sAcn + Isadora 

YES PLEASE

@jerkson

I worked on a show in October with an M2 Mac Studio where we used Isadora and the same dialog came up at some point. I can’t remember if we just installed Rosetta because Apple demanded we do so for some reason (though we never used or needed Rosetta for Isadora) or if we were able to just tell that warning dialog to go away and shut up, but either way, the warning/dialog is a complete red herring. If you can’t make it go away without installing Rosetta, just install Rosetta to make Apple’s dialog shut up, do nothing with Rosetta at all after it’s installed (because you won’t need to), and then continue on your merry way.

Dolphin looks interesting, but unless they specifically share the controllers feedback in some way (OSC would be nice) I can't think of anyway to work with it out of the box.
I did a little digging and it appears that Dolphin can be extended... This project appears to add a python enviroment into Dolphin: Felk/ext-python: Dolphin Emulator's external dependency on python, for embedded scripting. Included as a submodule (github.com)
There may be other options. The idea would be to get the values in the script and instantly send them out to Isadora (probably OSC would be the easiest method).

@mark_m And you don't even need a PC tower. A Mac laptop works just the same. I just bought a couple of Sonnet Echo III (3 PCI slots) with a Blackmagic quad HDMI video card. It feels like heaven to have 4 HDMI live inputs at the same time. I have not yet received the video output card. But I am sure it is going to work. Although you need the minidin to whatever your inputs and outputs are. Ince there are 3 slots I prefer to have an input card and an output card because my cameras are Blackmagic 6K pro that are HDMI only and since I have 200 ft fiberoptics HDMI cable I didn't want to add the cost and the hassle of buying HDMI to SDI to mini din. (crossover nightmare).

SO, One card fhr the 4 HDMI input, One card for SDI output and Bum ! I have it all on a Mac laptop.  

@mark Thanks Mark.

It is not urgent at all for me. No production in sight. I was simply happy that Gemini works on M1 and my Leapmotion (old model) worked right away with what looks like a rock solid tracking. The solution for the moment seems GECO. But since I don't have a production I'll wait to have a native Izzy actor when you get a chance. No hurry for me.

Thanks again

@dusx

thank you. And if I would stay on Win 10?

Alternetivly, can you recommend another GPU with 6 outputs (or at least 5). Ideally with EDID Management?

@mark_m very useful, thanks

hi, @mr_j

I'm afraid i lost them. I made this in a time where i didn't backup my user actors folder and I lost them all. I made a completely new one where the 16 value's are bundled in 1 json string. I'ts not a very good actor but i know how to work with it. If I find the time to make it better I can maybe share it.

I've got a couple of APEMAN M400 Pocket Auto Focus Projector - very happy with them for the price...

They are great for smaller projections so it depends how big the sculpture is

@jtsteph

I just discovered, they already support the Loupdeck officially, as well as several other interfaces.

I don't use the original Software, so I can't compare. You can copy/move buttons between positions and pages. But only one at a time. But there is an export/import function, which can be used as a workaround to move whole pages.

The page up/down buttons can be moved and removed freely, and there is an internal button function to jump straight to a specific page.

The plugin link I gave you, was probably misinterpreted by me. It is a Loupdeck plugin which enables the Loup software to use the companion functionality (both softwares have to be running). There is a Streamdeck version as well. This way you use the original software for programming as usual, but implement companion buttons programmed in companion.

The plugins use the remote interface / API of companion, which enables remote control by several protocols, like OSC, ArtNet, etc. This way you can easily trigger buttons from a different device (e.g. a computer running Isadora, sending OSC to companion, triggering a button which shuts the light via Home Assistant or ESP). There even is a Web remote interface which emulates the physical interface in a remote web browser.

The companion open source community is very active and as it is used a lot in professional live media/ event productions, there already is a long list of of modules (called connections) with specific support for software and hardware devices.

I personally use the raspberry version with a pi 4b which is connected headless to the network, as a multi device remote interface. With a PoE+ HAT you even don't need a PSU anymore, or you go wireless with a Powerbank. (this isn't mine, but there are several examples for companion pi).

@nic

As mentioned in the other thread, we do not support the Azure at this time and it's also not on the list of things we're trying to put in place in the near future. It would be nice to have everything, but unfortunately we don't have the resources to do that, so we have to prioritize other features right now.

Best wishes,

Woland

@bonemap Yes, pros call it the swiss army knife of video conversion/scaling

@video-architect said:

to a Mac Studio. Has anyone had any experience with these machines? 

@chimerik and @fubbi have both told me that they're happy with their Mac Studios

@dusx Thank you, I think it must have been a corrupted system lib. I had to re-install Windows 11 a few days after my initial post due to a corrupted graphics driver, and now with a clean pass on sfc the Kinect is properly providing input to Isadora.

@woland

Thanks! It would be great if I could join the beta program. At the same time I will also contact Rokoko since we have performances in the beginning of July and want to use the Rokoko Smartsuit with Isadora.

dear all,

for a live indoor performance on stage i am looking for a small, lightweight (+- 100 gram) FPV drone with guarded or even caged propellers, of which the live image can be seen by the pilot (on stage) in goggles as well as received in a way that it can be fed into isadora - at best as a clean feed without the control overlays and with as little latency as possible - and processed and projected live on stage. 

i've already done a bit of research on this and it looks like it might be possible. but before i dive deeper, i want to ask the amazing swarm intelligence of the  isadora community if they have any concrete experience with this. i'm grateful for any advice or hint!

best
ben

@citizenjoe

Thanks for your help! I tried it in Zoom and no luck, but it did work in google meets. Then I tried again in Isadora and after some settings management, it worked! I think the 4k Capture software never truly "released" the Elgato - even though I hard-quit and it didn't show in my task manager. But restarting the computer and not touching the 4k Capture app did the trick. Not sure why it doesn't work in Zoom still, but I won't question it for now.

Thanks again!

@jfg you're welcome. Glad to hear it works. I'm trying to finish some projects so I can clear enough space to update to Sonoma. Now it seems worth it.
