Artnet user actor.png

 Hello I studied t the Artnet send tutorial and tried also with the Matrix value send and recieved.

I understood that 00 00 FF would give : channel 1 at 0, Channel 0 at 0 and Channel 3 at 255.

In Christie I need to unlock Channel 1 to be able to send artnet and Channel 2 is fade to black, then Channel 3 is shutter control so my message would be FF FF FF and FF FF 00.

What I don't know by sending that is the information for channel 4 to 18 (because I selected 18 channels option in Christie)

And I didn't attempt to send that correctly with Matrix value send and receive actors...

Thanks anyway

Fred

+1 for the ETC Nomad setup and a ETC Gadget II. From there on out I would avoid WDMX as the plague, try to use cable as much as possible, if that is not possible then use this product since it is the most solid for this type of environment.

Avoid the products from Chauvet DJ / etc.

@montana

If you use the same type of brand of converters to convert the HDMI to RCA you should not have an issue.

@Woland , @DusX 

I tried a mov-hap (hap1), an avi-hap (hap5) and an mp4 - h264, I attached the screenshots, this happened with all these three files.. I exported the mov-hap from ae cs6, the avi-hap from ae cc 2019, and the mp4-h264 from ae 2023. I actually have to use the mp4 video because the video is really long and it takes forever to render in hap. I don't mind because this project is not interactive and it plays just fine. The hap videos are from older projects that i just tested to see if they work. But the problem is with all of them.

I send a link with the video i recorded with the problem, which happened to the other computer as well (i didn't have time to see info about the computer, I know it is windows 10 but that's it..)

I found a workarround with this so there is no rush or anything, I just want to help fix this bug if any, or know if I am doing something wrong with the exports for the future..

Thank you very much for your time..

Hi:)

Thank you for posting, I have some of the same worries:) so far I am running leap motion from my Mac Studio in Rosetta-mode, and this is working fine, but I know, that some day, it probably wont work anymore. I will be interested equally though in work-arounds.

Cheers Eva

@mrkrstoffa

How did things go?

@hiroko_tanahashi

Here's how to do multichannel audio routing with the Sound Player: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000084953-tutorial-getting-started-with-multi-channel-audio-in-isadora

Currently, this functionality does not exist in the Movie Player actor (it is a planned addition for the future but right now we're busy with IzzyCast). That being said, it is possible on macOS to use Isadora's Move Player actor with multichannel video files that have been set up in a specific way: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000069104-playing-movies-with-multichannel-audio-on-macos

Best wishes,

@dako-ark

We'll need more information in order to help. Could you please provide the file you are using and a more detailed description of the issue or a screen recording of the issue?

An example of why we need more information: The term "patch" can refer to a single Scene or an entire Isadora file so I can't tell which of the three following things you've tried to do:

Paste an entire Isadora file into a User Actor/Macro somehow --> I don't even know how I'd even begin to go about attempting this in  a single cut-and-paste action if there were multiple Scenes.Select a Scene in the Scene List, cut it, then try to paste the Scene into a User Actor/Macro --> This wouldn't work either. You'd need to click in the Scene Editor for a Scene, press Cmd/Ctrl+A to select everything, cut it, then go inside a User Actor/Macro and paste it.Click in the Scene Editor for a Scene, press Cmd/Ctrl+A to select everything, cut it, then go inside a User Actor/Macro and paste it. --> This would work, but depending on what you're trying to paste, it may not immediately show on the Stage Output (for example, if you set the intensity of the Projector actor to initialize at 0, (so you could fade it up as a programmed cue), when you pasted the Projector into the User Actor/Macro the intensity would be '0', so you wouldn't see anything on the Stage until you performed the fade up.

Hello @roberto2022,

you can sync two instances on different computers over OSC.

General OSC handling: Guru Session OSC

The simple version would just trigger once (maybe every scene).

Advanced would be a near frame sync. @Michel once offered a syncing user actor. It is made with Version 2. but you can use it as a how to. Instead of connecting the player directly, you would connect them over OSC.

If it is meant for hot backup running parallel, I usualy biuld a 'deadman switch'.
 A puls is send every other second, resetting counter at the remote computer. If the connection is lost, the counter won't be reset and trigger something to take over the session automaticaly.

Thanks !

I will try !

best

i'd be keen to beta test the Pythoner plugin on my 2013 mbp running macos sierra

 Feel free to send in a ticket using the link in my signature. It'd be the easiest way to send keystrokes using Isadora.

@dylan_law1

Are both PCs?
If so, have you run ipconfig in Command Prompt to see the addresses of your network cards?
Sometimes Isadora can in rare cases report the wrong IP if your system has multiple network interfaces.

I always install Isadora on both machines, as I find it easier to debug/test communications between Isadora instances. Once Isadora to Isadora is ironed out, is easy enough to get the other tool seeing the data.

@demetri79

First, let me say Isadora is not supported on Hackintosh, so we won't be able to help you if you run into issues.

With that said, the primary multi-threading in Isadora 2 comes via the Movie Playback systems (Isadora 3 added additional multi-threading in the User Interface). So codec decompression etc can utilize multi-threads very efficiently. The scene patching is run in a single thread, so this can be a bottleneck for very complete patches, and/or patches using heavy CPU based video processing. I find modern CPUs offer plenty of threads for media playback, I don't think you will gain much from a massively multi-threaded CPU, but the clock speed will have a direct effect. Personally, I would go for the faster single core base clock speed.

Given that you say you are using old CPU based Freeframes, you will be limited by the CPU clock speed.

@ayushi

sure, but you're going to need some hardware if you want to generate it live. a depth camera such as Kinect or Orbec Astra or Realsense will give you a human shape that can then be processed with the QC ASCII Art actor (if you use Mac) or a GLSL Shader like this: https://www.shadertoy.com/view...to produce something similar to that effect.
The term Projection Mapping, however, tends to refer to something else, unless you are aiming to map the image onto a moving body - which presents an additional set of challenges.

@ncwpg

No additional drivers should be required. The OpenNI actors include the required components. Isadora must be run in Rosetta Mode, and the installation instructions for the plugins must be followed. I don't have a similar machine to you, but all works as expected on my M1 mac mini, and my Intel mac mini.

Mark… In that this seems to be a very regularly requested option for Izzy, is there anyway that for future updates, this could be a regular part of the media player to have time as one of the output selections?

I use this very regularly with my work, and this would be a great update inclusion.

And to answer the first part of your question;

We support sending it out using Syphon & Spout which is Texture sharing using your GPUAnd we support NDI feeds over the network (please be aware that they have to be encoded on your CPU and then get sent over your Network device, so this introduce a delay)

But as CitizenJoe already stated, we do have edge blending in Isadora, and I have to say also quite powerful edge blending. Check out the videos, if you have any further questions let us know and we will give you a helping hand.

@woland Thanks the help and for sharing this solution! 

Is really close for what I'm looking as solution besides the fact that I will need the Data Array actor or the Read Text From File actor because I have a considerable amount of text to be screen. Thank you so much for all directions!

@jfg thanks for this solution too, it is perfect for a more minimal work with words&sound, I must have some scene with your example too

@ril Thanks for the enthusiasm! I'm from Portugal, so I can speak that "portuñol" mix... ;-)

@woland

aha. I remember seeing this before I needed it, thanks for reminding me!
