No automatic start for Wave generator
The Wave Generator starts automatically when the scene changes. It would be great if the default behaviour wasn’t to start automatically, as this can be achieved using an ‘Enter Scene Trigger’ actor.
Hi Eva
At a quick glance, it seems that a simple HDMI splitter might be the solution to your query?
I am assuming the projectors are in a proximity to the laptop and no SDI or similar is needed?
The Atem Mini will only loop the signal in/out. The units normally have 4 inputs and one output. If you are using the atem, then put the HDMI splitter in line from the output of the atem.
If you have another laptop or media player, then the atem might be handy. Otherwise it might not help etc.
Your cheapo splitter is normally 4:1 (4 outputs to 1 input). Obviously, if you are looking for more than 4 projectors, then you would need a larger model or a second unit. I would keep the HDMI runs to as low a measurement as practical.
You can pick up 4:1 4k HDMI splitters for less than €100.
There may be better recommendations of brands here from others but you could pick up a cheap splitter/decent quality cables and trial it without much cost.
The set up should be plug and play here.

hello there,
I hope someone has a good tip.
I need to make an easy system, where I can link 4- 6 projectors for VJing and be able to setup so I can make a change of VJ without heavy interventions. I have, I think its a Black magic ATEM mini pro. But what do I need of hardware to connect the projectors and collect the signal through to one hdmi? I can play the same video through all of them:) apart from hdmi cables:)
I hope that makes sense:)
All the best
Eva
Tutorial Patches
I'll see if I can update them, asap.
In the meantime I found this post from Woland.
"""
The newest version of the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher (which comes in the download for Isadora 4.0.7) and the newest version of the Rokoko Studio software should work with the v1 suit.
The tutorial and actor that come in Add-Ons Page download for the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher should work if you need to use the legacy version of the Rokoko Studio Software for the v1 suit.
Either way, you will also need to get the first paid tier of subscription for the Rokoko Software in order to stream the data from their software to any other software. The "Plus" tier costs $20USD/month.
If you run into any trouble just send in a ticket (link in my signature) and I can personally walk you through it since I have my own v1 suit.

This seemed like useful information to share if you hadn't found this yet.
Hi all
Many thanks for the pointers and info. Sorry for not getting back earlier, just the day it has being.
I think jfg has nailed it for me.
The Trigger Text actor seems to be what I seek.
I have been overthinking this. I, effectively, juat need a placeholder that allow me to have a one button entry for a set time which enables the streamdeck usage.
My custom timer has a countdown that works like a traffic light in terms of the colour warnings. I do a lot of death by powerpoint and I am looking to use the timer as a notification to the presenters.
By using the trigger text actor, I can set the placeholder for the time on the screen. This time may change from presenter to presenter and I am just looking to automate this via a streamdeck. Not all around me are familiar with Isadora (give it time!) etc. Previous to this, I was just editing the various sections on the patch. I now have other people coming into the workplace and this will allow me to populate the streamdeck with standard times, start, stop etc in the streamdeck.
I was confusing the issue with TC but JFG's suggestion got me thinking ref the trigger text. I have two items I wish to achieve, a placeholder and a countdown timer. I was looking at this process as one action rather than two actions if actually is.
I had a quick try out and in a rough manner it works.
Many thanks all and I will gladly accept the award for the most obtuse query of the year.
Hopefully that explains my methodology.
Thank you

Timecode value entry with Streamdeck
I don’t quite understand what you mean, because I don’t understand where the time value comes from. Does it come from Streamdeck, or do you enter it yourself? What form does this input take? Frames, time or timecode?
I don’t have a Time to Timecode Actor as in your image. I’ve replaced it with a Frame to Timecode Actor for the GIF. When the frame number changes, it’s sent to the Trigger Text Actor and only forwarded to the Text Draw Actor when a trigger comes via OSC.
Or with a live timecode feed as input.
Is that what you’re looking for?
