Hi,

Yes, those are the right modules to use. 

As identified, you will require a way to take the linear stream of numbers from the Matrix Value Receive across to the LanBox Channels inputs. To achieve that, in the Matrix Value Receive actor, I have specified a comma to separate the values (as in CSV), a script can then be prepared to return each value individually. Isadora offers a range of ways to implement scripts to parse data including with a Javascript. 

The Matrix Value Receive actor has an assignment mapping when you double click on it. It is there where you will correlate the channel input to the output stream.  

The Matrix Color Send has a video input and I have used the Get Video Size actor to return the pixel dimensions of the video stream (in my case 650 x 650 pixels). I am then using that information to determine the inputs for 'repetition' and 'spacing' of the 1 pixel rows indicating where the video is sampled for its intensity as an input 'grey', greyscale image.

I have prepared an example that resolves what you are doing with the Matrix Color Send module... here.

best wishes

Russell

Would it be possible to adjust the behavior of isadora in a future update so that pixels on a display that are outside the boundaries of a stage do not pick up any pixel data from the edges of any stages that touch them?

Yes, I can log it as a feature request. It's certainly an interesting use case. I must say that I do find the stretched pixels kind of pretty though, and even know of Isadora users who also like this look and cause it to happen intentionally.

Thanks to everyone who came to hang out last night.

Hope to see some or all of you again (and maybe some new faces) on Wednesday January 7th at 7pm CET at our office in Berlin :-)

 This is like magic! 

@dbini

from help file:

thank you for the answer. 

Glad to read that you have logged this as a feature request, it 's really important for people working with alpha channel... (and isadora is, in my opinion, really made for this !!!)

So i will keep working in prores 444 (just have to slow down on layer's numbers and glsl ...)

artoo.

@woland

That is amazing. Thanks.

 Yeah I've heard from reliable sources that NDI is on it's way out - moving to a paid subscription. 

 Thankfully I can confirm this is not the case. This summer, there was confusing messaging from NDI on this indicating that they may require commercial software to pay for a commercial license of their SDKs, but after the strong negative response, they immediately clarified that the free SDK is here to stay. CDN media

@eamon

Thanks. That's been a huge help.

@tim_f said:

do you think AI would be up to writing the necessary script?

 Yes, I don't think it should have much trouble with that.

@dusx Ahhh refine the hours even more...Have no tested it in 24 hours myself yet, since I have to use I in a 5 hour show only. Thanks.

It may incidentally work there in some ways, but it's not designed to do so at all.

 In fact Pythoner required changes made to Isadora 4 to run correctly (early betas proved to require under the hood changes).
So Pythoner has been updated to present this help file if loaded into Isadora 3.

After a quick browse, I suspect these cards will just work with Isadora's blackmagicdesign integrations as they are. 

Somehow?  after years of using my ipad as a secondary monitor via Yamdisplay all i get is a white screen when i send stages to my iPad. 

But if i mirror my screen it works. Any Idea?
