I have several stage to pictures in replacement mode named 1-8 . If there is no pictures in the bin, you ar not able to grab since it sees no picture to replace..

There are two solutions to this:

The first is to prepare your file so 'replace' already works:
1. Use a Capture Stage to Picture actor set to mode 'add' to capture as many placeholder pictures as you need.
2. Select them in the media view.
3. Right-click the selected pictures and select "Clear".

4. Thus ensuring that the desired media slots exist.

5. Thus allowing the Capture Stage to Picture actor set to mode 'replace' to function

6. This even allows this to work if you don't create the new media files consecutively (here I skipped from 1 to 5).

The second solution is programming a bit of logic into your patch. ---> DOWNLOAD EXAMPLE FILE

• WHEN: Capture actor set to mode 'replace' is triggered
• IF: Name of the appropriate media number of the appropriate type does NOT change (i.e. does not exist)
  • THEN: Trigger capture actor set to mode 'add' to create a picture file of the appropriate type.
    • REPEAT: Until media of the correct index exists.
• ELSE: Do nothing because media of the specified index exists and was created or replaced.

Could the initial mode be "when found no picture in the bin replace it anyhow" 

You cannot replace something that is not there. Additionally, changing the way that this works could break existing patches that may rely on the current behavior. I think this would be a new mode "replace else add" (which I've now added as a feature request).

I'm using also M2 Ultra with 4 HDMI out and local one for monitoring. I just received a made in china video wall controller 1 in 4 out to see how that is performing. Have to test it first.

Hi all, 2 questions about Stage to picture . I have several stage to pictures in replacement mode named 1-8 . If there is no pictures in the bin, you ar not able to grab since it sees no picture to replace.. Could the initial mode be "when found no picture in the bin replace it anyhow" 

Second, an old one...Capture stage to A assigned picture bin :) or am i missing something? 

Cheers, Barney

thank you for the answer. 

Glad to read that you have logged this as a feature request, it 's really important for people working with alpha channel... (and isadora is, in my opinion, really made for this !!!)

So i will keep working in prores 444 (just have to slow down on layer's numbers and glsl ...)

artoo.

After a quick browse, I suspect these cards will just work with Isadora's blackmagicdesign integrations as they are. 

Hi, any future thoughts about adding 2110 for outputs since Blackmagic and Aja are making PCI cards to stream 8 channels of video over IP?

We are very happy to share that the Venice Architecture Biennale has come to an end — and that Isadora ran non-stop for 7 months powering the immersive installation at the Argentine Pavilion !!

It has been an extraordinary experience to see Isadora sustaining a continuous, stable, real-time system for the full duration of the Biennale.

Isadora Latin Network, in partnership with Mexican visual artist Héctor Cruz, designed and programmed the immersive video projection device that accompanied the piece SIESTARIO — created by Argentine architects Marco Zampieron and Juan Manuel Pachue, winners of the national competition for the Pavilion.

Thanks to everyone who visited, supported, and followed the project throughout these months.

Big hug, Maxi Wille – RIL

@aolis

No problem ;)

I'd love to see this feature come about too. There's always so many good new ideas and necessary inclusions/fixes to balance. If I was rich I'd just hire a fleet of programmers myself to add all the features I want

Would it be possible to adjust the behavior of isadora in a future update so that pixels on a display that are outside the boundaries of a stage do not pick up any pixel data from the edges of any stages that touch them?

Yes, I can log it as a feature request. It's certainly an interesting use case. I must say that I do find the stretched pixels kind of pretty though, and even know of Isadora users who also like this look and cause it to happen intentionally.
