I know I can't exactly be considered unbiased, but it's hard not to point out in situations like this how much I really love this community. 

This is exactly why, when people contact me directly with questions, after I do my best to help (if I can), I also always add that they should go ask their question on the forum too. I may have ten years of high-level experience with this software but that's just a drop in the bucket when compared to the combined knowledge of the community as a whole.

Y'all are awesome <3

Hi,

I have some LanBox LCX Isadora resources that can be shared:

Izzy DMX_LanBox

Lanbox as my DMX

 I don't have a Lanbox, so I can't comment directly on this. However, collecting color data from video is pretty easy, and I do this all the time, for many self running effects. "Measure Color" is your friend here. It allows you to look at a region of the video (left half, right half, maybe break it into row and columns) and get a RGB value for the region. So if you are controlling LED lighting you can set it to the same (or related) color. You can derive the brightness from the RGB values (use BT.709 formula) as well, if you just want to control the one value per output.

@DusX Any tips?

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

Hi all!

I'm looking to use Isadora to translate video to intensities of a matrix of traditional light fixtures. Im using the Lanbox as my DMX controller/interface, and will most likely use a wifi router that will be hard wired to one computer running the lanbox software, as well as a second computer running Izzy. So I will use the Artnet send actor. Does anyone have an example patch of how this can be achieved in Izzy? 

Thanks and all the best!

opening and closing Isadora files

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

@dusx

Thanks for the prompt, will give it a try soon. Your Pythoner Add-On example also nudged me to think about how to manage the Media Bins more broadly as I move towards assimilating larger libraries of - say - Midi files, like these open source examples: free-midi-chords

A programmable option to import and remove path items from the media bins is what I am thinking right now - but early days in creating interactive experiences with such large suites of media options. It may be more about opening and closing Isadora files with segmented regions based on - for example - musical major and minor keys.

Best Wishes,

Russell

I would be curious to here from you if you have a chance to use this one some 3D heavy projects. The 3D files can have associated texture files, and collecting these was the only special case that had to be handled to get this working. I had cases where my textures didn't have file extensions, so I made sure that case was covered. Let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks

 It is something I have looked into previously. As you said with little hardware support, it isn't something that is high priority for use right now, but that could change with adoption. I will make sure this is in our feature request database so that it can't be forgotten.
