hi friends and helpful people:) :)

I have been asked to make a mapping for a tower with 3 projectors making 1 long projection on a church tower on a light festival. Someone else than me is taking care of the positioning of the projectors, and I am now seeking advice for how to run the project? Any good experiences? E.g. 1. Run it with Isadora from a computer?

2. Export it for 3 media players? Or can you do it with one? I only tried to run more projectors directly from isadora but sine this is an instalation, what is more safe and easy and a good solution?

Thank you for helping.

All the best

Eva

@michel

you can collect all media first, and when the project is finished you can maybe delete all unused media items.

many greetings

I would set the 'size px' to 6, 'repetitions' to 6, and 'spacing px' to 1?

 Sure, that will work. You may want to crop/chop your video to narrow down on the region/s you want to select color from. I generally select the section of video I want to analyze, then scale it down (as low as 6px by 6px for your case) and then feed that into the Matrix Color Send actor. By scaling down you are basically averaging all the colors in a zone down to the one pixel. 
So for example, if you selected a 60 px by 120px area as the control area from your video feed, you could scale that down to 6x6 and get a fair representation of the colors on those 36 zones/blocks. Depending on your goal, you may need to experiment a bit to find the right balance of color blending vs accuracy. 

Thanks I’ll take a look.

We also had an existing feature request to this so I've now added my post here to that.

I've added this to the existing feature request for this.

The login to the Add-Ons Page has been fixed, so you could upload this there too if you'd like. :)

number input fields that resolve math

Added this to the corresponding, existing feature request :)

(This would save me so much time.)

@dbengali Hello! I couldn't replicate the issue with an Apple Pro Res 422 file nor a quick AVC codec saved via QuickTime Pro. I'm running on a MacBook Pro M2 / Tahoe 26.1 / Isadora 4.1.3

Hi,
I usually do the chases using a sequence of [wave generator] shifting the phase depending on the amount of fixtures in the chase. The limit-scale allows me to set the max-min intensities of the chase.

I also use a Javascript actor to automatically assign the phases: This is actually not really needed since it's generally a one time job and you can do it by hand.

I hope this was clear. Don't hesitate to ask if I was not clear enough.

Thanks, I've now logged this.

As far as I know, you'd only potentially have trouble if you intend to use the Screen Capture actor with Isadora 4 on Tahoe. We've not had any other reports of issues with Isadora 4 and Tahoe as far as I know. 

That being said, technically macOS Tahoe is not currently a supported operating system for use with Isadora 4. (This doesn't mean that Isadora won't work at all on Tahoe, it just means that we are still in the process of discovering what we need to update in order to unbreak the things that Apple broke for us in Tahoe.)

Thanks!

@dusx Ahhh refine the hours even more...Have no tested it in 24 hours myself yet, since I have to use I in a 5 hour show only. Thanks.

 Yeah I've heard from reliable sources that NDI is on it's way out - moving to a paid subscription. 

 Thankfully I can confirm this is not the case. This summer, there was confusing messaging from NDI on this indicating that they may require commercial software to pay for a commercial license of their SDKs, but after the strong negative response, they immediately clarified that the free SDK is here to stay. CDN media

Hi,

Yes, those are the right modules to use. 

As identified, you will require a way to take the linear stream of numbers from the Matrix Value Receive across to the LanBox Channels inputs. To achieve that, in the Matrix Value Receive actor, I have specified a comma to separate the values (as in CSV), a script can then be prepared to return each value individually. Isadora offers a range of ways to implement scripts to parse data including with a Javascript. 

The Matrix Value Receive actor has an assignment mapping when you double click on it. It is there where you will correlate the channel input to the output stream.  

The Matrix Color Send has a video input and I have used the Get Video Size actor to return the pixel dimensions of the video stream (in my case 650 x 650 pixels). I am then using that information to determine the inputs for 'repetition' and 'spacing' of the 1 pixel rows indicating where the video is sampled for its intensity as an input 'grey', greyscale image.

I have prepared an example that resolves what you are doing with the Matrix Color Send module... here.

Somehow?  after years of using my ipad as a secondary monitor via Yamdisplay all i get is a white screen when i send stages to my iPad. 

But if i mirror my screen it works. Any Idea?
