Using Canopus advc110 to display on a TV

Can I use my Canopus advc110 to connect my Macbook Pro to my TV. I would like to be able to show iPhoto slide shows on my TV, but have not yet figured out how to do it. I have the advc110 connected with firewire. I have the RYW cables connected to the output in the back of the advc110 and the other ends connected to the input in the TV. Nothing. Is what I am trying to do impossible? Thanks

iCloud does not include a feature like the old MobileMe Gallery.
Photo Stream does work on the AppleTV, but will only show the last 1000 photos taken and synced to iCloud. You can't create user-defined galleries.
Until June 30th 2012 (when MobileMe closes down), you can still access your MobileMe Galleries, by logging in using your [email protected] MobileMe AppleID and password. That still works for now.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a long-term solution for your particular usage.

Canopus ADVC110 is giving me Black and White picture which is misaligned

Very new to Analogue to Digital converting so please forgive ignorance!
I am in the UK. I have Canopus ADVC110 is giving me black and white pictures which is misaligned and shows specked picture noise. I see bottom on one frame and top of another with a black line ("frame" rebate?) running through the middle of the monitor screen in iMovie.
I have leads from my camera plugged into the front of box and firewire out of the back into MacBook Pro running iMovieHD v6.0.3.
I have set the dip switches to both PAL and NTSC just in case I got the output from my camera wrong (even tho' says Pal on it).
In iMovie I choose DV as video format and it picks 29.97 fps automatically. iMovie shows me the capture is NTSC from the Canopus box.
The Canopus website has poor support so I am at Discussions mercy!

As you're in the UK, you MUST use the 'PAL' setting, and choose a new Project in iMovie to be 'PAL' ..that's 25 frames per second.
If you do that, your import will be OK, instead of of shifted and black-&-white.
Work with Pal throughout (25fps) and you'll be OK. Set iMovie's Preferences to PAL 25fps, then Quit iMovie and restart it, to force all future Projects to be PAL 25 fps.
Do the same, too, for iDVD if you're going to use that to burn DVDs after you've edited your movies.

Problems importing VHS video via Canopus ADVC110

OK, I can't figure out how best to do this. I picked up a Canopus ADVC110 converter box to aid in digitizing a stack of VHS tapes. Yesterday I performed a short (1 minute) trial run and was unsatisfied with the results.
I imported the footage into iMovie '08, then tried burning a DVD of the clip iDVD. The result looked noticeably worse than the original tape. I'd settle for near quality, but this showed heavy compression, darker and grainier image, etc. I tried burning both "medium" and "large" versions that were sent to the Media Browser. Same result. I even tried exporting the project as a Quicktime DV stream and burning a DVD using Toast Titanium 9. No difference.
Now, the video preview inside iMovie seems to look OK, but then again it's hard to compare what I'm seeing there with the finished DVD video that I watch on my 13" television. I'm thinking that something is going haywire in the export and DVD-burning phase, though I may be way off on that one.
In any case, I'd love to hear from anyone who is attempting to do similar transfers and how they achieved the best-looking results. I'm merely trying to whittle down my collection of VHS tapes, but if the transfer quality can't be improved I'm kind of stuck...
Oh, I also own FCP Express 4, and am wondering if that might produce a better import? I have no idea.
Any advice or comments from past experience would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
David

Use iMovie 06 not iMovie 08.
For interlaced video such as DV and 1080i HDV, iMovie 08 now uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage.
If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie '08, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is the best combination. Use Professional Quality in iDVD 08.
When I use iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 I get excellent results.
I use the Canopus ADVC300 because it comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06. The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material.
The Web site below has a good comparison of Apple video products.

iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

Canopus ADVC110 to 15" macbook pro retina 2013 Model

Hai All,
How can i connect Canopus ADVC110 to 15" macbook pro retina 2013 Model

Same doubt here,
Theoretically you could use a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter from Apple.
The remaining question is: will it provide enougth energy to power the ADVC110 unit?

Anyone use the Eye-One Display 2 to Calibrate their monitors?

Just wondering if anyone on the forum today has used the Eye-One to calibrate their monitors and if you like it?

The best way to view DV video output is on a monitor that is designed for that format. Computer monitors are progressive and run in a different color space than NTSC/PAL monitors. If you want to really see how your video slide show displays, you should monitor it on an NTSC display. Keep in mind that LCD and plasma TVs still do not have the dynamic range of good ol' crt TVs. The sony PVM-14L2 (now discontinued) is a great choice for monitoring DV.
How to calibrate a NTSC monitor:

You need some device between the computer and the TV to convert the firewire out DV into analog to be fed to the TV. The A/DV converter can be your camcorder, a DV deck or a dedicated device such as those made by Canopus (the ADVC series).
S-video should yield a better signal than composite. Component would be better yet but most simple a/dv converters don't offer that as an i/o option.
If you want to work in HDV, all of the above is meaningless. HDV does not monitor via firewire. You need a 3rd party card (eg Kona LH) or an external DVI box (Matrox MXO) to convert the signal to a displayable format. And, you need an HD monitor or, with the Matrox, you can use a 23" Apple display.
Good luck.

Canopus ADVC110 - No Audio When Importing into Imovie 6

I'm trying to import a vhs video tape from a vcr through the canopus ADVC110 into imovie. The video comes over fine, but there is no audio. I've checked the connections and they all look correct. Any ideas?

I am having the exact same problem except I am using iMovie HD 5.0.2. It is definetly not my camcorder because I tried connnecting other audio sources to the converter. No audio is recognized by iMovie. I tried "cycling the power" opening and quitting GarageBand and deselecting ouput to camcorder. Nothing seems to work. Please help!!

Capturing through Canopus ADVC110

Hi
I'm trying to capture some DV Footage to Final Cut. I'm trying to capture through a Canopus ADVC110. Whenever I click Capture Now and error message comes up stating that there is no video present. Device control works fine however, and I can see the timecode meter moving in FCP so I know that there is communication going on. Also I can output from FCP into the deck through the Canopus no problem.
Now I can plug in to the rear Firewire port on the G5 and capture. However I would really rather capture through the Canopus, as the tower is in the basement in a machine room. So it would be much easier if I could just plug into the Canopus instead of having to trek downstairs if I need to change a tape or something.
Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Another editor is using the Canopus right now, but IIRC, there was one switch that was set differently than the others.
I do believe you have to use Non-controllable device when the Canopus is inbetween your deck and the mac. (can't remember offhand)...maybe not.
I believe System Profile should see the Canopus. What other FW devices are plugged in (i.e. the 'unknown device') If you have more than one FW device, it may be causing conflicts, being on the same FW bus.
I'm confused about something. You said the tower is downstairs. Where is the deck?...and what kind is it? Please outline more specifically where your equipment is, how it's routed, what type it is.
I see you're on OS 10.4.1 w/FCP 5.1.4...what version of QT?
Post back,

Canopus ADVC110 with Yosemite

July 2012 I successfully used a Canopus ADVC110 analog to digital converter to transfer VHS tapes from a VCR to my MacBook. My OS and iMovie were the then current versions. I set out to transfer more VHS tapes using Yosemite and the latest version of iMovie without success. i have noted that iMovie now only accepts input from camcorders which may be part of the problem. However when I try to use Image Capture it does not show the ADVC110 as an external connected device. Can anyone help?

What do you mean by your explanation, don't follow. Have Canopus ADVC110 connected to iMac w/ Yosemite 10.10.2 but iMovie doesn't list the device as an option under cameras from wich to import.

Canopus ADVC110 and PE2

My Pyro AV link that I used for years with PE2 got taken out by a lightning strike to the house. Just got a Canopus ADVC110 to replace it. I can not get it to work with PE2. Called Canopus tech support and they said the ADVC110 is not made for digital input signals? Yet it works fine with Ulead that is also on my PC. He suggested that I connect my digital movie camera (Canon Optura 20) directly to my PC and use PE2. What are my best options? Will a newer version of PE work with the ADVC110 and my Canon. I also covert some old VHS tapes as well.
Thanks.

The Canopus ADVC is an excellent DV bridge that should work fine with Premiere Elements.
It should work just like the ADS Pyro. You just plug your camcorder into it and then FireWire that into your computer. Although you can't control the camcorder with your computer, you can capture video ported from the camcorder or any other AV source into it.
If you just can't get it working and you can't get support from Canopus, you might try posting to the Muvipix forum. Those guys are some of the most knowledgeable video folks on the web. It's likely at least one can offer you guidance.

I can no longer read my bank statements. I believe they are using a PDF to display this information.

I can no longer read my bank statements. I believe they are using a PDF to display this information. If I go to chrome it will open the bank statements but Firefox no longer open these flies. Why??????

It's very unusual to get no results for PDF in the Application preferences list. It's possible that the file which stores those preferences might have become corrupted. Perhaps it would be best to rename or delete the file and let Firefox re-create it.
Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. After things setting down, check the Application preferences again to see whether PDF is listed and then set the drop-down on the right side to the desired action.
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
Does that work any better?

How can I use my 23" cinema display with a pc laptop?

I see various questions out there about using Apple Cinema Displays and PCs, but each one has its own twist. If anybody can help with this scenario, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I use one of the last editions of the Powerbook G4. I just bought a 23" Cinema Display and, of course, love it. It is supposed to replace an old CRT monitor in the home office, which brings me to my problem. Can I hook up a pc laptop to use with the Cinema Display (I ocassionally need the pc laptop and my wife and kid use it as well). I realize it will depend on the graphics card. Offhand I'm not sure which one it is, but the Dell is just shy of a year old and has good graphics, albeit VGA. I need a female DVI (I assume DVI-I) and a male VGA connector. Do these exist? I'm also looking for a PC Card DVI-I graphics card, but I don't know if these exist either.
I could buy a Dell (or some other brand) monitor that has both DVI and VGA connections, but I really want to keep the Cinema Display. It's gorgeous.
Thanks for any help.
Regards.

Phil,
Thank you for the reply. I kind of figured this was the case. I have found two "boxes" that supposedly handle this problem. One is from Dr. Botts called Vgator and the other is from Gefen (www.gefen.com), but these solutions are very expensive -- $300 each -- and I am not certain of the quality of the picture. For that kind of money, I could buy a cheap PC monitor and just use the Cinema Display for Mac-only needs, as it was intended.
Take care.
Dan.

How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire). Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need? Thank you very much for your help.

To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop. Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ?
