@davidI meant the Texture Map, since its defined in Cols and Rows, I think of it as a tile. (basically a sprite sheet: https://gamedevelopment.tutspl...)Anyway, I was just suggesting that it could be made dynamically within Isadora. 'Matte++' might be a good actor to use to build such a grid.

@topherbb Found a solution - for some reason my Mac was hiding the preference files, so I had to download a separate app called "App Cleaner" in order to find the file and get rid of it.

@ril many thanks! gracias!

Excellent thread!I once created a burglar deterrent at my studio. I recorded myself stomping towards the door, and playing music, and then used a contact mic attached to the door itself as a trigger.I also ran a 'seance' in an old peoples' home using skype and isadora video effects. The residents would roleplay dead celebrities by skyping through the next room, looking ghostly with motion blur etc, and we'd ask them questions.

Love it mate. It is a nice track got to say.A similar vibe but using 3D Model Particles (with no 3D model!) 

hello Didier, This is more for the sake of community feedback. Following our exchange it seems I may be doing this if all goes well. Thanks for the opportunity.

@anibalzorrillaI'll take a look asap.

@kathmandale That is an exciting idea! It would be a lot easier to explain to less technologically understanding designers as well, to show them that it is merely an intelligent fixture like any other. I have not had much, if any, experience with Artnet. I agree that OSC and Midi are both a bit clunky.At our theatre, the LD is often the Projection designer as well, and is not always understanding of my words when I talk about the technical side of projections.I look forward to looking at the actor you made and I am going to look into seeing if I can do something similar myself before I look at yours.

@woland I do SDI and it is my preference, but I use a lot of CAT as well, but the cat based extension systems differ a lot, there is some cheap stuff and then real HDBaseT. The cheap stuff is not really worth using. The only problem with HDBaseT is that is re-encodes the video and gets rid of data. You will see that almost all HDBaseT is fixed at 4:2:0 colour compression. SDI conversions will not do any comprression, they just re-wrap the data, and if you send 422 or 444, that is what comes out at the other end. Cable is a bit more picky, although HDBaseT at 75m is also pretty picky and good tactical cat6 sftp (the sheilded kind) that has a good rubberized cover and does not kink will cost the same or more than the equivalent 3GSDI cable. The biggest advantage of the HDBaseT systems is the good ones (eg lightware) can be powered from either end and they can also carry a network connection so you can control the projector as well. Some projectors (late model panasonic) also have a direct HDBaseT input (but these models often have HDSDI as well), which also carries the network signal for control which is pretty cool, there are even HDBaseT matrixes. As a rule pretty although you can get functioning systems, HDMI or DVI should not go over 5m passively, active stuff is mostly consumer orientated and although some of it is good, with cat or SDI you can put a new tip on a cable in less than 5 mins, this is important for pros, and makes it worth investing in good cable.

This is a brilliant concept. I look forward to trying it out.Cheers,Hugh

I've been using OSC transmitters/receivers for something similar - except sending the data over the internet between two theatres. The patch is essentially a multi-channel vision mixer with virtual PTZ controls and a cue recall system, and all of the control can be operated either locally or remotely. There's also a couple extra computers in one location with a different patch to run live subtitling (also via OSC). I imagine you could do the same with Net Broadcasters and a VPN - OSC is just a little more convenient, because you can point it directly to the other computer's public IP address. Running Isadora on multiple machines is great. Especially with NDI and TCPsyphon to send video around as well as controls. I hope the licensing changes make it a little easier to deal with, but it's a great feature either way.

@mark Thousand thanks for the beta3! I've now tested it for a bit longer, and found that there's still a small leak. I ran a patch (with Capture Stage to Disk actor) for eleven days with my MacPro, and the RAM was filling up about 30MB/hour, which really is not much, but for a longer term... I repeated running the patch for another 4 days with similar results. I also ran the patch on a MacBookPro, which gave same outcome, but I did not have a chance to run it more than overnight.Also, on MacPro (late 2013, trashcan)and Isadora v.2.6.2b3 the cycles go down strangely after some time. With my patch, it runs around 460-515 for about 7mins, then starts to decrease slowly down to around 100, and then jumps fast back to around 460-515… Did not notice this phenomenon on my MacBookPro.So, the leak is a minor one. However, if you are not able to fix this memory leak for Isadora v2.x, I hope you could ensure it's gone with the coming version Isadora 3.x?Thanks in advance,Lauri

A little late to the party, but I recently worked with John Toenjes of The Laboratory for Audience Interactive Technologies using their Mosho app to send audio, video, trigger vibrate, flash screen, etc. to audience cell phones, pretty similar to @eight 's app.  They were super helpful, their documentation was straight forward, and cues were easy to tweak.  While it wasn't quite as successful as I would have liked, it had more to do with not fully explaining to the audience how to interact with the app, rather than the app itself.  Overall, it was a great first experiment...

I sometimes take a color to rgb and a color maker rgb and link them together and manipulate the rgb values individually between. You can make a fade with 'effects this way.

thanks Mark, i managed to get a Net Broadcaster to Listener working in one direction. i only need it going one way at the moment, so at least i know my installation will work. now i just need to film and edit everything ready to go onsite and map to 6 windows.
