What kind of DVI cable do I need?

Hi. I want to run video from my PB12 to my plasma TV (I know I need a separate audio cable).
I have the mini DVI to DVI adapter that came with the PB. My question is really, how many pins must the HDMI - DVI cable have? I see so many available with 18 (+1), but my adapter is 24 (+1).
Do I NEED a 24 pin, or can I use the much easier to find 18 pin?
thanks!

I use the adaptor to transfer the signal to a VGA format and simply bought a VGA cable from monoprice.com. Very good deals on all kinds of cables.
I recently ordered a VGA cable for a friend and they sent me a DVI to HDMI cable by mistake. I bet that would work fine too. It would seem to me that DVI is DVI, and there aren't any optional connectors that will work without all the possible pins in place.....in other words, I don't know for sure about the pin thing...I'd just get a DVI to HDMI, at the length you need, and see if it works.

What kind of DVI Cables does the Mini Take?

I want to get a DVI cable for my iLo 15in LCD but I'me confussed with the type get. I know that The Mini and my monitor are DVI male but at the mini's output after the grid of pin inlets theres a horizontal and vertical inlet that makes a plus sign look along with one inlet in each space. The DVI to VGA Adapter on the DVI ( female ) side has same plus sign pins but in the large grid of pins, there a gap in the middle. The mini doesn't have that gap on the output.
On the LCD's DVI input, it has that entire grid of pin inlets ( holes ) with no gap but next to the grid there is only one horizontal inlet. It does'nt have that plus sign look like the mini's output. Nor does it have those four inlets on each side of the cross. It's just has a horizontal inlet.
I'm not familiar with DVI so I'm confused. Some cables on the market hace that cross and the gap in the middle of the pins, some only have the horizontal pin and the grid of pins with no gap. ( Help )!!!!!!!!!

I'm not completely following you, mostly cause my math sklls bl0w.
But I think you're making a distinction, perhaps without knowing it, between a DVI and an ADC connnector.
Digital Video Input is the first connector you refer to, I believe.
Twenty four pins in a 3 x 8 config and the section for video color you refer to as the plus sign. This is technically 5 pin.
The other connector sounds like an Apple Disply Connector (or ADC). These are 30-pin in a 3 x 10 config plus the video color 5-pin.
You can get picture perfect clear on this here

What kind of DVI?

I have a PowerMac G5 with the Radeon 9600 Pro. The video card has one DVI output but I'm not sure what KIND of DVI it is? My monitor has a DVI-D input and the DVI cable that came with the computer doesn't fit in this input so I can only assume the 9600 Pro has either a DVI-I or DVI-A but all I can find is that it's a dual-link DVI. Anyone know which one?

So what kind of cable came with the computer
originally if it won't connect to the monitor? A
DVI-I cable? If so, what is the difference between
the DVI-I cable and the DVI-D cable?
Are you sure the cable came with the computer? All Apple displays come with their own cables, so I didn't think Apple would provide a cable with the computer. Here are pictures of the different types of DVI connectors.
<http://www.interfacebus.com/DesignConnector_Digital_Visual_Interface_DVIBus.html> You can't always tell the type of DVI just by looking at the connector, though. Often the connector will have pins that are not connected. For example, a single-link DVI graphics board may include the pins used for double-link DVI. This would allow the use of a dual-link DVI cable to connect a single-link display (assuming the display allow the use of the connector.

What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?

I have zero knowledge of programming. I have done programming about 7 years ago and it was extremely basic stuff and mostly to do with C. I have learnt BASIC language (wonder if its even worth mentioning) in school!! But, I really want to program. Even if it takes a long time. How do I get started??

Your question "What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?" does not have a single answer. Thanks to the internet, nowadays its possible to start from zero. You can find an answer for even the most basic question on the internet. It just a question of time and effort. If you have
the time
no pressing deadline and a
high frustration tolerance
just go ahead and do it.

What kind of view object would I need to create to achieve this ADF form?

I have an entity that has several dates. The dates are stored in a table separate from the entity, each entity date has a date type (open, close, interview, etc) associated with it. The DBAs idea (who else of course!) was to have the flexibility to add new types of dates for entities when needed.
So you have tables like this -
Table: EntityTable
Columns: EntityId, EntityName
Table: DatesTable
Columns: EntityId, Date, DateTypeCd
I need to display an editable ADF form where I can update the entity and the entity dates
The ADF form would contain something like this
Entity Name: []
Opening Date: []
Closing Date: []
Interview Date: []
What kind of view object would I need to create to achieve this?

That would be a master-detail relation 1-* between 'entity' and 'entity dates'. If your dba has set up the foreign key association in the db and you use the wizard to create the business objects, jdev pick up the relation and create the correct master detail relation in the vo layer for you.
By the way naming a table 'entity' is not a good idea when working with ADFbc. We all talk about entities when we relate to a business object (in this case a row of a table or entity object or EO). So it's hard to distinguish the two, your specific table 'entiyt' and the common term entity or EO which can be a row of any table.

What kind of graphic card do I need for second screen?

I have a Mac Pro with GTX 680 card that outputs to a 27" Cinema Display and 42" TV. The TV screen is a few frames of, so I understand I need a separate videocard for the TV so I can adjust this with frame offset in FCP.
What kind of card is suitable for this? There is 30m distance from Mac to TV, is this too long for HDMI cable?

I don't know. My experience with Aja IO card is that's it's more complicated configuring it (at least with fcp7). I have a friend with a macpro and every time we need to use it, it requires playing around with control panel and the view settings within fcp. Maybe operator error. The BlackMagic just usually works although I found with Avid Media Composer 7, if you tried to load material that didn't match the project settings, you could not get the project to every play out through the intensity. You'd have to create a new project and open your existing bins in the new project. Took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Aja's support is supposedly much better, but I did get answers via email from blackmagic with the avid issue. Took a few days, but they did come thru.

What kind of video camera do I need to be able to import to

I do not know what kind of video camera I need to have to import to iPhoto. My parents have a VHS camcorder. Can I use that one? Do i need to have a digital camcorder?

Hi Katrina,
welcome to thsi forum
to throw in some cents...:
* mini-dv, nothing else
* with the "big" brands (Sony, Canon, ...) you stay save
* go to a shop and make some "hands on experience"... Panasonic for example is VERY small for some hands...
* ask for a firewire-cable, 4/6pin to connect camera with your Mac (no, usb DOESN'T work)
* that camera doesn't need any effects...- you will add this in iMovie..., so a very basic one is good enough
* get a second battery and a tripod ;-))
* follow any other advice given you here in this forum
and, besides, no, vhs camcorder don't work with iM....

What kind of firewire cable from 400 to 800?

Hello,
I have recently purchased an iMac Intel Duo. I want to use the Migration Assistant to move my environment on my PowerBook to my new iMac. Migration Assistant tells me that I need to connect the two computers using a firewire cable. The PowerBook has a firewire 800 port. The iMac has a firewire 400 port. What kind of cable do I need to purchase to make this connection work?
Oh BTW, what gives with the far newer iMac having older technology firewire port?
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi all,
Sorry for the delay. I did see the rapid-fire responses and I'm truly astonished with this forum. Thanks!
However, I must admit that I don't understand any of the answers. To Eric: Yes, I will only need to do this once, but what alternative do I have? Will Migration Assistant work over ethernet? I did not see an option for this. That would be my preference as I already have both machines on my LAN.
As to the question of whether my PowerBook has FW400: The System Profiler for Firewire only says "Maximum Speed: Up to 800 MB/sec". So I have no idea if the interface supports FW400. Isn't the physical interface (or jack) different for FW400 versus FW800? Isn't one 6-pin and the other 9-pin? If so, then I would assume that you would need a 9-pin cable jack to attach to an FW800 port, no?
Eric, you also said "so use that with the cable that you likely have for your external peripherals anyway." But what I have discovered is that the cable I have has two different jacks on each end: one connects to the Mac and the other connects to the peripheral. The peripheral jack will not plug into the iMac (nor to the PowerBook). In other words, I need a cable that has two jacks that connect to the computer side. Does anyone know the product number for that type of cable?
Thanks,
Bryan

Which kind of DVI cable to use with a KVM switch?

Hi. I have a Power Macintosh G5 and three (3) Mac Minis. I also have a Apple Cinema Display (DVI). I recently purchased a Avocent 4 Port DVI/USB KVM switch. I just got it today. It looks like a nice switch. However, it did not come with any cables. So, I need to buy some USB cables and some DVI cables. Should I buy DVI-A, DVI-D, or "dual" DVI cables?
Thanks in advance for help.

Unless you have a 30" ACD, which requires dual-link DVI, you want to buy DVI-D cables.

What Kind of Xserve Setup Do I need (if any)?

Hello All,
I am running a small film production studio and I have a client that will be having me log and edit in Final Cut Pro over 600+ hours of HD video from miniDV tapes for an upcoming production. I know that I could use several 1TB external drives for this, but that may not be the best idea for reliability of the data and speed. The other obstacle besides the shear size of the data is having it backed up all the time. I have been looking into setting up a single Xserve or Xserve RAID to help with this problem.
The other obstacle is that I will be editing this film from my house and taking my edits to and from LA for review with my client about every 3-4 weeks. I must be able to have access to the footage from pretty much anywhere.
If anyone can offer some advice as how I can best create a setup with an Xserve system or any other sort of system, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You
Brian

600 hours of miniDV will be about 7.5TB of storage, plus additional space for edits, revisions, etc.
I wouldn't recommend using multiple external drives for this, so an XServe RAID might be a good bet.
However, the 'access from anywhere' issue is going to be your biggest problem, depending on the network connectivity you have at home. The XServe RAID isn't exactly a portable system, and if you're only connected via DSL or cable (or other typical residential broadband connection) it will take many hours (days, even) to transfer that data over the network.
Without knowing more about the project I'm thinking that you might want an XServe RAID for the base footage storage and edits, plus an external FireWire terabyte drive of some kind - What I'm thinking is that you don't need all the content each time you visit your client, you only need either a portion of the data, or the (hopefully) final output which you can copy to the drive before you leave.
That way you have all the data centrally, plus a copy of the relevant chapters/sections/whatever to present to your client.
