I'm trying to avoid too many internal scene triggers, so that each cue is its own scene. Is there an alternative for this?

 The alternative I would suggest is not to break something like this into multiple Scenes. With a Sequential Trigger actor used to start your cues in sequence, it's easy to do what you're describing in a single Scene.

@michel Thanks Michel for the quick and helpful reply ~ will try.

And I want to create an actor that will read the incoming MTC and immediately jump to the correct scene.

 The question for me, is how do you find editing these timecodes to be easiest. I would build your approach around what you find easiest to edit/adjust.

zzy is starting as a background process

 Generally, you just need to kill the task in Task Manager, and restart.
This can happen occasionally if you have other software that conflicts in some way. Very difficult to know what software that might be, perhaps something else creating openGL contexts.

yes i have Nahimic

 If possible, update to Nahimic version 2, the issue was corrected in the new version.
If you can not upgrade, the only solution I know of is to remove/uninstall Nahimic cleanly.

I just tested the latency of a Blackmagic Design Ultrastudio Mini 4K and it was 100ms (6 frames). This was using HDMI 2160p60.

I like to use Companion to send commands, like shutter, to any projector. I then trigger Companion from Izzy. It makes swapping out different brands of projectors a lot easier. I also find if Companion can't control something its not meant to be controlled at all.

With that said, you use the standard method of mutating your inputs/outputs to the expected types. 

 @Aolis 

These User Actors of mine can be quite useful for that: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/mutator-user-actors/

@dusx

Thanks, Ryan.

It'd just be a stream from an IP Camera on the local network, so I think the OBS / NDI solution will work fine for my needs. 
I'm sure you have better things to do with your time :-)

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share an OSC server and client video patch that we created during an Isadora workshop in Cuba some time ago.

The patch was developed as part of a collaborative learning process, exploring real-time communication between systems using OSC. It’s a simple but practical setup that can be useful for those experimenting with networked video, interactive installations, or remote control between machines.

We also used this setup in The Escapist, a large-scale video projection by my friend and artist Pavel Méndez, presented at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba. I’m also sharing a link so you can check out the project and see how it was used in a real-world context. https://youtu.be/gRqExMF7MdA

I’ve made a small update to make it compatible with Isadora 4, although it was originally created for version 2. The goal was to help students implement video-splitting systems without requiring highly specialized or expensive hardware, since access to technology in Cuba can be quite limited. For this reason, the system was designed to run across multiple basic computers. The system uses a Data Array actor to save parameters. You can export and import these settings as external .txt files, so students only need to import their own media.

It’s nothing super advanced, but I’m proud that it worked and was useful for many students, and I believe it can serve as a starting point for anyone interested in creating something similar. It’s by no means perfect, after all it was developed during a 5-day workshop. I didn’t run into any issues, and neither did my students, but you might encounter some.

Feel free to try it out, modify it, or use it as a starting point for your own projects. If you have any questions or ideas for improvement, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’m always curious to see how it’s being used, so if you do end up using it, please send me a picture or a link—I’d love to check it out.

Best, Milton

point by point process

 Yes, only the selected points will move, and they all move the same amount. I 'stretch' type move would be a great feature request though. I will add this. 

@skuven here is the current update - Including my new aiming system. Its really shaping up!

@dusx Yes! That would help me considerably if its not too much trouble for you... thanks!

And  I'll add in my set of Timecode Tools (user actors): TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - DX – Timecode Tools

I can Syphon out of Isadora into OBS and out of OBS using the OBS Virtual Webcam. 

We're pretty consumed by preparing for the new audio-centric release that's coming down the pipeline, but I believe an updated version of a Syphon Virtual Webcam-esque application is already partially done. We just need to finish this release and then we'll see when we can get that out the door. As always, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so if there's significant interest in us releasing an updated version, we'll take that into consideration. (I know that personally, I'd like to have it complete so I can use it for my own work.)

@dbini said:

I guess it works, but I'm not convinced its the most efficient use of resources....

I know you, so I know you know all of this, but I'll state it just for the benefit of anyone else who sees this thread:

Yes, bouncing a video signal between multiple pieces of software feels kind of janky and is definitely not ideal, but if you're just sending Syphon video streams between different applications, the overhead is next to nothing; you will not see a noticeable performance hit with any modern computer doing this. If you were doing multiple streams of NDI between different software, that'd be pretty resource-intensive. The more links in your workflow, the more potential points of failure (so fewer applications and fewer pieces of hardware is generally better whenever you can get away with it).As a general rule, every additional piece of hardware or software you add to a video chain potentially introduces delay (which is most noticeable and important for live video feeds).

@woland thanks !

@woland Thank you for update.

is this still broken in isadora 3

As Dusx said, we're no longer actively developing Isadora 3, but this issue is fixed in Isadora 4.

@skuven I will give it a try ! Thanks
