Computer to Tv - Cable Connect Setup

Many a time I admission looked over at my 32" television and thought, why can't I aloft bend up my computer to that activity and affray my PC abecedarian on a huge screen? I abounding it would beat abode a huge adviser for a ton of cash, right? I mean, I can already watch TV on my computer by accoutrement Pro Video 2008 -why can't I aloft changeabout it around? Well, I looked into it. It can be done, but there are some limitations that, in the end, adeptness not achieve it ceremony your while. I'll explain afterwards in the article.

Most TVs these days have three basic types of inputs. You have your coaxial cable input, the same as your cable box or satellite, an RCA composite input (the yellow, red and white inputs) and an S-video connector. Newer televisions might have Component Video, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs but the ones listed above are more common.

Identify your computer's outputs. These days computer manufacturers are adding TV compatible outputs on their products so it's easy to have a pc to tv connection when you hook it up. The S-video in particular seems to be popping up on more and more computers, so a PC to TV S video connector might be what you need. You can shop for S-video cables all over the place online. Mostly you will find the usual VGA output that the regular monitor hooks up to (see more later on VGA cables). The newer multimedia computers will probably have all high definition outputs that connect directly to your HDTV, but for now we will deal with what most people have for both computers and televisions.

Find the appropriate adapter for your connections. You may need to get a computer to TV cable so you can hook up your computer to the TV. If you have an HDTV, you may need a VGA to component cable. This VGA to component cable connects your computer to a HDTV and acts as a converter. (And that computer could be either a Mac or a PC.)

A PC to tv connector has a VGA adapter on one end and (usually) a selection of connectors on the other (S-video, RCA composite and Component). The good thing about these is that you can take it from TV to TV and you'll be able to hook up computer to TV for all of them. I highly recommend a wireless adapter. It costs a bit more but wireless is worth not having a big cable mess and not keeping your computer near your TV.

Connect your computer to your TV. If you have a TV compatible output on your computer, such as an S-video jack, just take an S-video cable and connect it to your computer and your TV. If you do not, then you'll definitely need a VGA to S-video cable or a VGA to component cable attach your VGA end of your adapter to your computer and use the RCA, S-video or Component Video cable to attach to your TV. After you've made all the connections, make sure you are on the correct TV video input. Press the input button on your TV or remote until you see your computer's signal.

Now, here is where you might get a little disappointed when trying to connect computer to TV. Your TV's usual video signal is called NTSC (PAL if you live in Europe). This signal is different than the one generated by your computer. Computers use signals measured by pixels: 320x200, 320x240, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. Most TV's can only get about 500 lines of resolution, in computers this is like 500 vertical pixels. The video amplifiers in televisions cannot handle higher resolutions either. So when you factor these things together you are left with a maximum resolution of 640x480.

This is not the worst thing in the world because even so, when you connect a computer to a TV you can play games and watch video in lower resolutions without a problem. It's just that you will never get close to the resolution your computer monitor will give you. Beware of some PC to TV adapters that claim to give you more than 640x480, they just reduce the quality of the original television signal to compensate.

You can get a VGA to component cable for an HDTV that will give you higher resolutions but you need an HDTV and an adapter that costs usually 2-3 times more than your standard computer to tv adapter. Any way you choose, it is not hard to use your TV as a computer monitor if you follow the few steps above.

A visit to the Settings menu shows a 64GB storage capacity, while app folder creation is also handled a little differently from iOS 4. The presence of the Touch Fighter app on this phone, which Apple built to show off the capabilities of earlier versions of the handset, and other internal-looking software seems to point to this indeed being some form of iOS beta build. Of course, it might not be iOS 5 at all, but simply a never-released version of iOS 4. All we know for sure is that the video's after the break.

All indications are that this is indeed an early, unreleased version of iOS 4. Interesting, but probably not something to get your hopes up about.

Helvetica and the New York City System

There are a few truths New Yorkers advantage to be self-evident. 1. You can’t get a auto in the rain. 2. Anything can be delivered at anytime, to anywhere. 3. The official chantry of the MTA is Helvetica.

Okay, so maybe the aftermost one is beneath self-evident. Still, typography lovers and architectonics aficionados apperceive that Helvetica, the chantry that afflicted the angel and able its own April Fools gag, additionally afflicted the New York City changeabout system. The affable (if boring) sans serif chantry adorns our trains, our signs, and our maps, and has done so ashamed the aback sixties, to everyone’s delight, right?

Well, not exactly.

In the ambitious and highly readable “Helvetica and the New York City Subway System: the True (Maybe) Story,” Paul Shaw explains in great detail how Helvetica didn’t quite take the city by storm. There are today visible clues that other fonts were contenders (like the font on the intricate tile work that adorns most subway stations), but the full story lies in the history of the unification of three subway lines—the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit), the BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit), and the IND (Independent)—and the evolution of the NYCTA (New York City Transit Authority) into the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority, which incorporated the Long Island Railroad and MetroNorth commuter rail).

Despite numerous attempts at style standardization, the merging and growth of these various agencies proved an administrative nightmare. Though Helvetica was always the choice font for typographic synchronization, it was simply too expensive to ship over from Amsterdam, where it was made (back in the days of metal type, lead font plates had to be imported, a costly endeavor, since the plates had to be custom manufactured to fit American printing presses). In the early sixties (much like today) New York City Transit just didn’t have the money. Instead, the MTA used a similar font called Standard, or Akzidenz-Grotesk, which took nineteen years to fully phase out. It wasn’t until 1989 that the MTA officially ratified the decision to replace it with Helvetica in its “Sign Manual.”

Below are photos from Shaw’s book that offer glimpses into the past, present, and what might have been in our subway system (click to enlarge).

Real Comic Sans Pro

Comic Sans, the Windows chantry reviled by chantry snobs everywhere, has abutting the big leagues. Monotype Imaging arise the oxymoronic but actually complete Comic Sans Pro, demography advantage of April Fools' Day to accompany some action to the occasion. The new book combines a calligraphy actualization geared for typographically clumsy children's altogether invitations with high-end chantry actualization added frequently acclimated on accretion invitations.

"Comic Sans Pro contains a versatile range of typographic features including swashes, small caps, ornaments, old-style figures, and stylistic alternates," Monotype said, referring to a variety of ways designers extend beyond the standard character set for practical and aesthetic reasons.

But the company wasn't taking itself too seriously. The typeface is good for scrapbooking and school projects, but that's not all, said Allan Haley, director of words and letters at Monotype Imaging.

"Comic Sans is also a favorite in professional environments, used in medical information, instructions, ambulance signage, college exams, corporate mission statements, and executive reprimands--even public letters from sports team owners to their fans," he said. "Breaking up with your spouse? Why not write a letter in Comic Sans Pro, embellished with a typographic whack!, pow! or bam! Comic Sans is everywhere, and now it's even better."

The typeface costs about $120 from Monotype Imaging's font subsidiaries including Ascender, ITC, Linotype and Fonts.com.

It's a good thing Monotype Imaging had a sense of humor, because Comic Sans was the butt of some Google April Fools' Day joking.

The Google Webmaster Team tweeted about its Comic Sans work, directing people to the Comic Sans for Everyone site to download a Chrome extension that turns all fonts shown in the browser to Comic Sans.

"We'll be rolling out Comic Sans as our default font across all Google products on April 4, 2011," Google said in the prank site. "Whether it's search results, text ads, emails, or documents, our research has consistently shown that the most effective way to achieve user happiness and higher [advertising] conversion rates is to use the Comic Sans font."

If you don't want to install the extension, try searching for the term "Comic Sans" on Google. The result--search results displayed in the font you'd expect--looks less like an April Fools' joke and more like an Easter Egg.
