Since I've had other issues with my focusrite (sudden crackling after some random time... this was on Ableton, not Isadora) and @Fred stated more or less that "the only really trustable interfaces were those from RME", after watching and reading lots of reviews I finally went for RME. They seem to be very praised for audio quality and driver stability. I don't really like the lack of direct buttons or sliders on the unit, but the rest looks really good. I'll be using it with an external MIDI controller such as my NanoKontrol2, mainly because I want to be able to adjust gains "on the run" and want to do this with a physical interface.
I should get it in the next days and will report back.

Yes, Ryan is our Windows specialist. As he said, the solution thus far for people has been to install older AMD drivers. The reason we can't tell you exactly which ones to use is because whenever people have had this issue they find the correct driver and then go back to working on their projects. (Meaning they don't tell us what drivers don't work and therefore we unfortunately don't have that information to provide to other users experiencing the same issue.)

If you'd work with Ryan in the ticket to figure out what drivers solve the problem for you, that would be very much appreciated.

You can talk to him about what version of the Adrenaline driver you're already using and what other versions are possible to try.

What’s the latest iOS I can use for this software ?

 The newest version of macOS that is officially supported for use with Isadora 4 is Sequoia. Tahoe may be fine, as we have not gotten reports of Isadora 4 not working on Tahoe, but officially it's not a supported OS for running Isadora 4 until we do further internal testing.

Yes, I want to experiment with background removal. Between my first post and now, I understood how to make both work, I simply had to user the Video mode instead of the LiveFeed. Now time to play with this mask and also curious what I can do with the facemesh!

Regarding the pose detection, I've been using it for 10 days and it's been really fun and productive. Thanks again for the material you provided! 

Hi all - 

In the end, the issue was actually that in the projector's internal settings, the projector aspect was set to NATIVE, and when I changed it to FULL it spanned the entire area.

I think this has to do with the projector's ability to resize SDI (16:9) back to 16:10.

Hope this helps someone else in the future!

Opener & Closer - Powerful tools for working with Sidecar applications.

I just published a new Isadora example file with two new Pythoner powered user actors. 
Get it: https://troikatronix.com/add-o...

The tools require a small module be installed, but the project also includes the latest version of my Easy Python Setup Tool, which will build the require virtual environment for you in a minute.

These tools let you open applications 'hidden' so that the UI/Stage Outputs are not blocked, allowing you to work send/receive Spout/Syphon and/or OSC if the apps offer such things.

A use case I personally have used this approach for is launching my Kinect2Share application allowing my full native access to my Microsoft Kinect on windows. 

FEEDBACK on the tools and the Setup process are greatly appreciated. 

@woland

The apple integration connection is so great when you can use it. Low-latency and high resolution. In this case, the local network has worked (thank you all).

@woland

Thank you! That's great info. And the licencing too. 

@woland Thank you very much - the MacOS Remote Login feature will do the trick!

Best wishes,

Simon

@woland + @Skulpture + @jfg

Thanks guys

There's plenty to work with in all your suggestions. @jfg exactly what I am trying to achieve.

I'm now hooked up and working and figuring out the Matrix Value Send Actor and its relation to the Channels on the Chauvet, which is a bit counterintuitive at this point but I'm getting that sorted

 This might help: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/dx-dmx-universe-enttec-compatible/

I stopped using Isadora partly because of this unavailable option that I use in every project. I regularly check to see if the blur handling in mapping has been improved. And the years go by, and I'm surprised every time that it hasn't been implemented. It's sad; I love this software.

@woland Thanks - I'll find a work-around...

@bonemap

We brought this up at last week’s Thursday tech meeting and as of last Friday we have a beta build that contains a fix for it, so it’ll definitely be fixed for the next public release.

:)

@martinithyme

I swear sometimes posts on this forum are hidden from me because I check every day and never saw this until now. I don’t know what’s up with that…

Anyway, if you’re on Windows I’d suggest using ShutterEncoder and converting all your files to hap.avi. Sometimes video files can be exported with strange settings that Isadora doesn’t like (for example, embedded timecode tracks have been known to cause playback issues).

@bvg73

thank u ! just what i needed!

If I programme with Isadora will software be ok with this and video outputs be my new screens (via 1 thunderbolt connector) or my beamers (via 3 outputs from my mac ) depending what output equipment is plugged will not affect my Isadora programming 

This is not fully possible to answer without more information like:

Do you use the Get Stage Size actor to automatically set the resolution of anything in your patch?Did you manually set any actors (like Shapes or GLSL) to use a specific resolution?Does the triple display show up as one triple-wide display or three separate displays?Is each third of your triple display the same resolution and aspect ratio as each beamer you're using?

Hello Community,

Anonymous Ensemble seeks an experienced Isadora programmer/operator for our technical rehearsals and run of Anonymous Ensemble's Llontop at Pregones Theater in the Bronx for the first few weeks of January. The job would entail working with technologist Adrian Cameron to help run the interactive installation portion of the show. The job also entails operating a live feed camera during the performance portion of the show (do not need to be expert). The commitment is January 5-18 as well as some paid prep work in December. Bonus for experience with AWS cloud computing, Zoom broadcasting, and Machine Learning. The ideal candidate would be somewhat bilingual Spanish/English. This is a paid position. Please contact eamonn@anonymousensemble.org for inquiries or suggestions.

Warmly,

Eamonn

I didn't think about the tip of simply hiding part of the name!

Well, you couldn't have because you didn't know it was a pixel limit and not a Scene Limit ;)

This issue is one that really annoys me personally, so once we have this next release out the door, I'll see what I can do about pestering one of the programmers to get this bug fixed.
