Using AVC Intra for Log & Transfer

Just checking,
Can you use the AVC Inra setting in Log & Transfer for XDCAM instead of AVCHD and if so what is the difference the two settings?
Jeff

Hi Thrillcat,
The reason I asked this question is I was told that when importing XDCAM ftg I should use the AVCHD setting in Log & Transfer . I just noticed the AVC-Intra setting and thought this was a new flavor of AVC and thought I might use this as well for my XDCAM import.
Could you set me straight?
Thanks
Jeff

Green Screen using AVC-Intra 100 ugly

Been using the hpx300 for approx two months mostly in 720p with great results. Just wraped our first true HD green screen shoot using avc-intra 100 at 24p with the intent of producing a white background mac-ad type, 5 min talking head corporate piece in SD. I had the camera mounted at 90 degrees to capture the 1920 pixels of subjects head-to-toe so I could then manipulate individual zoom and placement in post within a SD timeline. I've got two issues: one is that the images in post seem noisy, and any movement, as in subjects walking across screen, is a total mess - I say seem because all recording and playback on location looked just fine on a 1920x1200 monitor via blackmagic i/o box. I normally do basic editing in premiere with much help from AE for composting and color correction etc. Keylight has always worked great in the past. I must have something wrong with settings in the avc-intra HD content? Secondly, workflow is a bit convoluted... Keylight doesn’t apply in premiere, and AE doesnt do avc-intra. The workaround is to export avc-intra premiere timeline to AE and key that. In theory it should work just fine, but again my images are just noisy. Could this PR to AE workflow degrade image quality? Any suggestion greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matt

Poster must be busy shooting more stuff....

IS HD REALLY HD- GREENSCREEN ISSUES
These plates were all shot with an HVX-200, mostly with the 100 MBps DVCPROHD codec. This was good enough for us for Visual Effects For Directors because we had specific needs, but we don't consider them good enough for full film production.
Here's why:
COLOR SAMPLING: We      prefer all green screen to be 4:4:4, so every pixel has a unique color.      4:2:2 only updates the color every second pixel, but green screen      desperately depends on a sharp, accurate, scientific color transition.      With 4:2:2, you're operating in half resolution. But if you downsize, like      we downsized to 720x480, you're at full resolution again. So because we're      delivering in SD, the plates are 4:4:4 for us. They'll just be 4:2:2 for      you if you're delivering for an HD movie.
PIXEL ASPECT: When      a camera is listed as 1920x1080 HD, that's really stretching the truth.      You'll see that all our plates are in 1280x1080, which is the original      camera resolution, meaning that the plate has to be stretched 150% on the      X-axis to be in the right aspect. In other words, you're only operating at      66% resolution on the X-axis. Did someone say "smearing"?
NOT EVEN 4:2:2: By      the time 1280 has been stretched to 1920 to make up for the 1.5:1 pixel      aspect ratio, 4:2:2 has been stretched out too, basically becoming      4:1.5:1.5
LENS RESOLUTION: Nobody      besides DPs really thinks about the fact that a lens has a resolution.      Zoom lenses are made of many lens elements in a clever configuration, and      each element introduces some blur. That's why top-notch DPs like to use      prime-lenses cut from diamonds from King Solomon's mines, because if the      lens limits the resolution, it doesn't really matter how well you record      the signal after that. Some people have come to the conclusion that the      HVX-200 is really a 720p camera, because the 1080p resolution doesn't      really come through. We tend to agree, but we don't want to start a      religious war, and will say that it's just our personal experience. On top      of that, we've used a $500 wide-angle adapter on some shots, which really      butchers the pixel resolution, so even though we're recording at 1080p,      we're really not. But 1080p allowed us to record with the 100 MBps      DVCPROHD codec, which meant that we still got a very respectable resized      SD signal out of it.
BAYER PATTERN: Most      cameras use a Bayer pattern on the chip, so that every pixel is EITHER      Red, Green, or Blue — but not at the same time. A full Red-Green-Blue      pixel is derived mathematically by interpolation. It's no wonder that some      organisations are starting to call for an objective standard for what      really constitutes a pixel, because a Bayer pixel is definitely not a real      pixel — more like half a pixel. By the way, there are twice as many Green      pixels than Red or Blue in a Bayer sensor, so you're far better off using      green screen than blue screen on video.
HALO: Even      with the internal sharpness generator completely disabled, the HVX-200 has      a clear black fringe several pixels wide on the right side of actors on      green screen. Panasonic vehemently denies it, but it's very easy to see.      In this      picture, notice that white areas get a fringe, but darker areas, like      her legs or hair, don't. Panasonic's explanation has been that it's just a      shadow from the lighting (huh?), but the halo is on the KEY side — so the      only plausible explanation is a quantum singularity localized to the actor      which bends light as it passes by her body. We think it comes from the      Bayer pattern, but we're not sure. And Panasonic shouldn't feel bad. A Nikon      D80 does it too.
HEAVY COMPRESSION: Even      though it seems like a lot that we're recording at 100 MBps in the      DVCPROHD codec, if you calculate the bit-rate per true output-pixel, we're      actually still compressing at a whopping 15:1.
NOISE: Video      cameras in this price range tend to have rather high noise, and on top of      that, they're usually 8 bits per color channel. This can result in some      highly visible shadow noise that almost pixellates when the brightness is      just on the edge of a bit-threshold. You can see some of our plates doing      this.
An HVX-200 and all its brothers and sisters in its price range simply don't have the horsepower for full pixel, high dynamic range, high resolution, uncompressed production that you need to do truly professional green screen. Green screen is ultimately a scientific process, and is one of the most demanding things you can do with your camera. Regular live-action images are MUCH easier for your camera to handle, so for regular filmmaking, your camera is fine, don't feel bad.
We have nothing against the HVX-200 or its brothers or sisters — come on, we shot a whole DVD set about visual effects on it — but it's important to really understand what the limitations are. It's fine to own your own camera for regular filming. For green screen, you should consider renting the very best you can afford — and make every decision right, which is where we come in.
Thanks for reading!

Using Network Authentication for logging Forms9i?

Is it possible to use network authentication for logging into Forms9i? If so, is there documentation on what needs to be done/set up?
Thanks,
Peggy

Yes you can call a DLL on the client machine using WebUtil. See: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
There is a new how to that shows you how to call to c on the client on that page.

Using 8 cores in Log & Transfer

Is there any way to set up Final Cut Pro 6 to be using all 8 cores of a MacPro when doing Log & Transfer operations? I.e. R3D to ProRes or P2 MXF to Quicktime.
Last I checked L&T only distributed across 1 core -- Compressor was needed to use all 8. Has anything changed?

At the moment I'm converting a large amount of AVC-Intra footage from P2 cards to ProRes on a Mac Pro. FCP's current CPU usage hovers around 525% in the Activity Monitor. It's evenly split among the 8 cores. At the bottom of the window, I'm seeing 30% of the CPU idle. I didn't do anything special to set that up. I don't know how well FCP currently uses the CPUs on other L&T jobs.

Restricted stock used in intra-company stock transfer

Hi,
Can anyone give me the link about the description and difference between unrestricted stock, restricted stock and blocked stock?
And for intra-company stock transfer(in one company code), I would like to post goods issue with restriced stock. and in inter-company stock transter and third-party sales, I would not like restricted stock to be used. How can I configure in system?
Many thanks,
Aries

Hi Attila,
Thank you for your informaiton.
For different delivery types, such as LF, NLCC, NL, the checking rule are all the same. It is very unreasonalbe
because for NL(stock transfer under one company code), we would like restricted stock used and for LF and NLCC, we only want unrestricted stock. Due to the same checking rule for all the delivery types, changing checking rule will not meet the requirements for all the types. If there is a customizing to set checking rules for different delivery types. If there is not, how can I do modification to meet our requirement?
Many Thanks
Aries

Viewer window for Log & Transfer disappeared

Hello from Bonnie.
I am capturing on P2 cards using the log & transfer.
My viewer window which lets me see the clip & trim it disappeared, & I cannot find it.
Does anyone know where this switch is.
Thank you.
Bonnie

Hello Shane,
This is an old post but I tried to find the the FCP preferences in my library & there weren't any there.
I am using FCP 6
Still can't get the trim/viewer window in my log and transfer from P2 Cards.
Thanks for any info.
Also I am trying to render a 45 minute timeline that is a year old & had lots of 3D VFX. I keep getting General Error & it won't let me render.
I have had this problem over the years.
Even if I close all other tabs, I get this.
I really need to render this.
Anyone know what to do?
Cheers,

Using Customized page for logging in

Hi all,
I am trying to use an html page for logging into Sun Identity manager.
Actually we have an html page, on which we have a section in which the user can enter the credentials.
Now when he clicks the submit button, then the user should be able to login SIM.
I thought that in backend we can pass the values entered in html page to user/login.jsp.
But i am not getting in which attributes, we should get these values on user/login.jsp because i think,in backend it also calls some form and i am unable to get which form it is calling.
Any pointers can be helpful.
Thanks

i dont thik its possible use a separate html page for login.you can customise the login page(bit difficult but you can do it there are some css and .properties files are associated with that)

Anyone used AVC-Intra 50 or 100 successfully?

I'm trying to play AVCIntra 50 clips on my timelinme but they need to be rendered. Is this right? Do AVC-Intra clips that are in a project that is created to be AVC-Intra 50 need to be rendered ? Shouldn't they play without rendering?
Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks

Yes Codec wise the MXF files are an I-frame H264 MPEG 4 compression - but that is not what I uppose against.
Its Apple banging the big drum saying, that now FCP 7 works naitivly with AVC Intra both 50 and 100.
AND.... thats NOT true. Anyhow... its not logical that you dont have a Apple AVCIntra codec choise in your sequence settings.
YES I know to set the Sequence settings for ProRes... But that I have done for 2 years now and had to wait for FCP to transcode the AVCIntra MXF files to ProRES....
Now I have to wait for my sequence to render all the time, and I dont think thats a great trade off - more like a pain in the but

ADO's Use with XML for Data Transfer

Does anyone know if ADO is supported as a data transfer method
between XML and Oracle8i and back (from Oracle8i and XML)? If
not, are any other Microsoft drivers supported for this type of
operation?
null

Hi there,
I have a similar question for you: I have an ASP page (coded in vbScript) that connects to an oracle 9i database via ODBC and accesses data using ADO.
Using this method I can read and write to the database successfully for all data types except that of XML Type.
It is my understanding that a column of XML Type is fundamentally treated as a CLOB column underneath the covers. Then why can I write data to a CLOB column and not to an XML column using ADO methods??
Here is the code I am using:
'put my dom object into a variable
Dim xmlDoc
xmlDoc = objDom.xml
' Connection string
Dim cnxn
Set cnxn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnxn.Open "dsn=sc3;uid=user;pwd=password;"
' Recordset object
Dim rs
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "Select * FROM xmltabletest", cnxn, 2, 2
'write xml document to column of xml type
rs.AddNew
rs("xmlcol") = xmldoc
rs.Update
' clean up
rs.Close
cnxn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set cnxn = Nothing
Any help with this would be great. I'd also like to write the xml document to a table of xml type using the same/similar method.
Can anyone help me please?!?
Thanks in advance,
Ari

Is it mandatory to use Business object for data transfer and work flow?


<pre>
In our enterprise projects we deal with some screens where we add or update some data and again
we retrieve that data and display to user in various ways like displaying on screen as
a report or viewing in excel etc.. Most of the times, though we identify the business objects
based on the nouns in requirements document, really while implementing there will not be any
business logic in the objects. Almost all the objects which we identfy as business objects
may have methods like add, delete, update and retrieve methods. Still in these cases, is it required to
have business objects or can we use transfer object to send the data for saving and retriving or any other
pattern/guideline is there for dealing such cases?
I really appreciate your comments on this topic.
Also I apologize ahead of time if my explanation is not clear to you.
</pre>


Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rizwan.

In my opinion, DAO pattern would be suitable for you. Generally the DAO (Data Access Object) will have the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) methods to retrieve data from data-source (e.g. database). Based on the data it will create the DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) and pass them to the caller. It will also receive the DTOs from the caller and save it the data-source. Thus in your case you can
- remove the CRUD methods from the Business Objects (BO) and make them pure DTOs and use them with DAOs (If you are using JDBC codes inside your application and you don't have much of validation or processing logic in your BOs).
http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/Patterns2ndEd/DataAccessObject.htm
OR
- use BOs in combination in DAOs (if using the database connection from a pool and BOs are having complicated processing logic).

AVC INTRA 100 INGESTED CLIPS SHOWING MYSTERIOUSLY LOW DATA RATES

Just finished my first P2 chroma key shoot using AVC Intra 100. I have ingested and transcoded using log and transfer using Pro Res 422 HQ (we shot 1080 25p) Each clip is showing a data rate of around 20mbps, yet the white paper on Pro Res suggests 200mbps data rates. Even the AVC intra files are showing data rates of around 20mbps-despite the 100mbps AVC Intra- IHow come the files are showing such low data rates? How come they are not reading 200mbps??? What did I do wrong or what am I not understanding about data rates??? Thanks

Before all Hi Tom Hi Klaus and Hi String
i was looking at the forum for some one that has having the same problem than i and found it!
I'm using this new HPX-300 with the AVC-INTRA 100 codec. And when i import the content using log and transfer (final cut 7!!!) with avc-intra native plug-in, all that, to apple prores 422 hq compression the size of the video is like 14 mb/s is that right? and the quality doesn't look so good too, but this i fink is because of my computer.... AND THE INFORMATION OF THE VIDEO IN THE INFO WINDOW (more info part) IS SAYING:
DIMENDION 1920x1080
CODEC: AI16, LINEAR PMC, TIMECODE ---> why not apple Pro Res 422 (hq) ???
COLOR PROFILE:HD (1-1-1) ---> This should't be 4-2-2 ?!?!?!?!?!
If some one can explain to me who does this work i apreciate!
And all ways Tanks for sharing!

Log & transfer issues from Canon 5D

Hey,
There's some footage shot on a Canon 5D (in H.264 format), I want to use FCP 7's log & transfer feature to convert to apple pro res. However the files are greyed out and unable to click on them. Equally as unsuccessful, I can't drag them from finder on to the log & transfer window.
The files haven't been moved since copying the data from cards (which they are no longer on) so unsure as to why they are not importing. I have tried from both an external hard drive and from a server but can't access them via FCP 7.
I can view them in preview, but not in Quicktime if this helps anyone find the root of the problem

Download and install the free 'EOS Movie Plugin E1 for FCPV1.2'
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_ ii#DriversAndSoftware
Use the Log and Transfer to import H.264 footage form the camera or the card directly into FCP, you will have the options in the import window setting to decide what type of ProRes to convert to. Works like a charm..

GSBER field not registered when posting under tx. OASV for balance transfer

Dear gurus,
We are facing a problem when using OASV transaction for balances transfer in our fixed assets reconciliation accounts, because even we enter "GSBER - Business Area" field in the corresponding positions the system does not register it if we definetively post the document.
We are working on a SAP_APPL SAPKH60006.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

P.D. HELP we are to do the transfer on our productive system this very saturday!!!!
Edited by: LIDIA FERNANDEZ on Dec 11, 2008 1:20 PM

Hi I tested this in our 4.6 and in ECC6 in both cases it update the BA.
An other option you can use the transaction ABF1.
Fill in
Deb pst key 70 asset rec account and trand type 100
second screen
Ammount + BA (dont fill in an asset number
Cred pst key 75 asset rec account and trand type 100
Cred pst 50 offset account (div between aquasition and depreciation)
