Why is the IEEE 1394 Standard for digital cameras difficult to synchronize/trigger with other devices?

In the knowlege base, it generally says under "analog and digital cameras: advantages and disadvantags" that the IEEE 1394 is difficult to synchronize and trigger. Why is that exactly so and how can you solve that problem in DIAdem 8.0 when you would like to trigger your measurement inputs (accelerometers etc) together with a camera.

I would guess it is difficult to synchronize because it provides a software trigger. Latencies in the communication would make it difficult to perfectly synchronize two separate events.
Many firewire cameras also have a hardware trigger. If you were to use this with your other hardware, you would probably be able to get much better synchronization.

Why is the memory capacity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?

Hi All,
I'm new to all this . I have a question "Why is the memory capcity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?"
Thanks
Maggie

Why is the memory capcity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?
It is not to Photoshop.
But to the photographer it is extremely relevant. It determines how many images (influenced by "quality") your camera can hold before running out of room to store pictures. A larger memory capacity for your camera will allow you to take and store more and/or higher quality images.
("Quality" in this case is determined by image size- the number of pixels making up the image in your camera and image "compression" - how much JPG formatting will effect your image.)
(attempted analogy coming... watch out!)
Think of the camera memory card as a linen closet to store down pillows. A small closet you can store 10 pillows on a shelf. Double the size of the closet and you can store 20 down pillows.
You also have the choice to stuff the down pillows in small sacks, allowing you to store even more pillows in the closet. The problem is after cramming the down pillows into the small container, they come out battered and not as nice as they were before storage.
Linen Closet = Memory Card
Down Pillows = images
Small sacks to stuff pillows into = JPG compression.
(and to add this this questionable analogy... the better down pillows have more feathers, and take up more room in the linen closet)
Feathers = pixels

Does the iOS app allow for digital signatures ?

does the iOS app allow for digital signatures ?

Hi,
Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support digital signatures. But you can add handwritten signatures (as annotations) to PDF documents.
For digital signatures for legally binding documents and contracts, I'd recommend the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro/Standard. Alternatively, you can use Adobe EchoSign for e-signatures.

W520 Replace DVD with another Hard Drive and IEEE 1394 spec for music recording

To increase the performance, I am taking the 160 GB SSD instead of the mechanical drive. Obviouslt, I need more space than this. I don't care about the DVD rom. It can't play blu ray anyway. Is it possible to replace the dvd drive with a hard drive? Where can I get a replaceable drive for this? What do I do with the DVD? Can I sell it back?
I need to do music recording with this. I was wondering about the IEEE 1394 spec; the latency etc. If I remember correctly the W510 IEEE1394 was very good, probably was manufactured by Texas Instruments. I could not find anything about it anywhere. Not even here: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf
Also, a bit worried about the sound card. How good is it? Did anyone use this laptop for music recording?

hey udvranto,
with regard to this, i would suggest contacting tech support via the number listed in the link below to check if it is possible to replace the dvd with your harddrive.
http://www.lenovo.com/contact/us/en/
on the part of the soundcard, I believe it is good for music recording. Though this really depends on the software that you're going to use to record.

Why doesnt the Iphone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert

Why doesnot the Ipone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert, after all it is suppose to be a smart phone

The only visual aid the iPhone has for missed calls, text, email, etc. is the Notification center. After opening notification center, you chose each of the desired areas, i.e. phone calls, mail, etc. and select your notification. This can be badges, etc. If you miss a call, it will display a notice on the screen for a period of time and the screen will then go dark again. If you wake up the phone and you have missed calls or texts, they should show up on the screen, depending on your settings. The iPhone does not, and never has had a flashing light as some other phones have.
Check the manual for setting the Notification Center. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

How to connect a DV camera through the IEEE 1394 port on my A50?

Hi
I have been trying to connect a video camera to my notebook SA50-109 throught the IEEE 1394 port.. but the notebook didn't recognize the camera at all..
although the camera shows 'DV-in' when i plug the cable witch is (4-pin to 4-pin) DV cable..
is there any thing I need to do before to make it work?
any ideas.. please?

Hi there. Your PC should recognize automatically the DV camera. It's OK to have the firewire (1394) connection shown under "network connections". Next to mine it says "connected" although the harddisk connected to it is switched off. Maybe there is something wrong with the cable? Or, another suggestion, try to restart the laptop while the camera is connected ... Not many further suggestions I'm afraid ... Good luck!

Why is the app not available for my device?

I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook

Why is the Amber update different for ATT and Chin...

Why is the Amber update different for ATT and China? For Lumia 520, it could tap to unlock but, in china, this function is disappeared disappear. Could you give an expain as the matching hardware, otherwise I think it's a definately discriminatory to Chinese.

Double tap to unlock is not available for any 520, anywhere in the world. See link below. You should always check first before making allegations.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

32-bit what won't download? What OS? What browser. Ned is correct that using a different browser may help but virus protection can stop downloads as well as proxy servers.

Is the Canon Powershot S2 IS Digital Camera compatible with an ipod photo?

I'm going on a roadtrip to the northwest next month and was wondering if anyone knows whether the Canon Powershot S2 IS Digital Camera compatible with an ipod photo?

You cannot, with a PC or a Mac, transfer photos from a camera directly to the iPod. You need to download the images from the camera to your computer first, then move the pictures from the computer to the iPod.
Not quite sure about that - from the Apple Store (UK):
Simply plug the iPod Camera Connector into the iPod dock connector, plug your camera’s USB cable and watch your images make their way to the iPod, ready to view in a slide show!
Compatible with iPod with color display.
Not compatible with iPod nano.
Requires iPod software v1.1.
See http://www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html for supported cameras.

What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?cc=us

What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?
How would one go about arranging for such service?
Why is it impossible to contact a real human for support, either via online chat or phone?

Last I checked I am a real human, it is just that I do not work for HP and can't speak for them. HP would not be the place I would go for a "refurbish" job. They charge an arm and a leg for out of warranty service. You simply need to find someone to replace the system board (motherboard). It is also very likely on that model that you could have your system board repaired. There are many services on ebay that will repair the motherboard at the component level. The cost would be at or under $100 or so. I have more advice to give but many times I write a detailed response only to have the user never come back. I do check my posts so if you want more ideas just please respond. The tx2-1000 was one of the models affected by the nVidia issue that caused so many HP laptops made in the 2007-2009 era to fail prematurely.
