I'm only going to say so much because my solution to this very problem is where I make most of my programming money but I will say this: the slave machines only have one scene, I prefer Net Broadcaster to OSC, and Applescript is your friend. I think my biggest piece of advice is to very clearly definite the parameters of functionality for your system before programming so you can build a set of patches that aren't going to require you to spend a huge amount of time switch between computers/screen sharing windows. Doing a show with two playback computers where you're constantly switching back and forth to make programming changes during tech is workable but once you get much past that there is no way to avoid significantly holding up the tech process every time you need to make an ostensibly simple change.

I used a 2€ rotary enoder to track a DC motor recently. Got it at sgeor.de

The interrupt pin limitation can be solved too: http://www.me.ucsb.edu/~me170c/Code/How_to_Enable_Interrupts_on_ANY_pin.pdf fubbi

I have run Qlab triggering Isadora running on one PC without too many issues.  You just need to have both programs running and choose QLab in the Isadora MIDI preferences and Isadora in the Qlab MIDI preferences.  No third party software required.  Since both programs are pretty much infinitely programmable as to what message is sent/received, you just need to pick something and stick with it.

Dear Dansfine,

Take a look at this post: http://troikatronix.com/troikatronixforum/discussion/473/splitting-1-stage-across-3-display-outputs#Item_5 I've attached an example patch. Best Wishes, Mark

+1 I stick to BNC when I can.

Plus BNC booster are not that expensive; lots of second hand ones on good old ebay. 

@Gietenkaas, it is absolutely possible to run multiple TripleHead2Gos off of a rMBP or a Mac Pro. The key is that you need to configure them both individually via USB and then disconnect the USB for one of them and plug it into something like an iPhone charger for power.

I would then have to suggest testing PhotoJPG as Vanakaru suggested.

Dear Mikkel,

I know I have responded to you privately on this, but it does seem that the NVidia P345 cards may not be supported by Apple any longer. Here are a few disturbing reports. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2507251?start=0&tstart=0

In the second one, this quote:

"It is a shame I wasted so much time on such a simple issue. I wish Apple would annouce the they do not support this board anymore (or maybe they do, but I didn't know) but even if not supported it should not halt startup like this."

It may be that it's simply the cards. I'll post more when I hear more from Mikkel. Best Wishes, Mark

I'm currently having a support discussion with Active Silicon on 64bit drivers and de-interlacing issues. I suggest you email Martin Golding @ martin.golding (att) activesilicon.com He's very helpfull.

thanks JJHP3. John, please let me know if you find this in Europe :)

Hello Mark, Great and thanks.....it works Best, Pascal

Yes that is why compatability is such a pain.

Anybody, tested Elgato Game Capture HD with Isadora? thanks for sharing.

Dear Drinkster,

Are you saying that the order of inputs doesn't stay the same in Isadora? Or is the problem in their app SecuritySpy?  Best Wishes, Mark

I just confirmed, that with version f25 on windows, I can capture at halfsize (or full), with scale to defaut set, and all is working as expected. (f24, did not allow this for me)
So I would look for a newer version. I am pretty sure that @Mark has posted some elsewhere in the forum.

Thanks for that.

Best
Michel

Hello, would it be possible to be a beta tester on the Custom Actor, Mark? This is kind of crucial in my current setup and need to capture video through the ultrastudio 3d.
Please let me know (or anyone)..
Thanks

Some very sweet gear.

Anyone else had issues with burn-in on the GPU (both the internal display and secondary)? I know this was an issue at the beginning, but thought it was fixed with some updates... guess I have a lemon?

Aso tearing when working in Izzy as well as AE? 

Sure. Here it is. I just got back from the studio and can confirm that it works quite well with the Lanbox LCX and Izzy 1.3.0f24. I haven't erased the Lanbox as suggested by Mark, but rather reboot it from LCEdit before starting Izzy and running the sequence in the patch. Then I use the user actor as a projector to output to my leds.

One more run tomorrow and then off to Paris with it, Rick
