In the end, the issue was actually that in the projector's internal settings, the projector aspect was set to NATIVE, and when I changed it to FULL it spanned the entire area.

I think this has to do with the projector's ability to resize SDI (16:9) back to 16:10.

Hope this helps someone else in the future!

Thank you! That's great info. And the licencing too. 

I'm now hooked up and working and figuring out the Matrix Value Send Actor and its relation to the Channels on the Chauvet, which is a bit counterintuitive at this point but I'm getting that sorted

If I programme with Isadora will software be ok with this and video outputs be my new screens (via 1 thunderbolt connector) or my beamers (via 3 outputs from my mac ) depending what output equipment is plugged will not affect my Isadora programming 

This is not fully possible to answer without more information like:

I am not familiar with the Sony, but I use the Canon equivalent as a live camera in my work.

The little HDMI connections are a pain! I have a cheap Smallrig Cage on my camera. Attached to the cage are a cable clamp and a Smallrig converter which converts the microHDMI on my Canon into full size HDMI. The cable clamp makes sure the microHDMI cable doesn't get pulled out, and also protects the fragile socket. So I don't need to worry about the cable loosening or getting inadvertently pulled out, and I can attach a full size HDMI cable to the camera.


Like @bonemap I use a DJI Ronin Gimbal which allows me to fine tune the position of the camera remotely using the phone app. There has been lots of work done on other ways of remotely controlling the gimbal, using wired Ethernet connections or a Gamepad. I often mount my cameras above the stage, so it's great to be able to have this control and to be able to finesse camera positions from down on the ground, not up a ladder :-)

I hope you don't mind me bumping this thread

I don't mind the thread necromancy at all because I always love getting updated gear recommendations. 

For the record, @Juriaan was totally right; the way to go if you need POE is to have a decent router (which doesn't need to support POE) for creating the network and then connect that to a decent switch which does support POE. For the most part I've been using POE for PTZ cameras from manufacturers like Birddog and Sony.  

Unfortunately I don't have the make and model numbers handy of what I ended up going with, but I've used this configuration in quite a few different venues since I originally posted this thread.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. I'm quite busy these days. I'm using analogue DAHUA cameras 2MP with colour and night mode, manual or automatic setting for gain, exposure and shutter (this is an important feature, since you really don't want to have automatic exposure changes when you're trying to track something) and a zoom of 2.7 to 13mm which is great to be more flexible to place the cameras (I get as far as 25m from stage. I track using infrared (night mode) and reflective 3M wear on the dancer, and increase the shutter so I only see the reflection and anything else is black.

When I'm very far away I've used a cheap IR flood light to improve reflectance. It does not interfere with the video, nor the video with the camera.

The model of my camera is: DH-HAC-HFW2241TUP-Z-A

These are common bullet cameras, but If I was to get new ones I'd probably go for the PTZ (not sure if those have night mode). I use them in CVI mode and usually have a 25m coax running to the DVR.

The DVR model is also from DAHUA and I can connect 4 cameras to it and view them either in full res 1080 or a split screen with all cameras at the same time at 720.

Model DH-XVR4104C-X1-BL.

I had some issues with my BM-shuttle not recognising the res/freq combination output of the DVR so I had to output at 720. But still fine.

And that's it pretty much.

Hi,

I think the problem might be the way the memory number is passed. In the user input, the memory number must be an integer (1, 2, 3, etc.). Within the TCP Send actor, the P1:C parameter converts it to the hex value 01. I tested it this way and it worked fine.
Best regards.

More to come !!!!

I've tested it and you can control it using the PTZ image control when connected over USB-C.

I must admit that i never connect the Obsbot and always use it wirelessly and control the camera using the app or OSC.

TH2go seems to only display as a single screen

As @Skulpture wrote, this is the expected behavior. It's for Isadora 3, so the exact names and appearance of things might have changed from what's in the article, but the general information/idea explained under the heading "For users working with a Matrox TripleHead or DualHead only" in this support article of ours about working with multiple displays might still be helpful to you.

hello,

i own a blackmagic video assist 7" 12G HDR monitor and i wouldn't want to be without it. on the one hand, i use it for almost every setup - i do rather complex (live) video installations as part of live performances - to check whether HD-SDI or HDMI signals are sent or arrive at the end and in which resolution and frame rate (both are displayed by the monitor).

i have also used the device several times to record signals, mostly as throughput, both as an “extended display” on the HDMI output of a mac and to record a single live video signal via HD-SDI before the input in isadora. in this case, i connected the incoming camera signal to the HD-SDI input and the HD-SDI output to an HD-SDI-capable capture card on/in the computer.

i have also done the second (throuput via HD-SDI) during live shows and did not have the impression that this increases the latency of the live video. however, i have not really tested this yet.

with the first variant (throuput via HDMI), i had the impression just yesterday, when i used the video assist as a second external monitor on my mac for a quick test, that there was a slightly higher latency than with the second connected “normal” monitor. however, the “normal” monitor was also connected to the native HDMI output of the mac book pro, while the assist was connected to the HDMI output of a small noname thunderbolt dock. this could also be the reason for more latency.

of course, the latency issue is only important in live situations. i also often use the device to record content developed in isadora cleanly and without additional cpu load. but actually only video. the blackmagic video assist can of course also record sound via HDMI.

what i don't quite understand is what you mean by “could it take video signal straight from Izzy”. does that mean you would want to connect the device to the output of a computer-internal video card, for example, so that it is not connected via a normal graphics output but from isadora directly via the video card? that should of course also work. 

as far as the stupid orange dot is concerned: since i don't work much with live sound, i'm not quite up to date. isn't it somehow possible to switch it off anyway?

so much for now, if you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

greetings,
benjamin

Thank you so much Dusx for taking the time to check this. I will check it as well and come back with feedback

 I'm not sure if anybody else has got an experience of using them especially in larger spaces and extending USBC.
