Ouch. Fat fingers!

Thanks a lot for figuring this out!

Hello all,

I am trying to control m’y Adj Mega Par Pofile spot with the DMX Actor, but the Actor seems to be sending and DMX string, because the display on the back of the projectif flashes.  The projector is connected with a DMX-USB working d’ongle, caus I am able to control the spot with the Qcl+ app.

So, I would need some help, to understand the problem, if someone was able to make that projector contrôlable with Isadora

Thank for any help.

I'm silly. There's a menu option for it in the View Menu. I just never use this feature so I didn't remember it existed.

@woland

I moved this patch to Intel Macbook pro 10.15.7

Opened it with Isadora 4

Deleted Preferences.

Nothing helped.

Could this be possible, to swich between multiple different videos and simply having one output?

Yes, quite easily:

Hello,
That sounds good and easy:) I have one VJ, who has an option of having 3 different videos, while he is making a concert. I imagine this would be 2 different setups, but maybe there is a way with a swich system? Could this be possible, to swich between multiple different videos and simply having one output? I have personally done either one or the other. But maybe its possible with a variety?
All the best Eva

you could add a HDMI switch into the mix before the splitter(s) - these are cheap and readily available

I've also used HDMI switches. 

Slightly more expensive, but also a possibility is a KVM switch so you can use the same mouse and keyboard for both computers (if they're both desktops). You could also combine an HDMI switch and a USB switch to accomplish the same thing.

Isadora 3.2.6 on macbook pro m4

This may be the problem. Isadora 3.2.6 was tested and is stable on Apple computers up to Ventura (released 2022), but Apple's M4 chips were released in 2024/2025, so it may be an issue we haven't seen before that occurs when running Isadora 3.2.6 on an unsupported OS/Apple computer.

I'd also be curious to know if deleting Isadora Preferences helps, and if opening the same file in Isadora 4 still shows the same issue.

Yes, tried all of them –– no luck.

Have you tried to select all the actors, then toggle the actors properties like, collapse/expand, hide property names/show property names?
