Hi all,

I am running into strange behavior in Isadora 4.1.3 on Mac:

If I set the Play Start to something greater than 0 on a movie player, either using the input parameter or the in and out point trim triangles at the bottom, and then I leave the scene and come back to it, the movie sits stuck at the beginning of the play range.  But the output parameter for Position is updating as if the movie is playing. The playhead just stays stuck and the movie does not actually appear to play.

A workaround seems to be to set the Position input parameter to 1

Movie files encoded as ProRes

Is this a known behavior? I don't remember it in the past.

Hi,
I usually do the chases using a sequence of [wave generator] shifting the phase depending on the amount of fixtures in the chase. The limit-scale allows me to set the max-min intensities of the chase.

I also use a Javascript actor to automatically assign the phases: This is actually not really needed since it's generally a one time job and you can do it by hand.

I hope this was clear. Don't hesitate to ask if I was not clear enough.

Thanks, I've now logged this.

As far as I know, you'd only potentially have trouble if you intend to use the Screen Capture actor with Isadora 4 on Tahoe. We've not had any other reports of issues with Isadora 4 and Tahoe as far as I know. 

That being said, technically macOS Tahoe is not currently a supported operating system for use with Isadora 4. (This doesn't mean that Isadora won't work at all on Tahoe, it just means that we are still in the process of discovering what we need to update in order to unbreak the things that Apple broke for us in Tahoe.)

Thanks!

@dusx Ahhh refine the hours even more...Have no tested it in 24 hours myself yet, since I have to use I in a 5 hour show only. Thanks.

 Yeah I've heard from reliable sources that NDI is on it's way out - moving to a paid subscription. 

 Thankfully I can confirm this is not the case. This summer, there was confusing messaging from NDI on this indicating that they may require commercial software to pay for a commercial license of their SDKs, but after the strong negative response, they immediately clarified that the free SDK is here to stay. CDN media

Hi,

Yes, those are the right modules to use. 

As identified, you will require a way to take the linear stream of numbers from the Matrix Value Receive across to the LanBox Channels inputs. To achieve that, in the Matrix Value Receive actor, I have specified a comma to separate the values (as in CSV), a script can then be prepared to return each value individually. Isadora offers a range of ways to implement scripts to parse data including with a Javascript. 

The Matrix Value Receive actor has an assignment mapping when you double click on it. It is there where you will correlate the channel input to the output stream.  

The Matrix Color Send has a video input and I have used the Get Video Size actor to return the pixel dimensions of the video stream (in my case 650 x 650 pixels). I am then using that information to determine the inputs for 'repetition' and 'spacing' of the 1 pixel rows indicating where the video is sampled for its intensity as an input 'grey', greyscale image.

I have prepared an example that resolves what you are doing with the Matrix Color Send module... here.

best wishes

 I keep meaning to do something neat with this little guy. Some day, some day...

Somehow?  after years of using my ipad as a secondary monitor via Yamdisplay all i get is a white screen when i send stages to my iPad. 

But if i mirror my screen it works. Any Idea?

Thanks for this patch

 No problem. Hope you find it useful.

I'm using also M2 Ultra with 4 HDMI out and local one for monitoring. I just received a made in china video wall controller 1 in 4 out to see how that is performing. Have to test it first.

thank you for the answer. 

Glad to read that you have logged this as a feature request, it 's really important for people working with alpha channel... (and isadora is, in my opinion, really made for this !!!)

So i will keep working in prores 444 (just have to slow down on layer's numbers and glsl ...)

After a quick browse, I suspect these cards will just work with Isadora's blackmagicdesign integrations as they are. 

We are very happy to share that the Venice Architecture Biennale has come to an end — and that Isadora ran non-stop for 7 months powering the immersive installation at the Argentine Pavilion !!

It has been an extraordinary experience to see Isadora sustaining a continuous, stable, real-time system for the full duration of the Biennale.

Isadora Latin Network, in partnership with Mexican visual artist Héctor Cruz, designed and programmed the immersive video projection device that accompanied the piece SIESTARIO — created by Argentine architects Marco Zampieron and Juan Manuel Pachue, winners of the national competition for the Pavilion.

Thanks to everyone who visited, supported, and followed the project throughout these months.

Big hug, Maxi Wille – RIL

Would it be possible to adjust the behavior of isadora in a future update so that pixels on a display that are outside the boundaries of a stage do not pick up any pixel data from the edges of any stages that touch them?

Yes, I can log it as a feature request. It's certainly an interesting use case. I must say that I do find the stretched pixels kind of pretty though, and even know of Isadora users who also like this look and cause it to happen intentionally.

Thanks to everyone who came to hang out last night.

Hope to see some or all of you again (and maybe some new faces) on Wednesday January 7th at 7pm CET at our office in Berlin :-)

Wow!!! really impressive
