![]() ![]() SPDIF optical digital audio and HDMI connections are your two main choices when connecting your AV receiver or soundbar to your source media. When hooking up your audio system for your computer, HDTV, cable/satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, and so forth, you usually use an optical digital-audio connection or an HDMI cable since that can carry sound just fine on its own. Let’s now discuss the nitty-gritty of this article, which is how HDMI connections for audio use compare to the S/PDIF audio linkage standard. For the purposes of this article, we’ll be covering the audio aspect of HDMI connections and HDMI cables, since they’re capable of transporting uncompressed or compressed LPCM audio along with video formats, waveforms, auxiliary data, and VESA EDID implementations in accordance to EIA/CEA-861 standards. These devices could be any range of appliances, such as a digital audio device, AV receiver, digital television, HDTV, video projector, compatible computer monitors in lieu of VGA connections, and so forth.īecause it’s the current standard for HD streams and content that has outdone its peers DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and DP (DisplayPort), expect there to be a whole load of HDMI converters that allow you to play source media of an older vintage on an HDTV. It’s the de facto standard for the transmission of uncompressed video data and uncompressed/compressed digital audio feeds from a source media device that’s HDMI-compliant. High-Definition Multimedia Interface or HDMI is a propriety A/V interface and connection standard. Those formats require a larger amount of bandwidth than what S/PDIF can provide. It does have limits though, like its inability to support lossless surround formats. It also carries 2 channels of compressed 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound like the one found in the DTS audio codec or uncompressed PCM audio for the highest quality and clearest sound possible without any distortion, audible pop, or scratchy static whatsoever that is reminiscent of the sound you hear when you’re frying something in oil. S/PDIF also can be sent over Toslink optical connections.įurthermore, the standard is based on AES3 Interconnect. The most common connector used for S/PDIF is an RCA coaxial connector. SPDIF interconnects components in digital hi-fi systems such as home theaters with AV receivers. The signal is supposed to travel over a fiber optic cable with TOSLINK connectors or a coaxial cable with RCA connectors. ![]() Ostensibly, it was developed through the combined forces of Philips and Sony. It’s a type of digital audio connection standard used in consumer audio appliances and equipment for short-distance audio output. SPDIF or S/PDIF refers to the Sony/Philips Digital Interface. In particular, HDMI is fast becoming the de facto connection for soundbars, speakers, and AV receivers versus SPDIF or even TOSLINK the same way it took HDTV by storm. ![]() When it comes to SPDIF vs HDMI, it’s mostly a debate regarding sound connections instead of one concerning video connections. You can’t always default to using HDMI for everything, especially when SPDIF is instead available. HDMI cables are all-around devices that can outdo its SPDIF counterpart in certain respects, but you shouldn’t underestimate the value of a SPDIF connection either. Because HDMI cables can deliver audio as well as video, they’re also used for connecting media sources to AV receivers and the like, making it a viable competition against S/PDIF or SPDIF and optical/TOSLINK cables as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other calls, to CompositeLoops for instance, weren’t slowed as badly as that. One matching call to render_tile, for instance, took 12.1 ms when running native, and 77.5 ms in the VM. ![]() ![]() Graphics Signpost performance was invariably slower in the VM than when running macOS natively, but this varies greatly between different procedures. However, you can’t run the Geekbench graphics benchmark in a VM. Running standard CPU-based benchmarks like Geekbench demonstrates that raw CPU performance is only slightly below that attained when running in native macOS, which is impressive. Performance also varies considerably according to the operation being undertaken. Parallels claims that version 15 works directly with Metal in Mojave and Catalina, and the evidence from these Signposts confirms that. When the VM was running, the host log consisted of a great many CompositeLoops with interspersed CoreAnimation Commit events. The VM required a longer sequence of more basic rendering operations, which appear to be short-circuited when running in native macOS. When running in the native macOS, direct use of the GPU was seen in gpu_compute calls, which didn’t appear in the VM logs, nor in the host log when the VM was being used. There are some obvious differences between the three logs. when opening SilentKnight in the VM, analysing the Signposts in the VM’s log and the log of the host macOS too, over the same time period.when opening SilentKnight in the host macOS, without the VM running.I then examined the Signposts written by macOS during that period of less than twenty seconds, e.g. Once it had downloaded the information it required, I moved its window on the screen. I then opened my app SilentKnight at one second past the minute (e.g. I quit all open apps apart from the Finder. The software tool which I’m using to obtain performance measurements from macOS is my own RouteMap, which analyses the many Signposts written to the unified log by macOS sub-systems. Parallels does run very nicely in Catalina too, but because that’s still in beta, I felt it best not to try measuring performance there just yet. I’m looking at Parallels Desktop 15 hosted on macOS Mojave 10.14.6, and running the same macOS in its VM. To investigate this, I’ve been using my normal desktop Mac, a base model iMac Pro with an 8-core Intel Xeon W running at 3.2 GHz, 32 GB of memory, and a Radeon Pro Vega 56 graphics card and its 8 GB of memory. Will your VM run like an old Intel Core Duo iMac, and be almost unusable? This article looks at some answers to that question, using performance measurements built into macOS rather than artificial benchmarks. One major concern with any form of software virtualisation is how it will perform. ![]() If you need to retain access to key 32-bit apps, or anything else which won’t run in Catalina, a VM running Mojave or earlier is a highly practical solution, and very straightforward to set up using the latest Parallels Desktop 15. It’s a standard tool for security researchers, and for many developers, but of little advantage to others – until Catalina drops support for 32-bit software, that is. Before the arrival of Catalina, relatively few Mac users needed to run an older version of macOS in a Virtual Machine (VM). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s 19, she’s 32 he’s obsessed with rules, she’s on probation.įeldman, a 21-year-old Broadway star (“Dear Evan Hansen”) in his first starring film role, shines as Percy, the anxious, cautious foil to Maddie’s reckless wild child.

Despite that, ENERGY STAR is still the simple choice to save on your utility bills. There are more lighting options available today than ever before. Why should I choose ENERGY STAR certified LED lighting products? As a result, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat. Incandescent bulbs produce light using electricity to heat a metal filament until it becomes “white” hot or is said to incandesce. The UV light is transformed into visible light when it strikes a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb. This reaction produces ultraviolet (UV) light and heat. In a CFL, an electric current flows between electrodes at each end of a tube containing gases. ![]() Colored LEDs are widely used as signal lights and indicator lights, like the power button on a computer. Phosphor is a yellowish material that covers some LEDs. To produce white light, different color LEDs are combined or covered with a phosphor material that converts the color of the light to a familiar “white” light used in homes. However, it also means that sophisticated engineering is needed to produce an LED light bulb that shines light in every direction.Ĭommon LED colors include amber, red, green, and blue. That means LEDs are able to use light and energy more efficiently in a multitude of applications. LEDs are “directional” light sources, which means they emit light in a specific direction, unlike incandescent and CFL, which emit light and heat in all directions. ![]() When designed well, LED lighting is more efficient, versatile, and lasts longer. LED lighting differs from incandescent and fluorescent in several ways. How is LED lighting different than other light sources, such as incandescent and Compact Fluorescent (CFL)? Regardless of the heat sink design, all LED products that have earned the ENERGY STAR have been tested to ensure that they properly manage the heat so that the light output is properly maintained through the end of its rated life. Today, advancements in materials have allowed manufacturers to design LED bulbs that match the shapes and sizes of traditional incandescent bulbs. LED products use a variety of unique heat sink designs and configurations to manage heat. The higher the temperature at which the LEDs are operated, the more quickly the light will degrade, and the shorter the useful life will be. Thermal management is generally the single most important factor in the successful performance of an LED over its lifetime. This keeps LEDs from overheating and burning out. LEDs use heat sinks to absorb the heat produced by the LED and dissipate it into the surrounding environment. LEDs offer a tremendous opportunity for innovation in lighting form factors and fit a wider breadth of applications than traditional lighting technologies. There are also hybrid approaches where a non-traditional “bulb” or replaceable light source format is used and specially designed for a unique fixture. Some LED light fixtures may have LEDs built in as a permanent light source. Some LED bulb solutions may physically resemble familiar light bulbs and better match the appearance of traditional light bulbs. Small in size, LEDs provide unique design opportunities. LEDs are incorporated into bulbs and fixtures for general lighting applications. ![]() ![]() It refers to non-sexual relationships with men who go out on dates and provide financial assistance.

Still, despite these occasions when the normal behavior doesn’t work, Dr. The ebb tide will serve to help them drift away from the beaches, but the wind initiated currents may be stronger.” Also, if there is a wind pushing them toward a shore on an ebb tide, they may become stranded. ![]() So, a jelly may be less likely to drift out of a shallow area and less likley to avoid stranding. In that case, the ebb stream may no longer be very strong and it may be very thin. For example, in some jellies, swimming toward the surface doesn’t occur until the water has become quite shallow. The behaviours don’t always occur at the optimum time. Their behaviour has to be looked at statistically. Albert says, “Moon jellies have behaviours that help them avoid stranding. When moon jellies reverse their normal behavior in shallow water to position themselves near the surface, they place themselves in that ebb flow and get carried out into deeper water. That seaward flow at the surface is called an ebb flow. When waves break in shallow water and then recede, the overall flow of water is shoreward at the bottom and seaward at the surface. Albert has studied the behavior of moon jellies and has found that while they normally keep themselves a meter or two (about six feet) away from the surface of the water, if they bump into or sense the bottom in shallow water, they swim up and stay near the surface for some period of time. It turns out, however, that moon jellies have behaviors that almost always keep them off the beach.ĭr. So it seems like it might be pretty easy for a moon jelly to end up on the sand, doomed to disintegrate and be picked up by beach goers. By angling in one direction or another, they get some directional control, but for the most part, they can swim up and float down. But although they can swim by pulsing their bell to push themselves through the water, they’re not exactly strong swimmers. How do They Get on the Beach?: A moon jelly doesn’t want to be on the beach, of course. ![]() ![]() ![]() By default we will sharpen as much of the blade as possible including any false edges if appropriate. The blades are rested between passes to prevent them from becoming hot and damaging their temper. The process involves many passes with sanding belts of various grits. The sharpening service is done with a belt sander. We adjust the angle of the edge to suit the specific blade and attempt to get as close to a bevel-less edge as possible without marring the surface of the blade. Some blades will take and hold sharper edges than others and the thickness of the blade will determine how wide the bevel will need to be. The resulting edge is somewhat dependent on the particular blade. The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. Consider this as a general guideline only. The Edge ratings in particular are somewhat subjective and each blade can vary. This info is provided to give you a good idea of the product being presented, the one you receive may vary from the specific one we took measurements of. Please note: Due to the hand made nature of these items, all specs should be considered as approximates. However for reasons we won’t get into here, this is not the case. A common misconception is that swords should all be “razor sharp”. Moderately Sharp is close, but may need to be touched up to get the best performance. Possible values could be “Rebated” meaning the edge is intentionally thickened for safety, “Blunt” meaning the edge is fairly thick with little to no taper, ‘Unsharpened” which would taper to the edge but stop short of having any real cutting ability, “Slightly Sharp, Moderately Sharp, Sharp, or Very Sharp” Sharp or Very Sharp are considered good for cutting swords. The “Edge” spec will tell you about how sharp a blade is. A very high POB will result in a sword that feels heavier than it actually is and is difficult to wield. In general, a low POB results in good point control well suited to a thrusting blade, while a higher POB adds impact to a cleaving blade. A POB of 3”- 5” usually results in a well balanced sword, but does depend on the type of sword. ![]() In practice however, there are many reasons why you may not want this for a particular sword. In theory a sword with a POB of 0” is perfectly balanced. A number of 0” would balance exactly at the guard, while a negative number will have a POB in the hilt itself. It refers to the point on the blade where the sword achieves a perfect balance. stands for Point Of Balance, this is measured in inches from the hilt down the blade.
