Hi all

Many thanks for the pointers and info. Sorry for not getting back earlier, just the day it has being.

I think jfg has nailed it for me.

The Trigger Text actor seems to be what I seek.

I have been overthinking this. I, effectively, juat need a placeholder that allow me to have a one button entry for a set time which enables the streamdeck usage.

My custom timer has a countdown that works like a traffic light in terms of the colour warnings. I do a lot of death by powerpoint and I am looking to use the timer as a notification to the presenters.

By using the trigger text actor, I can set the placeholder for the time on the screen. This time may change from presenter to presenter and I am just looking to automate this via a streamdeck. Not all around me are familiar with Isadora (give it time!) etc. Previous to this, I was just editing the various sections on the patch. I now have other people coming into the workplace and this will allow me to populate the streamdeck with standard times, start, stop etc in the streamdeck.

I was confusing the issue with TC but JFG's suggestion got me thinking ref the trigger text. I have two items I wish to achieve, a placeholder and a countdown timer. I was looking at this process as one action rather than two actions if actually is.

I had a quick try out and in a rough manner it works. 

Many thanks all and I will gladly accept the award for the most obtuse query of the year.

Hopefully that explains my methodology.

Thank you

I'll see if I can update them, asap. 

In the meantime I found this post from Woland. 

"""

The newest version of the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher (which comes in the download for Isadora 4.0.7) and the newest version of the Rokoko Studio software should work with the v1 suit. 

The tutorial and actor that come in Add-Ons Page download for the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher should work if you need to use the legacy version of the Rokoko Studio Software for the v1 suit.

Either way, you will also need to get the first paid tier of subscription for the Rokoko Software in order to stream the data from their software to any other software. The "Plus" tier costs $20USD/month. 

If you run into any trouble just send in a ticket (link in my signature) and I can personally walk you through it since I have my own v1 suit.

This seemed like useful information to share if you hadn't found this yet.

publishing an X offset of the input in the projector actor

 I believe this is working in this configuration, unless I miss understand. 

My input is 3000px by 1080px In IzzyMap, 

I move my rect to the far left and select each right side corner, and enter 1920 (this creates my 1920x1080 output selection) 

I right click the Rect slice, and publish the Offset X 

Then on the Projector, I can move my view from the left edge to the right edge. (-1 thru 1)

I would also suggest going the GLSL Shader route. LLMs can do pretty well if you feed them the contents of Tutorial 3 here and the guts of one of the existing TT GLSL shaders as an example, so that they can understand the formatting requirements.

Hi Eva

At a quick glance, it seems that a simple HDMI splitter might be the solution to your query?

I am assuming the projectors are in a proximity to the laptop and no SDI or similar is needed?

The Atem Mini will only loop the signal in/out. The units normally have 4 inputs and one output. If you are using the atem, then put the HDMI splitter in line from the output of the atem. 

If you have another laptop or media player, then the atem might be handy. Otherwise it might not help etc.

Your cheapo splitter is normally 4:1 (4 outputs to 1 input). Obviously, if you are looking for more than 4 projectors, then you would need a larger model or a second unit. I would keep the HDMI runs to as low a measurement as practical. 

You can pick up 4:1 4k HDMI splitters for less than €100. 

There may be better recommendations of brands here from others but you could pick up a cheap splitter/decent quality cables and trial it without much cost.

The set up should be plug and play here.

 The Wave Generator starts automatically when the scene changes. It would be great if the default behaviour wasn’t to start automatically, as this can be achieved using an ‘Enter Scene Trigger’ actor.

I'm currently working on a project using Rokoko and Isadora, and I wanted to try the tutorials from Guru Session #19. However, every time I try to open the tutorial file provided Isadora crashes. I don't know if this is because the files aren't compatible with my version of Isadora, or if it's because I don't currently have an Isadora license. I'm really hoping to work with a 3D puppet. Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening? Or any other way I could achieve the same results?  Any help is appreciated.
