@jandraka, amazing! Thanks!

After some false starts, I've got it sort of working (Ok, I just need a bigger screen so I can see what I'm connecting). I had to adjust the trigger delays otherwise the projector wouldn't register the ESC/VP enable command. 

Mute On and Mute Off work great. Memory select works if I send converted hex string with the memory position included in the string. The ASCII command version isn't working though. I think it's an issue with the parameter? If I have a little more time this afternoon, I think I'll try the hex string with the P1 in place of the memory position.

Worse comes to worse, I could brute force the solution by setting up a different TCP Send for each position I might use...

Thanks again!

TD

EDIT: I re-did the TCP command to be fully a hex string with P1 in place of the variable, and it works! Yay!

@mark_m

If something has an API it's almost certain one can control it through Isadora using one actor or another (probably Pythoner).

@pascal

As I replied to your support ticket:

I just opened Isadora 2.6.1 on my Windows 11 machine and it appears to be working as expected. 
Do you have third party plugins/FFGL effect etc installed? You might need to Hide anything like that from Isadora (rename the folders.. I generally add '_HIDE' to the foldername) That way the externals won't be loaded the next time you open Isadora. 
You can also, try deleting your preferences file. It may be that something about your video config changed with the update, and this will reset things.
You can find the preferences at: C:\Users[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\TroikaTronix

@gaspar

what cameras are you using specifically? I'd love to try your solution on stage...

@Armando I'lll report more but I was able to drive an 8 HD video projector through 3g SDI with a Quadlink quad 2 all dedicated to outputs and didn't use the reference on a mac book pro (64 GB RAM 4TB HD) with and M1 Under Sequoia. The card worked wirthin a Sonnet Echo III cabinet . I have lots of things to say and willl report more but for the moment... the joy.

Immersive room in the Museu da Imegem e do Som Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil

Here we held an Izzycast workshop and will return in October to stablish a permanent link with a residency center ALl equipped and managed with izzycast.

More to come !!!!

I did test and worked once, then I did something and it stopped

 If you send me the file privately (without media) I can try to see what happened.

@raq

Also I have a free 1-hour Isadora Lab in this Zoom Call every Thursday from 7pm to 8pm CET.

Everyone is always welcome, regardless of level of Isadora experience, and what I cover is determined by who shows up and what they want me to dive into.

If you drop by with your patch or questions some Thursday I'd be happy to help you out.

isadora 4.0.9 (rosetta):

 I haven't tried this on Mac in Rosetta mode to be honest. Its possible that Python is looking at the system architecture during the install of the python modules, and they are ARM specific. Rosetta may introduce a mis-match.

Have you opened a support ticket? If you do, I'll go through it with you to figure out what's going on.

Just wanted to share with everybody what we ended using for our latest A/V show (2x MBP Silicon, one running Ableton Live, one running Isadora) to trigger scenes and events from Ableton into Isadora. This solution revealed to be reliable, and never failed us. We brought it on tour, and it worked 100% from the moment we would plug it in. This interface has USB-C so no need for adapters. 

mioXC - USB-C 1x1 MIDI interface from iConnectivity. https://www.iconnectivity.com/... 

We had tried many other solutions (Ableton Link, Network (wired, wireless), and while some worked most of the time, they randomly failed, which didn't make for a reliable enough solution. MIDI often got saturated when using network. And the specific scenario (short Soundcheck times, our gear staying on tables backstage between soundcheck and changeover without continuous power, having to reconnect in the dark...) was already stressy enough for all the things that could go wrong...

I received MIDIs in Isadora from Ableton Live on a specific/separated channel to trigger scenes. Other inputs were used to trigger transitions/events. Also, some MIDI notes triggered lighting cues directly in Lightkey on the same laptop as Isadora, which allowed for more complex lighting looks (especially when using moving heads, that was gold!).

That´s all! hope it helps!

variables that are created outside the main function?

Yes, these are Globals to the active instance of Javascript. The Javascript actor does not have a built in method of sharing globals between actor instances. 
You can bridge this by outputting values to a Set Global Values actor, and feeding the value into another Javascript actor via the Get Global Values actor. This works well when you want to share values primarily in one direction.

Hey @Woland and @miketutaj !

It's been a while but I'm prepping this show for an international tour now and just wanted to say after implementing both of your suggestions today the show is looking fantastic. Thank you so much for the support!

@dusx

I can confirm that the method suggested by @dusx works for the ‘3D model particles’ actor. The technique is used in the two demonstration patches offered in this thread to assign red, yellow and blue textures. The ‘texture’ input accepts video and using alpha channel transparency you can apply numerous animations to simulate a ‘morphing’ appearance of an alphabet on a simple unchanging 3d geometry 3ds file.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a reliable „mobile“ internet solution to stream live video and audio via IzzyCast (using Isadora) for a hybrid dance performance between Cologne (DE) and Oulu (FI).

The Cologne location has no fixed internet, so I need something mobile (5G/LTE), with low latency and solid stability.

What do you use for mobile streaming with Isadora?

Thanks!

@erik said:

it's still a good idea to add these resolutions to the "Capture Camera To Movie" actor

 Entering it into our feature request database right now. Glad you found a workable solution.

@garygalbraith

Try

 P1:2X P2:2X P3:2X

For me I am now getting a '0' in the output. (note I sent a 1,0, and 3, and these are converted to first ascii, then to hex.. so '1' = 0x31 )

This is hexadecimal, and here's what it translates to:

Byte (Hex)ASCII CharacterValue Sent31'1'Param 1 = 130'0'Param 2 = 033'3'Param 3 = 3

So there is a good chance this will work for you. (fingers crossed) I don't know what your receiver is looking for exactly.

Hey everyone,

Just letting you know that a date is set for DanceHack 2026. We will be gathering at UCBerkeley, California, USA Feb 20-22 for several days of workshops, hacking, collaborating and performing. Dancers, choreographers, technologists, izzy enthusiasts etc of all skill ranges are welcome. This annual event is an amazing opportunity to gather with like minded folks to rapidly prototype dance and technology projects. 

Much more information to come soon!

Follow the website here: dancehack.org

if you want to add you name to an email list send a note to: info@kinetecharts.org

Hope to see you there!

Sheldon

@woland

I'll try this out when I have some time to troubleshoot. Thanks!

Hy everyone,

I´m working on a set of generative GLSL shader and I have a problem with the default value of an ISADORA_VEC4_COLOR_PARAM.

Example:

// ISADORA_VEC4_COLOR_PARAM(inside_color, isc, 0xA6D9FFFF, "The color used to fill the inside of the shape.");
uniform vec4 inside_color;

I would expect a light blue color with fully opaque.

But I got:

If I use a vec3 without an alpha channel the color is correct, test_inside_color in the image:

Is this an issue ?

Thanks

Malte

I eventually want to stream 4k, but this is more to do with the bandwidth of the various platforms rather than any Izzy issues.

You should chat with the folks at Office Hours Global. They're always pushing the limits of what's possible when it comes to broadcast and streaming. I've been hanging out there for years and they're all super knowledgable and friendly.

*not actually GoPro, but I used a FLIR C5 thermal camera recently, connected via USB extension, and it showed up as a Video source in the Live Capture Settings menu. Which was nice.
