New M6500 Discussion Thread

Anyone with the new system and USB3 get the webcam working?
I cant get it to work, shows up in device manager but applications like skype says there is a problem and windows7 printers and drivers does not show it.

Is there some software or driver needed for the new cam?

 

Ok, the next thing I would do is go to device manager, right click on the USB 3 device, and select uninstall. If you have the option to delete the drivers, don't. Restart the computer and allow the drivers to reinstall themselves. Please let us know what happens.

 

Tony, I went with m7740 - there was a big (and unjustified IMO) price differential for the non-Covet between the two cards in the UK at product launch, so it was a no-brainer for me. Graphic related performance on CS4 seems good - better than my desktop's Nvidia (albeit an older card) - and I can 'see' a number of the accelerations working on CS4 although I've not benchmarked anything. Especially given that you have the desktop for heavy duty work, I don't think you'd be disappointed with the M7740. I haven't used the machine for any video work yet, although I got the impression from reading elsewhere that support for the Nvidia was more mature for video processing in a number of products.

Sort of like > $500 US for a blu-ray drive.

 

I had the same experience (and reaction) as Keith.

I had 18 nits at 0%, 121 nits at 33%, 140 nits calibration target came in at 39% and 100% brightness gave me the advertised 300 nits (actually 302). I'm happy with 33% in a domestic environment, use 50% in a much brighter office and settled on 39% for critical stuff - which matches my other screens nicely which are calibrated for the 140 nit semi-standard. The calibration performed at 33% (or at 39%) holds very well at all brightnesses on the native NTSC colour space mode selection. I have A02 bios, the ATI card with the A01 driver, Samsung RGBLED and am using Spyder 3 for calibration.

I just set up Skype and had a video conference. My system has USB 3 though not sure where I need to check for it's being enabled currently. My camera shows in webcam central on the right side of the taskbar.

Paul....I'm curious where you see ntsc color space selection. I only note a lot of profiles in WCS and simply don't use them at all or any nvidia control. I load my profile is all in color management as a default profile.There may be a setup I am missing.

Just tried to uninstall and restart, same thing. This time windows failed to install the driver...

 

so frustrating. Do you know if anyone has actually physically got USB 3.0 to work? or at least install the drivers sucessfully?
