Will I see difference between DVI over VGA monitors?

hi all,
I have my G4s connected to one VGA LCD monitor via KVM adapter box. They both have video cards with DVI capabilities. Will I see a difference if I were to use a DVI monitor?
Thanks
Web dude

Hi-
Yes, there will be a difference.
LCD monitors are digital, and so is the graphical data produced by the graphics card.
For VGA (analog) the graphics card converts the digital to analog, and the monitor reprocess that back to digital.
There is a loss of quality, lesser or greater varies with equipment.
If you change to DVI connection, you will need a DVI capable KVM that supports the optimal resolution of the display. I say this, because in the case of 1920 x 1200, not all KVMs can go that high.

Using DVI and VGA monitor simultaneously on MacPro

using DVI and VGA monitor simultaneously on MacPro!
2008 MacPro - running the latest Yosemite
for the last few years, I've had two monitors attached - both DVI monitors in the DVI port.
today, one of the two monitors died on me! Just wouldn't turn on.
As it happens, I also have an older VGA monitor. So, this evening I bought a VGA-to-DVI adaptor.
when I plugged it in, something buggy happened ... the image was fine at the first, but then for a while, the active application started flashing off & on, it flashed between the image of the APP and a white panel... just the active APP. the background apps looked fine.
now it seems to have stopped .. .but I fear it may come back?
no idea what may be causing it! is it NOT a good idea to use DVI and VGA monitors simultaneously on a 2008 MacPro?
Hope it doesn't come back. right now I'm in safe start-up mode, I'll see what happens when I run normal start-up mode tom'w morning.
thanks for any feedback / insight!

minor update: I went back to the DVI monitor, using another 12V AC cable, and it seemed to work, but then that one just started flickering (after being on for an hour or so...) the flickering stopped after a few minutes, but something tells me that I'm not out of the woods yet...

Difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process available in PI7.1?
SAP says that Monitoring process is a special kind of integration process that receives the event messages.
My doubt is even integration process can receive the event messages.
Why these two different type of entities are created for the same purpose?
And what is the technical difference between the two in terms of PI perspective?
Regards,
Sami.

My question is now answered.
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70a25d3a-e4fa-2a10-43b5-b4169ba3eb17]
On page 17 of this pdf following sentence is mentioned :-
From technical perspective, there is no difference between monitoring process and integration process.
Though logically those are two deifferent things.
Monitoring porcesses are used to receive only event messages that is comprises of event data only.
Like Purchase order creation is a event and its event message will have the event data like Order Id, Created on, Created by, Quantity etc., instead of whole purchase order.
Where as Integration Process is a way to provide solution in some specific circummtances like where we have to automate our process or where we need something in between for the course of communication.
Guys thanks for your precious time.

Difference between Periodic scheduling & deadline Monitoring.

Hi Gurus,
i want to know the difference between Periodic scheduling & deadline Monitoring.
its gud if u explained with short example.
Thanks in Advance..
regards,
Amol.

Hello,
If you enter the start date or initial counter reading in the scheduling parameters, then you can start the automatic deadline monitoring directly for the maintenance plan (see Scheduling a Maintenance Plan automatically).
If you do not enter the start date or initial counter reading in the scheduling parameters, then you must start the scheduling for the maintenance plan manually before you can start the automatic deadline monitoring (see First-Time Scheduling).
For More Details about Schedulin you can refer below Link [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3c/abb350413911d1893d0000e8323c4f/content.htm]

Difference between DVI-I & DVI-D

Hello, I was wondering what the difference between the DVI-I & DVI-D cable sold at BestBuy are. We have a PC that will be plugged into a flat panel.
Is it just that one has more bandwidth and a high resolution or quality or do the two have different physical pins or connectors?
Appreciate it. Would research more but already spent four days learning about how much of a hassle it can be to find a AGP card for an aged system.
Thank you,
Mumford68
Solved!
Go to Solution.

DVI-I means "DVI-integrated". It carries both analog (VGA) and digital signals. DVI-D only carries the digital signals.
Almost no one should need a DVI-I cable. I've never seen a display device that had analog input into a DVI port. Really the only place DVI-I is beneficial is in the video card itself, so that a cheap passive adapter can be used to allow the card to be connected to an analog VGA monitor.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

Differences between DVI to Video Displays (MA026ZM/A & M9267G/A)

Hello to everyone.
I am desperately trying to find infos about two Apple parts, wich seem to be very similar (if not identical, somehow), but with no luck... so here it goes:
apart from the Video standard (PAL/NTSC) that doesn't actually really matter for me, what are the differences between the "DVI to Video Adapter", respectively with Apple part number MA026ZM/A and number M9267G/A?
The first one seems to be expressly for PAL TV standards, wether the second one doesn't have the word "PAL" in its name. Now, since Apple states that the first one ("PAL DVI to Video Adapter" (MA026ZM/A) works ONLY with Mac mini and PowerMac G5, when for the second one ("DVI to Video Adapter" (Apple part nr. MA026ZM/A) it states that it works for Mac mini, PowerMac G5 AND MacBook Pros (part nrs. MA609/610/611+), I wonder, what are the real differences?
In short, can the two adapters be swapped between a G5 and a MacBook Pro, wich I have both? Don't they have the SAME and IDENTICAL DVI port? Would a wrong adapter (say, the MA026ZM/A for the G5), when connected to a MacBook Pro, give some hardware issues, on the long term?
It's been days since I began to google for these infos, but with no luck.
Thank you very much,
Francesco

Thank you very much, neuroanatomist.
Your answer helped entirely, so I can avoid buying another DVI to Video adapter (M9267G/A) JUST for my MBPro. It's not very expensive (cinsidering that I am a reseller), but still, it would be trashed money.
Thank you very much, indeed.
PS: I've read just yesterday the topic you linked to, but I was still unsure, expecially when the guy wrote "Apple Australia say they don't know"!!! Thanks again, now it's all clear!

[GeForceFX] Difference Between DVI-I And DVI-D

I have a FX-5200-TD128 video card that is marked DVI-I and looking at LCD monitors I noticed some of them are marked DVI-D. Is there a difference?

Thanks!! What took you so long?

Can't see difference between new posts and old ones.

Hi
This may sound like a silly question......but why I can't see new posts everything looks the same, no indication of new posts.
It's very silly not to be able to see new posts.

Agreed guys ! We risk to not answer to someone, because we don't see that the thread has been updated. Before it was very easy to do that, now it' quite difficult :-(

Quality Difference Between Source and Program Monitors

Hi,
Hopefully somebody might be able to shed some light on my problem... I am working with a QT file in PP CS5 which is an animation created in AE CS5.
File Details:
Type: QuickTime Movie
File Size: 507.4 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 24
Frame Rate: 25.00
Total Duration: 00:01:00:00
Average Data Rate: 8.5 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Now when I view the footage in my Source with window (at 100%) it looks nice and crisp, bright and vibrant. When I view it in the Program monitor (at 100%), at both pre and post render stages the footage looks jagged, pixelated and much less vibrant, I've also noticed a slight colour shift as well.
I'm pretty new to PP CS5 - sorry if this is something really obvious or basic that I have overlooked!, but hopefully someone can help me out!
Many Thanks,
Neil.

Neil,
The Source Monitor is a simple player (as is the tiny player window in the Project Panel), and plays directly from the AV file on the HDD, where the Program Monitor is displaying from the Timeline, and takes into consideration any decompression, any Effects, etc.. There are also several settings in the Program Monitor, that can affect the display, such as Quality (try on Highest), and whether one is displaying 1/2, 1/4, etc. Resolution. What are all of the settings in your Program Monitor.
Also, what form of MPE do you have enabled, and what is the make/model of your video card? At the same time, you might want to list your video driver number/date.
Good luck,
Hunt

Image quality difference between timeline- and clip monitors

I've just captured dv into fcp4.5 and got surprised that I got the unrendered red line indication in the timeline when dragging it down from the clip monitor.
However, I rendered it but in timeline viewer the quality was bad like it was a field error. Contures were uneven etc.
The video in clip monitor has perfect quality.
I wish to find out a solution with this to learn something from it, rather than just re-install FCP wich normally puts things right.
Big thanks for advice /Erik
G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.8GB RAM

Thanx Jim, the compression was for some reason changed to none, now I changed it back to DV-PAL.
I suppose this compression doesn't affect the final export?
If I'd export with the DV-PAL compression (Ialways export with none) would that degenerate the video again or just read in the same trax so to speak?

Will I Tell the Difference Between the MacBook Pro 13' i5 or i7 chip?

I am wondering if I will notice a difference between the i5 processor or i7 when it comes to working with photoshop and lightroom.
I work with a 27' iMac already in the studio and at school so, no need for getting a large bulky laptop.
Thats why I am interested in the size of a portable 13'

Yes.

MBP CD2 DVI to VGA not working with projector

I am having issues getting the MBP to recognize a DELL 2300 projector through a DVI to VGA apple cable.
A few months ago there were posts about this, but no solutions. The problem seems to be with the 'INTEL' side of things, as the same projector with the same DVI to VGA apple cable works on an older G4 tower running 10.4.9. The projector also works on an old G4 iBook with it's version of a VGA adapter. To make things more confusing, a DVI to Video apple cable works with the DELL 2300 on my new MBP C2D-but produces a terrible quality picture. Mysteriously, my previous 1st generation MBP CD worked with the DELL 2300 via a DVI to VGA apple cable (but I'm not sure which OS was out at the time 10.4.8?)
My new MBP CD2 definately recognizes the projector through the DVI to VGA adapter, but the projector doesn't recognize the video signal from the computer. It is DEFINATELY the MBP (or universal drivers), as I have checked the DVI to VGA dongle (works), have checked the projector (works with an ibook running 10.4.8 OSX with VGA dongle), have changed resolution settings before and after connecting, have restarted computer, have tested various orders of connecting the projector and cables. STINK! (I also have TWO DVI to VGA adapters, so it is not a bad adapter). I have also played with exchanging various plist files from older universal versions of 10.4.8 that worked with the projector-no help.
As I stated, the projector will work (in horrible quality) with a DVI to Video dongle. Why it will not work with the DVI to VGA dongle is a mystery and annoying I would hope that a newer MBP CD2 would be plug and play (like my previous MBP CD and an old G4 tower and an old iBook G4...but no).
Any ideas, any help, any answers?

Here are the actors in our play today
1. MacBookPro A. (my system a CD2 2.16 with OSX 10.4.9)
2. MacBookPro B. (my friends system a CD2 2.16 with OSX 10.4.9)
3. an iBook (my friends 1.07 GHz G4 with 10.4.8 and a VGA adapter)
4. DELL 2300 MP projector
Plugged in DVI to VGA adapter to the virgin MacBookPro B (never had the projector plugged into it before) Dell projector shows that it recognizes an analog RGB 800X600 signal from MBP B. It projects a beautiful desktop. All is well for a moment.
In Display preferences we see for the MBP B
Color LCD, Display: 800X600 stretched, Colors: Millions, Refresh Rate: N/A
VGA Display
Now, I unplug the DVI to VGA adapter and naturally MBP B readjusts to it's native resolution. Great.
Now I immediately plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter. The computer and the projector searches for signal with none found, while the computer shows no attempt at an automatic readjustment as above (800X600 stretched).
I try the 'detect display' option. It causes computer to stall for a second (as it searches) but it does not detect projector and does not readjust it's own resolution to 800X600 stretched as it did initially. F7 key does nothing.
This is a problem!
So, I shut down the projector. I unplug the projector's power source and waited 20 seconds. plugged it back in, started projector back up.
I shut down/restarted the MBP B.
I plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter into the MBP B. The MBP B screen flashes to all blue, but does not automatically change to 800X600 stretched (remains at native resolution and does not recognize an external monitor/projector)
Enter the iBook!
I plug the iBook's VGA adapter into the projector. The projector shows that it recognizes an analog RGB 1024X768 60Hz signal and projects desktop screen immediately. Plug and play!
iBook display prefs reveal:
Color LCD, 1024X768, colors: Millions, Refresh rate: N/A
Color tab: Generic RGB Profile
VGA display, 1024X768, colors: Millions,
Now. I unplug adapter from iBook, iBook readjusts to native display
plugged back in adapter to iBook, immediately recognizes and displays projected desktop.
Scene 2: The FREAKY thing!
Now, I immediately (after unplugging the adapter from the iBook) change adapters to the DVI to VGA adapter and plug the projector into the MacBookPro B, whallla! Back in business. (computer screen adjusted to 800X600, and projector recognized signal).
Now, what about my computer? I unplug from MBP B and plug into MacBookPro A, and NOTHING...the computer doesn't automatically adjust to a new resolution, and the projector doesn't recognize any signal from the computer.
Ahhhh Freak out! Now, I plugged adapter back into MacBookPro B, and now back to NOTHING. MBP B no longer recognizes projector or readjusts it's resolution. Was something somehow corrupted?
Now, I plugged iBook VGA adapter back in, and iBook once again with it's awesome G4 technology (or dated video drivers or something) recognizes the projector in an instant and projects the screen.
Now, logically I try again to immediately unplug the adapter from the iBook and switch adapters and plug back into MacBookPro B-it worked once right? But, sorry, NOT twice. The mystery deepens.
Well, I think, maybe it is because I didn't restart MacBookPro B before attempting the switcharoo from iBook to MacBookPro.
So, I plug back into iBook-projector. And the iBook works immediately again.
I restart MacBookPro B and plug in to the freshly restarted MBP B...HOUSTON WE HAVE LIFT OFF! The MacBookPro B recognizes the projector and the projector kindly displays the desktop.
Now what about MacBookPro A...Last time, when I did the switcharoo, it corrupted something to cause the MBP B not to work. Let's try it again. Will this plug-unplug-restart-switch adapters-immediatly plug in technique work...let's see. I restart MBP A, and plug DVI to VGA adapter in. Sorry. Same ol' no signals recognized. MacBookPro A not auto readjusting resolution, and does not list any projector in display prefs.
Let's get crazy and immediately plug the adapter into the MacBookPro B...it works-oh so logical...NOT! Why wasn't it corrupted this time by MBP A? MacBookPro B readjusts its screen to 800X600 stretched and projector immediately recognizes and projects desktop.
Now lets see if I can break it again as before. I unplug it from MacBookPro B and back into MacBook Pro B, knowing that this caused it to stop working previously. And...it still works-WHAT? I do it a third time. It still works on MacBookPro B.
So,
I plug it back into MacBookPro A...still nothing. Back to MacbookPro B works like a charm. This time it struggles a bit showing that initially it sees a signal from MacBookPro B of 1192X900 (i Think), then the MacBookPro B switches automatically to 800X600 and the projector works.
Wait..I see something amiss! I see in my MBP A menu bar an icon for Labtick which MBP B does not have. I shut down Labtick, plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter and 'Boom' the projector is recognized.
I unplug DVI to VGA adapter and plug back in to MBP A and 'Boom' the projector is recognized again...no it couldn't be!
Well, it is possible it couldn't be because, I shut down the projector, unplug it's power source, plug it back in. I plug it back into the recently working MBP A with Labtick not running, and sorry folks, now the projector doesn't work again. The MBP A does not readjust it's resolution, nor recognize a projector and the projector doesn't recognize the MBP A.
Let's try the projector in MBP B....same deal. Now it doesn't work. Same symptoms of MBP A.
Back to the good ol' iBook. Of course it works.
Now switching over directly to a restarted MBP B. -DOESN'T WORK (as it did using this technique previously)
Now switching over to MBP A- DOESN'T WORK.
As you can see, it is hard even with multiple computers to find a series of doing things that consistently makes the projector work.
Any thoughts, ideas, ways to diagnose? Thanks!

About Olympus EP-1: ¿ Why Lightroom can't show difference between 2 RAW photos with different ISO?

When I take RAW+JPG photos with my new Olympus PEN EP-1 which the unique difference is ISO and I import in Ligtroom:
- I can see difference between JPG photos.
- I can´t see any difference between RAW photos (In Olympus Master or Olympus Studio I can see difference). The problem is Ligtroom

There are two sides to your question. I. should Lightroom read all embedded
tags to a RAW file, and II. can it even technically do it.
The problem is that all of tags such as this exposure compensation one,
sharpening, picture styles, etc. are embedded in proprietary file formats
that the manufacturers will not disclose the structure off. Adobe (and every
other RAW converter out there that is not made by the camera manufacturer)
has to hack into the file format to figure it out, so question II can be
answered by "probably not" This is not Adobe's fault, but that of the camera
manufacturers not using a standard RAW format. Interestingly, for camera
manufacturers that use a standard format such as DNG (think LEICA for
example), a lot of camera settings actually translate into Lightroom
settings.
For question I, you have to figure out where you draw the line. Which
settings, on top of simply white balance (which Lightroom reads of course)
should the program read and use? Myself I think the program should display
the RAW data as accurately as possible. In the case of the "ISO bracketing"
that is not really ISO bracketing, the RAW data did not change at all. The
program should reflect this, if only to make the user realize that it is a
useless experiment and only a waste of card space. That said, it would be
nice if some settings translate, but that is made really hard due to the
proprietary file format.
>Would I expect Adobe implements how Olympus E-P1 works in next versions ?
I doubt it, but maybe somebody at Adobe is adventurous enough to reverse
engineer/hack your files to figure out where the compensation tag is stored,
so you never know.
This is however a very uncommon situation to encounter. Why would anyone
bother ISO bracketing if the camera doesn't ISO bracket at all! You're
better off just dialing in extra or less exposure in post. For me the
advantages of LR over typically glacial and badly written manufacturer
software is so large that small issues such as this do not begin to add up
to an argument to change workflow. In the end that's all personal of
course.

Are there any differences between using Adobe Illustrator on a MAC and on a PC?

Hello,
I'm about go enroll in a class specialized for teaching Adobe Illustrator in order to be able to use the program at work. The company that I work at uses Macintosh computers to deal with clerical work and everything, so I would like to know if there are any differences between using Adobe Ilustrator on a MAC and on a PC. The school that offers training teaches two types of classes, where one uses Illustrator on a MAC, and the other one on a PC. The PC class is able to have an earlier start date, which is why I'm sort of leaning towards choosing that class as I need to be able to use the software as soon as possible, but if there are main differences between the interface that will affect my knowledge of using Illustrator on a MAC after I take the class with Windows systems, then I will most likely be waiting for the class teaching in MAC systems.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh and another suggestion- should I take the Illustrator class in CS6 or CS5?

Reading through the CS5 vs CS6 performance thread, the Mac version seems to have worse performance than Windows version. From a starter's perspective the differences would most likely never be realized. It will take some time to see differences between even CS5 and CS6 other than the visual aspect of course.
Definitely take the CS6 versionso you can say you have it. CS5 is my preferred version, CS6 is garbage with the bugs it has for the type of work I use it for.

How do I calculate the difference between periods in Crosstab

Using Discoverer 4.1 with 11i General Ledger.
I want to do a crosstab report that compares the differences in amounts from one period to another.
The table is:
ACCOUNT - PERIOD - AMOUNT
Down the left it will show the account number, across the top it will show this month and last month, and the data point is period net. I want a third column that will show the difference between them.
Example:
_______JAN-04___FEB-04__Change
4000____10.00____15.00____5.00
5000____20.00____30.00___10.00
6000____30.00____45.00___15.00
7000____40.00____60.00___20.00
Is this possible in Discoverer?

The only way I know of to do what you are asking is to create a calculated field (previous_period) using the lag function
lag(period_net,1) over (partition by account order by period) then create another calculated field (change) (period_net - previous_period). You might want to review the syntax of the lag function, I'm not sure it's exactly right, but it's in the ball park.
Hope this helps. If anyone else is got a better way, I would sure like to know, because this is causing us headaches also.
Thanks,
Carl Petersen
