Triple Display layout

No resolution yet on the issue of a white screen on Digital Cinema Desktop Preview, whichever way I configure the displays it happens each time and on each display, it does however play normally when set to desktop preview - Main. Can anyone please help? I feel sure it's an FCP setting but I just can't find it.
I also can't get my Sony HDV deck to appear as an option in the Video Playback list, all HDV options are grayed out with only the desktop previews available. Anyone know how I can run the feed through the deck?
Thanks to anyone with a suggestion!

Philip,
I used to experience the white screen issue that you described with my triple head display setup, but I was able to find a fix!
I'll walk you through a fix:
1. Determine which video card is your "primary" card. To determine this, reboot your Mac. Make a note of which display shows the white screen with the Apple logo. Trace the cable back to the video card installed in your Mac. This video card is your primary card. You may wish to mark it for future reference.
2. Make sure you have two monitors connected to your primary card and your third display connected to your secondary video card.
3. Launch Final Cut Pro. Make sure that the main interface launches and is displayed on one of the monitors connected to your primary video card. For me, my interface launches on the display connected to the primary video card that does NOT display the white screen with the Apple logo on startup.
4. Enable Digital Cinema Desktop Preview. The cinema desktop preview should appear on your display connected to your primary video card that shows the white apple logo on startup.
Everything should work. Now you should be able to drag interface elements like the Browser bin to the third display that is connected to your secondary video card.
In your case you have two identical cards. But what do you do if you have one basic card and one powerful video card? First you need to make sure that your Mac sees the powerful video card as the primary video card. When you boot your Mac, make sure the white apple logo screen appears on one of the displays connected to your powerful video card. If not, follow these steps...
1. Shutdown your Mac.
2. Physically remove the basic (less powerful video card). Don't just unplug the monitor. You have to remove the video card.
3. Boot your Mac with only the powerful video card installed. Note which monitor displays the white logo screen.
4. Go into your display preferences and arrange them. Make the white logo display the one that does NOT have the menu bar.
5. Shutdown your Mac.
6. Reinstall your basic video card into the same slot from which you removed it.
7. Boot your Mac. Note that the white logo screen should now appear on the same monitor in step 3 that is connected to your powerful video card.
8. That's it. Now your Mac should always boot using your powerful video card as the primary display card. You should also be able to use triple head display with Final Cut Pro.

  • Problems Setting up triple Display

    Hi Folks, after some help
    Recently tried setting up a triple display set up on Mac pro with ATI Radeon HD 5770 from the single display previously used.
    I have 2 new Samsung B1930 monitors connected through Mini Display Port to VGA apple connectors in the 2 Slots and my old Samsung B2430 connected up through the DVI.
    What i hoped to achieve is
    Left B1930 extended desktop                                
    Middle: B2430 Main screen with Dock etc
    Right B1930 Extended Screen
    What i have is the left B1930 as the main screen (inc Dock) and the Middle B2430 and righ B1930 as the extension.  Is it only possible to extend one way? or is there a way to extend left and right.
    Cheers in advance

  • Is is possible to Triple Display from the New MacMini

    Is it possible to run a triple display on a MacMini with the intel HD 4000 chipset (which according to Intel is triple monitor capable).
    I would assume one display would run off the HDMI and the other two from the Thunderbolt Port.
    If it is possible three displays, is it possible to daisy chain two MiniDisplayport monitors from the Thunderbolt port. I know it will run one MiniDP but am unsure if it will run 2.

    You can use a splitter for one output but yo have top mirror those displays.
    You need a USB video adopter like this one to add a third independent monitor

  • T420 - Triple display not working

    So, according to this page: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-76617.html , the T420 I have is supposed to support two external displays as well as the laptop display as follows:
    ThinkPad-only Triple Display Configuration:
    1st Display: Active ThinkPad display
    2nd Display: VGA analog monitor attached to the ThinkPad VGA analog port.
    3rd Display: DisplayPort monitor attached to the ThinkPad DisplayPort
    However, when I connect both external displays, it will switch off one of the external monitors (the first one connected).
    Using display port to HDMI cable for monitor 1, VGA for monitor 2.  Both are verified working as external monitors with the T420, just not at the same time.
    I've looked through the BIOS and display properties to no avail.
    Is this actually possible without a docking station?
    -B

    Only a laptop with a discrete NVIDIA graphics card, will support those configurations. If you just have the onboard Intel graphics, then I bet you'll only be able to drive two without a dock. With a dock, you still may be able to drive three monitors (including the ThinkPad's LCD).
    BTW, I found even with an NVIDIA discrete graphics option, that page you refer to is incorrect (else I have a problem with my docking station). It says you can drive three monitors with "Any combination of the following" when after much trial and error, I determiend one has to be a VGA analog connection.

    Hi Madhurao,
    Thanks for your reply. So you are suggesting to create a Z-report which will accept a spool request and then it will convert it to pdf and then that pdf will be sent through mail?

  • Different display page layout in Display Layout mode and in Preview mode

    Hi everyone,
    can anybody help me to understand why it is different display page layout in
    Display Layout mode:
    I have 2 collumns
    and in Preview mode:
    I have only one column
    is there some option that I didn"t check in layout page properties?

    The only thing you can try, is to have a defined number of lines, where the last line only consists of a few words. That may(!) give enough room for different browser rendering. But there is definitely no guarantee.
    You may as well force the text frame to be converted to an image (Place one single character – point, space – out of a system font. This will force Muse to convert the text into an image – thus preventing txt reflow)

  • To get fieldcatalog from the ALV display layout

    Hi Experts,
    Requirement: To have a field in the selection screen for selecting display layout of the ALV grid and the corresponding output
                          should automatically be saved in a text filel on local network .
    So the output data should be downloaded into file even before the outptut is displayed. So what ever columns that are going to be displayed for a particular display layout have to be recognised and a dynamic internal table should be there for varying the fields depending on the display layout.
    Now, I have clear solutions for varient selecting varient in selection screen and after that the entire logic to use a dynamic internal table from a fieldcatalog.
    But i am stuck with the issue of getting the fieldcatalog from the corresponding display varient selected.
    Could anybody have a solution for this.

  • Triple display on W520

    My brother ordered a W520 with the 1920x1080p screen option. He has two Dell 20" (1600x1200) monitors from years ago, which have DVI & VGA connectors.
    Can the W520 run in triple display mode, with built in display, one monitor hooked up with VGA cable, and the other monitor hooked up with Displayport to DVI cable?
    Or does this require some kind of dock? Or at the very least, can it run on two monitors with the lid closed?

    Hi, Volt,
        This subject has been explored in depth on this board. To keep it short, yes, you can indeed drive two external monitors at the resolutions you mentioned without the dock, plus the internal makes three.

  • Display Layouts for ALV reports

    Client is on 4.7 and it appears that the list of display layouts is out of wack for program RPTBAL00.  When choosing a particular layout an error messages returns with "template not found in BDS" then the program crashes.  Other layouts work as expected.  Any ideas on what could be causing the problem?

    There is an OSS Note associated with this. If I am not mistaken it is <b>696069</b> and two excel files(one of them is sap_mm.xls) have to be imported in client 00.
    Also check note <b>414920</b>.

  • Problem with display/layout of Portal-Favorites

    Hi community
    I've got a little display problem of the Favorites iView in the Portal.
    Below you can see three different screenshots of the Portal Favorites. Please disregard the Links itself, the problem is in the border/layout of the whole thing.
    [Screenshot|http://www.schuess.net/images/Unbenannt.jpg]
    The first picture shows the problem first hand.
    In the second picture you can even see that the Favorites seem to be misplaced by 5px. Perhaps they have an absolute position to the browser window?
    The third screenshot is the result of setting a border of 5px in the Theme Editor under
    Tree -> Border. That's not as intended because a) theres this little 1px-line on the top-left and b) the tree-border stops at the end of the tree nodes.
    Please tell me how I can make the Favorites-iView flush or which setting I have to change.
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    Hi dear reader
    My problem is solved.
    The Favorites-iView-Property "Isolation Method" had to be changed from "URL" to "Embedded".
    Now it looks smooth
    Try on

  • Dual/Triple Displays on MacBook Pro 9,1 (Matrox?)

    I just picked up a MacBook Pro (Model MD103LL/A) last night and I'd like to hook up two to three 23" LG DVI displays. I'm told the Matrox Dual or Triple Head2Go adapters will work, but there are mixed reviews from Mac owners on newegg and amazon. I'd love to hear from other MacBook Pro users who have used this setup to drive multiple monitors. Also, I'm wondering if a GT650 with 512MBs of memory can handle three monitors.
    Please post your comments here. Thanks for your help.

    Got w7 install disc working again, installed everything again, ran apple updates agian, and now windows freezes on boot again.  I have a feeling the latest windows iTunes update is the culprit somehow (when my machine bugged out initially that was the only bootcamp related software I updated).

  • Line Item Display - layout  default setting

    Hi,
    In GL-Account Line item display I have set a layout as a default setting. Now I want to set another lay out as default. The problem is the old default setting remains as default ahead and now we have two different default layouts.
    How can I delete the old default setting?
    Thanks

    This layout was defined as user specific and now this layout appears as standard layout in system of every user and even as default layout. And now this user specific layout is accessible by all users.
    Both above mentioned methods have not helped me.
    Is it possible to delete this user specific default lay out, which got standard layout for all users??
