point by point process

 Yes, only the selected points will move, and they all move the same amount. I 'stretch' type move would be a great feature request though. I will add this.

Thanks @Skulpture and @Woland

After exporting several different file and codec combos, I realized that it was actually (maybe) a lag in my hdmi extender, which is old and not HDBaseT. I don't do a lot of this kind of content, so the lag was just much more evident...close ups of actors faces so the audio and video were just out of sync because of the lag.

Or at least that's my current theory. I ordered some new HDBaseT extenders and I'm hoping that will solve the problem. But I am using QT/Hap Alpha for the record.

Thanks, as always!

 Hmmm I am not so sure. HDBaseT is marketed as zero latency. Unless the hardware is faulty or there are other factors we aren't aware of. Let us know how you get on.

I can Syphon out of Isadora into OBS and out of OBS using the OBS Virtual Webcam. 

We're pretty consumed by preparing for the new audio-centric release that's coming down the pipeline, but I believe an updated version of a Syphon Virtual Webcam-esque application is already partially done. We just need to finish this release and then we'll see when we can get that out the door. As always, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so if there's significant interest in us releasing an updated version, we'll take that into consideration. (I know that personally, I'd like to have it complete so I can use it for my own work.)

I guess it works, but I'm not convinced its the most efficient use of resources....

I know you, so I know you know all of this, but I'll state it just for the benefit of anyone else who sees this thread:

Yes, bouncing a video signal between multiple pieces of software feels kind of janky and is definitely not ideal, but if you're just sending Syphon video streams between different applications, the overhead is next to nothing; you will not see a noticeable performance hit with any modern computer doing this. If you were doing multiple streams of NDI between different software, that'd be pretty resource-intensive. The more links in your workflow, the more potential points of failure (so fewer applications and fewer pieces of hardware is generally better whenever you can get away with it).As a general rule, every additional piece of hardware or software you add to a video chain potentially introduces delay (which is most noticeable and important for live video feeds).

Hi,

On Epson projectors, you need to go into the network settings, then in the "other" section, and activate PJLink ( de-activated by default ).

The other controls are using other protocols, so will work anyway.

Best,

With that said, you use the standard method of mutating your inputs/outputs to the expected types. 

 @Aolis 

These User Actors of mine can be quite useful for that: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/mutator-user-actors/

@dusx

Thanks, Ryan.

It'd just be a stream from an IP Camera on the local network, so I think the OBS / NDI solution will work fine for my needs. 
I'm sure you have better things to do with your time :-)

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share an OSC server and client video patch that we created during an Isadora workshop in Cuba some time ago.

The patch was developed as part of a collaborative learning process, exploring real-time communication between systems using OSC. It’s a simple but practical setup that can be useful for those experimenting with networked video, interactive installations, or remote control between machines.

We also used this setup in The Escapist, a large-scale video projection by my friend and artist Pavel Méndez, presented at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba. I’m also sharing a link so you can check out the project and see how it was used in a real-world context. https://youtu.be/gRqExMF7MdA

I’ve made a small update to make it compatible with Isadora 4, although it was originally created for version 2. The goal was to help students implement video-splitting systems without requiring highly specialized or expensive hardware, since access to technology in Cuba can be quite limited. For this reason, the system was designed to run across multiple basic computers. The system uses a Data Array actor to save parameters. You can export and import these settings as external .txt files, so students only need to import their own media.

It’s nothing super advanced, but I’m proud that it worked and was useful for many students, and I believe it can serve as a starting point for anyone interested in creating something similar. It’s by no means perfect, after all it was developed during a 5-day workshop. I didn’t run into any issues, and neither did my students, but you might encounter some.

Feel free to try it out, modify it, or use it as a starting point for your own projects. If you have any questions or ideas for improvement, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’m always curious to see how it’s being used, so if you do end up using it, please send me a picture or a link—I’d love to check it out.

Best, Milton
