@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... ;-)

@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.

Thanks !

I will try !

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.

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.

Best wishes,

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

@jandraka

Hello, I understood my mistake : it was in the node name, I selected Christie instead of leaving it blank.

now it works.

Isadora is the best , One more time.

@elena,

@RIL suggestion may be perfect and useful for you. You can also look at editing your script/captions in an external file and then reading in the file directly - that way any updates can be tracked as a line number.

Check out the add-on for reading a file into Isadora here: https://troikatronix.com/add-o...

Alternatively, the possibility of doing the same with the 'Data Array' actor is not overly complicated - see example patch attached:

@skulpture, @dbini, @Woland, thank you so much! I will experiment with all of this.

With gratitude,

As Woland mentioned, you can accomplish this in Javascript.
You likely want to build a 2D array (https://www.w3schools.com/js/j...) such that the Array is made of short arrays that contain the Value & the Position.. So you might have [50.33,2] where 50.33 is the max volume, and 2 the position it is in.

So your array may look like this (if it has 5 positions) [[50.33,1],[20,2],[10,3],[15,4],[30,5]]

You could then use the Array Sort feature on this array (https://www.w3schools.com/js/j...) to sort by the Volume level (first value in each sub-array).

This could give you this array: [[50.33,1],[30,5],[20,2],[15,4],[10,3]]

See how the value levels are now in descending order: 50.33, 30, 20, 15, 10

In this way, you can determine that the highest value came from output position 1, and the second highest volume came from output position 5

Hopefully that gets you started.

Perhaps this might help? A different direction, but maybe useful.

@dako-ark

Short answer: This is a known issue. The workaround is to set your keyboard language to English (USA).

Long answer: In macOS Ventura, there is a new feature called "Keyboard Equivalent Localization" that automatically translates keyboard equivalents (i.e., shortcuts) if the specified key is difficult or impossible to get to on the current keyboard. What is terribly annoying is that 1) this feature is turned on by default, and 2) there is no way to disable this in the system preferences as far as we can tell. Only within the app itself can this be disabled, which will require a new version of Isadora. Since 3.2.6 was compiled with the latest SDK, this new "feature" enabled itself without us opting in. The workaround is to set your keyboard language to English (USA).

My example patch here also shows some ways to cycle through videos/pictures: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/random-media-random-duration/

When you send the signal from AUMatrixMixer out to the AUAudioDeviceOutput though, is it sending the audio to all channels of the output (as in a mono input being sent to all speakers), or is there a way that the system knows to send the signal to a specific output channel?

 If you send it directly to your Saffire (choosing Saffire as output in the AUAudioDeviceOutput ) it will send the sound to the chosen channel. It doesn't work if you make a Multi-output Device with your Saffire and e.g. Blackhole because Multi-output Device have only two out channels. I haven't find a way to get both together in Isador or to have more outputs in a Multi-output Device

Thank you!

I installed various NDI and Dante tools on both my Mac and Windows PC.

NDI 5 Watcher's "audio out" on Windows includes: "Dante Via Transmit (Dante Via)".

NDI 5 Watcher's "audio out" on MacOS includes: "NDI Audio".

I will test both of these today.

My goal is to send my Isadora Stage output to a video wall via an AnalogWay server. It supports NDI.

https://www.analogway.com/file...

and bring in live remote Zoom, Webex, or MSTeams attendees to a background like this:

I also want to send this to our encoder so folks can view both the video and audio via multicast on desktops within their network by using our multicast player app: https://vivoh.com/

Someday I would love to port our encoder (Rust) to an Isadora Actor that is similar to the RTMP streamer Actor.

Or perhaps our app could support Dante AV-H input (H.264 with AES67 audio) from an Actor that sends this to a group address.

Or perhaps our app could support NDI HX3 input (H.264 with ?? audio) from an Actor that sends this to a group address.

I would love to brainstorm with anyone on these ideas!
