Why we should use a NTSC or PAL Monitor?

if we are outputting to video for broadcast on tv, so we use a monitor to monitor the colour.(Only for the colour, or some other purpose?)
but if i just make it for web, 3G, and DVD? do i still need TV monitor?
How about HD?
if i use a HD monitor to edit a project, and for broadcast on HDTV, do i still need a HD monitor or sth, else?
Thank you guys!

By viewing the material on the final output display device, you prevent nasty surprises.
Video is interlaced, computers are progressive.
Video has a different gamma than computers (and macs are different than PCs).
NLE programs show you a proxy image, not the full resolution one.
If you work in HD (and HDV is a low end flavor of HD), you have much more expensive monitoring issues as you can't feed your NTSC/PAL monitor via firewire like you can with DV. You need a 3rd party card like the Kona LH or an external box like the Matrox MXO to convert the computer image to a HDTV image.
Viewing the work in progress on the appropriate monitor gives you on going quality control and the greatest confidence in your output. Other than that, no reason to use an external monitor.

    Put it this way... if you have blueprints for a car you wouldn't want to produce only one car, would you? You would want to produce as many as needed. In another example, you don't want to be able to use only 1 window in Windows. Each window has common features but have different values. That's the purpose of non-static entities
    However, there are instances that you want to have only one value for something. That's when you use static entities.
    Get it? =)

  • Why we should use Statis entities?

    If we can access Static entities directly without creating instances, then why we should use None-Static entities? None Static entities are occupying resources too.
    Is there any disadvantage of Static entities?

  • Why I should use an iCloud mailbox?

    Hello there. I discovered that now I can use a @icloud.com mail address simply enabling it from my iCloud preference panel in OS X. I have created an email address, but I have some questions:
    What happens to my @icloud.com address if I don't use a Mac (or iPhone, iPad, etc.) anymore?
    Will my iCloud mail be available forever from icloud website or using IMAP configuration?
    What is the maximum space granted?
    The final question is: why I should use an iCloud mailbox instead (for example) of a Gmail one? All contributes will be greatly appreciated!

    1) Nothing
    2) Yes, as long as Apple keeps the service going
    3) 5Gb for free. More if you pay.
    4) It's up to you. iCloud email supports push notifications on iOS devices. That's about the only difference compared to any other IMAP email account. iCloud also syncs and backs up iOS devices.

  • Any reason why I should use Safari on my PC

    I use Mozilla now. I now have an Iphone. Is there any reason why I should download and use Safari on my PC? I expect the functions will be different from IE or Mozilla or maybe better, but is it a good idea to download and use since I have an Iphone?

    It's pretty irrelevant, unless you really want to sync bookmarks from your computer to your iPhone (you could do that with IE as well, but not Firefox).

  • Why we should use JSP instead of Servlet ?

    I want to know what are the advantages to use JSP over Servlet.

    hi
    Servlets are server exctension ( like CGI ) separate executable
    modules to serve any request efficiently.
    Servlets are pure java classes, u can use them the write an html code to browser.
    u have to compile the servlet before u use it.
    JSP page, is a text-base document , u can type html inside it , and u can use java as scripting language, so it is more easy to use jsp rather than servlet as each jsp page is translated into a servlet by JSP engine.
    Hope this will help
    Good luck

  • NTSC to PAL / 24fps

    Hi guys,
    I'm shooting a tv show for MTV tr in New York City and since it will air in Europe it has to be set in PAL so I am unsure on how to deal with the settings.
    I have NTSC 24fps footage that needs to be edited. My question is when I start a new project in Premiere CS3 should I choose NTSC or PAL or should I start editing in NTSC and convert it to PAL?
    Second question, when I import the footage in Premiere which, is located in my external hard drive with usb 2.0, the video seems jerky or choppy on the camera movements such as panning and any fast camera moves. Do you know how or where I can adjust this problem? Could it be that my project was shot in 24 fps and the new project file fps is 29.97? I didn't change any fps settings in the new project, so I assumed it's automatically 29.97.
    My computer:
    Windows XP
    2.80GHz Pentium D CPU
    2.00GB RAM
    Third question, should I render my project and burn a DVD or does it render when you burn a DVD automatically?
    Can anyone please help me with this?
    Thank you so much!
    Firat

    From what you have described and looking at the specs I feel there is little chance of your program being accepted for television anywhere.
    Need some answers...
    What camera was used to shoot the footage at 24fps? Is it DV or HDV?
    Why did you not choose a project setting of 24fps rather than 29.97?
    Why did you use USB to transfer files rather than Firewire?
    Capturing USB sort of indicates that your camera is DVD or HDD based and using Mpeg files which CS3 doesn't like, nor do TV stations.
    Don't worry too much about burning a DVD until you work out if the footage is editable.

  • What is web.xml and why it is used?

    hi,
    am new to servlet technology, i tried to find a topic like this in this fourm also in google but didn't get a exact one. can anybody explain me or suggest me some resource about this.
    thanx in advance.
    Max

    hi stevejluke,
    thanx for the correct link.
    nx for the correct link. but what i in doubt with is
    why we should use web.xml? may be my question is very
    silly, may be too basic, forgive me for that...
    Thanx & Regards,
    SaikatAt the most basic level:
    There are several versions of the Servlet specification, You need the web.xml to tell the server which version of the spec your application conforms to so the server knows how to deal with different things.
    If you have a servlet, you also need the web.xml to define what URL signals a request that should be handled by your servlet.
    At this point, you need to sit down and read a book. Do what it says, blindly at first. Just do what it says (but do try to understand the 'what' of it, just don't question the 'why'). After you have a few applications running, go back and ask yourself this question again and try to see what you are using the web.xml for in those applications you have.

  • NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

    I was reading this
    http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
    however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
    Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

    Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • NTSC TO PAL USING FCE

    NTSC TO PAL: (HOW TO?) I EXPORTED MY SEQUENCE USING DV-PAL ENCODING TO A QUICK TIME MOVIE, THEN IN IDVD, SET THE PREFERENCE TO "PAL" AND BURNED THE DVD. HOW DO I PROVE IT'S REALLY A "PAL" DVD? I CAN PLAY IT ON MY COMPUTER, AND THOUGHT IT WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS I USED A "PAL" DVD PLAYER! HOW DO I PROVE IT'S A "PAL" DVD???
    THANKS,

    STOP SHOUTING!
    The only way you can prove it is to use a PAL DVD player. One problem is that most PAL DVD players will now play back NTSC, so even that's not proof positive.

  • "Large" or "Full" "NTSC" or "PAL"

    I recently shot about 3 hours worth of digital video on a Panasonic DVX100B. I am going to cut it down to be a 20 minute promotional video and it will be played on a very big screen in a theater. Here's a link to the best picture I could find of the screens.
    http://images.citysearch.net/profile/ec/b0/35901331p1.jpg
    I'm using iMovie '08 but I need to know how I should import the video.
    should I use large or full, NTSC or PAL.
    Please Help!

    Here is how to think about FULL vs LARGE. This is only important if you are importing video shot at 1920x1080.
    If you choose FULL, it will import at 1920x1080. It will take up about 40GB of disk per hour of footage.
    It will preserve the full quality of the original camcorder capture.
    If you choose LARGE, it will import at 960x540 (half the original resolution). It will take up about 13GB of hard disk space per hour of footage. There will be some quality loss, but the loss is minor, and is not noticeble by most people.
    So it depends how you are using the footage. If you are creating a BluRay disk, import at full. If you have a way to display 1920x1080, such as a Sony PS3, import at full. If you are doing this for broadcast television and will do further editing in Final Cut, import in full. If you will be displaying your movie on a computer monitor, with at least a 24inch screen, you might want to use full. To take full advantage of Full, you must EXPORT USING QUICKTIME with appropriate options. All the other Share options will export at a max of 960x540.
    For most other uses (Mobile Me Web Gallery, a 480i DVD, Apple TV, etc., iPhone, iPod, Quicktime file for the Web) large is sufficient. This is because even though you input at 1920x1080, the output will be a maximum of 960x540, and in the case of the DVD, will be much less. So if you are exporting at 960x540, why not import at 960x540 and save the space?
    This is a gray area, however, because you may want to preserve your option to burn your movie to BluRay or other devices in the future. You might want to import at 1920x1080 just to preserve all your options.

  • Ntsc to pal issue

    hello.
    Every time i put .mov thru compressor ,when loading in dvd studio pro , i get the error stating ntsc project can not be added to pal project

    Based on a quick Google for Sony HVR-A1J, you're using a Japanese gray market version of the A1. Japan is a NTSC (29.97 frames per second) country.
    If you are allowing FCP to reconfigure Sequence settings to match the video clips (which you typically should do) it is creating a NTSC sequence. Basically, if you want to create PAL DVDs of decent quality you need to shoot with a PAL camera.
    In your current situation you need to convert NTSC (29.97 fps) to PAL (25 fps). The Final Cut Studio package can only do a 'fair' quality job, for best quality you'd need to send it out to a professional conversion facility.
    Find the DVD Best Quality 150 minute preset in the Apple>DVD folder, click on it to highlight, click on the + button to create a duplicate, open the new copy, double click on the MPEG-2 preset, under the Encoder menu (click the 'gear' button for manual control) set the video format to PAL, under Frame Controls menu click the 'gear' button and turn Frame Controls On, set Resize to Best, select Rate Conversion: Best, Set Duration to 95.904% of source, click the Save button.
    NTSC to PAL is not a beginner level process. Cross check the suggested settings above with the Compressor Manual to better understand what you're doing and why.
    Oh, and get a video camera that shoots at 25 fps.

  • NTSC to PAL Compression for DVD Studio Pro

    I am trying to make PAL MPEG2s using Compressor. My videos are roughly 15 minutes long (I have 6 going onto one DVD). I altered one of the Presets to PAL, 16x9, one pass VBR, 4.5 to 7 data rate, best for the motion setting. And I get the typical odd chunky feeling during motion within the frame. Meaning frames look removed (or added) during movement. I looked at it not only on my MAC but on a PAL DVD routed to a true PAL monitor.
    Any advice for settings I should try? I have two tests rendering - I moved up to 2 pass VBR, 5-8 data rates, better motion and best motion. I should be able to look at them this evening; but from the folks I talked to, I'm not hopeful. Has anyone figured a way to make PAL MPEG2s look good short of having PAL masters made and a large Post house do the files on their very expensive equipment?
    Thanks,
    Cindy S.

    What version of Compressor are you using? Compressor 2 has frame rate conversion settings under the Frame Controls tab (offering various levels of quality).
    In any case, you might want to try the freeware utility JES Deinterlacer since it supports fairly good NTSC to PAL conversion using either frame blending or a form of inverse telecine (to convert from NTSC's 29.97fps to PAL's 25fps). If you're using Compressor 1.X then this may be your best option unless you are willing to spend some money on an alternative, third-party solution.
    You can download JES Deinterlacer from VersionTracker.com -- it comes with instructions.<small><hr width="75%"><small>If this suggestion helps in any way, a confirmation or acknowledgment would be appreciated, since that would also help others who may be having the same difficulty.

  • Tv out in settings. NTSC or PAL?

    what are these two settings and which one should i put it on?

    NTSC is the US standard for video broadcast signals (well, it was, the DTV transition that just happened actually switched us to ATSC, an all digital signal). PAL is a standard used in many other countries.
    You should use the standard of whatever country you bought your TV in. To see a list of standards by country, just google. This seems to be pretty complete: http://www.rdiconnect.com/support/policy/ntsc_pal.pdf
