@dbini Thanks! I'll give it a whirl 

@jfg

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

Best Wishes,

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.

@juriaan

Picked up an old decklink quad and it reallocates the stages randomly, quite confusing. Is the normal behavior?

@dillthekraut

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

@dusx Thanks dusx

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.

The ISO / ANSI standardizations are probably as well the reason, why you aren't getting the same numbers the manufactures propagate. As you are not using the distinctive measurement standards as they are defined. In the end, these numbers are only meant to have the possibility of a basic comparison between different devices, not exactly a quality aspect. It is kind like the PS/kw for cars.

Since the switch from conventional lights to laser and LED sources, some manufactures tend to push the power of their devices above the advertised Lumens, to compensate the loss of brightness (aging) over the much longer live expectancy (20 000 hours fixed light source vs. 2000 hours changeable conventional bulbs).

Second this. I generally prefer properly wired connections, as wireless can never be as reliable. But there are scenarios.
We do that a lot at our theater in both directions, from wireless camera connections to free movable displays as a sink. Just now for a production we got a freely movable multi display platform, which gets its feed from two our Teradek bolt 4K lt 750. But it needs quite some experience and knowledge to navigate the caveats.
E.g. an issue to be aware of, can be the 5Ghz Wifi Networks in the same room. Especially if you go to have wireless (NDI) streams from a mobile device in the same frequency bands. As the Teradek doesn't recognize existing wifi networks, they just overpower them if on the same channel. This needs proper channel management, especially in Europe where most of the 5Ghz channels are DFS (radar saved) channels, leaving only two fixed channels for two wireless sets.
Therefore, if it doesn't need to be second hand for budged reasons, I very much recommend the 6Ghz versions.
For indoor usage, I can recommend the Mushroom Antennas as an upgrade. They are available for both Ghz variants and added connection stability for us big time. We don't have any experience with the internal antenna variant though.

Hi friends,

Brand-new user here, please be gentle! :') 

I'm in the process of following the protocol to rescan all my VST3 plugins in Isadora USB Key (I quit this process during install, so went back and deleted the Preferences file, and it did re-start the scanning/validation process—KUDOS to the forum for helping with this!).

All of my plugins work fine in Ableton, but it looks like many of them have a Validation Warning in Izzy. Soundtoys and Native Instruments have a green check mark for Validation Passed, but UAD, Antares, and Aberrant DSP all have a "Validation Warning." 

Can anyone offer guidance as to why this might be happening & best practices on how to proceed? Should I just stick to the validated plugins and ignore the others?

In case it's relevant, I'm on an M5 Macbook Pro and many of the VST3s that come with a warning are connected to UA Connect / iLok. I don't have access to regular Isadora, only the USB Key version.

THANK YOU!

Hi,

I have tested SurgeXT extensively in Isadora. however, I used OSC communication to programmatically control presets and other parameters. Of all the VST’s I looked at during the testing phase Surge XT stood out because of the functionality of accessing preset effects lists through accessible communication protocols inside Isadora.

Best wishes

Russell

@woland  De acuerdo! Muchas gracias!

@dusx 

Holaa, gracias por recomendarme to corrector de color, quizás lo pruebo estos días aunque ya convertí en Davinci a rec.709

😊

@jfg

I have two small suggestions for you.

First is @DusX updated  python tools, in the add-ons here. Like you I couldn't understand the first video, but this did help me get started.

And the other thing which has really helped me with Python is using AI. Specifically Claude Sonnet. I like that model particularly because it is good at explaining, which helps me to learn the process. 

When I'm starting a chat I:

ask it to add detailed comments to every line of code explaining what it does in plain English (am sure it's equally capable in other languages!).ask it for a "Step-by-step environment setup guide," including how to install the necessary libraries for my OS.

I just did this for Windows, and Claude Sonnet gave me verbose instructions. Including how and where to install all the necessary libraries, etc. I don't have time to try that all out right now, but will certainly give it a go later.

Meanwhile maybe this is useful...

best regards

Mark (not that Mark, in rainy London)

@ray sent you a chat message.

@jrhooker

Goodness me...

What happens if you connect the projectors to your MBP rather than the Mac Studio? Same result? 

@armando Hello Armando, thank you so much for your detailed reply. I am away on summer vacation but as soon as I’m back with Isadora and my ambisonic mic I’ll be pouring over your advice and I’ll let you know how things are progressing. Best wishes Simon

@michel

Late thanks for that: it opened just fine in the new version of TouchOSC and I've been poking about a bit, understanding how you made it. When we start work on the show again in a few weeks what you sent will be very, very useful! Thank you!!!

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for the demo patch. It works just great.
