    Not that I can find to do. I think that it (the program) would be confused as to which frame it should link to. I tried Step&Repeat, Copy&Paste, and Duplicate. No luck.

    It starts with the formatting of your source data. If you need it four-up, you need your data the same way.

    Column 1 – Name Column 2 – Street Column 3 – City/State Column 4 – Zip Column 5 – Name(2) Column 6 – Street(2), etc…..

    So if you do four-up on a sheet, you’ll need four sets of data going across in your columns.

    But still…..-10dBFS is when referencing -20dBFS as 0VU.

    From the Technical Operating Specifications of PBS:

    “3.1.1 The operating level for reference tone and
    legacy analog system calibration is -20 dBFS per
    SMPTE RP155.

    3.1.2 Programs are to have average loudness levels
    that fall between -28 dBFS and -20 dBFS during the
    majority of a program as measured on a digital meter
    calibrated to the RMS/VU ballistic. Average loudness
    should not go above -17 dBFS at any point during the
    program.

    3.1.3 Programs are permitted to have audio levels
    that regularly peak near but not above the following
    limits using a digital peak meter:
    SD: -10 dBFS
    HD: -3 dBFS.

    3.1.4 Programs must be mixed using dialog level
    LAeq metering or subsequent ATSC standard
    method. They must have dialog levels with a value of
    -24 dBFS ±2 dB. Programs may have peak music or
    effects levels up to the level limits specified in 3.1.3
    during moments of dramatic impact, as long as dialog
    levels are maintained as specified.

    3.1.5 Producers must maintain music and effects
    levels sufficiently below dialog to insure that a wide
    variety of viewers can understand the dialog upon
    first viewing, in home conditions with high ambient
    noise and moderate program levels.”

  • My GUESS on the situation:

    The lobbying group is mostly representing commercial broadcast manufacturers. They are “disguising” their efforts by saying they are interests are in “the people”. The story being that people have invested greatly into HD and now that the transition is complete, they are finding out that they may not receive the same stations they once did. The digital signal does not travel as far as the analog. The same problem occurs with HD-radio. Of course, they have the answer – buy more transmitters!

    December 7, 2009 at 1:20 am in reply to: Printers not accepting photoshop

    I wouldn’t want a photoshop file for the entire artwork. (Individual logos or photos is what photoshop would be good for.) The reason is that photoshop will rasterize the entire file. In order to get a good print the file should be 600dpi or more. (When color separated, the plates will print at 1800 – 2400 dpi!!) A full page of rasterized graphics would be a huge file!! In addition, the fonts would not be as crisp and there maybe some difficulty in trapping.

    I always prefer an Indy file.

    Two things:
    1. Do these “errors” appear in your Indy document when you turn on separations preview?
    2. What settings did you use that produced better pdfs, but gave you white boxes? (I assume it flattened your transparencies, rather than leaving them live.) Did you try the preset “high quality print”?

    “But I’d prefer something that has more positive action on the switches. You can’t monitor these devices (or you’d be using wireless anyway), so I want to turn it on, put it into the talent’s pocket, and be SURE that it won’t be turned off if he brushes against a table or sits down in a racecar, etc. I don’t mind the lack of XLR, because that obviously just isn’t very likely!”

    I think this applies to iPod as well.

    https://www.apple.com/macmini/server/

    QMaster works with other macs on the network as well. It can detect what family & speed of processor each computer has and split the files accordingly.

    So is there anyone with a successful experience in installing FCS 3 on any Mac mini?
