@merni Dear Marco thank you so much for your help! It's really appreciated. I will open your example file when I'm next at my computer.

Images for your show look great! I like the choreography with dancers and cubes and play with light and projection, excellent!

Best wishes from Bradford UK

So I am working a 4 beamer setup, 3 connected through a Matrox triple head, one directly plugged in. The directly plugged is scaled down (unknown mac issue). Two beamers hit one wall as one stage and the other two on another wall. How can I use the triple head beamer, and the directly plugged as one double-wide surface without scaling down all three triple heads to match the directly plugged. It cuts the resolution significantly and Im trying to keep the wall thats double triple head at its higher resolution, but I cant figure out how to use the other triple head beamer at a scaled resolution in the program without it cropping the projectors actual throw, which then makes it impossible to map the two into one even stage. Any help would be appreciated. (mac issue- if used at the higher resolution, the beamer just starts glitching and the only resolution it will stay stable at is very low (640x480) and haven't gotten an answer back yet from apple). 

@etootitigbe This is part of what I am trying to do as well. I have the usb pro mk2 and would like to begin adding pixel control using a dmx to spi decoder. Have you had any  luck / developement? Also any tips on managing DMX output from Isadora, were you still trying to use EMU as well (I know it has helpful functions like oscilations built in that would have to be made manually in Isadora)

@dusx

I got now everything to work. And yes that Stage Image Actor was missing.

Please go and download the NDI Watcher from the add-ons page: https://troikatronix.com/add-o...

This add-on will allow you to connect to multiple NDI sources.
This is the preferred method in Isadora, I would not recommend the NDI virtual input, unless you need to use it for specific reasons.

Updated to 3.2.5 today and all is resolved.  Thank you for the continued support.  This software keeps getting better and better.

Can anyone recommend a good reliable and robust remote clicker that I can use with Isadora? You know the thing, that you use to remote control powerpoint presentations. A forward and back button and an integrated laser pointer.
The one that I've been using for the last couple of years has just embarrased me in front of an audience for the last time....

@dusx Thanks for your answer. It is a student who is using Isadora to pass images in this show, in a very simple way. He tells me that they closed Isadora by mistake a few times during the show. I haven't seen the patch yet, once I see it I'll see what I can do to avoid it.

@bonemap I'm running 1.04.07.001, not sure if there's the latest version or not - I remember having to hunt for a working version I think? It was a while back I was looking at it.

@dusx

facepalm. 

I was so simple but i couldn't see it! thanks

@notdoc said:

thanks for the 'Speak Actor' with panic button. This is very useful.

 No problem. I made it for a production where I needed a way to stop the Speak Text Actor mid-sentence and it's worked well for me.

@dusx

Thanks for that! I would say there may be some fault with my Kinect V2 device then.

Just made a new test with "Monitors using separate space" and it is working good (see the pictures). I could use 3 stages with three different screen (2 Monitors and a projector connected to the Apple TV)+ the screen of my MacBook and the films were running on the 3 screens.

I have been able to run Isadora on a Mac Studio (M1Max). I am still trying out a number of Isadora scenarios on the machine. I have been impressed by the ability of the machine to support multiple video outputs natively, for me - this is the primary reason for choosing the Mac Studio. I have tested the multi video output options with (so far) up to 6 projectors + control monitor, and with two simultaneous Matrox TrippleHead2Go devices. The machine has remained quiet and it has operated beautifully. 

When using the Mac Studio I did notice a limited selection of video resolutions were supported compared to the AMD GPU’s in previous Macs. I installed SwitchResX to see if additional resolutions could be set. However, it did not appear to have any effect on available resolutions through the M1Max chip, even though the utility appeared to define more.

The availability of USB A ports, HDMI out, Ethernet, and audio out, make it much more direct when connecting peripherals.

It has nearly as much connectivity as the legacy trash can Mac Pro but that is about the closest comparison in terms of I/O support in a Mac for some time.

I tested Isadora in Rosetta mode with the OpenNi add on. I could not notice any performance loss. Although, I experienced consistent freezes on the OpenNi video and interface node using a Kinect V2.

The machine is compact and therefore is going to offer portability - perhaps again similar to the trashcan Mac Pro.

I am curious to how the machine will perform over time. It may be prone to sucking in dust and that may effect thermal performance.

@dusx

Your user actor works perfect!

Thanks again

@paz Brilliant! I love Bradford - I was based at the Playhouse for a couple of years  Be great to meet☺

hello, we need to feed in artnettimecode to a obsidian control nx1. the software on that console is onyx. it is also able to receive midi or smtp timecode, but not this console. so we need a stable sender app for this. and isadora is nearly perfect in every case, but it has to learn artnet tc, please.

thx.

@dusx Thank you so much. This is helpful! Cheers!

@woland Thank you. Very helpful to understand reasons as well as actions. Many thanks to the the Izzy community for the help.
