It just looked different than previous versions so I wasn't sure if was working correctly.

I mean, it looks different because there's a drawing bug so technically it's not working properly. It is just an indicator for data traffic though, so even if it wasn't flashing when active, all the data traffic would still be working, you'd just have to look elsewhere in the program to see that.

A possible workaround:

It only works if you select the scene in the Scene Select control, rather than in the Scene List at the bottom of the window. The transition time of the scene sending the OSC command must be set to at least 0.01 seconds.

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it helps!

Best regards,

If anyone has files of their own that they want to share, feel free to post them here (or preferably, post them on the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page and then put the link here).

how do I make a neat control panel like that Woland that's inspiring..

A collection of resources for learning about Control Panels in Isadora:

Our Isadora 101 Control Panel Youtube Tutorial is the best place to start.Here's a much longer, in-depth recorded Control Panel-focused livestream by Mark Coniglio, the creator of Isadora.The Isadora 4 Manual (current version at the time of writing this is from October 2024) covers the Control Panel in various places:Basic explanation of Control Panels on pages 184-198 (this needs to be updated but is still good information).Set Control Focus Actor is covered on page 718.Show-Hide Control actor is covered on pages 725-726Here's a Show-Hide Control actor example file.You can also dissect the complex logic that makes the IzzyCast Basic Template Files' Control Panel act like a full-on application with different views, settings panels, previews, etc.Controls Reference Section on pages 829-887YouTube Mini TutorialsSearching for Actors and Controls Control IDsShow Value of Linked PropertiesShowing and Hiding the Control PanelCopying Controls between Control PanelsScene Select ControlList Selector Control and the accompanying example fileFiles to look at:The general Isadora Examples files has different Scenes with various Control Panels.My simple show file exampleMy global projection mapping fileMy Scene-based cue text example fileMy Scaling Isadora Example FileMy Color Tracking Isadora Example FilesMy Simple Q Control ExampleMy MIDI Show Control Scene-Navigation & Cueing SystemMy CONTROLS Scene and Set/Get Global Values (HSL Adjust) ExampleMany of my example files on the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page have Control Panels.Many of the official TroikaTronix example files on the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page have Control Panels.Lastly, if you want some live help, I personally hold a free 1-hour Isadora Lab via the professional AV community Office Hours Global. The lab is open to anyone (not just AV professionals) and is held via Zoom every Thursday from 7pm-8pm CET (since I'm in Berlin, Germany). Sometimes I help people with projects, sometimes I teach people more about Isadora, and sometimes I teach people about Isadora from scratch. What I do during any given lab is determined by who shows up and what they'd like and I enjoy teaching Isadora to people and helping them with projects regardless of their level of experience with Isadora. Here's the link to get into the Zoom Call: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIocuqsqT8pHNHE6mRQ5gMvhUAwnAd5-I2s#/registration

It's not in the Control Panel, but Isadora also has a Cue Sheet function:

@gaspar

Another staple User Actor, especially for cases like this, is what I call a "Delay Gate"; a User Actor with a Gate that initializes off, then turns on shortly after. I use these all over the place to 'eat' unwanted triggers that generate upon entering a Scene because sometimes they're unavoidable (and sometimes it's just faster for me to throw one of these inline to eat a trigger that I don't want because it's faster than spending the time to examine everything upstream to determine where the trigger is coming from). For example, I use Delay Gates with Comparator actors and Text Comparator actors when I have their 'compare' mode set to 'Always' because you'll always get a true or false trigger out of those actors when you enter a Scene in that mode.

These are not entirely relevant, but here's a couple other groups of simple User Actor 'tools' that I find myself using quite often:

mutator-user-actors.zip

I hope you don't mind me bumping this thread

I don't mind the thread necromancy at all because I always love getting updated gear recommendations. 

For the record, @Juriaan was totally right; the way to go if you need POE is to have a decent router (which doesn't need to support POE) for creating the network and then connect that to a decent switch which does support POE. For the most part I've been using POE for PTZ cameras from manufacturers like Birddog and Sony.  

Unfortunately I don't have the make and model numbers handy of what I ended up going with, but I've used this configuration in quite a few different venues since I originally posted this thread.

Hello my fellow Isadorables,

Anyone in the region of Bochum, Germany next Thursday, 18 September, is invited to come and see Natalie Inside Out, the product of my long collaboration with Handstand Maestro Natalie Reckert. We've done it in English, we've done it in French, and now it's the German Language premiere of the show. Lots of fun to be had 'cause Natalie is German.... and I don't speak it at all except for this:  Ich bin ein Berliner!

The show's at 2030 at Prinzregent Theatre, Bochum.

Tickets are on sale from 15 September. If you want to come, get in touch. I have a couple of comps. Say hello afterwards! The whole show is powered by Isadora, and we wring just about every drop of blood from her to make this technical and acrobatic spectacular sparkle!

@mark_m

I have used a HDBaseT set instead of a ‘real cable’ without any problem as well. 

That works perfectly!

I guess I was clicking on the quad instead of its checkbox, trying to add an OSC control.

Thanks, @jandraka

@reload2024 Yup, managing EDID is fun. The high-end media servers (disguise, Pixera, GreenHippo) all manage these with additional hardware and software (one company uses a mini Raspberry Pi hidden away in their cases just to manage EDID). 

It sounds like you need/should keep the Mosaic on then. I would use the tools within Isadora to achieve what you need. Might be worth making a template to map out the outputs - if that makes sense? All you are doing really is managing the pixels and where they go. Keep us posted, happy to help if/when I can.
