Which video port to use?

Replacing my current Mini with a new 2009 model, I currently connect my Mini to my 52" LCD via a DVI-HDMI cable, wondering if the mini-displayport or mini-DVI would be the best way to connect the new model (I will have to convert to HDMI either way)?

Good question. No Apple product has ever supported HDCP over a DVI port. Maybe that has changed with the new mini, but I doubt it. As to whether the Mini DisplayPort connector supports HDCP or not, it seems to be the case that it is supported on the Apple 24" LED backlit Cinema Dipslay. But whether HDCP is supported from Mini DisplayPort to HDMI, I have never heard of that being confirmed.

  • Using time capsule model A1409 and trying to use it as only backup. Already have Verizon wireless router. Do not know which cable port to use in back of time capsule. And also it is asking for password. Have tried all of mine and it will not work.

    Want to us my time capsule model A1409  as only backup. 2 TB hard drive.
    Already have Verizon wireless router. Do not want to use Time capsule as router, only back up for iMac.
    Do not know which cable port to use in back of time capsule to Ethernet port back of my iMac.
    And also it is asking for password for the server John Garland's Time Capsule so Time machine can access it..
    Have tried all of passwords can think of and none work.
    Held the reset button for one second on back of capsule and do not see if anything happened.
    What a conundrum.
    Appreciate any help to get this working.
    Thanks,
    John R

    I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
    Mine is wiredup thus;
    Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one),  then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
    I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
    and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
    Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

  • K8n neo4-f v 3.0 which sata ports to use

    Hi guys,
    I will install on my Neo4-F v 3.0, 2 HDs, one is a Raptor 74gb sata I, and one is a Seagate 320gb Sata II. Which of the Sata ports is ideal for which hd? The Raptor will be the system drive (probably better?)
    Also suppose I will use a sata dvd burner, and an ide dvd burner - will this influence which sata port should I use for which device?
    Thanks for your support,
    Jose

    It should not make any difference since the Sata ports only have a master position, no slave.  Set it to boot from whatever drive you want as a system drive in the bios.

  • How do I choose which video card AE uses?

    Howdy,
    I have two video cards in my system which I use for editing, motion grahics and animation.  My new card has 3x the amount of ram as the older card yet AE chooses the older card for previews.  Is there somewhere I can change that in prefs?
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    Regarding video RAM: There is some benefit in giving the OpenGL renderer more texture memory (if you're using the OpenGL renderer at all, that is).
    from "Render with OpenGL":
    "To modify the amount of texture memory, choose Edit > Preferences > Previews (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Previews (Mac OS), click OpenGL Info, and enter a value for Texture Memory of no more than 80% of the installed video RAM (VRAM) on your video card."
    The default is set way too low for modern cards, which have so much more memory.
    But, all that said, the OpenGL renderer isn't really worth giving much thought to in After Effects. I only ever use it for the OpenGL - Interactive previews.

  • Can I choose which Video Card SpeedGrade uses by default?

    I have a Nvidia GTX 480 which has one monitor on it that I use for color correction.
    I also have a GTX 275 that I have 2 older monitors on it for extra realestate.
    When I use speed grade it appears to be utilizing my gtx 275 by default acording to the display setting in SpeedGrade.
    I want it to utilize the GTX480. Can anyone help me out with this?
    Also I have 2 monitors horizontal and my 480 color correction monitor is in Portrait mode. Speed Grade doesn't seem to be very custom workspace friendly. Can I set it up like I can in Premiere? Currently I can't use dual monitor correctly as it doesn't work well on the to landscape monitors. All the dimensions are wrong for filling the monitor screen.
    Any advice for setting SG up?
    Thanks.

    Hey Paul,
    I would typically use the "0" button on the numpad for easy comparison between grade / no grade. If you want to be more granular, use the dot (or colon on some other languages) on the numpad to disable the current layer active in the layer stack.
    The split screen option can be really handy once you add a second playhead.
    Check this for some more info:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/speedgrade/using/playheads.html
    If you want a more traditional A/B split between graded / ungraded footage, I suggest to simply create a copy of the entire timeline (you can do so by using the drag handle, then hold down CTRL and simply move the mouse up a bit beyond the current timeline. Then release it - you got a full blown copy. Sounds harder than it is once you've don it once )
    You can then turn off grading for the second timeline.
    This is also rather useful if you want to compare online vs. offline data (to ensure you got all edits, correct shots onlined etc.).
    Hope this is helpful.
    Pat
    One other question: I am trying to run splitscreen or side by side view on the dual display window, I have it running  but it is not showing any color comparasons. Both images are showing the same color looks applied. it won't show Graded vs Ungraded. This goes for any configuration, ie split screen or side by side. Thoughts?
    Thanks.

  • Which video card to use?

    I have a 24" external monitor attached to my MBP. Should I be using the better graphics card (9600M GT, or the normal 9600M)? Currently I am using the 9600M and things seem ok. I'm just wondering what advantages would come from using the better one?

    If you use only 9400M there are not much point using MB Pro!
    Nope. Not unless you want a thin, sleek, sturdy, lightweight 15" notebook computer with FireWire and an ExpressCard expansion slot, that runs Leopard and all the latest Mac software with ease and stays amazingly cool doing it. If none of those things matter to you, then certainly there's no point in having a MBP.
    But there are a lot of people who value those attributes and so would rather have a 15" MBP than a 13" MacBook, even if it means paying for a second GPU for which they have little or no use. I'm one of those people.

  • Want to select which video player to use. FF22 mobile has no "options" in the tools

    only get default video. Neither settings nor tools in ff has an option to change this. app manager says ff is using the default. I have Dice video player, MX video player, and android stock video player but I'm constrained to using ff's default.
    I'm using a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 with 4.1.2 jelly bean and ff 22.
    i don't care for flash but just FYI the site you provide for Adobe to download an older version of flash does not work for this mobile device.
    thanks for any help you can offer.

    You can download and save the video by long tapping on the playing video to open it in a 3rd party player.
    We are not going to embed 3rd party video players inside Firefox. That would be plugin behavior (like Flash) the web is moving away from that sort of behavior.

  • Which connection port to use on the Canon MP530 printer

    I'm not sure if I'm using the correct port on this printer to connect to my computer. There's a port on the back that looks like something other than a perfectly flat edged wide rectangular USB port, but it has the symbols that you see on the end of USB 2.0 cables molded above the port on the printer indicating it's that kind of port. I have another port on the front of the machine that looks like it fits a USB 2.0 cable, being that it has a nice, wide and flat connection area. It has some other kind of weird symbol though that I don't recognize molded above the port. Am I confusing it with something else? When I use a USB 2.0 male A connector cable that I connect one end of to my Mac and the other also with a male A conncector to that port I'm having no luck getting the printer to be seen by my computer even after installing the latest drivers that Canon's website recommends downloading from its' site. Can anybody help me figure out if I'm simply misunderstanding the kind of cable I need to connect my printer to my computer?

    I was using the wrong kind of USB cable to connect the printer and the computer. I needed to use a USB type B connector on the printer and a USB type A connector on the printer. My problem is now solved, although I still don't know what the other port is for that I was connecting my USB type A connector to. There's no mention of it on Canon's website or the papers and manuals that came with the printer. That's lousy manual building on Canon's part for this model.

  • 32L4300 mystery video port, any clue what cable?

    Anyone here with a model 32L4300 or any of that related series.
    On the left side of the set,  the very top input, above the HDMI is a port labeled IN ViDEO 1 (audio).
    The input is unusual. It's partly plastic (yellow) and it does not look like any other type of input I have ever seen.
    Does anyone know what this is and what kind of plug would fit there?
    Why does it say "(audio)"
    The diagram of the side panel in the manual, pg 22 calls it "1 Analog Video Port"
    The description of the side panel on page 23 calls it  "Analog Video Port, Connect using a commercially available conversion cable."
    It's not an RCA type. Does any one who owns this set know what that is???
    Thanks

    There's a cable that connects to that and splits into three RCA composite cables (the standard yellow, white, red). It's used to connect a composite device into a single port on a TV. I believe the TV should have come with that adapter.
    As to why it says audio, it's specifying that it can also be used as an audio input port. Let's say you had a computer with DVI output but not HDMI output. You could use a DVI to HDMI adapter to connect it to the TV. However, DVI doesn't carry audio. Even though HDMI does, that HDMI connection on the TV would be lacking audio because it came from DVI. You'd then connect the audio using RCA cables to that splitter, and connect that to the jack on the TV.
    I hope that helps.

  • My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How to determine which IP address and port is used to make DNS queries?

    I am using JNDI/DNS API to query a Enum server (Tel URI resolution in VOIP world) what is a DNS server.
    But I have many network interfaces, in a VLAN environment, and I must to specify from which interface (and port)
    all the requests are sent.
    When I read the code of JNDI/DNS API (in JDK 1.5) and specially the DNSClient class, I can see that the
    DatagramSocket is created without parameters... : udpSocket = new DatagramSocket();
    How can I specify the IP address and port to use for my client???
    Thanks for your help.

    I must to specify from which interface (and port) all the requests are sent. You don't have to specify the interface unless your static unicast routing tables are incorrect, and you never have to specify the port unless some lunatic is in control of your firewall.

  • Screen Recording Video - Which Preset do I use?

    Hi. I am using a free screen recording software...I've tried both CamStudio and Debut...and I was wondering which Preset I should use when I create a new project? I'm thinking Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder but I don't know for sure...
    I am having trouble getting the video to export sharp and clear. The videos are good quality when I record but something seems to be happening to the files when I import them into Premiere and add my animations. When I export back out as .flv (to add to website) they are extremely low quality.
    I'm wondering if this has to do with the preset from the very beginning. I've worked on videos within Premiere before but they were using actual footage from the video camera...not using Screen Recording devices.
    I've tried exporting the files as .AVI, .MOV, .MPG, etc. and still get the same low-quality export.
    Thank you.
    Leslie

    Leslie,
    I cannot tell you the Preset directly, but think that you might find some useful information in the links in this ARTICLE.
    Good luck,
