Hi guys !! I found the problem that made go down the frame rate. It was the Classic Movie Player working inside Isadora V2.

Thanks a lot as usually  Best, Maxi 

I just tested OS X 10.10.5 with Isadora 2.0.5  Everything worked as expected with the patch setup similar to yours (saved to spot 1 first, then 6) You may want to look at the 'Capture Control' actor as well.. 

Please do.
We look at the number of users submitting features as a factor.

Hi I'm running  2 HD projectors on a macbook pro at 720. I'm mapping a single image using blending in Screen set up. Can't seem to use two actors on vid-gpu as it won't let me run a second stage. I've been using classic projector  with H264 and the frame rate has been consistently low. I get good fps when off line --but as I'm using the graphic card quite heavily it slows down when everything running making all the files jittery

Any work arounds?  will try changing codec today to photo jpg to see if that helps or would Hap be better? Douglas

oh! I thought it's just the way Izzy 2.0 is programmed to do and I was trying to understand it's behaviour. Ok I will file it as a bug report. Thanks!

Your welcome.

You achieve this with 4 float counters, one set from 0-100 the next from 101-200 etc. and you can trigger all of them with a trigger delay set to 0 or you use a keyboard watcher that goes into all float counters.

The 'text/ure' actor currently supports only CPU video.

(You can tell how it is running by looking at the text in the (video/rgb inputs and outputs)) If you are using the 'horz pos' and 'vert pos' to animate the text, you are likely best to use the 'Text Draw' actor (not the 'classic text draw') to do the text drawing on the GPU. Otherwise you could continue with the 'text/ure' actor, and control the animation via the 'Projector' actors 'horz pos' and 'vert pos' inputs. (the Projector is the only actor that will do GPU based manipulation of a CPU video input. This is due to the Projector moving the data to the GPU for output).

Thanks Michel....

i tend to build a macro and work in it until i'm happy, and then convert it to a user actor if i think it'll be useful elsewhere with global updating.

i can't quite work out from your description what you are trying to achieve. if its one projector with various video feeds at the same time, you could use a multimix actor. if its one projector needed for various scenes, but you want to keep the mapping consistent, you could use a broadcast/listener system with one projector running in a background scene, or, as Marci suggested, a custom user actor to house your projector.

hey guys, thanx a lot for your feedback!
verry curious...
we did a kamera tracking of an 15-member-orchestra recently. had to do it old-style with green badgets ,-).
so i wondered if there 'd be an elegant real-time option. Setting these gadgets free should be fun.
keep on keeping on!

@jandraka thats a cool plugin!

Thanx for sharing!

Thanks for the video and helping @crystalhorizon ;)

No problem. This is handy for new users so I won't delete the thread.

Here is where I'm currently at.

Started with "pushing particles.izz" to have mouse control X/Y movement of particles.  Then tried to use syphon receiver to bring in my Kinect IR stream from Processing (pushing particles + IR.izz).  As you can tell Skulpture or DusX the second experiment isn't working. I cannot figure out how to tie it into the initial pushing particles patch and have the IR light take the place of the mouse.   Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

@jpmanson

I agree that this is not ideal currently, but it is workable. If you run into trouble let me know and I will do my best to help.

Could you capture a screen shot of how you've got it all so far in the patch?

@ vanakaru

this is an excellent solution!! thanks 

The preview and the output are weird.

Will try other black magic interface, I've Terannex 2d, PCI-SDI, and Thunderbolt mini-Player.
