VIDEO/SCREEN CARD FOR XSERVER G5

Does anyone please know what Video card I can install into an XServer to connect a monitor and where I might be able to buy one in the UK?
I have tried a few but none seem to work!
Thanks

Old Mac PCI video cards. All the way.
We have three XServe G5s at my office. We got none of them with the built-in video because I don't need to spend 100 bucks on a new card with all sorts of extra VRAM when I can get a used card for less than $20. All I need is basic video.
I went down to my local used mac store and bought 3 video cards for $15 a piece. These cards were formerly in Macs like the Blue and White G3 tower and the G4 towers (before they went AGP).
Just make sure you get cards that are 3.3V or universa PCIl. The 5V PCI cards from the pre-G3 days are not compatible with the XServe. AGP cards are not compatible either.

  • Video Capture Card for Adobe Connect

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a video capture card for the Mac to use with Adobe Connect? I have a HD camera that I want to connect to my Mac through the S video connection on the camera. I need a video capture card that will work with Adobe Connect.

    The Video Telephony Pod is the video pod when Video Telephony Conferencing equipment/cameras are configured to talk with Adobe Connect. This was introduced in Connect 8.1 for SIP and H.264  based VTC systems. It will only work with H.264 video streams from the VTC type cameras found in conference rooms. Usually the major players in the U.S. are Polycom and Tandberg.
    The VTC Pod appears as a standard pod once the administrator of an Adobe Connect on-premise server has configured the various admin screens and added the SIP addesees to the configuration xml file.
    The video quality is different than the webcam video as here is a table:
    Tandberg 990:
    Profile Level At FMG End
    Video Out At Device
    High
    1200.0kbps  448p
    Medium
    600.0 kbps   448p
    Low
    250kbps       CIF
    Tandberg Edge 95 MXP:
    Profile Level At FMG End
    Video Out At Device
    High
    1700 kbps w720p
    Medium
    600kbps    w448p
    Low
    250kbps    w288p
    More information on formats:
    768 x 448@30fps (w448p)
    576 x 448@30fps (448p)
    512 x 288@30fps (w288p)
    352 x 288@30fps (CIF)
    176 x 144@30fps (QCIF)
    So, that HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW refer to the Adobe Connect room preference setting for video. Notice that HIGH shows we can deliver 720p resolution.
    The normal webcam video pod is locked to 480p (VGA) 4x3 resolution at 20 frames per second but the server admin on an on-premise install  can alter a configuration xml file to go 24 fps but not higher than VGA on the webcam pod.
    Probably more than you ever imagined I would share but that's my style.
    Take care.

  • "fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

    ....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
    acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

    Your question doesn't make much sense.
    What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
    Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
    Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

  • Video capture card for dul 1.4

    Anyone know of a reasonably priced video capture card for archiving old video tapes?
    g4 dual 1400   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    If you use iMovie, FCE, FCP, BTV or Live Capture and an analog-to-digital converter you can capture via Firewire; the converter will do the job of the capture card. One of the more popular models is the Canopus AVDC-110.

  • Power Mac Video Capture card for G5 Quad

    Can anyone direct me to where I can get a video capture card for my Power Mac G5 Quad.
    I would like to directly connect my DVD player to my G5.
    Can I do this and what do I need and where can I get it. Thank you for your guidance!

    Canto makes a nice firewire video digitizer for under $ 200 that will handle full (non-HD) resolution video. If you already have a mini-dv camera or can find a used one cheap (maybe one where the tape transport is bad) you can connect the camera to your G5 via Firewire, and then use the camera's auxiliary video and audio inputs to connect the source you want to digitize.

  • Graphics Card for Xserv G5

    Please help!
    Apple can't.....
    We have a G5 Xserv, that we desparately need a Graphics Card for. Apple say they can't supply it (their most useful suggestion was to buy one of the new core-duo machines as they ship with a graphics card as standard!).
    Xserv G5
    2GHz PowerPC G5
    2GB DDR400 ECC SDRAM - 2x1GB
    1000GB ADM (2x500GB Serial ATA)
    I believe we need a PCI-X card?
    Any ideas where I can get one or what the alternatives are? It can be a very basic card - nothing hardcore required in terms of graphics performance. If it could only draw the desktop in black and white, it would do!
    Thoughts?
    Xserv G5/2Ghz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The Radeon 7000 PCI card is based on the same GPU that Apple once shipped as the BTO Xserve video option - ATI RV100 - so it is worth a try.
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Servers/XserveG5/2Architecture/chapter_3_section7.html
    Any basic ATI should be supported by the OS because ATI was Apple's default video provider for much of this time period.
    Note that using a PCI video card will limit the speed of any PCI-X cards you also have installed, but that shouldn't effect your actual performance probably.

  • Best Video Output Card for AE

    So I've finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a plasma screen and video card so that clients can have a large screen on which to monitor the effects.  I'm planning to mount it over the workstation and feed it an output from...and this is where my understanding breaks down.  Should I just send it the comp window?  Will I have to render in order to have any output?   Should I send it the entirety of one of my monitors?
    And most importantly, what kind of card plays nicely with AE and will feed the TV the appropriate output?  I'm assuming these should be connected through HDMI?
    My current equipment is a Mac Pro and 2 Apple Cinema Displays.  Thanks in advance for your help!   Also, I'm sure many of you out there have created similar setups for client viewing.  Let me know about your experience!

  • Model hp a622n desktop ... upgrade video graphics card for Windows 7

    I have a hp a622n desktop that has a Micro Star International motherboard. 
    The Serial Number of the motherboard is 4311483428 ... bus clock 100 mghz ... Bios Award Software 3 26 05/09/2005
    My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster  s/n GS19H9NX601526

    It came with Windows Xp and I have done a clean install of Windows 7
    I am able to use the monitor but ... when trying to activate the screen saver or putting it into the sleep mode ... I get a message that I need a video graphics card that supports 3D ...
    Through my research I have found that a Radeon X1300 card ... #400558-001that is supposed to solve this problem ... 
    I was told that I need a PCI card ... 
    I have located this board at VisionTek ... their customer service told me to make sure that the motherboard will work with this ...
    Will this board work ?  and are there other boards out there that would also work ?
    Thanks ...
    This question was solved.

    Lets start out with that is an antique system with limited options because it only has PCI slots and no normal video card.  The card you are asking about does have "High Definition 3D Performance & Image Quality to Your PC"  If you are considering getting one, try the EBay market as this is really old hardware and you can get one for near nothing.  For Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visiontek-Radeon-X1300-Graphics-Card-256MB-128bit-900106-/191175474229
    Just make sure the one ordered is the PCI version.
    There are other possible choices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187213

  • Video capture card for Arch Linux

    Hi all,
               I'm wanting to do some home video stuff with cinerella etc. But i am not sure what video capture cards are going to work at the right resolutions and fps etc.
    I want to record from a video input not tv tuner and i want to be able to to get a tv / film quality.
    I am not worried about outputting video as my GFX card can do that and also i will burn to dvd.
    Have any of you guys got any suggestions for me please , of makes / models that will work fine with the great ARCH ?
    Cheers

    I bought the cheapest Hauppauge 150 card I could find, and it's worked well with every linux box I've stuck it in, Arch included.  Most Hauppauge cards have a combo of inputs, including rca, svideo, and coax.  I'm not sure what you mean by
    I want to record from a video input not tv tuner and i want to be able to to get a tv / film quality.
    but you should be able to record anything you can send through the card.  If you mean you want hdtv quality, then I'm no help - I looked at those options, but decided that 720x480 was going to be fine for 99% of my use.  There is a ton of info at the myth site and the ivtv site, as well as the knoppmyth site.

  • Video capture card for 64 bit operating systems

    We capture video that comes in analogue from a satellite feed.  It comes in 24 hours per day.  I have taken that and fed into a pci Green Valley Canopus capture card ACEDVio, (RCA fittings), and then I capture using Scenalyer.  I have done this for three years, with great success. Since I am now using Windows 7, I have discovered that The Green Valley card does NOT work with 64 bit.  I contacted Gree Valley and they admit that it will not work.  The EXTERNAL Canopus 110 does work, but it is not reliable for 24/7 use, because sometimes it will shut down.  I need an internal card that will stay on all of the time.  Can anyone help with this?

    John,
    Thank you for taking the time to offer a responce. As to the "dual boot" suggestion: I do not know how to do that, although I could research just how to do it.  My conserns are: XP is being completely abandoned by Microsoft.  I am challenged every time that I have to do a re-install using XP, (I manage 26 computers for a company). For about a year now, it has been more and more time consumng, because Microsoft seems to be making it that way.  I am guessing that the "XP" part would be for running 32 bit and the Win 7 part would be for the 64 bit, is that true?  More on the subject would be good.  Where to find inforation as to using that option.
    It would be great if there was a video capture card that would work with Premiere and the  Win 7 64 bit operating system. There must be someone that makes one.  A guy at Tigert Direct suggested a Haupauge WinTV-HVR1250.  I am going to have to call Haupauge to confirm.  The biggest thing is ALWAYS that it will work with Premiere, and our Scenalyzer program

  • PC VIdeo Screen Capture for Editing in FCP?

    Hello,
    I was asked to video screen capture a program on a pc laptop for a tutorial, and to mix it in with my footage that was shot 1440-1080, 30f with my Canon XHA1. Does anyone know the best program I can use to video screen capture the pc, that is professional, and not expensive? Or any methods of preparing it for FCP?
    Any help would be great!

  • PCI Video Capture Cards for PowerPC?

    Hi, I have a few PowerPC macs and I want to record some videogame game play via svideo (composite if svideo isn't an option) on them via a PCI capture card. Can anyone give me a few recommendations for cards to purchase? I do not want a USB or Firewire capture device, and it needs to be real time because I would be playing it through my monitor as it records. Preferably OS9 AND OSX compatible, though either or is perfectly fine. I don't care what format it records in or the compression, as I can deal with that later. Thanks.

    Be careful to get a money back guarantee on any Avid Video capture cards.  I assisted a wedding videographer who spent seventeen thousand dollars on an elaborate capture and editing system based on NuBus cards for 8100 PPCs and the company never got it to work properly without constant crashing.  I am sure that Avid has gone on to produce some quality equipment based on lessons learned in the 1990s but that 8100 generation of cards was worthless.
    I am interested in doing the same thing you are looking for so I will post back with what I find.  Just avoid being the guinea pig for some company who does not have the details worked out.

  • Wanted: Apple Hardware RAID Card for Xserve G5

    I have some questions regarding the original internal Apple Hardware RAID Card for an Xserve G5.
    1) Does it support native hardware RAID level 5?
    2) Does anyone know where I can find one of these cards? I can't even find them on eBay.
    3) I heard this card is based on an LSI board. Which model? Has anyone had success using the non-Apple version of the same model board in an Xserve G5 with internal Apple Drive Modules?
    4) How do you hook up this card? Do I put it in the PCI slot and move the SATA cables to it or does the presence of the card just automagically take over the drives?
    Thanks for all your help!

    I heard this card is based on an LSI board. Which model?
    Camelot is correct that this card is based on (is) the LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-4 card:
    http://www.lsi.com/storagehome/products_home/internal_raid/megaraid_sata/megaraid_sata1504/index.html
    However, it has custom Apple Firmware to support booting by a PPC Xserve G5 rather than a PC. Apple also provides a ported version of the LSI Logic "megaraid" program to manage the card.
    There is a bug (well, at least one) in the Apple Firmware version that was fixed by LSI Logic in its PC version subsequent to Apple's branch off of the LSI Logic code tree for the firmware. Specifically, the card sometimes doesn't fully flush its write caches before it disconnects from the drive buses on graceful power down (doesn't happen on restart). Only known workaround is to turn off the write caches for all LUNs. I turned in a RADAR report (RADAR ID 4350243) under our support agreement back in November 2005, but no action since. I follow up every so often, but clearly this EOL product is not a priority.
    Has anyone had success using the non-Apple version of the same model board in an Xserve G5 with internal Apple Drive Modules?
    Won't work without the Apple firmware. Apple doesn't distribute the firmware. Been there, done that. Our Apple Hardware RAID card failed in an odd way shortly after installation - it still functioned as a RAID controller once booted from another drive, but you couldn't boot from it. believe that the firmware became corrupted, and that it could have been fixed by flashing the firmware using the "megaraid" program, but Apple Support didn't have a file to flash it with, so it was handled by an RMA exchange.
    RAID 5 performance is degraded with the write caches off, but our load is not heavy. I guess you could script the turning off and flushing of the write caches prior to shutdown, and turn them back on again during the boot sequence, but you'd really have to be careful to handle things like restart to CD boot, etc. We value our data more than speed.
    This was a very difficult bug to troubleshoot, because the RAID 5 made the mystery garbage blocks from space very hard to find repeatably. Finally came up with a repeatable test case. Fortunately, discovered while testing the Xserve prior to deployment, so no valuable data was lost.
