@mark_m you have some obasbot UVC PTZ cams, I reckon. Can you control them via osc AND via the new Video in PTZ image Control Actor ?

I have 2 insta 360 link that I can control independently with 2 Video in PTZ image control actor in IZZY. And it works very well. 

hello, is it possible to switch smart devices like ac outlets, which are "matter" compatible?

thx.

Just picking this up again after spending a bit of time figuring out the SHOW/HIDE control actors. This system gave me an idea about how controller data could be sent and recieved programatically. I wonder if sending/recieveing control panel data programmatically could be done using the same Controller Address functionality currently being use for the show/hide actor. 

It could perhaps be a second way of sending/receiving information to and from controllers - there could be a couple new actors: Send Controller Data and Recieve Controller Data. These would use the same addressing system used in the SHOW/HIDE controls.

The user can figure out how they want to to address their controller data sharing using the addresses, wildcards etc. This would allow the user to use lookup tables, or dynamic systems to send and recieve controller data. It would  mean that the address on the contols themselves would still need to be assigned manually, but it would allow for greater flexibility in how they are connected to patches. Using the controller group address, the same controls could be used for different states in the patch (for example track 1, track 2, track 3 in a video mixing system)

This would maintain the current CTL# functionality, but add the "Controller Data Address" functionality.

Just some thoughts.

@bonemap , Thanks for this. I was excited about the chance.js library because it offered random outputs to so many data types which would make things quite efficient here. I will try your method and am sure i could use it to work with other data types.

Next up, I want to try papaparser.js for csv files. It looks promising.

Hi,

There is a midi/OSC app that supports png image files:

OSC/Pilot

Then use ‘Guided Access’ on your ipad to create kiosk mode. 

Another option is hosting the controller in a browser that supports kiosk mode. Node.js can be configured with a browser interface that sends OSC commands to Isadora. Once the functionality is set up, coding images into html should be straight forward. Here is a forum thread describing node.js setup and some alternatives. There is an implementation of node.js for iPad OS.

Example: node.js into Isadora

@dillthekraut I agree the text chopper should be able to do this - seems dumb that it cannot - at any rate this kind of work is better to offload to something a little more standardised than these strange actors. You can use the javascript actor for this easily. Make sure to connect the inputs and outputs of the actor to something that can send and receive text respectively othewise this will not work - the outputs dont automutate to types based on the code for some reason.

// iz_input 1 "fileName" // iz_output 1 "fileNameWithoutExtension" function main() {     // Get the input file name from the first argument     let fileName = arguments[0];          // Use JavaScript to get the base name by removing the last segment after the dot     let fileNameWithoutExtension = fileName.substring(0, fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));     // If there is no dot (i.e., no extension), return the file name as it is     if (fileNameWithoutExtension === "") {         fileNameWithoutExtension = fileName;     }     return fileNameWithoutExtension; }

@gaspar Oh thanks! I'll take a look

Thank you for the explanation! Now it works!

@chickenroll

Yes, you are missing one step. You need to right-click your Movie Player actor and select 'Use Timecode'

edit: I think you may also need to move your SRT file to the same folder as your Mov file (your SRT Player is currently showing an error: file not found), and, of course, send your subtitles to a Text Draw actor to render them to your Projector

Also page 179 of the manual :-)

@woland Thanks for the link to the smpte-ltc-to-mtc converter! I've needed this for a while! [https://github.com/Gouttfi/smp...] Cheers!

My PBX does support SIP

 Perfect. Let me know if you run into any issues.

@woland Well for example changing the shape of the fade, why would anyone ever want a value other than 1?  That sort of thing, a better explanation of the settings would be helpful.  And also it would be great to link the left and right settings together because almost all of the time I'm using the same values for right and left fades....

Hi,

There are some options to achieve what you have described in Isadora. You might find a part solution with the 3D Particles and 3D Model Particles modules.

Here is a forum thread that links to an example:

Unfortunately, I am time poor to create a tutorial atm.

Once you've got more time we'd love it if you could upload it to the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page if you haven't already.

Cool things like this tend to get buried in the forum over time.

Best wishes,

Woland

I'm wanting to use movement to repel the particles. or by using threshold so that the person is outlined by the particles.

One option to achieve the effect of particles that outline the person, is to start by creating a video effect of the outline. Once you have the outline as a high contrast image then look at the 3D Particles module. It has the option to emit particles based on a video input - called 'video gen':

It is a legacy 'vid-cpu' input and will likely require conversion.

I did a little research and it appears to be possible to develop using the Python bindings provided for the Orbbec SDK, which support connecting to the device over Ethernet, although it would likely be easier to first do some test dev with it connected via USB.

I don't have this device otherwise I might look into making an example. I do hope to do a generic Orbbec over USB example soon though.

@dusx hello, do we have to learn pyton to send udp messages in isadora 4? thx.
