Video out not using full widescreen on a 23.5" monitor

I have an Asus 23.5" LCD which I use for TV and my Xbox. Both use the widescreen how it should. But when I plug my Macbook into it, I get 2" bars on the left and right. However, if I uncheck "mirror display," my desktop background fills the entire screen. I mean, the second desktop, or the extended desktop uses the full widescreen format.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
in 'Mirror Mode' both the internal and the external display use the same resolution, which with the MacBook is 1280 x 800.
Only in 'Extended Mode' the internal and the external can use different resolutions.
You might wanna check if the Asus LCD has an option to 'remove' the black borders, when using a resolution that is not the native (full) resolution of it.
If this is possible, you might experience however a less sharper image on the Asus since it is not using its native resolution.
Regards
Stefan

  • Premier CS 6 video out not clear

    Premier CS 6 video out not clear and video have some color patch (grey ) not satisfied quality.
    My System -
    Premier CS 6
    Mac 10.8 lion, quadcore 6GB ram
    Blackmajic Decklinkcard
    Please help how to broadcast quality out.
    thanks....................................................

    The links Harm provided influenced the original build, but on his advice, I re-read them and decided to alter it and bit.
    If I swap out the ASUS Rampage for the Deluxe model, replace the Velciraptor with a Seagate 2TB, and the water cooling with a COOLER MASTER, Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (rated Gold by hardwaresecrets), then I can upgrade to the larger COOLER MASTER, HAF 932 Advanced and keep the price about the same.
    Given my projected video editing demands, it doesn't seem like the ASUS Rampage MB offers much more than the ASUS Deluxe MB and the latter contains BT and wireless.
    Since I do not intend to OC, there doesn't seem to be a great need for liquid cooling, especially with the larger tower case. At any rate, it does feel better not put "liquid" and "computer" in the same sentence!
    The Corsair AX850 Gold power supply does indeed seem to be a better choice.
    There doesn't seem to a concensus in the all the discussions relating to using a SSD vs a hard drive for the boot disk. However, since boot speed is not an issue for me I don't need an SSD and the Velociraptor seems to a unnessary expense. While I don't need 2TB for the boot drive, they are not much more than the 1TB.
    The only question remaining is filtering the air. This machine will be in a dusty (but not dirty) environment. I read Harm's thoughts on air filtering provide in his link, but don't want to go the custom route. These aftermarket filters look nice http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11729/ffi-57/DEMCiflex_Cooler_Master_HAF_932_Magnetic_Du st_Fan_Filter_Set_-_4_Piece.html, but for the cost, I'd rather put another $50-60 into the case and get one with good filtering.
    Does anyone have experience with a stock Full Tower with complete built-in filters they have actually used in a dusty environment they would be willing to share?

  • Audio out of sync with presentation (not using full motion)

    When I preview or publish a project using Captivate 5, the audio is out of sync with the presentation. I am not using any full motion recording, which I know has caused audio/video sync issues in previous versions of Captivate. The audio is slide specific, with a separate audio file for each slide. (In other words, I'm not trying to break a large audio file over many slides.) When each slide is viewed individually -- in the workstation, in the preview window, or in the published version -- the audio is synced just fine. The problem arises only when I try to watch the entire presentation (approx. 10 minutes in length). The audio gradually lags behind the visual.  By about half way through the project, the visual presentation is noticably ahead of the audio. By the end, the audio is nearly 4 seconds behind the video. I cannot detect a noticeable change in pitch or speed of the audio, so if the audio is being altered in any way, the alteration is slight.
    However, if I use the playback controls to advance to a single slide, the audio is fine for that slide and those immediately after, although it does gradually get off again as the project progresses. (So, for example, if I start the playback in the middle of the project, the audio will only be off by about 2 seconds by the end, rather than 4.)
    I have tried various publishing options (although I don't think publishing is the problem, since this happens when I preview the project as well). I have used 2 different computers and also tried viewing the published version locally and streaming. None of these alterations seem to make a difference. By the end of the presentation, regardless of how the project is published or viewed, the audio is several seconds behind the video.
    My specs:
    Captivate 5
    Microsoft XP OS
    2 GB RAM
    Publishing to .swf
    Suggestions?

    Hi Mukul,
    Thank you very much for your careful responses. Here are the answers to the questions.
    First of all, the "slow video" behavior does appear only after adding the slides mentioned in previous post.
    1.    I created a “software simulation” project. It IS a capture+audio recording.
    2.    Since I recorded the audio while doing screen capture, almost every slide has audio, which is not convenient to edit at all. Is there any other better way that I missed so that we can keep the audio and video at the same step while editing them? As I know so far, either insert silence or delete a little audio to one slide, the audio becomes short, but the slide duration time is still the same as before unless we change that manually which normally is not precise enough to match the audio.
    3.    I tried to add the blank slides at where there is a pause of speaking and where they are close to the problem slides. Otherwise, the speaking would sound weird.
    4.    Published SWF file size is 20.6 MB.
    5.    I do have two externalized video files for title and end.
    6.    Unfortunately, it is still slow even if it played on a different system.
    And another problem comes up these days. After publication, the screen resolution is not good (like some grey ink left on screen) wherever click or type something. It did not happen before even if worked on the same computer.
    I am very sorry that there are so many problems. I have been working on this for long time. The project totally drove me nuts. Hopefully you have more ideas about that.
    I really appreciate your help.
    Sincerely,
    Linda

  • Video out not working properly

    i recently bought the Gigaware Composite A/V Cable for my 3rd Gen iPod touch at Radio Shack. It works beautifully with youtube and both iTunes videos as well as ones i uploaded myself. i get full video and sound with these. But when i try to play music there is no sound, when i try to view pictures they do not come up and when i try to use the netflix app there is no sound. I know my version of iPod is not yet compatible with video out for the netflix app, but others are saying they get sound, i get nothing. is there a setting that i need to correct or some other way to fix this? I also have a 1st generation iPod touch, and i have the same issue with this one as well. Please help.

    The video only works with specific application. I would not expect music to one of those since there is no video in music. I know on the iPad photos do not display on video out (slide shows do). The same may apply for the iPod. I can't answer about the NetFlix no sound.
    An Apple Support page says the following so there may be difference in different manufacture's cables.
    Note: If you choose to use a third-party cable, make sure it has the "Works with iPhone" or "Made for iPod" label. Learn more about iPod and iPhone accessories.

  • Viewsonic 2431wm does not use full width in 1920x1080 mode

    HI Folks,
    I've recently replaced a failed Viewsonic 2433wm monitor with a 2431wm.  My Mac Pro 5,1 has the 1GB Radeon HD5770 video HBA and is a 2 monitor configuration.  The previous pair of 2433wm's functioned wonderfully at the 1920x1080@60Hz settings.
    However, with the new 2431wm attached, the displayed image does not use the full width of the screen.  I've tried manually adjusting the horizontal settings and using the monitor's Auto Image Adjust with no change.  I've also installed the latest drivers from the Viewsonic site.
    For grins, I borrowed a colleague's 2433wm and it immediately worked as expected with no changes on the monitor or my Mac Pro.  Also, setting the 2431wm's resolution to 1680x1024 uses the entire screen width.
    Does anyone have tips about the 2431wm or manual OS X settings that could resolve this?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    When using a CRT, the phosphor is painted on the display much more widely. The maximum resolutions used are always far less than the maximum the display could produce IF we were to tune it to absolutely perfectly hit every Phosphor dot. But if you did this, you would have to adjust your display ever time a new picture went up on it.
    An LCD display does not wave an electron gun around and light up some phosphor dots. The dots are addressed directly. Optimum resolution is EXACTLY every dot that the manufacturer placed on the glass -- no more, no less.
    If you chose any resolution other than the optimum resolution, the display may try to approximate what you asked for and fill the display -- or may not. If it does fill the screen, it will be a poor imitation of the best picture you can possibly get from the display.
    My recommendation: Find out what is the optimum or recommended resolution is for your specific display, set your display to that resolution, and do not change it.

  • Digital video out not working

    For some reason on my 2011 Mac Book Pro the digital video out does not work?  It works just fine using the minii adapter for analog video out, but not for digital?
    Any advice much appreciated!
    Thx
    Mark

    It is working exactly as it is supposed to. You didn't read the description properly before buying.
    Video mirroring is available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4.
    Video out needs to be supported by the app you are using.

  • Iphone Videos & Video Out not working

    Hi All,
    I have several TV programmes on my iphone, and yet when i plug the iphone into my TV using the apple composite AV cable, and tell the iphone to display on screen nothing happens, no sound or picture at all.
    I have just moved to Chicago from London so the video setting in the Iphone is PAL, could that be what is affecting it, should I change this setting ? The TV in the apartment is quite old fashioned and a brand name I don't recognise (Insignia CRT) so not sure whether it is the TV, but it has the right inputs.
    Any ideas much appreciated
    Thanks

    Dr. L,
    The previous iPod's did not support component video out for newer televisions that support it. The box for the older Video out cables do not say they support the iPhone.
    The current video out cables are available in either component or composite video out. They also say they support the iPhone on the box.
    In addition when shopping the Apple Store online for iPod or iPhone accessories there is a compatibility guide which shows icons of the iPod models or iPhone that are supported.
    Overall my personal experience is that this, and other Apple specific ones, are much smaller compatibility, and downtime driver for IT than many of them I have run across supporting a variety of computer and networking platforms over the last 23 years.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Video out, NOT.

    We just got a KDL 40w600b 40 inch and are disappointed to find that it has no way to get video out to another room so that the better half can watch from the kitchen and not miss or have to pause the content.Does Sony make anything that we can buy that will allow this? Do we have to go back to other steraming devicesand just let this "smart" TV  be a dumb monitor? 

    Hi JADUGGER,
    On your concern, you're using 2 TVs. One of them is Sony. How about the other one? Is it a Sony TV? If so, can you provide the complete model number so we can provide a work around if in case. 
    Thanks.

  • Axi 4 to video out not locking

    Hi,
    I am using the Axi 4 stream to video out and I am not able to get it to lock .I am using the IP in slave mode and  have connected the VTG_CE to gen_clken of VTC.
    I am running both the axi clock and video clock at 60  MHZ.
    There is not VDMA in my design .Its just streaming data from a camera and doing some data width conversion and feeding to to AXI4 to video out.
    I have attached the main part of my block design . I have also attached wave forms.
    Please help me on this . I am really stuck

    Hello,
    There are a few things that I'd constitute as a little 'strange' meaning not the usual use case.
    1) What exactly is the data width converter doing? Why are there so many tuser bits? Tvalid/tlast coming out of it look good, but what about tuser? It's not doing anything funny, is it?
    2) Your frame size (active) is really 120x768 pixels? Are you doing some sort of cropping? Can you put your camera in a more standard mode first to make sure everything else is correct?

  • MacBook video out not working

    Hi there
    I bought the mini-dvi to s-video/composite output to connect my MacBook up to a TV while away from home (to watch TV and movies) but it doesn't work. First I suspected the old TV, but works OK with the Wii connected. Then I thought it was the cable, but I tried a new cable and the sound works fine, so that's not it. Then I suspected the adapter, but when I got home I connected it to my wife's MacBook and it worked fine.
    So, looks like I have dodgy graphics card hardware?
    The MacBook detects that the adapter is connected, so some of the pins are working OK. I just can't get a signal from my MacBook to the TV and the auto detect does not work.
    Anyone got any ideas? The computer is no longer under warranty and I don't have time to take it to the dealer (it takes them three weeks to turn around a fault!) so I'm guessing that I'll have to open up the device myself and check for some bad connections?
    Any advice is appreciated!
    Regards... Jonny.

    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?

  • Report output not using full page.

    I have a report that does not use the full screen to display.  The output display on about a 1.5 to 2 inch section of the page and the rest is white space.  How do I get it to use the full page?

    Hi Raymist123,
    If I understand correctly, the issue which you occurred is that the report content only displayed about 1.5 to 2 inch. As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by the report content including all the report items (table, matrix, list, chart,
    gauge, text boxes etc.) is only occupied 1.5 to 2 inch on the report design surface. If in this case, we can try to expand the sizes of all the report items to fix the issue. And please make sure that the PageSize of the report have set to 8.5 x 11.
    If this issue is still existed, could you please post the screenshot about the design surface and the all the size properties? Then we can make further analysis.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone for VGA Video Out not working

  • Video Out not working on Ipod Classic 80gb

    I can't get video out to work on anything. I have a relatively new Onkyo home theater with an iPod dock that has video out cables, and I can't get a picture to show up on the TV. Also, my gym has StarTrac cardio equipment which has video connectivity through a built-in iPod dock. Video is supposed to show up on the TV monitor attached to the cardio machines, but all I get is "no signal".
    Since I can't get either of them to work, is something wrong with my iPod?
    Thanks!

    When you want to show the video on your TV, have you selected TV out in the video settings options?
    If that's not the problem, check this page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 to ensure you have the correct cable for your iPod, although you need to ensure you have identified your iPod model correctly. Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 if you're not sure because there is a crucial difference between the Classic and the 5th generation video models. (On the *iPod and iPhone: TV out support* page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 - look at the third table down, headed *Apple Component AV Cable with iPod Universal Dock or Apple Universal Dock* .) Notice that the Apple Universal Dock and Component cable combination works for an iPod Classic, but not for the 5th gen iPod. My point being; if the STarTrac device you mention has a built-in dock, perhaps it's designed for the iPod Classic, but if you have the 5th gen, it won't work.
    ... and no, I don't know why one dock is called the Apple Universal Dock, while the other is called iPod Universal Dock! Such a similar naming convention only leads to confusion. I know, I had to examine each box in my local store to find the iPod dock among all the Apple docks they had since they thought both docks were identical.

  • Shared photo streams not using full resolution

    I was very excited about this feature but after testing it I realised it's not using the full res pictures on the shared photostream. Which for me is kind of a silly.
    Am I doing something wrong or is that how it's working?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Larry,
    Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd...  I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums.  Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both.  The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other!  I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account.  Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine.  Any thoughts??  Thanks!
    Hardware/Software Specs:
    MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
    Aperture 3.5.1
    iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
    Note:  I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that.  Figured it's worth a shot!!

  • Time Capsule Not Using Full Capacity

    Good morning. I have a 1tb Time Capsule and use Time Machine to backup my iMac and my son's MBP.
    The Time Machine backup is reporting that 235gb of 998gb is available. But it's been "stuck" at about 235gb for weeks. It seems as if the system is not using all available capacity. Is this normal?
    I should note that at one time I had miscellaneous folders and files on the Time Capsule (from a PC). Would those miscellaneous files have somehow "blocked" access to the rest of the free space? I have removed those misc files, but still not seeing the system use my full drive capacity.
    Any ideas how to get the system to use the rest of the drive?
    Thanks in advance, John

    The Time Capsule is reporting on the space that backups are using on the drive. Backups are stored in a special container called a sparsebundle file.
    Sparsebundles behave differently than normal files. The sparsefundle expands as more data is added.But, it behaves differently when files are deleted.
    So, lets say that the sparsebundle is up to 100 GB.  Now, you delete 10 GB from your backups beasue you don't need the files any longer. So, you think you should see 90 GB now.
    The sparsebundlw will still show as a 100 GB. It will begin to "grow" again when more than 100 GB is present.
