usualy there is no need to have the audio being routed through your video chain. It is common practice to have them separated until the point, where they are streamed. This could be OBS on the same machine where Isadora runs (without audio through it), a separated computer or a hardware streamer like a Aja Halo. Only on this final point they get married and streamt right away. You might have to manage some latency issues by delaying audio or video on some point, to have it syncronised. This can be done by OBS or some hardware delay devices.

It is the same for live TV productions or any other, stream or recording.

The only reason to have audio going through izzy, would be effects or generating them from there.

@mark Thank you.

@citizenjoe @DusX

Just updated my post above with working solution. Hurrah!

@mark_m

Thanks for the reply Mark.

I've used NUC's in my streaming rig, Dante Audio rig, and a photo booth, I love the small form factor and flexibility.  

I'd love to hear from someone who's used or is using a gaming laptop too.  I have zero experience with those😎

Did the nuc I lined to seem sufficient enough for I3?  It's more than enough for the ETC Nomad software.

Thanks again for your insight.

Peace,

Ant

This looks like a good way to get 3 x 1080p 60 HDMI signals out. supports M1 chip. on Kickstarter with 27 days left.

4 separate outs playing still images at 4k ought to be just fine?

 Yes, still images will be rather light weight.

It seems like your HDMI connections should do the trick. ( I believe AMD allows 6 displays connected total? )

Videos will greatly depend on your drives. If you have multiple fast internal drives, and split up the video so that they are located across the drives, you should be able to make it work.
It's worth doing drive speed tests for each drive, as well as, working out the transfer requirements of each video type (4k in X codec requires MS/s)

@GertjanB, we are looking exactly for stuff like this but I'm not sure if I have the know-how to realize that

The great thing about simple dc motors (not servo or stepper) You don't need a lot of know-how to make it work you connect them to the power and they  work. if you change the wires it turns the other direction. 

This is where I learned to wire a windshield wiper motor the great thing is that you can use it as a stepper motor with only one step:

To make It change directions I used this whiring diagram:

This is all you need. (for the relays you can use dmx relay boards there you give a dmx channel to a relay.)

In Isadora you can make a user actor that sends out 2 dmx channels where you can make the motor run one way or the other.

If you want to make it run slower it becomes a bit more difficult, you need a PWM.

@whatnao How much displays do you want to connect? And what resolution do you desire? I've used simple USB-C to VGA-Adapters to connect three projectors to my 2018 MacBook Pro with similar specs than yours and it worked perfectly well. I also used USB-C to HDMI adapters with to HD-Displays and it worked fine as well.

Hi,

I can confirm 4 x USB camera inputs through a OWC thunderbolt 3 usb dock to Isadora Live Capture Settings.  I also looked at adding additional RGB through the OpenNi Tracker Beta plugin (because it also captures RGB from Kinect and Astra cameras). However, I could only get the depth camera source (the OpenNI Tracker plugin RGB camera source appeared disabled (black screen) while using the Live Capture Settings USB video input).

This is a great tool, thanks for sharing.

It may be more accessible to users if you upload it to the Add-Ons page. Posts can get a little buried in the forum over time.

@liminal_andy

Awesome find!

PS I can receive data from the button (eg send letter 'a') via the Keyboard Watcher!

 I have used this button for a project in the past. I didn't even consider using HID, I simply did as you mentioned and used the Keyboard watcher. It worked great.

Hi there Toni !

Welcome to the Isadora community forum. We would love to take a closer look into the problem that you are describing, to do so we ask you kindly to submit a support request with our technical team.

You can find the support form here.

Presonus Faderport 8

 Also the German Faderfox pc12 and mx12 are nam nam, but also a bit expensive and not motorized, unfornately. But I like them a lot:) 

@dako-ark said:

obtain an output range of the signal from 0 to 100?

 OSC has a default range of 0 through 1.0 so the Limit-Scale Value actor needs to be told this initial range, and then the range to scale it to.
This looks like: 

Now, you should not be crashing when you move an actor around in your file, so please use the support link in my signature to submit a support request, and one of our tech team will assist you ASAP.

any updates on this?

 I got slammed with finishing up the 3.0.8 release, so no further progress at the moment. I'll be able to get back into this over the Easter weekend hopefully.

@mark_m I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to see how you were getting along with this setup after several months of using it?  I have been researching this myself as of late for my windows PC and wishing there was a windows version of atemOSC to get Isadora to reliably control my atem 4K production switcher.  Have you been happy with it? How has stability been?  MIDI sometimes seems to crash my atem control software and/or lockup my switcher when using my nanoKontrol to control scenes in Isadora.  Have you found any other alternatives since?

Thank you and any others for chiming in on their experiences

@gatchemo

What are multiple beamers ? Could you please specify your needs?

@alfiek said:

is this anywhere near releasing now? I would love to use on my new M1!

In terms of an official release of an M1 native version, it's going to take some time -- though a beta may be available far sooner. Before putting our "stamp of approval" on this, we need to purchase M1 machines for the entire team (happening next week), given them a build, and do complete regression test of the entire program. If there are bugs or incompatibilities, those have to be addressed and then we have to retest. So it's coming, but it will take some time.

I will not make a prediction yet as to how long it will be before a native M1 version is released, because we need to get the Big Sur release out. (Very very soon.) Then we can progress to the M1.

In the mean time, we anticipate that the Big Sur compatible version will run in Intel emulation mode on the M1 once we get it out. 

Best Wishes,
Mark

I have seven power adapters (220V, UK/Hong Kong plug)/USB cable for Kinect V1. You can have them for free if you pick them up from my studio in downtown Montreal. Please contact me through my email listed below if you are interested.
