<p>@citizenjoe Apologies, my IT department hasn't been able to help me yet, and I wasn't comfortable downloading the shutter encoder to my personal laptop. Is HAP the only codec that works if I do need interactivity? That's a large reason why I use Isadora. I'll admit I'm not sure how to download and install something from github, it's always been a bit of a mystery to me. I think AfterEffects removed to option to export HAP.</p><p><br />I'm really glad to hear your machine works well and there's hope! So, just to confirm, your issue is purely because of the codec and needing HAP? Nothing to do with integrated GPU vs NVIDIA? Or external displays? </p><p>Thank you!</p>

 What @DusX means is that Isadora has HAP built into it for its own use... There's no reason to worry about installing Shutter Encoder (or HAP) on your machine! If you use it to translate the files to HAP, they will work in Isadora even if you haven't installed the Codec on the University machine. You just won't be able to play those files in any other software. As he mentions, PhotoJPEG will also work, and it is probably already installed on both machines and AE should see it. I didn't mention it because it very old. HAP is modern technology.

Cheers,

The M2 ssd here is fast enough for a few HD video streams, and the video card can handle a max of 4 displays (including the laptop screen... although it can be 'tricked' into more with additional hardware). Support for DisplayPort™ 1.4a means you can connect a range of video hardware.
For DMX, you only need USB wich it has (you will need a USB DMX interface as well, like: DMX interfaces)

I treid to serch for information on how this laptop manages the onboard ipu VS the dedicated gpu, and I didn't get a clear answer. It appears the laptop screen is wired directly to the igpu (very common), its just unclear how well it can deactivate the igpu to use the dedicated. Since its a newer model (has a rtx 4060) it should offer a tools for using only the dedicated GPU (this is the best option for Isadora). 
Are you able to test this machine?

@fred Had been circling mediapipe as a solution so good to see you mention it here. Thank you!

I took a look to see if any Python modules could possibly provide integration in Isadora, and although some exist, they require Opengl windowing or have other requirements that make them difficult to integrate into Isadora at this time. This is an interesting format though, so I will keep my eyes open for options.

a step on the cue sheet

 Are you using 'Cue Sheets' or are you referring to 'scenes' as cues?

If you are talking about Scenes, you can add a 'Jump' actor with a relative setting of -1, connected to a keyboard watcher. This will move you back 1 scene.
Or, open the 'Edit Go Triggers' dialog from the 'Scenes' menu, and assign a Go Trigger (keyboard, MIDI, or HID) to the 'Previous Scene' direction. This will apply to the entire show, while the Jump actor needs to be added to each scene.

If you are using the 'Cue Sheets' feature, you are able to send keyboard commands to the scene as define in the Cue Sheet Editor. These allow for what you can think of a sub-cues within a Scene. Now if a Cue is triggered, it could do all sorts of things, including starting timed operation, looped operations or interactive controls. It isn't practical to be able to step backward in the cue sheet since there is no clear definition as to what 'rewinding' would be. You can however, build some form of step back into your patch, that resets things to certain configurations, however this is very much a custom approach.
If you are unfamiliar with Cue Sheets, you can watch an introduction here: Working With the Cue List Editor and Cue Sheets

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Switching to toggle in the button. I don't understand what the Momentary is good for though, if anybody wants to enlighten me.

From what you described, I think you're seeing a double trigger from it sending the "0" (off state) when the momentary button is released. The settings you want for a button I think are "Momentary" and "Don't Sent Off". 

Hi all! I wanted to share the results of our hardware testing.

We found the problem is the Matrox Triple head to go DP on Mac MIni M4 Sequoia. No video outputs to the projector. Changing the refresch freq with no results

Positive tests:

- Matrox TripleHeadToGo Digital DP on Windows 11

- Matrox TripleHeadToGo Digital SE con Mac mini M4 Both Mac and Windows. (multiple video outputs full resolution each projector)

- DataPath Hx4 both Mac and windows

- SwitchResX both Mac and windows

I hope this info help others. And of course if anyone can figure out to solve the initial issue is welcome

Hi. I have tried a few different logins and account set ups here.

I am not 100% sure what I am doing wrong tbh?

I am going to upload the file in its finished format for the time being here.

I will try again but I cannot see where I am going wrong.

Thanks as ever for all the help. I would not have go this far without it.

@thepepperpepper maybe the helppage of the actor would be a great place to document this...

 I've just logged this as a feature request for the Capture Stage to Movie and Capture Stage to Picture actors :)

@jfg

Things have happened. Mark was responding to the request for renaming inputs/outputs on the JavaScript actor, which is now a feature (there’s a comment at the top of the default code explaining how to do it).

As for my list, I’m finding that making user actors and macros is an easy enough way to name inputs and outputs. 

@juriaan

Thank you very much, every thing was resolved perfectly.

@dusx

good question. The Decklink Setup App doesn't give that option, but I will check as soon as I am back in my Studio (unfortunatelly not before friday).

However, I did check earlier my signal I wanted to capture and that leaves the device with 8bit.

@dusx Yes, I just did. And still nothing new... ;o(

I am looking to sell 2 Isadora USB licenses (perpetual V3 cross platform - not updated to V4). The current price for a USB V4 license is US$875.00 and the V3 to V4 upgrade is US$325.00. I am looking to get US$450.00 for each, so this purchase and upgrade to V4 is still US$100 cheaper than a V4 dongle license. I am willing to negotiate, especially if someone wants to buy both at once. I prefer a private sale, but am willing to go via Ebay (at extra cost) if you want the buyer protection.

PM for questions or offers.

@jcline-motion

The app I've used for this is either NDI HX Camera (direct NDI feed) or AirBeam Pro (Syphon via an app running on the computer)

Others that have been suggested to me but which I've never used:  TC Camera (NDI), Filmic Pro (NDI I think), EpocCam (Syphon I think), JustWifiCam,

We've had mixed reports of the Rokoko SmartSuit Pro v2 both working and not working without gloves.

There are two variations of the Rokoko SmartSuit Pro v2, one of which has no gloves but has wrist and hand sensors as part of the sleeves, and a slightly different version with gloves where the sleeves end earlier. 

Isadora has been tested and reported as working with the Rokoko SmartSuit Pro v2 version that comes with gloves, but as far as I am aware is untested with the Rokoko SmartSuit Pro v2 version that does not have gloves.

The Rokoko SmartSuit Pro (the first version of the suit) works fine without gloves.

Please open a support ticket if you haven't already and our Sales & Licensing team will help you get this sorted out: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/tickets/new

@smoon

It looks like your 'capture mode' input needs to be set to 'color'.

from the help file:

General: Depth Video is Sent when Capture Mode is 'Color'

If you set the 'capture mode' to color and also enable 'body tracking' or 'skeleton tracking', then the depth map will be sent to the output. To perform body or skeleton tracking, OpenNI Tracker must enable the depth sensor on your camera. In this case, it is sent to the depth video output even though the 'capture mode' says 'color'.

@skulpture

This might help if your using the stage method.
