Connecting your MacBook Pro to a beamer with a 25m VGA Cable

Yesterday when I did some blinkbilders at Im Frühtau, I encountered an average problem with connecting my MacBook to the beamer: It didn’t work. Obviously the signal was too low for the software to believe that there was a beamer connected (25 meters is a long distance for a VGA-Cable). After 2 hours I found out how to solve it: I used a shorter cable for the connection, left the DVI-adapter plugged in, disconnected the shorter cable and re-connected the longer cable. Tadaa! It worked fine.

Caution: If you let your Macbook go to sleep or disconnect the DVI-adapter, it won’t work again and you have to repeat the whole short-cable-long-cable-procedure. Maybe this helps someone…

Sony HDR-HC1E + Rode VideoMic = Error

Two days before I bought a Rode VideoMic for my Sony HDR-HC1E because I wanted to get a sound quality that fits to the very high quality of the HDV-Cam. The first problem was that Sony doesn’t use the standard hot-foot for microphones but a special Sony-foot that only works with two or three Sony-microphones that are real shit (I tested them)!!! You can see the solution on the photograph:

(Bad photograph, I know, but I’m too lazy to take another one)

The second problem was that I always had some weird distorsions when I was recording with the mic. That was not what I wanted wen I bought it. The solution was to adjust the recording-level of the camera manual and lower than 50%. I think maybe the signal that comes out the mic is to strong for the cam.

I would be very happy if anyone else had some more suggestions what to do…

EDIT : It was actually the microphone, I changed it after two visits at the shops, and it works perfectly now! Very good quality!
