10/6/09 Tech Tuesday on Protecting Your Precious Electronics from Power Problems
0 comments Posted by shopping-team at 6:45 PMAccording to FEMA electrical fires kill almost 500 people and injure over 2000 more. Most are caused by poor maintenance of electrical appliances, incorrectly installed wiring, overloaded circuits and extension cords. The holiday season is quickly approaching when we all start to decorate and use our electronics more heavily. In fact, I have already seen Halloween decorations in many neighborhoods. This is a very relevant topic as December is the most dangerous month for electrical fires. I have made 3 quick tips that you can try that could protect your precious electronics and perhaps even your life. 1) Don't Daisy Chain Power strips This is more common than you think. Daisy chaining power strips is when you plug one power strip into the other. I'm not sure why but most people feel comfortable doing this but it is a bad practice. Daisy chaining results in a spread of the potential surge overload across both strips evenly. Where an overload of X size would trip one power strip, when two are connected 2X the overload is required to cause a trip to occur and so on. In short this practice puts everything you plug into the power strips at risk. It's just not worth it when a good quality extension cord can solve the problem. 2) UPS for Desktop Computer Power surges and brown conditions can burn out computer power supplies and even cook the computer all together. At minimum a new computer power supply is around $100 to replace and if your computer gets fried, well then there's ...

FPV Groundstation, new recording device - problems with EMTEC Movie Cube P800
0 comments Posted by shopping-team at 7:15 PMPlease help me with this picture problems! Emtec Movie Cube P800 is used for recording my analogue signal over chinch cable which gets it's picture over a wireless 2,4GHz receiver. Problem as you can see: every second you get a ugly color distorsion. Tried the following: another wireless receiver (from fatshark video goggles) - same problem. the same video transmitter works fine when using my old USB capture device - so I see no problem in the wireless transmission of the image! Setting various resolutions in the P800 changes no thing. If I connect a videosource directly only by cable (Sony Camcorder with Chinch-Out) there is no such distortion. I did't try the lower quality recording modes yet - but I don't think they will change a thing... A slight chance may be an firmware upgrade... (fw upgrade was not possible today- another story) another FPV cam (with 420TVLines resolution instead of 480) = same problem! FINDOUT 1: when cam is in BW mode - the distortions are gone: www.youtube.com Please comment if you have a tip! Background: FPV Recorder I bought a new mpg2 recorder which seems quite a good solution for FPV video recording: 2 USB Hostports (you can connect USB Stick or HDD for recording onto it. Even an SD Cardslot for recording on SD Card! Power consumption is OK: about 350mah for 20mins of recording (it uses 5v) that would make 1000mah for one hour. A cheap 2cell lipo with voltage regulator will be fine here. Recording CONTINUES after a bad signal (or even if ...
