Video Out, is it possible?

i'd like to hook up my TouchSmart 600 to a digital projector (for large movie showings). Is there a video out option or connector on the TouchSmart? any suggestions?
thanks,
Idan

Generally speaking the 600xt series doesn't have any additional video outputs. It's really designed for the user to take advantage of the 1080p screen it ships with.
For the 1350 specifically , this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02507381&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en... says under the I/O ports section that there aren't any video out ports.
I do have a second DVI monitor connected to my 600xt TouchSmart via a USB graphics adapter from IOGear. However, because it's connected via USB, it won't work well for video but is great for browsing, twitter, and the like.

HD video out from Logic - possible?

I have been trying to find if there is a way to get HD video out to an external monitor from Logic. Tried a Decklink "Intensity" card, wouldn't output HD. I called Aja and Decklink, neither company could tell me if it's possible with any of their products.
Another alternative would be to use a second video card and convert DVI to HDMI (I have two 30" monitors so am already using the two DVI outputs on the main video card), I want to output to a 47" TV monitor for client presentations. In the old days, it was always recommended not to use a second video card with music DAWs because of slowing down the PCI buss - is this still the case with the latest Mac Pro's?

The other thing we've done in the studio when working on films is to use two separate machines. One machine is running ProTools HD and it's the on that plays the video. Use MTC to lock the machines together, you hit play in Logic and hey presto, the ProTools locks to it and plays your video. No reason why you couldn't do this with two machines running Logic. The advantage with using ProTools (HD) is that you can have all of your reels in the one session, one after the other. Then (if your Logic work is properly organized and all of your cues have start points at the correct TC, then you don't even need to change ProTools sessions even once. You can switch between Logic projects (for each music cue) and the ProTools session will happily jump to the right part of the video at all times. This way you eliminate the question of trying to get the one machine to handle everything. Yes it's more of the old-school sync'd up video deck concept, but once you set it up, it's much faster and it works great. You can even route all of your physical outputs from Logic directly into the ProTools inputs and do one-pass (or almost one-pass) striping of all your Logic work to prepare your ProTools sessions for the orchestral sessions. We've done this for a couple of films and it was a very effective way of working.

Apple TV Video Out To Native Possible?

Is there a way to get the Apple TV to output native resolution instead of upscaling it to the resolution of the TV?
If you have a mixe of 480P and 1080P movies to stream but prefer that the outboard preamp do the video scaling
instead of the Apple TV is that possible?

Not sure what you mean by "not possible with any device"?
I have a lot of devices that will pass thru native resolutions to an external scaler.
The Apple TV does have an auto setting to detect the full resolution of the display device you are using via HDMI.
What I am asking has nothing to do with black borders, I am asking about resolution despite the aspect ratio of the original image. I do see a setting like I said that shows Auto or several other resolutions, what I was looking is simply a video pass thru so that an external scaler can handle it.

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Possible to charge iPod while using Video out option?

I've read that you can use video out while maintaining its charge by simply 'ejecting' the iPod from Windows (but maintaining the physical cable connection).
But what about using a generic wall charger? Such as this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009T81YE/qid=1146811575/sr=8-1/ref=pdbbs1/103-4014541-7815810?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=301185
Or even using apple's official wall charger? With one of these pieces of equipment is the iPod locked in "do not disconnect" mode? Or is it free to be used?
I hope someone can get back to me soon! Thanx
Windows XP Pro

using the wall charger does not put up the "do not disconnect" screen. thats only wen its connected to a computer. so yes u can keep ur ipod on charge while using the video out.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

MacBook Video Out problems.

Hey all.
Bit of an issue regarding my Macbook. It's a 2ghz Duo With ram upgraded to 4gb by myself. For some reason the video out on my Macbook has decided to stop working. Is it possible that it's hardware related? I have tried the following.
1: Bypassing my Onkyo TSR 609 amp straight to TV
2: Lowering resolutions (although 1080i and p was fine)
3: Bootcamping into windows to see if its an OSX issue. (my friends Samsung laptop works just fine through all the various combinations)
4: Punching it.
Im at a loss now, was working fine, got my new amp and was working fine through that for a week (havent changed any settings on it, and as I said same issues straight to TV which is a 42" Sharp XD1E) and the picture just comes out as multicoloured digital noise but you can just about make out whats on screen.Its a fairly weak connection on the MiniDVI port on laptop itself, It's connected via MiniDVI to DVI/HDMI dongle. I have also swapped out cables. It's not the amp as my PS3 blasts out 1080p with NO issues, please help!

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Video out to tv not working

Hello,
I just unpacked my new iPod classic and wanted to use the video out option to watch a movie from my new iPod on my TV. Somehow I can get the "TV Out" setting to say "ask" or "TV" like on my last iPod video 5.5. Does anybody know what is causing this problem or do I have to return the item? It´s a real bugger!
I also experienced the click wheel response is very, very slow!
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this...

From what I have read, no, what you wish to do will not work. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I hope that it's possible for Apple to rectify this problem with a firmware update. If that's not possible (e.g. it's a hardware-based problem), they should just issue a recall of all classics, fix the hardware, and rerelease it later after the problem has been corrected.
It is unimaginable to me that Apple could have intended to invalidate monumental quantities of third-party (and even their own!) accessories for those who bought the new classics and touches and nanos. I mean, these are some of Apple's best customers: those who have purchased multiple iPods and bought into the whole accessory market too. Most companies are hesitant to burn their best customers like this, and for good reason: this kind of stuff can easily turn loyal customers into former customers, and via word-of-mouth can also turn potential customers into non-customers.

Analog VIDEO OUT - has this been killed forever?

So, have we reached the end of the line for ANALOG VIDEO OUT on ALL devices?
Apparently, there is NO analog video out on iPod Touch 5th Gen, iPad 4th Gen, or iPhone 5th Gen - all devices with the ridiculously small 8-pin connector, which all run iOS6
Apple's sales site for the $30, 8-pin to 30-pin connector clearly says "Video not supported"
What?
So anyone with an expensive car video system, 30-pin composite video link, home AV receiver, etc. is out of luck?
Is this a sign that Apple has rolled-over to Hollywood in advance of an Apple TV system that only transmits HDCP-style-encrypted digital TV signals?
That would be bad
Anyone have the answer to this? I've read here that people with 4th Gen devices (iPad 3rd Gen) running iOS6 are also being denied video since the update from iOS5 to iOS6 (which some "believe" is a "software" error in the update).
Is that true as well?
Apple couldn't possibly be doing this on purpose to their, oh, I don't know, 100 million users of previous devices - could they?
Someone - please...reassure us there is a fix in the mix for this mess

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

The video out is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2

*APPLE please read this;*
The video out on the MacBook Pro is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2, or precisely is working with a possibility of 10%! Monitors doesn't find signal in, or when they find it, the image is unstable with green shadows.
_I tried 28 external monitor in a store and only ONE was working normally!_ I tried with all the cables combinations (DVI->DVI or DVI->ANALOG, with several different brand cables).
Before the 10.5 update, I didn't have any problem with external Monitor.
The point is that I have installed in the same computer (MAC BOOK PRO) also WINDOWS VISTA, and all the monitors that are not working with MAC OS are working perfectly under VISTA system.
I made a long research online and I found out that thousands of users have the same problem, but no one receive an answer from APPLE from several months!
This is not the only problem that I have under MAC OS 10.5, but them, are other topics.
_Please at least resolve this MAJOR problem that I and thousands of other users have with video out._
Thank you.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Video Out Features : Streaming Video

Asked this in my local Apple Store today - unfortunately they were no use ("we have no demo AV cables sir") so I thought I'd try on here.
I'm keen to understand what output I can see on the video out of my iTouch if I connect it to a monitor. I fully appreciate I will be ale to see both photos and videos stored on the iTouch. However, it's not clear to me whether it is possible to watch content streamed from the web (eg. youtube) via video out. Hopefully someone can help (my Apple Store rep could only guess "it might work", "but it's streaming so maybe not", "we can't demo it, sorry").
Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. This has helped me a lot. It's also meant my 'pet project' is now almost possible. I've wanted, for while to be able to access 'on demand' content via the web to my TV/monitor without having to have a computer/AppleTV/etc grinding away in the background. Seems my iTouch will allow this albeit with a limit to my screen size as the resolution will be limited. Soon the BBC iPlayer will stream TV shows to iTouch (fantastic!). My bet is the BBC already have the holy grail of the SDK and iPlayer will be one of the first apps out for a UK audience.

Video out to monitor acting goofey!

Hi
I have the Canopus ADVC-100. FW from MBP and FCE to the ADVC, composit to my TV monitor. Went to Video Out-Refresh Video devices, then checked the NTSC.
Yesterday it was working perfectly. Today the video shows on the monitor but when I hit the JKL keys, the video doesn't move. Just sits there until I hit the K (stop), then the picture jumps to where the timline playhead is.
A week ago it worked perfectly, then this freezing started again. 1 day good, 2 days later bad! I'm at my wit's end.
This really all started when I had my external LaCie HD in the FW800 port and the Monitor in the FW400 port. My eSATA cable and PciE card kept unplugging from the MBP so that's when I put the LaCie into the FW800 port.
Then I noticed that when 2 items were plugged into both of the FW (400/800) ports the FW 400 wouldn't work. Could it be a problem with the controller card in the laptop? That's when I put the LaCie back onto the eSATA, and that's when the monitor strted working right again. But now it's back to it's old tricks
I don't know what else to do and I need that monitor. I tested the Canopus box by plugging it back into my HP and running video out from Vegas. It works fine.
Anything else I can do here?
Allen

Hi Martin
Thank you very much. What good is it if you have a FW400 and FW800 and you can only use 1 at a time? That sort of negates even using a FW hub if there is such a thing. Or possibly daisy chaining HD's? Is the Mac Pro any different from the MBP? I have 2 FW HD's and need to transfer files between them. My LaCie and a small portable HD. How's that gonna happen if I can't use both FW ports? Yes, right now I got the LaCie on the eSATA port though but let's assume I need to use both the FW ports! My God! Even my PC's don't work this way. And I want to switch to all MAC's? Hmmmm.
Secondly, after I posted the original message, I happened to re-size my canvas window by making the browser and viewer smaller and as soon as I resized the window the darn thing started workiing! I don't believe this. I'm not shutting anything down tonight! H9nestly! I didn't do anything else except resizing the Canvas window!
As far as your instructions, I believe I mentioned above that the MBP does see the ADVC. There was a frozen still on the TV monitor. It just didn't move until I stopped the timline from playing. Then the TV picture jumped to where the playhead was. I wasn't getting video, just stills.
Now it's working so I'm wondering if there isn't something not right with my MBP? I have the extended Apple Care but I need to get this project done. Another bit of info is that the timeline contains 11 hours of video! But the LaCie on the eSATA seems to be keeping up. All the video files are on the LaCie scratch disk. In other words I can play the timeline just fine. Now we started creating separate sequences for different parts of the video for ease in editing the sections.
Well, tha's all the info I can give you. this is really wierd!

Powerbook 17" S-Video Out to TV monitor

Hey all,
If we go out of the S-Video out on a Powerbook 17" 1.5Ghz, and in to a television's Video In, is there a way to use the TV monitor for video only? Like how you can do that on a G5 tower, take the video out and make it extend your real estate.
I don't want the TV screen to be a copy of what's already on the Powerbook's screen. I want to see Logic in the Powerbook, and the quicktime movie from Logic on the TV screen. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance!
ETMi

I've done this with my powerbook, only I had the DVD player app on the TV, and was using the laptop LCD for other apps. It worked just fine. In fact I did it on two different TVs, once using s-video (w/optical sound out even) and once with DVI.
I can't speak to your specifc application (Logic) but I don't know why it wouldn't work the same way.

Video Out, is it possible?
