DV Rack Field Guide

This section is designed to get you on the road to shooting better video quickly. “Before Recording” walks you through setting up to get great quality shots before you hit the Record button. “Recording” tells you how to improve your video while you’re rolling and review your clips for problems before leaving the shoot. If you’d like to learn about each component in detail, see The DV Rack Components and see Arranging DV Rack Components.

Step 1 – Connect Your Camera and Start DV Rack

  1. Connect your camera’s FireWire cable to your computer.
  2. Turn on your computer and ensure that your camera is plugged in or has sufficient battery power.
    If you’d like to simultaneously record to tape while recording to your hard drive, insert a tape into your camera and use your camera’s record control.
    NOTE: Some cameras may not support this functionality.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Scripting Guide

Photoshop Object Model
A document object model (DOM) is an application programming interface (API), which allows you to programmatically access various components of a document (as defined for that application) through a scripting language. For additional information about Adobe object models and the scripting languages that support them, see Introduction to Scripting.

The Photoshop DOM consists of a hierarchical representation of the Photoshop application, the documents used in it, and the components of the documents. The DOM allows you to programmatically access and manipulate the document and its components. For example, through the DOM, you can create a new document, add a layer to an existing document, or change the background color of a layer. Most of the functionality available through the Photoshop user interface is available through the DOM.

A good understanding of the Photoshop DOM, and how each aspect of the DOM relates to the Photoshop application and its documents will make script writing easier.

MERLIN SERVER – The Quick Start Guide for collaborative project management

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to this quick start guide for Merlin Server!
Thank you for choosing the leading software solution for project management on the Mac. This document will introduce you to Merlin Server’s basic functionality.

System requirements
To run Merlin you will at least need an Apple Macintosh computer with G4 processor and Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. We highly recommend the latest version of Mac OS X 10.6. Merlin 2.7.x is required since previous versions of Merlin can not access the projects shared with Merlin Server.

Free Trial mode
The trial mode allows you to run Merlin Server with Web-Sharing at 15 minute increments. After this period, Merlin Server must be restarted. All functions of the iPhone-Sharing are activated for projects with up to 40 activities. The 15 minute time limit also applies.

INSTALLING MERLIN SERVER
Merlin Server is a “Preferences Pane”:

  1. Double click on “MerlinServer.prefPane“ to automatically start it.

Towards the Semantic Web

Motivation for the Semantic Web
Original driver: Automation

  • it would be nice if computers could do more (on the Web)
  • solution: make information on the Web more “machine-friendly”
  • origins of the Semantic Web are in web metadata

Short term goal: Interoperability

  • combining information from multiple sources
  • Web Services: discovery, composition
  • “serendipitous” interoperability

Long term goal: “Departure from the Tool Paradigm”

  • instead of using computers like tools, make them work on our behalf
  • removing humans from the loop to the extent possible

Problem: Web was built for humans

  • human interpretation needed to “understand” content (this does not scale)
  • consequently, automation is difficult
  • it is particularly difficult to automate “unforeseen” situations

Rough solution: make the Web friendlier for machines

  • we need “machine-understandable” content (not “machine-readable”, we
    already have that)

The Case for the Tablet PC in Health Care

In today’s demanding, fast-paced, and mobile medical world, we can’t always have access to a desktop computer and paper patient charts. The result – a lack of information and resources, often at critical moments — is a primary cause of problems or delays in providing optimal patient care, and contributes to inefficient work flow. In addition, being forced to work with paper can result in manual data entry, lost patient information, and an increase in medical errors.

The Tablet PC, with its versatile form that supports pen navigation, and the capability to write directly on the screen and convert to printed text, offers today’s mobile health care workers the ability to revolutionize the ways they work by making it easy to capture, access, and use information wherever the job takes them.

For health professionals, the Tablet PC provides unmatched access to critical information while on the go, and the ability to naturally record and securely share patient information and ideas.
