Using the HDMI-In port of the A300

One of the key features of the Ideacentre A300 [57115581] is the HDMI-In / HDMI-Out ports.
First I tried the HDMI-Out port; it worked perfectly - both picture and multi-channel digital audio.
Now I am attempting to use the display in 'TV' mode by selecting the 'HDMI-In' setting on the touch-sensitive display button. PC is not switched On. Connecting an external HDMI DVD player with HDMI cable connected to the HDMI-In port on the A300. But can't get anything on the display; A300 display shows 'No Signal'!
What am I doing wrong? How should the HDMI-In port be used?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi FB, hope your problem was automatically resolved when you rebooted the A300? The display should hv come On in PC mode. Else you can gently touch the same right-most feather-touch sensor (button), on the bottom-right edge of the LCD panel, and keep touching it with your finger tip for 2 secs; the display status will appear on the screen and you will see the current mode highlighted. Again v gently tap the sensor to toggle the display mode thru the other settings -> PC / HDMI-in / LCD-off
PC mode will take you to the regular Windows display; HDMI-in will show you a display if any video source is connected via an HDMI cable to the system's HDMI-in port; and LCD-off will turn-off the LCD panel. HDMI-in can even be viewed without booting-up the system (just keep the input power adapter switched On).
'No Signal' will flash on the screen when (a) display is in PC mode and the system hasn't booted-up; or (b) display is in HDMI-in mode and no video source is connected thru the HDMI-in port.
I hope this helps.

How read from the HDMI Input Port?

Pulling down the Add Media menu in my Premiere Elements 11 window, I do not see an HDMI port input.
My Dell XPS ONE PC (running Win 8.1 Pro) has an HDMI Input port.
I would like to pull audio/video off this port into Premiere Elements 11 to edit and save to a disk file.
Any ideas on this?
Thank you!

AT,
Thank you for your reply.
First to comment on DV, HDV data capture. Yes, reading Adobe documentation I see the Premier Elements data capture works with Firewire.
For example, one Adobe document is at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/setting-system.html
The HDMI port in this diagram is an output port on the camcorder and connects to a TV set. That way the user can monitor the data capture in progress.
I suspect that most PC's and laptops, like the DV/HDV camcorder labeled with letter "D." in the Adobe diagram have an HDMI output port only. The intent is to put the screen or video content out to an external TV.
Some PC's now, as does my Dell XPS, include an HDMI input port. It is connector # 15 on the diagram for the XPS at

To make my post brief and concise I purposely left out any detail about the input device. I believe HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. I want to assume some high definition (and therefore high speed) digital data stream accompanied by a digital audio stream is coming into the PC. Whatever HDMI supports, the HDMI hardware on the PC input port should handle.
As one example, I should be able to play a file from my DVR into the PC over the HDMI input port. This might be a saved TV show or a clip from a DV/HDV camera recording.
That's just an example. But, what I am trying to do is recover the video/audio off an old Samsung SCL901 Hi8 camcorder. I was asked and I told my acquaintance I would try.
The camcorder interface is the legacy S-video port. A second audio port (3.5 mm female jack) carries (as you know) only mono audio (left side in the stereo cable).
One thing to do is to play the camcorder Hi8 tape into my DVR. The DVR has a legacy S-Video port and phono plugs for the audio right in the front panel. Then burn a DVD. Then put the DVD in the PC, read it into Premier Elements and edit the material.
Instead, what I'd like to do is play the tape right into the PC. There seems to be a lot of legacy media that folks have just let sit around way too long. And now the world has passed them by. Enough people that apparently some companies have built converters.
I looked at this S-video to HDMI converter.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Composite-S-Video-and-HDMI-to-HDMI-Converter-and-Switch-w-HDMI-P AL-NTSC-Support/39457809
This is a Roku brand S-Video to HDMI converter. It upsamples the legacy 480i to 720p or 1080p HDMI digital signal.
The Roku converter appears to get the S-Video into the PC hardware. Then what?
It was sort of wishful thinking pulling down the “Add Media” menu tab in Premier Elements 11, wanting to read from the HDMI Input port.
Still, Adobe does magical things, so I thought I would ask in this forum.
So “Yes” to your add-on question at the end of your post. I was thinking of capture via HDMI. And I agree with your first impression that this is not possible.
It could be there is software available from somewhere that will dump the HDMI port on the PC directly into an AVI, MOV, Microsoft, Flash, mpeg, DVD or some other standard file format. Then Premier Elements can open the file for further editing.
AT, I appreciate your response and comments on this project. They have been useful guides. Thank you so much for your time.

I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all? I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one. I did not think there could be a difference.
Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
How to proceed???
I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI. Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870. That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
Thanks,
Bill

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?

The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

I have an Airport Extreme which I'm using for a wireless network. Can I also plug in my iMac to one of the free ethernet ports on the Airport Extreme to connect to the Internet that way? Thank you.

Is there a difference between the Ethernet WAN port and the other 3 Ethernet Ports on a Time Capsule?

As posted previously, my time capsule will not set up properly because I get an IP address conflict pop up window. Is there a difference between the "Ethernet WAN Port" and the other three ports on the back of the Time Capsule? I may have the DSL modem hooked into the "Ethernet WAN Port". Thanks.

it depends what you want to achieve and what configuration you have on your DSL modem/router.

Dose the HDMI Cable have Audio Support or do I need to use the Optical Audio Port on the ATV?

I recently noticed that the Apple TV has an "Optical Audio" port on the back, next to the HDMI port. Before I buy one, will I need to buy a Optical Audio cable, or will the HDMI cable suply sound to the TV?

HDMI carries both audio and video. The optical port is for connecting to a receiver/external speakers.

How do you make use of the 2nd Ethernet port on the Mac Pro?

My Mac Pro's ethernet port connects it to the local network and the internet.
Under what circumstances would I make use of the 2nd port?
Are there any settings I'd have to set up in system preferences to make sure one is used for some things while the other is used for different things?
I'm asking because we might be making some changes to our network. We have a printer with a Fiery RIP and I'm pretty much the only one who prints to it. I was wondering if we could/should set up a direct, dedicated connection so that network traffic won't bog down print jobs.

The main use for that port today is to create a subnetwork for Internet Sharing. Software inside the Mac can act as a Router and provides new DHCP Addresses for the subnetwork. In general, the devices on the subnetwork would be inaccessible from anywhere else, due to Network Address Translation.
If you are concerned about heavy network traffic, consider upgrading your Switches (not Routers) to Gigabit Ethernet speeds and using Jumbo frames. (Routers are not involved in peer-to-peer transfers such as Printing when no Address Translation is involved.)
If you have an Industrial Router, you can combine the two Ethernet ports into one composite link for faster-than-Gigabit effective speeds, but it requires a special Router not generally available.

Is it possible to communicate with two different devices using two seperate serial ports in the same labview program?

The two bits of the program will talk to each instrument successfully if the other part of the program is not running. i do not need them to communicte with both serial ports at the exact same time, just within the same program, one after the other. i am using labview 6. any ideas of what i could be doing wrong?

Hello,
If you are using the Legacy serial VIs, you should really switch to the VISA VIs. Also make sure you are opening a session to each of the com ports at the beginning of the program and closing each at the end of the program. Problems can arise if your try to open a session to a port that already has a session open. Also you should update LabVIEW to 6.0.2
If you are still having problems post the error code and error message you are getting.

HP Docking (VB041AA) - Using DVI and Display Port at the same time

Hello,
is it supported to use the DV and the Display Port of a HP 90W Docking (VB041AA) at the same time? I use this setup with two LA2405wg and a 6450b for a couple of weeks and I encounter a couple of problems:
- flickering and switching during bootup, same output on both displays, no output
- hibernation resume fails, if notebook was hibernated undocked (hiberfil.sys corrupt)
- sometimes Win7 crashs during startup with corrupt drivers
- spooky display lockups were a display goes into standby and can't be switchec on or off. I have to pull the power cord
Some of them are really strange (corrupt drivers, but after a restart the notebooks starts without problems). During operation I don't have any problems, no BSoDs etc.
Thanks for advice.

Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage, as this is the consumer support forums.

Is it necessary to use the optical audio port on the apple tv

Do I have to have an optical audio cord to get sound on the apple tv

No, the HDMI will also play audio to your TV.

Are there any peripheral devices available that use the 30 pin port on the iPad?

I am particularily interested in a portable scanner to take with me to various meetings and scan the inevitable paper handouts on the spot.

I dont think you need a scanner to do what you describe if you have a pad 2 (with camera). There are some apps that act like scanners. Docscan hd looks like one. Search the app store for scanner and see if there is somethingnthere that will do what you need. You have a camera, you sure dont want to haul around another device.

How diagnose the extra SATA ports on the Mac Pro (early 2008) logic board?

I have had two SSDs in an OWC multi-mount in the second optical bay, one for Lion and one for Photoshop scratch. However, I recently began having intermittent boot problems. Sometimes there wouldn't be an Apple symbol upon boot/reboot, yet sometimes there would and the computer would boot. I have not experienced any crashes, kernel panics or such.
I thought the Lion SSD was faulty so installed Mountain Lion on the scratch drive, a Mercury Electra 3G which I have recently received as a replacement from OWC due to a previously faulty SSD. However, immediately there were boot problems from that SSD.
I have a feeling there is something wrong with the two extra SATA ports on the logic board. I am now booted off the Lion SSD placed in an external USB enclosure, which works but is a bit slower (I will get a bracket to install that SSD in the ordinary internal bays).
My question is how I can diagnose the logic board generally and specifically the extra SATA ports. I have Tech Tool Pro 6. I also thought I had AHT but on the Leopard DVD 1, which came with the Mac Pro (10.5.2) and on which AHT is supposed to be there is no trace of AHT. Odd. Booting from that DVD will only bring up the Leopard installer.
Btw I do think the Electra is broken because I am unable to boot ML from it in the USB enclosure.
Grateful for any ideas how to check my logic board.
Cheers
/p

If you could move the drives easily to another location then you could test the drives and also - make backup images! just to be safe. SSDs and their firmware and problems are almost all too common, even this last June a large issue with SandForce which OWC uses in some/most of theirs, and I get the feeling they are usually behind in testing and sending out firmware updates.
Corsair, Crucial and Intel have all had issues since it surfaced in May.
Diagnosing a motherboard with Apple Service Diagnostic CD is one thing. Swapping out SATA cables though no. WD Lifeguard does check communication to an SATA device drive and can - but you need to see the device in Windows or their boot CD (linux I imagine). Quite good utility though maybe not for an SSD.
