Where does learn about FCPX internal processing?

1) Does FCP X work with YUV like FCP or RGB like Media Composer?
2) If one imports 10- or 12-bit ProRes 422, are the data processed (FX) at : 8-bit or 10- or 12-bit or 16-bit or 32-bit (FP)?
3) Can one import RGB ProRes 4444 (really 4:4:4)?
4) If so, are the data kept as RGB or converted to YUV?
5) If kept as RGB, is it 0-254 RGB?
6) When importing 12-bit RGB ProRes 4444 (really 4:4:4) are the data processed (FX) at : 12-bit or 16-bit or 32-bit (FP)?
7) Is the GPU used for FX?
8) If so, does the GPU support 12-bit samples?
9) ProRes automatically will accept and carry 12-bit data. Assuming FCPX passes 12-bit data -- does the export process to ProRes output 12-bit?
The reasons for these questions is the RAW and log cameras utilize 12-bit RGB data.

FCP is RGB.

Where to learn about formatting Wiki pages? - best way to have a consistent custom formatting?

Hi,
I'm a new user to SharePoint Wiki but have a lot of content that would work well in a wiki format that I want to input. This is an enterprise SharePoint system and I am only a user.
I am frustrated by the default formatting, and would like scalable way of altering the formatting. I need to learn about formatting options in sharepoint but I don't know where to start.
What learning resources would you recommend?
Is there a method for managing formatting that you would recommend?
Many thanks in advance.

Where to learn about database tuning from?

Hello,
I need to learn more about database tuning - practical aspect. Are there any sites/services that could help me? I can't use production environment of course, I need to prepare my own ones (Oracle DBs on linux and windows too) and workload too. How to simulate workload from many users?
Thanks in advance for help

How do you learn to paint? You can read every book on the subject, attend lectures by famous artists on paints and brushes and styles and what not..
None of this will turn you into an artist that can paint. Theory only goes that far.
And this is as true in performance tuning as in painting. You need to run into that brick wall called experience over and over again - and each time learn hard lessons that no theory can ever teach.
If performance tuning was that easy, we would have had fully automated tuning software in operating systems and database systems that could detect and fix all our performance woes on the fly.
Does not work like that.
Also, performance tuning is many times seen as an "after the fact" thing. Design the system. Code the software. Implement it. Then tune it.
Wrong. Also does not work like that.
Performance tuning begins at the very first workshop when brainstorming the basic design of the system. If performance and scalability are not part of that process, they cannot easily (if at all) be made to be part of the final system as a tuning exercise.
If I need to pass a single fundamental "uber-alles" principle for performance tuning - when dealing with it after the fact (as many of us do), then it is:
Identify The Problem
Do not confuse symptoms as the actual problem.
PS. Performance tuning is also many time (IMO) a situation where you have lost. Why? Because of if the code was designed and coded correctly, then there would not have been a performance issue. If the Oracle architecture was understood correctly, there would not be a problem. Which makes the advice by the other 2 posters so important. Understand Oracle. Understand how to design and code in Oracle. If done well, what is there left to performance tune?

Where to learn about viewing video?

Using my Mac mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running system 10.6.6, I have trouble viewing some live or recorded video Internet broadcasts, but have no trouble with others. One that I cannot view with any browser is broadcast by my Mac user group!
Ones I can see: YouTube, CNN, live NASA TV, using Flip4Mac to tell QuickTime viewer to view. UStream no joy, for example. Cannot watch NASA videos online but after downloading they play well in QT.
Where is a good place to learn how to be able to view videos, and why some are available and others are not? I do not find the help files on the Apple site to solve the problem.

Some of the people at my Mac user group do not like questions from people who do not understand things so I am reluctant to ask any more questions.

Audigy 2 NX internal processing, resampling

I am trying to figure out what has been determined about the internal processing and resampling in Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy 2 cards.
I have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX for my laptop computer. I am wondering whether this performs resampling and processing at 48 kHz, as was found to be the case with the first generation of Audigy cards.
Audigy 2 NX is an external device that interfaces via USB 2.0. The specifications indicate recording up to 24-bit, 96 kHz. So the question is whether that is an honest spec, or if it is a continuation of the misleading specs of the Audigy first-generation line. The Wikipedia article describes Audigy second generation devices as "recording at 24-bit precision up to 96 kHz, thereby overcoming the single biggest criticism of its predecessor. However, the DSP again was limited to 16-bit at 48 kHz, so all DSP effects had to be disabled to prevent harmful resampling."
I gather from the Wikipedia article that the Audigy 2 NX doesn't actually have a DSP chip. In addition, the way I use the card is indeed to disable all the DSP effects (which are presumably software-based in the absence of a DSP chip). (I like someone's description of sound card DSP effects as "kiddie effects".)
Therefore, given that the Audigy 2 NX does not have on-board DSP processing, and I have disabled DSP processing anyway, I think the card may be producing true sampling at whatever allowed rate I choose up to 96 kHz, without 48 kHz internal resampling. That is, I think but am not quite certain. I am aiming to record at 44.1 kHz.
Note: I am well aware that Creative's products are not considered pro-level. It cost me $40 as a refurb. Depending on whether this device doesn't do some silly processing internally that I haven't asked it to do, it may turn out to be a resonably good knockaround device for input and output when low latency is not required.

> I had a look at the online reviews, and there don't seem to be many even vaguely technical ones around
That's the thing. I would think at least one engineer would have dug in, but this unit may have been too uncommon.
I had actually read the Tom's Hardware article, but via a different URL (which includes graphs):
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-2,711-13.html
Unfortunately, even with test graphs, they did not clearly define precisely what is being measured. "Frequency response" I assume refers to output. It does show energy output above 24 kHz in 96 kSamp/S mode.
So, even the Tom's Hardware review does not absolutely clarify the situation. I think what you may have noticed on page 8 of that review was this: "Naturally, reading 5.1 tracks at 24 bits/96 kHz is something that the Audigy 2 NX is capable of. However, the card is limited to 16 bits/48 kHz."
That actually jibes with the specs in the user's guide, when using the device with USB 1.1. The full table from the user's guide:
Speaker mode Function USB 1.1 USB 2.0
2.0 Playback Up to 24-bit/96 kHz Up to 24-bit/96 kHz
#Record Up to 24-bit/96 kHz Up to 24-bit/96 kHz
4/5.1 Playback Up to 24-bit/48 kHz Up to 24-bit/96 kHz
#Record Up to 24-bit/96 kHz Up to 24-bit/96 kHz
7.1 Playback Up to 16-bit/48 kHz Up to 24-bit/96 kHz
#Record Up to 24-bit/96 kHz Up to 24-bit/96 kHz
# Note that configurations are available only if there is enough bandwidth. Simultaneous playback and recording at 24-bit/96 kHz on USB 1.1 is not possible
In other words: playback through 4+ speakers using USB 1.1 is limited to 48 kHz. With USB 2.0: limited 96 kHz for any number of speakers.
The Tom's Hardware review was written in 2003, apparently in the presence of questionable support for USB 2.0: "It will only be able to give full measure when upgraded USB management through Windows XP becomes available from Microsoft and when Creative upgrades its system accordingly to enable 24-bit/96 kHz data-streams to pass through the USB connection. Hopefully, this should happen before the end of the year."
The page also has this regarding resampling: "Note that the Audigy 2 NX, like the other Creative cards, operates at 48 kHz for EAX effects. Operation at 44.1 kHz thus uses a resampling method that has a negative effect." However, when EAX effects are disabled (as they always are for me), it is unclear to me what happens.
Another report from 2003 (I think) was David Griesinger's PowerPoint presentation. Very amusing. From slide 8 onward: "All I needed was a good quality sound card that would record and playback 96kHz. Many manufacturers seem to offer such a thing at reasonable prices. I chose one by the most popular manufacturer lets call them 'C'.... Although you could set the device to record at 96kHz, signals above 23kHz would not record.... I decided to buy a USB based device that did 96/24, as this would be useful for demos from my laptop such as at this lecture.... But this external board would also not record or play above 23kHz.... 'Are ANY of your boards actually capable of operating at 96kHz?'.... 'NO.... In fact, none of our competitors do either We all have 96/24 converters, but we run them at 48kHz.'"
Much of DG's discussions with manufacturers back in 2003 ended up being about USB stuff. I'll have to see what happens with proper USB 2.0 running in the modern era.
I'll take a look at RightMark.

Where can i learn about Boot Camp

to all
i would like to learn about boot camp and the risks of puttiong windows on my mac. some things i just need on windows.
where can i read about it before i start to post dumb questions about virus software and the risk of virus, as i'm sure its been addressed somewhere..

thanks for the reply The Hatter... but its not a case of not leaving my comfort zone, but getting the full facts first for what i want to do. I;m quite good at leaving my comfort zone thank you..
currently trying to build a server at home with little experience
teaching myself HTML and Javascript and writing 5 websites on the fly
among many other things.. i just need to find out more about what i am doing before i do it so i understand what i am doing, and whether its the best use of my time.
my laptop most certainly doesn't sit on a shelf. its been around the world, to far flung corners of jungles, remote islands in Thailand and never leaves my side. Its on al day working and on all night processing. infact it almost drowned with me when i was caught in a violent storm going between islands in Thailand. Naturally i put the laptop somewhere safe before saving myself from going overboard.

Where does the processing take place when using a remote front panel?

Hi,
I am considering upgrading my LabView software from 6i to 6.1 for the new "two click" remote front panel feature. I have already seen a demo of this feature but have just a few questions before I get the upgrade:
My setup consists of several pieces of equipment connected to Labview via GPIB, to aid in the evaluation of a new microchip.
1. I wish to grant control of the setup to anyone with a web browser, Is the remote monitoring feature compatible with both Netscape and IE?
2. The VI which controls the setup is currently located on the PC beside my setup. When I embed a VI in a remote front panel, where does the processing take place, is the local VI still controlling the setup? and
the remote panel just sending and receiving data from the local VI.
Thanks, Troy

Yes. Provided they are resonably modern versions.

The computer which we refer to as the server, the one with the GPIB card
in your case, will execute as it does now. In fact, its window will
even be open. The remote client computer, the one with the web browser
will be running the runtime engine and processing user events, value
change and property/method events from the server. So in reality, both
computers will be sharing the load a bit. This allows for very small
packets to be sent between the computers. It is in fact quite similar
to publishing the data between the computers using datasocket.
One thing to keep in mind. Standard LV includes a license for one
connection. If you want to allow for multiple web browsers to view at
the same time, additional licenses are available. Also, only one user,
remote or server may be in control of the panel at a time. That means
that if you want to be able to operate the panel, changing kn
obs or
flipping switches, the others will become viewers only until you give up
control. Hopefully this isn't a surprise, but I thought you might want
to hear about it now.

Where should one learn about...

Hey
Now that I've got my machine up and running, I've a bit of a learning curve to tackle. I'd like to know what/where to read about clock speeds, multipliers, and whatever else I need to ensure my system is running at maximum. For instance, MSI's InfoView says that my CPU is a Duron, "External Clock" is 100MHz and "Current Speed" is 1100MHz. Not an Athlon (as listed in my signature). MSI WMInfo says it is an Athlon, and the Max (and Current) ClockSpeed is 1094 MHz.
I hate being spoon fed. I want to learn on my own but I don't know where to start. I'm not really interested in overclocking, at least not yet considering my limited knowledge.
So where should I learn?
Continued thanks
Paul

Hi PaulB,
Don't worry what the Athlon/Duron thing I've an Athlon XP1800 and MSI info says the same thing!
Your processor is running at the incorrect speed at the moment. Firstly, switch of all power and check your motherboard's FSB jumper is set to to the correct FSB for your CPU, (if your CPU's FSB is 333MHz then it should be set to 166MHz (Jumper J11)) see page 53 in the (downloaded PDF) manual. (re-edited to avoid confusion).
Then you'll have to make sure these settings are also reflected in your BIOS - Enter your BIOS and select "Advanced Chipset Features" then adjust the "CPU FSB clock" to 166MHZ (try 133MHz first and and boot to see what effect it has). This is described on page 67 of the (downloaded PDF) manual.
If you are unable to boot after changing the BIOS settings then Don't Panic - you'll have to reset your CMOS (returns all BIOS settings to original values). UNPLUG your machine and change the the JBAT1 jumper to the "Clear Data" position then move it back to it's "Keep Data" position (before swithing on again) - If you do have to do this, you must remember that all your previous BIOS settings will have to be reset manually. See page 52 of the (downloaded PDF) manual.
Any other questions you might have - post them here - make sure you do a search within the forum just to make sure a similar query has not already been addressed.
Good luck and don't forget to let us know how you get on!
Axel :D

Hi,
It is not a browser feature, but a feature of the Google sites like Google Search, Google Maps and services like gmail. Depending on the site / service you may see it when signed in or even otherwise. It appears as a horizontal bar at the top on google related sites as of now.

Network storage drive...where can I learn about these?

I have so many questions, and frankly, the answers I've seen looking (briefly, admittedly) around these threads scare me. Gee, Wally, what ever happened to Apple as the computer you didn't have to know computer programming to use?
Now, before you all get your panties in a bunch telling me that I'm responsible for knowing how to use my hardware, I know...and I do want to know.
So what I want to know now is how can I learn about the various types of "shares", and what they mean for hooking up a network drive for backup, etc.
I have a WD 1TB drive which I believe uses "SMB", whatever that is. It's got two folders on it currently, "Public" which I can access, and "WD Backup", which I can't. I also can't seem to use it as a Time Machine drive, which is what I want to do with it. And, or course, I can't re-format it, which I'd love to do as my wife hates the folder designations on it, and would like to have one folder called "iMac Backup" on it.
Answers which don't involve Terminal will get extra points, but I've dealt with Terminal before, so take your best shot. And ask for clarification if you need it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, networking and file-sharing aren't quite so simple in part because there's decades of history and dozens of companies involved in getting it into the current state. If you want dead-simple, you can get an Apple Time Capsule or AirPort with an external drive and be done with it. However, if you really want the most from network storage, you'll probably want to read up...
WD make a number of drive, some network-attached, some not. We'll assume that you have one of their basic consumer network-attached drives.
"SMB" stands for "Server Message Block" protocol and it was the local area network file-sharing protocol developed for Windows for Workgroups circa 1992 (it was later renamed CIFS - Common Internet File System - by Microsoft in 1996 because of the rising popularity of the Internet, despite the difficulty in getting it to work in anything but a small local network). SMB/CIFS is still widely used today for Microsoft Windows networks, though much of the equipment that serves those files are built on Linux or FreeBSD and not Windows.
Access to shares on an SMB server (such as your hard disk) is controlled through a configuration utility provided with the drive or via a web application built into the device (that you access through your browser). Consult your manual. Generally speaking, however, SMB servers offer different ways of identifying whether or not you can access a share: 1) based on the computer connecting (in which case, everyone is considered the same user), or 2) based on a username/password combo. Generally a server will only operate in one mode. Shared directories can also allow or deny "guest" access (access without a password). All of this should be configurable through the drive utility or web application which you access with your web browser. Generally, an SMB server can only operate in one mode.
It sounds like the Public directory is configured to allow guest access, and I'm guessing that "WD Backup" is a share that's password-protected and intended to be used with Western-Digital's own software of the same name. You should be able to add and create new directories as necessary through the provided utility or the web interface.
You are correct, you cannot use Time Machine with an SMB file-sharing service. Time Machine will require AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) or NFS (Network File System) support. Western-Digital only has 3 network drives that support AFP and Time Machine: My Book Live, MyBook World, and WD ShareSpace. OS X also has some basic requirements about the performance and capabilities of network storage in order to use it with Time Machine, so you really want to look for drives that state up front that you can use Time Machine with them (for example, WD World Edition: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf )
I'm not sure why you can't reformat the drive. This is supported on all WD products (though, if you've moved a bunch of data to it already, perhaps it would be a hassle).
You can do backups of your Mac over SMB, but it's complicated by the fact that SMB is quite old and isn't capable of storing information about the file permissions, ownership, etc. It will be reliable for data files, but not for applications, etc. There's a work-around, of course. You can create a disk image on the SMB share using Disk Utility (make sure you create an HFS+ image) and backup to that. If you go that route, I would suggest either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to perform your backups. They are true backup tools, not versioning tools like Time Machine.
