It may incidentally work there in some ways, but it's not designed to do so at all.

 In fact Pythoner required changes made to Isadora 4 to run correctly (early betas proved to require under the hood changes).
So Pythoner has been updated to present this help file if loaded into Isadora 3.

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

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

opening and closing Isadora files

 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 ...)

artoo.

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

@woland

That is amazing. Thanks.

@eamon

Thanks. That's been a huge help.

Yes, what you’re asking for is definitely possible in Isadora. Generally I'd do it by using the Text Formatter to give specific name formats to question and answer videos so they can be told apart. Another approach is to write the list of media numbers for user-made question videos and user-made answer videos (as they are created) to two different text files using Data Array actors and then using Shuffle actors to handle randomization. The ideas that @dbini shared are great too, and a form of the timeout feature he mentioned is actually already included in the version of the patch I posted earlier this year.If you’d like me to continue developing this for you, I’m happy to, though I’d need to do that as freelance work outside of my regular TroikaTronix hours since my TroikaTronix work hours are quite busy with other tasks at the moment. If you'd like to go that direction, feel free to send me a message via forum DM.We’re planning to roll out a more formal professional services system next year, which will allow people to hire Ryan or me through the company as expert consultants or to commission us for complex Isadora builds.Best wishes,Woland

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation — really helpful! I love the idea of using the Text Formatter and the text-file approach to keep things organized, and it's great to know this kind of setup is totally doable in Isadora. I’ll dig into those methods and see how far I get.

And thanks as well for the offer to develop it further. I might take you up on that once I get a bit deeper into the build — really appreciate you being open to it, especially with your schedule being packed.

Best wishes, and thanks again for all the guidance!

@tim_f said:

do you think AI would be up to writing the necessary script?

 Yes, I don't think it should have much trouble with that.

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.
