pal, but I still can't get anything from my DV. What else should I check?

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Unable to view in external monitor...

...tried "REFRESH AV DEVICES" and "VIEW> ALL FRAMES" and monitor set to AV in but no images from timeline, all connections are checked okay. Video is standard dv 16:9. Anybody have ideas?. Thanks

Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

Pages Full screen view second external monitor

I use a 24" monitor as my primary display when i'm at my desk with my Macbook Pro. Is there anyway to get pages full screen view to display on the external monitor instead of the macbook pro screen?

Jerry
Apple has sort of spoiled the multiple monitor thing, which before OSX used to be a great feature on Macs.
Apple tends to make assumptions about its users, based on whatever it is selling in its latest hardware.
Since so many large screen iMacs have been sold and the external monitor ports have switched numerous times, most users have given up trying to connect multiple monitors and many are probably even unaware it is possible.
It seems this includes the Pages' programmers who have slipped up on this.

Desktop extended onto two external monitors

My T400s has two ports for external monitors. Will i be able to extend my desktop over the built-in screen as well as the TWO external displays--giving me a total of three screens?
Thanks.

Viewing on External Monitor

While editing in FCP, I can see my sequence on an external monitor just fine. But when I'm working in Motion, I cannot see Motion's output on the external monitor.
I think I've tried all the basic fixes.

What have you set as your output device?

How can I view an external monitor in FCP (Lion)?

What setting in FCPX allows the output to go to an external HDMI monitor? I can see the desktop on my monitor but I need to know how to view the timeline from FCPX.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to connect and view an external monitor only on my Intel iMac?

I have an Acer 15.6" monitor connected to my Intel iMac via VGA cable and Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. I am running Lion (V10 7.3) and would like to direct my image to the external display only. The preferences pane does not offer that option. Is there some way to do it?

Do you have a desktop machine running iTunes?
If so then yes, setup home sharing and you can stream anything in your iTunes library to your iPad.
It works good.

External monitor not going full resolution on extended desktop

Hello,
I have a Gateway widescreen 1680x1050 resolution monitor plugged into my 13" Macbook Aluminum computer. When I have both my external and built in display turned on extended mode, my external monitor only goes up to 1600x1000 resolution, which is obviously lower than full-res. When I close the lid of my Macbook (and run the external display only), the external display goes up to full 1680x1050 resolution. Could someone please help me solve the problem of my Gateway external display going to less than full res on extended display mode.
Thanks a lot!
Adrian

There is a clue here in what might be going on. Note that the MacBook's 1280x800 display is a 16:10 aspect ratio (exactly). Now, the external resolution that is reported by shmootz is 1600x1000 which is also a 16:10 ratio. It looks to me that the system is running as if it is in the mirrored mode. The video driver will force the displays to the same aspect ratio when running as mirrored displays.
I'd try a few things to see if you can reset the display options. First, try toggling the "Mirror Displays" option in System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement. Second, you may want to try a reset of your PRAM and the SMC.

Tecra R840-111: external monitor continuosly restarts

Hi all!
I have some problem when using the vga of the Tecra R840-111 with my external monitor/tv (LG M237WDP).
The monitor continuosly restarts (it seems like to reboot).
This behaviour doesn't happen with another external monitor or if I use another laptop with the monitor named above.
I have used a linux live CD (ubuntu) and everything's ok. Isn't it weird?
Hints?
Does my toshiba have some kind of diagnostic menu hidden in the bios?
I know that some laptop requires the user to hit i.e. CTRL+V in the bios in order to enter that diagnostic menu. Is there anything like that?
Can you help me?
Thank you.
Marco.

Hi
Ive got exactly the same external monitor but I didnt notice any monitor issues like you have described in the message.
Ive got two notebooks and the monitor is connected using VGA cable and DVI cable to both notebooks
In both cases the monitor does not restartso Im not quite sure what you are talking about
Regarding the BIOS.
Its not know to me about any hidden menus in BIOS.
Furthermore you said that this issue does not appear using Linux so I would say its definitely nothing wrong with BIOS. Also this theory would be confirmed because the other external monitor works ok.
Maybe some kind of software preinstalled in Windows OS cause this??
Additionally in BIOS you can choose the option detection of external monitor (or something similar). Usually its set to automatic but I set this to internal display.

Connecting an External Monitor to a HP Pavilion 15t-n200

I have a HP Pavilion 15t-n200 laptop computer and I'm trying to hook up an external monitor.
I tried connecting directly to a monitor with an HDMI cable and this didn't work. So I bought a HDMI to VGA adaptor, and still no luck.
In both instances, I hooked up the monitor and pressed the F4 key to select how I select the other display. But none of the choices: Duplicate, Extend, or Second Screen Only seem to work. In fact, nothing happens when I make any of these selections.
Am I missing a step?

JKinnicutt wrote:

I updated the BIOS and the video drivers and it's still not working.
Pressing Fn F4 opens the selection for how I want to view the external monitor. And clicking something makes the laptop screen go black and then back on. (Unless I select Second Screen Only, then the laptop screen stays black). But the external monitor never displays anything.
What is your operating system?
Follow this document -
Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)
Go through Page 23, 24 in this manual
NOTE:
To see the computer screen image on an external VGA monitor or projected for a presentation, connect a monitor or projector to the computer's VGA port.
To connect a monitor or projector:
1. Connect the VGA cable adapter to the HDMI port.
2. From the monitor or projector, connect to the VGA port on the computer
3. Press f4 to alternate the screen image between 3 display states:
● View the screen image on the computer.
● View the screen image on the external device (monitor or projector).
● View the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and external device.
Each time you press f4, the display state changes

I have a one year old Macbook Air 13. I have a brand new 22" external monitor. When I connect my external monitor it initially provides a nice display - very accurate and no distortions. But, within a few minutes the screen begins a incessant series

I have a one year old Macbook Air 13. I have a brand new 22" external monitor. In turning the Macbook and monitor on, the monitor displays very well, but within a few minutes it begins this incessant blinking (temporary black out of the screen that lasts anywhere from 1-5 seconds). This has been going on for a long time (it also happended with my older monitor which apparantly I threw out when I should have kept it thinking it was the problem). From reading various blogs in the Apple support community, this appears to be a widespread problem, but I don't find a solution, only a lot of speculation. I'm very surprised the Apple folks haven't figured this out. As a new Apple user, heretofor, I have been very impressed with the support and effort to get fixes out to users. This, however, has me frustrated to the point of junking my Mac and going back to a PC. I love the Macbook Air and most of the functionality, but I cannot function without an external monitor. Anybody have any ideas, please help. Frustrated, Jim

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.
