Gate Actor is set to initialize as off

 Just something useful to add here.. using a User Actor On/Off actor allows you to cause a initialization, so it becomes easier to understand INIT settings and more.

I really should apologise for resorting to AI to make the post!

Can you send us the file via ticket? I'd be interested to check this out.

@as1ama1and looping the video through a set of 3 shader actors does quite a good job. 

Freeze shader: grabs a frame at the start of each cycle and holds it. It does this through a feedback loop (output → pass-through shader → back into video in 2), because Isadora's GLSL actor has no persistent buffer.
Pass shader: an empty shader that just closes the loop.
Mix shader: lays the frozen frame over the live image and fades it out over time. blend mode decides whether the clone shows only where it's darker or lighter than the live image, so the live video is never covered.
A Wave Generator (sawtooth, 0–100) drives the clock input. One cycle equals one snapshot, so freq sets the cycle time.

Here's the patch: echo trails

When I first set it up. Stage 1 worked as expected then stage 2 got a signal but was blank. Stage 4 came through correctly, stage 5 suddenly was on stage 2 but projector 5 was blank and so on. Completely mixed up. I shuffled the stages around to get the order I wanted. On restarting it was thankfully the way I saved it. So that seems stable. 

I have an rtx 4090 and an rtx 3070 (externally mounted) and would like to use these cards also. My new challenge is that the display numbers for the decklink are the same as the display numbers for the 4090 displays and the 3070 displays. How can I get around this? 

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my dilemma,

Please open a support request using the link in my signature. We are likely going to need to look more deeply at the specific VSTs you have.

Timecore by Visual Productions

 It appears the unit has an API, supporting OSC as the easiest option.
see: https://api.visualproductions....

You should be able to connect it to your router via ethernet, and simply send OSC commands to it using the 'OSC Transmit' actor.
TimeCore's TCP and UDP listening ports are configurable and default to port 7000.
