Hi!

I am going to direct you to our Support Ticket system, so that one of our Support staff members can help you further with this request.
You can open an Support ticket here: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/tickets/new

Short answer; we have options available within the product to do object-tracking in Isadora.

With kind regards,

Juriaan

Does BlackTrax work with Isadora 3? If not, what similar object-tracking system works with Isadora 3?
We will have 2 screens moving across the stage, and we want the projection to move along with them.

if you go to the MIDI Setup menu in Communications, you can set your MIDI in port and MIDI out port both to the same (eg: Isadora Virtual Out) then your MIDI send will communicate with other MIDI actors in the same scene

Re: [MIDI routing](/topic/2631/midi-routing)

I wonder why there is no MIDI Out with the Midi Player Actor which I can rout to a specific Synth or any other Actor. Also when I load a sequenzer like Stepic or Harmony Bloom, I get an Audio Out????, but no Midi Out. For handling Midi signals it would be nice to have an output.

many greetings Matth

Very puzzling.

Perhaps try installing a previous version of Isadora or Rokoko Studio?

We've had at least one person report an issue like this before, and I saw it with my v1 suit, but in both cases, the issue went away before we were able to isolate why it was happening.

i think i remember - a long time ago - there was a feature request to get the Eyes monitor feed as a GPU output, but that has not manifested.
it is possible to create a visual representation of the blob tracking system using Eyes++ and a lot of Limit Scale Value actors to process the outputs from Blob Decoders and control Shapes and Lines actors, maybe with a Threshold on the video feed if you want to simulate the blobs. The useful thing is that Shapes, Lines and Text Draw all have GPU inputs so you can daisychain them together to add graphics onto your video feed.

but maybe Isadora isn't the ideal solution to achieve this effect? object tracking in browsers is getting really good these days, i'm sure that a quick search around github will find an app that can do what you need instantly, then you can pull the results into Isadora with Screen Capture

I hooked up my Smartsuit Pro II and ran tests.
With Studio Open first, then Izzy, then turning on streaming = Immediate Izzy Crash.
With Izzy open first, then Studio, then turning on streaming = Crash after 5 minutes.
Again, this is with the most recent versions of Rokoko Studio and Izzy. 

In terms of your suggestions: 

- I use a dedicated router that goes directly into my laptop, so there is no wifi network in the setup. Suggestions about the network, therefore, don't apply. 
- I unchecked and re-checked streaming in Rokoko.
- I have tried different scenes in Rokoko. 

I can try changing the ports and re-assigning the suit, but these are things I never had to do before. Given that I'm using the same suit, comm setup, and scenes, it doesn't seen like these are potential fixes. The only changes to my setup have been updated Izzy to the most recent version and Rokoko Studio as well. 

Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?  

@venusirais

I would not have the knowledge to answer your question and no doubt someone will provide a workflow etc.

As you were saying that the video content and guides was not great, I am wondering if you had a look at the guru session on motion tracking with mark?

If you use the BRAVE browser, you do not have to suffer the joy of youtube ads.

I am not sure if I am going over stuff you already know and not wanting to patronise etc.

Hope this helps.
