Dear All,

Here's a newly minted solution article about the LOAD indicator, in case you'd like some details on that value is calculated.

Best Wishes,
Mark

how

 This is actually a bit of a difficult project since the Movie Player doesn't yet have the new multi-channel features the Sound Player has in Isadora 3.0.8

The best way to keep 4 videos in sync is actually to make them into 1 video (eg: 4 hd videso tiled, makes a standard 4k video) and then Chop it into its separate 4 video streams inside Isadora using the Chopper actor. The movie player can play multi-channel audio, and should support 8 channels if they are setup in the standard way for 7.1 audio.

This help article should help you create a test video file with 7.1 audio https://support.troikatronix.c...
If you can get a test file working, then I would suggest putting all 4 videos and the audio into 1 file. This will keep all media streams in sync.

@juriaan many thanks. All sorted

I will put in a feature request.

 Please do. I will add to the existing request to give it more weight.

ok… thank you for this informations !!!

I will take in consideration 

Thank’s

Thanks for sharing this patch, this was very interesting to see. And such a nice patch. Also of course, the calculated mouse direction is a really cool feature!

As I was already patching further, I continued with the rectangles hit test as in my first post, which, as you mentioned is basically the same approach.

I made one User Actor for a shapeable button with text:

And another one where you can place your own images as Normal, MouseOver, and MouseDown states:

Both of them are not solid yet. I planned to publish them as User Actors, but they still will need some optimization. The shapeable one has a problem when the stage was not set to "Match Output", and you are use another display aspect ratio then in the original patch.

The second one, using pictures as assets does currently only work with pictures larger in width than in height.

At the same time the patch is still a bit chaotic and not well documented.  

But as I do not find time to develop further on this at the moment, I wanted to share the current state by now. It includes the current state as User Actors as well as an IZZ file with three scenes (Button shapeable, Button with images, Hit Test).

Thoughts, feedback and further development upon welcome.

looking forward to doing this exclusively in Izzy

 Soon/ish I expect ;)

Dear All,

A user on Facebook was asking about old, 32 bit FreeFrame plugins that we no longer support. One of them he mentioned was the Solarize effect. I quickly found some GLSL Shader code on the net for that one, so here it is inside the attached patch. Just add your own movie to the patch to try it out.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Hi there!

I can also verify that AirServer works like a breeze. If you need any help feel free to reach out / post the question on the forum.

Been a problem of mine recently, thank you for this thread tho..

For future readers: 

@gavspav maybe go with an izzi map grid layer and send it to a virtual stage?

short answer: yes

long answer: it's depend a lot from what light board you are trying to control. ETC eos family are better controlled by OSC messages. MA2 can accept easily midi notes (remember ONLY notes), i'm not sure but maybe MA3 accept OSC. AVO for sure accept MIDI but i don't know for other potocols.

BTW midi or osc controllig is pretty easy, start from following midi tutorial and guru session made by Mark 

@bonemap Thanks that's the kind of array setup I was thinkin of using.

In the end I used Spout via After Effects to send video to the screen and I was then able to keyframe the colour correction before exporting. Not 100% perfect but better than before.

Thanks

@dusx quick question, I’ve got a wireless artnet setup working with an entec Ethernet to dmx converter using an iPad using the lumiair app as a light desk .Could this actor work with this type of setup by substituting the iPad control for isadora? 
I've a feeling I’m over simplifying the process once again.

@mark Oops! My bad, I had omitted the User Output in the User Actor! 

Too many late nights coding....!

In compensation, here is the finished User Actor, now more appropriately called Count N Triggers.

It will count from any integer to any other integer, thus counting upwards or downwards.

The trigger rate can be set and it outputs: the current number, the time between triggers, and a trigger out.

@mark many thanks Mark :)

@fred thanks. The surround data I got from the modular synth system was so all over the place that I could probably have randomised it anyway. But it was fun!

@dillthekraut

thx.
