I haven't experienced this, sorry. 
Perhaps a display management utility might help you get the compatible settings. (not the tool I was looking for... another has X in the name I believe and has been posted about in the forum in the past)

@tomthebom are you able to take a screenshot please? Seems like a GUI issue. 

@dusx Wow Ryan Bravo !!!!!! Fantastic !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

If you use tungsten pars with a red green and blue filter in front even at low intensity it will emit a lot of IR light. This shouldn't Change, but you can change all the other lights IF you filter them out of your IR camera.

@skulpture your signature has more windows than mac so here are a few possible tips. 

Use always up https://www.coretechnologies.c... to run Isadora as a service - you can lock out other apps kind of a kiosk mode when there isnt one

This looks intersting thank you. I use one called 'Restart on Crash' it kept a museum install going for over a year for me. The one you have suggested look way better. Thanks.

Next - to hide the toolbar - you can use the overscan settings for your monitor - not the best solution, but it basically zooms in on the output using your GPU - no overhead and no real settings - once it is set for a screen it should just remember it.

A good idea - I will consider it. But I think I am goin gto use the stage output and use the stage mouse watcher. 

last - not sure if this is appropriate but if you switch to using a touch screen and disable as much of the keyboard assist as you can (not 100% possible in windows but you get close), and then re calibrate with the over scan you get a pretty convincing kiosk like display.

We are using a 'proper' touch screen kiosk - I am not sure on the make/model but its one of those portrait ones you see in museums/train stations, etc. It has a built in computer with decent spec. 

Last - lots of extra work, but a cool option an OSC browser based control panel - https://github.com/colinbdclar... this library will let you use web based UI elements that send and receive OSC - chrome has an excellent kiosk mode that works well on most OS's and perfectly on Linux - this means you can run just about any old trash machine to do your UI and pass it on to Isadora.

Brilliant will look at this too. If not for this project I am sure it will be handy. At a glance it seems similar toOpen Stage Control and OSCAR 

As always thanks @fred. 

 

@dusx Thanks! Gave it a try at 6 / 8 / and 11 — still crashing the movie players around 15 minutes into the cycle. I truly don't understand what changed. 

@reload2024 8K is going to be expensive, the controllers dont seem to have drifted down to the cheap gear yet.

Maybe 2x 4K to 1 to 4 video wall controllers will do: https://www.aliexpress.com/ite...

These are so cheap you can buy spares - there sure wont be a warranty service.

The good news is that you can now get a good video card - the NVS 810 does have a lot of outputs but only 4gb memory and it is very old tech.

The little scene name buttons at the bottom of the page are all grey, and turn blue when active, pale blue when active in the background and red when using blind mode. But would it be useful to be able to change the default state colour independently? kind of like the new coloured actor titles, you could create groups of scenes just by changing the button colour. I guess the palette might need to be restricted so it doesn't interfere with the functional colour changes, but a right click - simple palette selector (a bit like the slots in Ableton) might be useful. Even a choice of 4 different greys would be nice. What do you think? 

 I'll add this to the existing feature request.

@citizenjoe

numbers 2 and 4 seem to be contradictory. 

@fred said:

Although these have a test pattern generator, I would make some complex test pattterns for them to line things up accurately, One (annoying to make) would be an imager at the native resoltuion of the projector with alternating lines of R, G and B pixels, you can cut the image into 8 sections and alternate vertical stripes and horizontal. This will make it easy to see if the pixels are spot on as the colours will change if they are not.

 Especially Panasonic projectors (they where my main job machines), have an internal grid pattern which can be set to one of the rgb colors. If you set one projector to a specific color (eg. red) and a second to another (e.g. green), they mix to a third color (e.g. yellow) if they perfectly match. This makes it very easy to identify miss matches and even the direction to shift/warp.

Some projectors offer the option to set the whole system to one of the RGB basic streams. This way every every test pattern becomes monochromatic.

I didn't need to try after a nice restart. Everything's working.

 Nice, happy to hear everythings working :)

@callie said:

project with 3 projectors in a 3x1 layout.

 Are you using projection blending?
As @Woland mentioned, we will need to look at your full configuration to fully understand what is happening.

@dusx No, but I will do that, thank you.

@bonemap @jandraka 

Performing a little bit of thread necromancy since I ran across this and wanted anyone who ran across it in the future to know that, as of Isadora 4, the Button Control has Control Properties for the color of the button in its on and off states:

The method of using a picture is still totally viable, and can be nicer if you want to include a fancier-looking button designed in Photoshop. Also, it's worth noting that you can use images that have alpha and the alpha will be transparent on the button in the Control Panel and you can make some pretty neat buttons that way.

UPDATE: I tested the system yesterday with the organisers of the conference. This time I had 2 external monitors (one to pin the zoom participant, one as a projector for my studio) and it didn't work. : (
Screen Capture was constantly getting confused about which screen to capture. Even when running in a background scene, sending video over a Broadcaster, when I changed the Listener scenes, the output from the Screen Capture would change to a different screen.
So now I am running Zoom on 2 machines. One has a HDMI output to a capture device on the other one. I pin the Zoom participant to the capture device and then the video shows up as a Video In source in Isadora. I then use Syphon Virtual Webcam to get the output from Isadora into Zoom.
It seems to work OK now I'm not using Screen Capture. Time for more remote testing.

EXTRA UPDATE: as long as the host doesn't Spotlight anyone, then the pinned video feed works fine!

What specific RTSP feed do you want to capture?

 motion jpeg and h264 with the possibility to switch the sound on/off

It would be great if you could made an actor. I am too bad with python to write it myself. I will try but my success chances are very low.

thanks

Once you double left-click a Projector actor to open IzzyMap, you can right-click on a mapping slice or any of its points and you'll get the option to publish various parameters that will show up on the Projector Actor to allow you to manipulate them programatically.

@lwebster

sharing the steps I provided in the support thread. These steps corrected the issue both on my machine and lwebster's

I have just gone through the process of getting my Astra Pro to work on my Windows 11 machine, and ran into some problem.

Here is what I found and how I fixed the issue.
The driver for the device failed after first being plugged in. I saw the red IR laser activate, but later it was off.

Looking in Device Manager, I found that the device is listed under 'other devices' (note it is also listed under Cameras.. but that's not what we need) and had an alert icon that indicated no valid driver was available. Trying to update automatically failed.

To fix this.

ensure Isadora is closed.right click the device in device manager (under Other Devices) and uninstall it.get the Orbbec Camera Driver for Windows from: OpenNI SDK - ORBBEC - 3D Vision for a 3D World  (Note: you do not need the OpenNI SDK)unplug your Orbbec if plugged in.unzip the driver and install it.reboot your systemOpen Isadora and add the OpenNi Tracker actor, and allow it to connect to the device. 
mine was using 'sensor index = 1'

@fred said:

@citizenjoe yep, but these are not great for optical transparency for cameras.

 True, but for what I use it for (tracking) it doesn't matter. They are a cheap and cheerful alternative!

Cheers,

Hugh
