I'm impressed! Congratulations for the really cool implementation of audio actors, i am looking forward to working with them in my next project!

@woland  De acuerdo! Muchas gracias!

@jaio

You can, but make sure that your display shows up with arefresh rate of at least 60Hz, otherwise there's no reason to go above 30Hz.

Muchas gracias @Woland por toda la información.

Tengo otra duda, acerca de la configuración de Preferencias de Isadora según mis videos a 60Hz:

¿Debería poner a 60Hz el Target Frame Rate y el Timecode Rate for new Files en el User interface?

Un saludo

@dusx Thanks for clearing this out. It would be nice though to have a fourth "Reset" button in the screen above.

Surge XT

 I can't say I have much experience with Surge XT so I might be missing something, but have you setup your Midi in and out normally under the Isadora communications/Midi Setup dialog, and ensured the midi in port of the VST actor is set to match?

@eight here at our university we use the Hollyland Mars 4K for Kameras: https://www.hollyland.com/product/mars-4k
They are cheaper than Teradek but they have a delay, they say 60ms on the website but its rather 70ms.

Interesting. My experience here in the UK is that venues are increasingly running everything over ethernet, hard wired into the building. Video, audio and control are plugged into RJ45 or Ethercon patch panels, rather than old school analogue ones. I've not come across anywhere that does wireless HDMI. Frankly, I'd be wary of doing that in a professional setting. 

With the Teredek Bolt you're attaching a pretty expensive bit of kit to each end of the projection chain, and each end has to be powered too.

The alternative is to make the cable management less fragile... What about a solution where your computer outputs to an HDMI to ethernet adaptor, and you connect via etherCon and heavy duty ethernet cable? The cable is robust, and cheap, and ethercon protects the RJ45 connector well. And it's a fraction of the cost of Teredek's equipment. But maybe your multimedia lab is very well endowed with lots of money! Not something which happens here.

Extron make robust and affordable HDMI extenders where you only need to power one end.

If your projectors have HDbaseT inputs, then even better, you only need a device at the computer end. Some HDMI to HDbaseT devices will also transmit LAN information, so you can control the projector via LAN...

Just thinking out loud really... 

Hello Isadora Team,

First, thank you so much for the latest update. Amazing!!! Especially the VST plug-ins.

As a stand-alone, Surge XT allows me to switch patches using MIDI 'Program Change'. Clunky but it works.

However, the Surge XT Actor does not seem to listen to 'Program Change'. Is this true, or am I missing something?

@mark_m Thanks! After a bit of chatgpting, I am also leaning toward Teradek Bolt. My use case is the multimedia lab whereby students move the projectors a lot and we got tired of fragile cable management. Also I noticed lately that theatres, even big venues are slowly moving to wireless hdmi.
