calibrate on the other monitor is what I did, but it was impossible to get the apple invisible…it was out of range……so I assume a port issue. I guess, I ll have to go to the shop tomorrow..
hmpf. How to work on now? 2morrow night audience is going to b there…

AHHHH, something else comes to my mind: Before I worked with THIS Beamer I worked with another a few days earlier (but then with mini display port to VGA) but there my image was fine!! Immediately when I switched beamer (in the beginning still with VGA) the image was dark. I switched back and the image was fine. So, is a port issue still possible then?

And if it is about calibrating the monitor, how can he play fine with the other MB without being calibrated there as well?

thnx Shane, in any case 🙂

The other monitor plays to dark with everything I send from my computer (movies, pictures….) But it DOES play fine with another 13″ MBP and with exactly the same connections and adapter. (mini display port to HDMI)

I tried calibration: Opened calibrate on the other monitor and tried to get the apple invisible in the stripes, but it is not possible! So the image stays to dark….only if I completely overexpose (with this apple image in calibration) the final image is good…

A question: Do I have to calibrate with the calibration window on MY screen or on the EXTERNAL monitor screen? I did the second option till now..

AND if the calibration of the monitor is not right than how come it plays fine with the other MBP?
It must be my output!???

thanks!

Thank you Shane,

I still don’t understand,
how come that the 13″ MBP plays everything fine?
And should the beamer not play a normal movie just fine? I am not really talking about a GREAT image, just one on which everything is visible and not a way to dark image…

It feels as if I am overlooking something..

I did that because the footage includes a lot of movement and in my experience I keep having these ugly interlaced stripes. grrr
so I thought this might solve the problem.

Would you advise to re render the sequence with apple prores field dominance set to lower?
Or better to keep it DV PAL anamorphic, as the origin?

[Jessica Van rüschen]

thank you for your response,

I set the field dominance of the prores seq to ‘none’ and rendered fully after.
Now I made a try with seq settings to fotojpeg 75%, field dominance again none.

Same result.

I did not try until now however to just keep everything interlaced and also keep DV PAL,

what step would you suggest?
There are also very bad interlaced lines in the final DVD with both codecs (prores and jpeg) although both have the field dominance set to none and the interlaced check in the compressor settings UNchecked.

Maybe there is my mistake???
