Very technical question regarding HDMI ARC

Hi all, I'm planning out a HT purchase, and I plan on setting it up like this: Devices (Cable/PS4) -> TV (via HDMI)TV -> 2.1 ch Soundbar (via...) For the TV to Soundbar connection, I could just use an Optical connection, get 2.1ch lossless via Linear PCM and call it a day and be happy. But the HDMI ARC connection has me intreugied, and where my questions come in. 1.) Can I use HDMI ARC even if I NEVER have the TV's input set to the soundbar source (ie. making it a passive upstream audio only and essentially replacing the role of a Toslink Optical connection). 2.) If this even can be done, would I still get the benefit of Controlling the soundbar through my TV remote? (via Control through HDMI 3.) Lastly, would I still get the same S/PDIF, 2.1ch lossless audio LPCM this way? If it matters, the planned purchases are:TV: Sony X850CSoundbar: Sony HT-CT780 I've asked on some technical A/V forums before but no good response to this yet - maybe because my setup plan is an odd one, usually HDMI ARC is there to prevent the need for another cable (like Optical) but if I can get control from HDMI I think its worth investigating. Thanks!

I know it's a lot later but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. I wound up toying with the system myself and it works fine, and what Dimestore said is true.
The ARC protocol is passive in the sense that it's constantly feeding back despite the input of the TV
And honestly, the communication between the Sony devices is great. In fact, the TV itself can read the different inputs through to the soundbar and display them as separate inputs on the TV. It's pretty cool.
Thank you both for your responses!

Technical question regarding xml:lang...

Greetings,
I have a bit of a technical question regarding language alternative (Lang Alt), are these valid statements if there is no alternatives (using dc:title as an example):
1)
This is a test title
2)
This is a test title
3)
This is a test title
Are these values valid, or is there an obligration to put them in an rdf:Alt ?? In my head 1 and 2 are valid, but no 3, am I right?
Thanks!

A very basic question regarding data block

Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
Navnit

Hello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

Technical Question regarding TCP Ports

Morning All
The Set up - 1xXP PC running BTNP and 1xWin7 Laptop running MSE
1xBTHHV2.0B
1xBTVision box (currently not connected)
I have posted elsewhere on here about strange results regarding attempts (via UDP ports) to connect to my PC and have been trying to stop this or even look into who, what and why. At this present time BTNP has been manually configured to report everything and I'm getting some interesting attempts. Anyway googling this, that and the other has sent me in the direction of TCP Ports.
Upon opening "netstat" via a command prompt on the PC it shows that 4 TCP Ports are currently "established" and 1 is showing "close_wait". All these refer to the localhost:**** which I guess is okay?
However, opening "netstat" on the Laptop shows 8 TCP Ports are currently "TIME_WAIT" (in the state section) and 1 refering to which IP the laptop is assigned with and the www IP address. It's the 8 I'm slightly concerned about. They refer to what I believe is the BT Vision server IP address (127.0.0.1). The same address is found on the BTV box.
Apparently, to block TCP connections the user needs to manually configure the router firewall which AFAIK can't be done on the BTHH2.0B.
So here's the Q's
1) Is it normal to have a computer TCP connection with what appears to be BT Vision?
2) If not how do I block/close the TCP ports without using a router firewall that appear to be BT Vision?
3) Why would the BTV IP address be dispalyed if the box has not been connected for some time?
None technical replies would be good

@ Roger.
Wow what a read!
Am I correct to assume that UDP transmissions are safe as they don't go anywhere as the firewall stops them? I'm still intrigued as to why various transmissions are attempted (ie. microconnect, BTVision, Binary Trojan maker etc etc etc).
Currently re reading yet again and will post regarding TCP...........
.............TCP has to make a connection? A packet is sent from A to B and back to A. It is then that data can be exchanged. A and B's serial numbers can also be exchanged. Then when they have a full 'duplex' connection, A and B can send data to the each other anytime they want. And all A has to do is just give the operating system some stuff to send?
That worries me or am I reading into this the wrong way?

Technical question regarding Video Preview options in Seq Settings

I am trying to wrap my head around some of the unique differences between FCP7 and PrP 5.5. What is the function of the Video Preview choices in the Sequence Setting menu? It seems standardized to I Frame Only MPEG with other options depending on what your source footage is. Why would I use this setting as opposed to 1080 (for an AJA sequence made from Prores footage) or P2 (for an Adobe seq built from the same Prores footage) or Red which gives you no options then the one I just mentioned?
In FCP when things were rendered they were used when I would export the sequence. Is PrP 5.5 the same? If I am previewing a 1080 sequence in I Frame Only MPEG, does that mean on output the whole entire sequence and effects need rendering? What is the best work flow when using Adobe or AJA sequences in regard to this Video Preview setting? It is so different from what I am used to I want to make informed choices.

Maximum Bit Depth is only suitable when ingesting 4:2:2 material and exporting with AJA or BM
Oh, man... not again. This is not true, at all. Maximum Bit Depth has nothing to do with 4:2:2 AJA or BlackMagic. And Maximum Bit Depth is not just for use with 10-bit or greater source footage. It can be used with 8-bit material--DV, H.264, MPEG2, anything--to great benefit.
(The following is copied and pasted since I've written it so many times...)
What Maximum Bit Depth (either in the Sequence Settings or in the Export Settings) does is enable Premiere Pro to render and composite in 32-bit floating point color. It has nothing (or at least, little) to do with the source footage, but controls how effects and transformations that shift pixels around are rendered. Any effect in the Effects panel that has a 32-bit badge on it will benefit from Maximum Bit Depth--the expense is greater memory requirements and processing time, but the payoff is a higher degree of color fidelity and precision in the rendered image. Gaussian Blur, for example, is a 32-bit effect that will show a great difference between when it is rendered with MBD on versus when it is off--even if you're rendering/exporting to an 8-bit format, like DV.
From Karl Soule's article on this topic, The Video Road – Understanding Color Processing: 8-bit, 10-bit, 32-bit, and more:
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV without the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame, then write DV at 8-bit.
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DV at 8-bit. The color corrector working on the 32-bit blurred frame will be higher quality then the previous example.
A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will be still higher quality because the final output format supports greater precision.
A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX without the max bit depth flag. We will clamp 10-bit DPX file to 8-bits, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame, then write 10-bit DPX from 8-bit data.
A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 10-bit DPX file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will retain full precision through the whole pipeline.
A title with a gradient and a blur on a 8-bit monitor. This will display in 8-bit, may show banding.
A title with a gradient and a blur on a 10-bit monitor (with hardware acceleration enabled.) This will render the blur in 32-bit, then display at 10-bit. The gradient should be smooth.
What Maximum Bit Depth does is allow Premiere Pro's rendering engine to have more room to run, with a higher degree of precision. It's important to remember that rendering internally is different than exporting--and even when you're "rendering" previews, you're actually exporting, because you're creating composited video files of one sort or another. That's why there is a Maximum Bit Depth checkbox in the Sequence Settings--that affects preview files, not exports. When you're using hardware MPE, you're always operating in MBD--or more specifically, you're rendering in 32-bit linear color. Generally, this is "better," though I've lamented about the negative effects of linear color processing, e.g. annoying opacity differences on dissolves, shaggy alpha channels, etc.
The bottom line is that Maximum Bit Depth allows Premiere Pro to generate better (subjective), more technically accurate (objective) output, regardless of the input and output format.

He I have a very basic question regarding reporting of invoice lines and related receiver lines

The documentation shows that receiver transaction id and receiver shipment header and line id should be joined to the same columns in AP invoice lines but these columns are not populated. What is the join for Payables and Purchasing 12.0 and beyond. We are on 12.2.4.
Please advise.

Yes, he does not want redirects because it is POF. Also, redirects don't stay in address bar (at the one I created) - once the screen loads you see the same long URL in address bar. He says I should be able to create another public name for the website (made of forms and reports). Maybe I should go with MOD_REWRITE module? I am reading about it now and they say it's more like renaming then redirecting and I think that's more like what my boss is looking for. Key question: if I use MOD_REWRITE to redirect, would the original (long) URL string be displayed once the first screen loads? I am trying to avoid that. I need users to type http://virtualserver/welcome and to STAY that way in address bar.
Thanks.

Very basic question regarding drag/drop files in 10.6.5

Just (finally) updated to Snow Leopard and the simple way of dragging a file to the bar (just above the list of items in the folder) so as to move it to that folder no longer works.
I prefer not to drag it to above other files in the folder and hoping that the file won't end up in a folder (which has now happened several times).
There must be a simple-no-brainer way of doing this as there was before in 10.5 and as far back as I can remember (been using Macs since the mid-90's).
Why did Apple decide to change this? Did they find a simpler way that I haven't figured out?
Thanks for any advice.
RonL

MacRumors forum answered my question almost immediately... and yes they acknowledged that Apple had changed this in Snow Leopard for no good reason.
On both my Leopard and Snow Leopard systems, you cannot drag a file to the title bar (not the "name bar"). On both systems, you can drag a file to the empty space in a window. I just tested to make sure. So, either your description of the problem is completely and utterly inadequate, you are misunderstanding what was said on MacRumors, or someone on MacRumors doesn't know what they're talking about.
How long have you guys been using Macs?
26 years, like baltwo. As a Mac support professional, programmer, web designer and more. I've forgotten more about Macs than you have ever known, I'm sure. Nobody here is impressed that you have used Macs for a little more than half that time, and your rudeness is most definitely not appreciated.
It's one thing to not give me an answer... no problem, fine, but it is an entirely different thing to say that what I have done for years, and that has worked easily for me, has never worked.
You claim that it changed with Snow Leopard. Clearly, it did not. As I've said, I have both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems and have verified that as fact. Once upon a time you could drag to the title bar, but I honestly don't have any idea when that behavior changed. I'd guess in 10.0, but have no way to verify that at this point.

Technical question regarding ptcor code

Hello,
I have the following problem with my custom PTCOR application: (WTimeCor is the actual application name)
When I submit all time events, do a EXECUTE_DELEGATE in PTCOR_UIA_FORM_DELEGATE and then execute the method restartService(); of VCConfirmation, everything works fine but the overview falls back to the current week.
When I try saving anything afterwards (deleting, modifying, creating) without using restartService() before, I get the following BAPI Error:
No customizing for status type COR, status POSTED, transition event SEND
any property I need to reset? like FORM_DIRTY or setting a different request-id?
thank you very much

thanks for you answer. I sense it may be some kind of unfinished workflow.
I tried to skip review steps inside the application and save the modification all at once, which means:
PTCOR_UIA_FORM_PREPARE with IM_COMMAND "CREATE"
FORM_ACCEPT with IM_COMMAND "ACCEPT_SEND" (copy request-id and structure content from FORM_PREPARE output)
FORM_DELEGATE with IM_COMMAND "NEXT"
and
FORM_DELEGATE with IM_COMMAND "EXECUTE_DELEGATE"
all triggered from WD Java. I took these FM from the original PTCOR application, I don't know if there's a FM that saves a time event without any workflow steps.
Now what restartService() does is, it navigates via the FPM back to the application so the application is created anew, PTCOR customizing is being read and WEEKLY_CALENDAR is read as well (if I understood that correctly). It seems to initialize a new workflow so I am able to save a new time event to via the above method.
Best Regards

Technical question regarding network settings

There does not seem to be much "answered questions" on this forum -- more like a gripe forum - but I'll give it a shot:
I occassionally do file transfers between my mac and pc, using a connected ethernet cable -- and have had no problems with this until after I did a successful transfer today. Then I was not able to do another. I looked at my Local Area Connection settings - Details - and noticed that the Autoconfiguration IPv4 address that was once there, was no longer there. This may explain why the mac was not able to 'find' the pc -- but I'm not sure. Looking at other sites on the web, it appears there should not only be a Autoconfiguration IPv4 address (which was there before, because I took the IP address 169.254.xxx.xx address from there before) - but there also should be an Autoconfiguration IPv4 'enabled' [yes] setting there also, which also does not appear in my settings. I suspect I must have inadvertantly changed a setting when I did the last transfer, but do not know what or how to correct it. Thank you!

Some questions if you do not mind:
#1 What kind of cable is it?
#2 Is this cable connected directly to the two computers or do you have a cable for those two computers connected to something else?
#3 If you have a cable for those two computers connected to something else, what is the band and model of that something else? For example I have my computers connected to a Linksys E4200v1
#4 Regardless if this cable connected directly to the two computers or do you have a cable for those two computers connected to something else, do you know how to setup a Static IP on your computer?

Another technical question regarding NOKIA 301 Dua...

Sunday I was in the mountain where the network coverage was very sparse or missing. Of course, my phone lost the operator signal. But when I arrived again in the town (where the operators signal is normal), the phone could not manage to find the operator signal (SIM 1) again. After restarting the phone by switching off and on, the phone registered both operators signals (SIM 1 and SIM 2 ) normally. Do you think that this situation is normal? For example, my old phones (1680, 1650 and 6303) always manage to find the operator signal when, after disappearance, the network coverage appeared again, without need to restart them. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well.. I'd say its normal and maybe its a better thing to do. When under no network coverage for a prolonged period, my Nokia 311 does not register to network even when I'm finally in the network coverage area.
The point is that the phone gives up and stops trying hard to find the network coverage when it is not able to receive any network for a prolonged period. This is actually good as the phone will firstly stop wasting its battery just to keep the antennas highly sensitive and look for network.
That said, i think it still keeps trying to find the coverage, but the attempts are done not in immediate succession. I'm able to say this as sometimes my phone catches up the network again by the time I really reach home after entering the coverage area.
Whatever it is, I'm sure a restart won't hurt much especially if it helps in saving battery and also to save you from the high radiations the antennae emits while looking for the network in no coverage areas.

Very important question regarding upgrade

I want to get the Droid Incredible 2 when I am allowed to upgrade (7/27) and I have a feature phone. I was going to activate a Blackberry Curve 8330 but I was wondering, if I got the 30$ personal unlimited data, would I be grandfathered in and keep unlimited data when I upgrade at the end of July?
Better yet, do you think its possible for me to upgrade early? My phone is slightly messed up, not sending texts or recieveing calls sometimes. and some buttons do not work.
Thanks for any help.

A technical question regarding NOKIA 301 Dual SIM

Several days ago I bought new NOKIA 301 Dual SIM.
It is equipped with charger NOKIA AC-20E, input AC 100 - 240 V/120 mA, output DC 5V/750 mA.
Also, I have several other (old or non-Nokia) chargers:
1) NOKIA AC-10E, input AC 100 - 240 V/160 mA, output DC 5V/1200 mA;
2) NOKIA AC-3E, input AC 100 - 240 V/60 mA, output DC 5V/350 mA (for this charger, I have proper adaptor for NOKIA 301 Dual SIM);
3) USB charger L-STAR , input AC 100 - 240 V, output DC 5V/1000 mA+/-5%
May I use these above listed (old or non-Nokia) chargers for charging my new NOKIA 301 Dual SIM (or which of them are compatible with NOKIA 301 Dual SIM)? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Choose the one with output 5V, 1200mA or the one which came for your phone, output 5V, 750mA.
More the output mA, the faster battery will charge. I don't recommend non Nokia ones.
Hope this helps.
