Hi there Russell, 

Thank you so much for the kind words, I think the team is currently trying to get some well deserved sleep / rest :)

Great to hear that OpenNI is still functional, and for sure! Python opens a lot of doors for future work / machine learning models that we can utilize to track performers in a space. I know that the team is really invested in this, and we will likely share more about that / publish that to the Add-on store when we are happy with the results.

Let us know if you have any other feedback for Isadora 4.x, we are listening!

The solution is to use an Absolute Value Actor. -> servo_test_01.izz

Thank you very much! I can work with that!

Now, when I try to open Syphon (to then re-install the OBS Virtual Cam), the icon appears on the dock, but the actual window doesn't appear. If I go to help>install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin it waits and then closes the Syphon app. I can't get any further. Any ideas? 

 FWIW I have the same problem and I'm on Ventura 13.6.7.

I installed Syphon Virtual Webcam after already having the latest OBS installed and when I launch it the icon shows up in the doc, but no main window. Interacting with the Virtual Webcam in any way (like the help -> install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin) causes the program to close..

Just a bit more info for debugging in case it's helpful

@DusX 

Thanks for the information!!

@vtt This runs on a Windows 10 PC but not on a Windows 11 PC ???

I've never seen any perceivable difference between running Isadora on a Windows 10 vs Windows 11 computer, so my first guess here is that this is related to the setup of your lighting hardware. Are there any additional drivers you installed or other hardware-specific setup steps that you performed on the Windows 10 computer that you didn't for the Windows 11 computer? 

@montana 

Can you please attach screenshots of the Matrox software, macOS display layout, and the Display Overview from Stage Setup in Isadora?

I just needed a quick way to adjust parameters in an actor

Another quick way is to use the 'modifiers' input on the normal Mouse Watcher actor. If you set it to 'shf' (shift) for example, the numbers in the outputs will only change while you're holding down the Shift key.

@jdachs Why don't you run the powerpoint on your machine on a second monitor and you yse the screen capture actor to import you ppt like a vide feed ?

The msg:string={00-FF} parsing pattern is nearly always my starting point when I am trying to receive Serial text data.

This parsing pattern will output a string made up of any of the Hex values 00 through FF (all of them). This works often to get you started since you can see the full message received eaisly.

You will want to watch your incoming serial data in the Monitor window to see how this output matches with the input.

@nic

Can you tell use the make and model that didn't work for you? It may help others in the future, and will allow us to expand our testing.

@catfer Does the Windows Kinect Studio not do this? It has basic edit features I think. I can't check at the moment though sorry.

@eva

This could also be a possibility for you:

@renegadeboy You have a few choices, but starting with LTC as an audio track on your video files is a great begining. 

From there you can use hardware or software to convert LTC to MTC. IF you use software you need to route the audio output to an audio input with a cable or virtual soudn card.

For OSX you can use loopback to route the audio and lockstep to do the conversion https://figure53.github.io/stu...

There are a variety of virtual audio cards for windows, I am not a fan of them but they do work - there are a bunhc of forum posts about them.

From there you can use this free software: https://github.com/Gouttfi/smp... or a number of paid softwares https://txl20.com/timecode-exp...  https://isotonikstudios.com/pr...

I like hardware devices as you dont need to mess around and they operate independantly, there are soem cheaper ones: https://www.doremidi.cn/h-pd-8...

I have used this fancier one that also does artnet timecode: https://www.visualproductions....

You can also do this with some annyoing work with Reaper or Chataigne

Dear people
The riddle is solved!

Thanks to the incredibly cooperative Tangent Support, who even installed Isadora Demo to understand the case!

It was simply due to the fact that the OSC naming convention must be followed when assigning the OSC address in the Tangent Mapper.
In contrast to TouchOSC, which already “prepares” the address, the Tangent Mapper requires a “ / ” followed by the address/address variable.
Otherwise Isadora will clearly not recognize the address as such. Hexler protocol does this because it simply auto-completes the address with the missing “ / ”.
It's actually quite simple, you just have to figure it out first 😄
Now i can go straight forward by controlling  PTZ cams with a colorgrading panel...

In any case, thank you very much for all the tips and your help!
Have a nice week, Tom
