VGA Projection Question

My macbook pro is currently hooked up to a TV via SVGA. I have to present a powerpoint on the TV and I would like to make it fullscreen; however, the TV is treated like an extension of the computer rather than a projection. My question is, how do I make it so that what is happening on my computer is happening on the TV. Thanks.

Have you set up the displays to mirror each other - and with what results? (SysPrefs/Displays/AutoDetect/Mirror Displays)
In what resolution did you save your Keynote/Powerpoint?
What is the TV's max resolution for the connection you are using?

  • 20" Cinema DVI to VGA KVM Question

    Hello all,
    Wondering if anyone has come across this. What I am trying to do is use a kvm switch for both my powermac g5 and my pc. Both are compatable with vga/dvi. The issue I have is I want to buy a linksys vga kvm switch (http://microcenter.com/singleproduct_results.phtml?productid=0148182) which only has vga ports. I would love to buy a dvi kvm switch, but the price is too high.
    So the question is, is there any way I can convert the dvi connector comming from the 20" cinema display i have to vga to be plugged in to this linksys kvm switch, which will in turn be directed to connect through vga connectors on my mac and pc? If so, do you know where I may buy the connector?
    Also, does anyone know if the cinema displays are capable of dvi-d or they dvi-i? If they are just dvi-d, then I would think it may be immpossible to connect this monitor to any analog source.
    Thanks again!
    Tim

    Tim -
    Any time you go from DVI to vga you limit your potential maximum resolution. Once you have imposed a limit, you cannot go back. I was facing the same problem and ended up with a Geffen KVM switch that supports the 30" ACD display resolutions just fine. A little pricey, yes, but compare that to the price of a second monitor...

  • VGA Bios questions...

    My VGA card is MSI FX5600-TD256.
    Here are my questions:
    1)Which is the latest Bios version for my card? My current version is 4.31.20.39.00. Is there a newer one? Searching through the web I found another version including this text in the read me file:
    Quote
    MSI GeForce FX BIOS
    Name     : GeForce FX 5600 BIOS
    Version  : 4.31.20.69.00    Ultra : No
    2)Is it worth updating the bios? (I have restart problems probably caused by graphics card...)
    3)Which is the proccess I have to follow to update it? (Just copy the .rom file in a disk and boot from that disk??)
    4)Why in MSI site there are no VGA Bios files?
    5)How do I back up my current VGA bios version?
    Thanks in advance...

    If MSI live Update finds no BIOS upgrade then there is no BIOS upgrade available. Even if there is one available, I don't recommend updating VGA BIOS unless there is a known documented issue relating to your problem. As far as I know there is no issue currently. I have not come across this issue in these forums either.
    I don't have any answers to your restart problem since you did not provide any details of this restart problem. I cannot guarantee I would even if you did, but do so anyway.
    I never update VGA BIOS's so I can't help you on backing up your current VGA BIOS. Someone else will have to step in for that.
    The MSI site doesn't archive VGA BIOS files for the public. MSI only updates the original VGA BIOS from nVidia in circumstances such as when they decide to use a different RAM package than specified from nVidia spec. Oftentimes I see users reporting that MSI Live Update hosed their VGA BIOS after an update and in a few circumstances I have been able to request the original BIOS file.
    Again, it's not worth updating the VGA BIOS as they get it right the first time and they hardly ever deviate from the original nVidia BIOS unless a certain RAM package is used for say an OEM version of the card or a performance version where they may use a faster package etc.
    I recommend looking elsewhere for your restart problem.

  • First FCEHD Project question

    Hello
    I am just finishing all of the tuturials from Tom Wolsky's book on FCE. I am getting ready to begin my first project. I am creating a sports highlight video. My question to you experienced users is what would be your recomendations for working in the timeline with music. Should I get all of my video in the timeline and then ad music tracks, or would it work better to insert my music tracks and then add the video? I am going to have 1 music track per game of highlights. I need to have the music match the portions of video.
    I hope I have provvided enough information to allow for recomendations from you guys.
    Thanks in advance.
    power mac G5 Dual 2   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   2.5 gigs Ram

    My way is cumbersome but it works for me. I create a folder for each game. I capture separate clips for each play that I feel are highlight worthy into the appropriate folder. I include a number in each clips title so I know the order they occurred in the game. Once everything is captured I review each clip and set the in/out points and drag them to the timeline, usually in their numerical order. I may change them around a little if it fits better with music.
    It is a time consuming workflow. A 2-hour game tape usually yields about 25-20 minutes of tape and from that tape I generally average about 3 minutes of highlights. My capture process generally takes about an hour to 1 1/2 hours. And then about 2-3 hours of editing (includes editing music) per game.
    But I enjoy it.
    Good luck.

  • Move project question

    I'm new to Final Cut Pro X - used FC Express (4, I think) for years.  Some how I didn't set up the project properly when I started and while the media files were on the external Firewire 800 drive I bought for the project, everything else was on the internal drive, which was fairly quickly filling up (hardware & software info below).  Did some research on this forum and used the move project command to move the project to the external drive.  The problem is now when I Launch Final Cut and open the project there are no Timeline events.  The directory and files on the hard drive look the same as they did on the internal drive.  My question is, am I screwed?  Is there any way to retrive my Timeline or do I need to start over.  I was almost done - the video was a musical we filmed here - four cameras, separate audio recording, 200+ events in the timeline.  Please help.

    In FCPX the only way to open projects is from within the app – accessing the project files from the Library.

    You have a choice of keeping your projects and events on your start up disk in th e home folder>Movies, or on another drive on your network – at the root level of that drive. Those other drives appear in the project and event libraries. If you select one of the drives and create a new event (Option–N), it will put that event in a FC Events folder at the drives root level. Creating new projects (Command–N) works similarly. IMO, it's the best way to organize projects and events.
    Also, sorry about no screenshots but I couldn't remember how to do it.

  • FCP Backup Project Questions

    Hi Everyone,
    Say I had several questions and was hoping another FCP user could answer them for me.
    I recently had a hard drive fail that housed all of the captured video for a project that was complete, but had not yet been exported out. A real bummer.
    I did not worry about it too much since it was only the captured video and audio and thought all I needed to do was just go in, select the offline files and recapture the footage. Boy was I wrong.
    This had been my backup philosophy thus far, backup my project files, graphics, music, etc etc and dump all of the captured video and audio on the project, since I had the original tapes. If I needed to go back into the project I could just recapture. I developed this from other users suggestions from here.
    Well on this project, when the hard drive crashed, since I had all the same files I would normally backup I assumed it would be the same deal. I have never had to go back to a backup project so I had not tested this before.
    When I attempt to batch capture the original footage, some captures fine, while others come up prompting me to change a file name because one already exists and even on stuff that will recapture, it comes up saying it cannot be reconnected because the capture footage does not match. Sigh. I am puzzled by these messages since, the settings for the recapture are the same, and the file cannot exist since ALL the footage is gone.
    So what I am faced with now is confusion over what is a good, solid way to backup ones projects. Am I doing something wrong when setting projects up that cause them to be such a headache to recover? Many of the projects I do are using a 24p Adavanced setting. Sometimes I remove the advanced pulldown when capturing, sometimes after I have captured. My setups, for the most part, are normally the same.
    Can I start a dialogue with some fellow editors out there who have some experience here? I am real curious to know what works for you and any thoughts on what could be causing my current woes.
    Thanks so much!

    Ok, well here is where I am at:
    I performed the XML export as suggested, but ran into the same issues. Let me give a more detailed description of the issues.
    After the hard drive crashed and I lost all my captured video and audio, I replaced the drive and named it the same as the previous one.
    So when I went back into my project, the normal message pops up that items are offline, etc. I hit continue past this and tried to batch capture the footage again. On several clips FCP (version 5.0.4) would come back reporting that there was a Duplicate Item Name and try to force me to rename it or skip (Why does it not give an option to overwrite??). Now in the bin there is only 1 clip with the name, so I am assuming it is picking up on something else. On other clips, it does not prompt this, but when I have finished recapturing (mind you I have left the box checked to use the logged settings) it comes back to report that the clip cannot be reconnected because the beginning or end times are different, etc, etc.
    So per the great suggestions on here I exported (with the Source showing in browser) the whole thing to XML and then imported it into a new project. Same problems as before. So I looked through the Source in the browser and noticed some stated they were offline, while others stated they were on the old crashed drive. So I set them all to be offline and told it to delete the files from the hard drive.
    Again I have tried to recapture to no avail.
    I am now attempting to blow out the hard drive and wipe it clean, then rename it to see if I can get FCP to recapture the darn footage.
    Does anyone else have any suggestions??
    And furthermore, what is the best method to backing up a project?? Should I go through and take all the clips offline in FCP, deleting the footage and then as I have been doing, save the project file, graphics, etc, etc. Basically, how do I get FCP to recapture stuff if I ever have such a problem or need to go back into a backed up project again??
    Thanks ALL!

  • Uicode Conversion Project - Question on transaction UCCHECK

    Hello,
    We are about to start an Unicode conversion Project. We have SAP 4.7C & we are going to make it Unicode enabled. In order to plan the ABAP/4 resource requirements precisely, I ran transaction UCCHECK to get the list of the development objects with Unicode errors. I have an urgent question with the way the transaction is executed:
    When I run UCCHECK with selection screen option "Display lines that cannot be analyzed statically" , I get too many error & majority of them say that  "the system couldnu2019t perform the check on the current statement & it can only be carried out at runtime"  When I ran UCCHECK without option "Display lines that cannot be analyzed statically" , the total error count was way low u2026
    Can someone please explain me the correct way to use transaction UCCHECK?
    Thanks in avance,
    Umang

    Pl. see this help text. U can access the same from UCCHECK's selection screen.
    ABAP Unicode Scan Tool UCCHECK
    You can use transaction UCCHECK  to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
    Some application-specific checks, which draw your attention to program points that are not Unicode-compatible, are also integrated.
    Selection of Objects:
    The program objects can be selected according to object name, object type, author (TADIR), package, and original system. For the Unicode syntax check, only object types for which an independent syntax check can be carried out are appropriate. The following object types are possibilities:
    PROG Report
    CLAS Class
    FUGR Function groups
    FUGX Function group (with customer include, customer area)
    FUGS Function group (with customer include, SAP area)
    LDBA Logical Database
    CNTX Context
    TYPE Type pool
    INTF Interface
    Only Examine Programs with Non-Activated Unicode Flag
    By default, the system only displays program objects that have not yet set the Unicode attribute. If you want to use UCCHECK to process program objects that have already set the attribute, you can deactivate this option.
    Only Objects with TADIR Entry
    By default, the system only displays program objects with a TADIR entry. If you want to examine programs that don't have a TADIR entry, for example locally generated programs without a package, you can deactivate this option.
    Exclude Packages $*
    By default, the system does not display program objects that are in a local, non-transportable package. If you want to examine programs that are in such a package, you can deactivate this option.
    Also Display Modified SAP Objects
    By default, SAP programs are not checked in customer systems. If you also want to check SAP programs that were modified in a customer system (see transaction SE95), you can activate this option.
    Maximum Number of Programs:
    To avoid timeouts or unexpectedly long waiting times, the maximum number of program objects is preset to 50. If you want to examine more objects, you must increase the maximum number or run a SAMT scan (general program set processing). The latter also has the advantage that the data is stored persistently. Proceed as follows:
    - Call transaction SAMT
    - Create task with program RSUNISCAN_FINAL, subroutine SAMT_SEARCH
    For further information refer to documentation for transaction SAMT.
    Displaying Points that Cannot Be Analyzed Statically
    If you choose this option, you get an overview of the program points, where a static check for Unicode syntax errors is not possible. This can be the case if, for example, parameters or field symbols are not typed or you are accessing a field or structure with variable length/offset. At these points the system only tests at runtime whether the code is sufficient for the stricter Unicode tests. If possible, you should assign types to the variables used, otherwise you must check runtime behavior after the Unicode attribute has been set.
    To be able to differentiate between your own and foreign code (for example when using standard includes or generated includes), there is a selection option for the includes to be displayed. By default, the system excludes the standard includes of the view maintenance LSVIM* from the display, because they cause a large number of messages that are not relevant for the Unicode conversion. It is recommended that you also exclude the generated function group-specific includes of the view maintenance (usually L<function group name>F00 and L<function group name>I00) from the display.
    Similarly to the process in the extended syntax check, you can hide the warning using the pseudo comment ("#EC *).
    Applikation-Specific Checks
    These checks indicate program points that represent a public interface but are not Unicode-compatible. Under Unicode, the corresponding interfaces change according to the referenced documentation and must be adapted appropriately.
    View Maintenance
    Parts of the view maintenance generated in older releases are not Unicode-compatible. The relevant parts can be regenerated with a service report.
    UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD
    The function modules UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete and cannot run under Unicode. Refer to the documentation for these modules to find out which routines serve as replacements.

  • Xcode project questions

    I have just created a new project in xcode.
    Now,I would like to get rid of the files proj_Prefix.pch and projPriv.h , because i don't need them. However, it seems i can't just delete them, because otherwise xcode complains about not finding them.
    In addition, can i get rid of the files projProj.xcconfig and projlTarget.xcconfig ?
    Oh, and one more question: which files of xcode should i put into the SVN repository?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Gabriel.

    You have to remove the proj_Prefix.pch and projPriv.h files from the project to delete them safely. In the project window, select the files you want to delete and press the Delete key. An alert opens asking you if you want to delete the references to the files or delete the files and references. Deleting the reference removes the file from the project but keeps it on your hard disk. Deleting the file and reference removes the file from the project and your hard disk. Deleting the reference, then moving the file to the Trash is safer than deleting the file and reference because you can recover the file if you find out you need it.
    You can get rid of the xcconfig files. Those are Xcode configuration files that contain build settings. Configuration files are useful if you make a lot of changes to Xcode's default build settings. By putting the changed settings in a configuration file, you don't have to change the settings in Xcode for every project.
    The point of a SVN repository is to track the changes you make to files. Put the files you need to track in the repository. At a minimum, you should put your source code files in the repository. What works for me is to put everything but the project's build folder in the repository. When I create a Xcode project I want to place under version control, I temporarily move the project's build folder. After importing the project into the repository and checking out the project's files, I move the build folder back with the project.

  • Adobe AIR project - Questions

    Hello I m here to solve any questions related to AIR in my mind.
    I would start an offline project that consist of displaying and editing things in a db.I would like to develop this project over AIR and Action Script 3.I know that AS3 can handle Mysql but for running Mysql DB offline it would have a mysql server running on the machine...but here would like to create a db running with my AIR application and without have to install any mysql local server.
    So witch type of DB or how can i create DB for AS3 use?
    Maybe i can use xml as tables of DB and coding the xmls as they were db parts but the datas are very huge and this will not be easy to edit things in db with xml as tables
    Thanks a lot

    The AIR runtime includes the SQLite database engine, so if you want to use a database as part of your application that is the easiest way to do so. The documentation about the built-in database functionality is here:
    Flex: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a5497-7fb4. html
    Flash:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflash/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a5497-7fb4 .html
    HTML/JavaScript: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a5497-7fb4. html
    In theory an AIR application can also communicate with any other type of database, assuming you find or write the code to perform that communication. For example, there is an open-source ActionScript library to directly access MySQL. However, as you point out, to use any server-based database you would need to have an instance of the database server running where the computer can access it.
    Aside from SQLite, the only other file-based database system that I'm familiar with is Microsoft Access. (I'm sure there are others, but I just don't know their names.) I don't know of any existing projects to work with Access database files from AIR, but again I could have just missed something.

  • GTK in Sun Studio project (question)

    I'm new to Sun Studio. My background is 22 years c/c++ non-unix development (embedded systems & Windows application development).
    I'm trying to write a GUI based c++ app for Solaris. I know this is a complete newbie question. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
    Here's my question/issue: I cannot seem to include <gtk.h>. I've installed every GTK/ GTKMM package I can find. Building/deploying any project that does not use GTK is fine. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to build a GTK app. Even the GtkFreeway example app for Sun Studio fails to compile at #include <gtk.h>.
    So, how do I set up my environment to include gtk headers and link with the appropriate libraries.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    You can use the IDE. Add the path to the gtk.h include directory in the compiler option dialog.
    For example, if gtk.h is in /opt/gtk/include, add /opt/gtk/include to the list of -I options.
    If the error you get is
    Could not open include file "gtk.h"
    it's due to the missing path.
    If you get some other error, please post the error output.
    Your experience with <> and "" for include directives is misleading. You can make incorrect inferences due to not testing every possible combination of headers locations and #include directives..
    The C++ standard says the <> form is required for standard headers. It goes on to say that the search method for the "" and <> forms is implementation-defined. The search method for Sun C++ is described in the C++ Users Guide
    [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7599/bkaso?a=view]
    The details of lookup vary only slightly among modern compilers. If you use <> for system headers and "" for project headers, you should expect to get the right result. The <> form can prevent local directories from being searched, which is appropriate for system includes, but not for project includes.

  • C-Project Question

    Hello All,
    I have a question related to C-Projects. I read that we create Project Roles and assign Business Partners to the Project Roles.
    Where do we define the capacity for the project roles or business partners, as to how much time they can work in a day. Also for business partners where do we define the cost/hr for that specific business partner. What kind of reporting is than available to know the capacity overload/underload on Project role/business partner.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sachin

    Hi Sachin,
    You can maintain the total availability for the business partner in Tcode RPM_EMPDATA - Employee Overview.
    Regarding the cost/revenue rates you need to go to-->
    SPRO >> Collaboration Projects >> Connection to External Systems >> Accounting Integration >> Define Cost/Revenue Rates
    Here you maintain the rates, but before that you need to activate the Accounting Integration.

  • Open as Project question

    Hello,
    When I have a Multitrack project open, and control click "Select all occurrences of..." of a clip, then control click Open as Project, will the changes I make in the waveform editor affect all occurences that were selected?
    If not, is there way of doing something similar? I would like to normalize a clip (nondestructively) that has many cuts without having to open each cut of the clip in the waveform editor.
    If there is an easy way of doing this please let me know... I've totally missed it.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks for the response Rick. Did you happen to see my other
    post about my exe files not closing when they open another project?
    It is causing me some MAJOR issues. Basically if the interface
    doesn't close, then the file that it is trying to switch to takes a
    very long time to open and could cause the user to think they need
    to click on the button again which as you can imagine creates an
    even bigger issue. Any thoughts?

  • 16:9 letterboxed project questions

    This is my first 16:9 project and it's a little confusing...
    My source footage is cropped to 16:9 aspect ratio from 4:3 but it's not anamorphic, it's only letterboxed. The frame size came out to be 720X404 when cropped and compressed with Compressor. Is that right? can I use this .m2v file in DSP or I HAVE to use anamorphic for widescreen SD DVD. My source footage is in a single field MJPEG A format rendered out from Final Fut Pro with a 4:3 aspect ratio letterboxed to 16:9.
    I made a test burn, just dropping it on the first play and setting the track to 16:9 letterbox, I set everything to 16:9. It played the right way on 2 different computers, letterboxing it on 4:3 monitors and playing full screen on the 16:9 monitor, but it didn't play back the right way on a portable Panasonic player with a 16:9 screen. It letterboxed it and even with the wide screen setting on the machine kept the letterbox, so it got squeezed.
    What I would like is to play back letterboxed on 4:3 systems including the menu, and to play full screen on 16:9 systems automatically. I don't want to make different versions of the menu for the different aspect ratios.
    How would I do this? Do I make my menus in 853X480 and import it to DSP. I'm making the menus in After Effects and Photoshop.
    please help.
    David

    Yes it is the continuation of the same project, but that post was already check as resolved, so I opened a new post.
    Yes there is a reason with working Motion JPEG, the film was deinterlaced with a special plugin and processed with other effects also, as a matter of fact the whole timeline is for some reason in Motion JPEG.
    What they are giving me is a 720X480 4:3 aspect ratio master in Motion JPEG A format, single field and letterboxed. They had to letterbox it to adjust the different shots to it. The source material for this project was a mess, all different cameras, some letterboxed, some not, some progressive some not... It's a real challenge to make them look somewhat similar. That is why was processed with many plugins. The whole thing is rendered out to one big file.
    I took this material to Compressor and tried to make a .m2v file, cropped out the letterbox, set the size to 720X480 anamorphic but for some reason it didn't stretch it for me but made a file with a 720X404 size.
    I'm using FCS 2, DVDSP 4.2.0, Compressor 3.0
    I really appreciate your help

  • **VGA DynaDock Question**

    I just installed a VGA Dynadock, and all of my peripherals are working fine. Whats wierd is when I click on "undock", I get the undock beep, but I no longer get the message "safe to undock". I do have the appropriate checkboxes in the dynadock settings to display the message, but it does not visually tell me its safe anymore. Any ideas?

    It's nothing more than a ferrite bead encased in plastic around the cable end. Google Ferrite Bead and you'll see.
    It helps dissipate high frequency "noise". The Best Buy tech is an idiot, so what else is new....
    Has nothing absolutely to do with the problem though...

  • VGA adapter question

    I want to connect my ibook G4 to my Sony HD TV - I have the adapter that came with the ibook. But, it is so short - When I attach it to the back of my TV and the other end to my ibook - I'm on the back of the TV and can't see. If this is really stupid - I apologize. I just can't figure it out. Do I need another extender cable? thanks so much.

    You need a VGA extender cable, you can buy them at most computer stores. I know the radioshack near me sells them. Just ask them for a VGA extender.

Maybe you are looking for
