Also worth noting that with newer iPhones and newer Apple computers that are on the same iCloud account, the iPhone will just show up as a camera source in Input > Live Capture. I think they communicate over Bluetooth, but I can't say for sure how they're talking to each other. I just ran into this while assisting with a workshop last week where the participants had newer phones and computers than I did

Yikes!

I bump into this quite regularly. An ongoing challenge when teaching projection work. 

I once did some work for an academic institution and found out that a different department than the one I was working for had just purchased a bunch of Rokoko SmartSuits. The SmartSuits require a wifi network to work, and the university would neither allow the department to connect the suits to an existing network, nor set up a separate network, so they basically had US$10k+ worth of electronic paperweights.

This is all very helpful, thank you!

My bad, here's one you can actually use with Isadora 3: text-draw-aware-of-text-wrapping.iua3

Basically the "measure mode" input is the key

@video-architect

text-draw-aware-of-text-wrapping.iua4

Does this help?

Getting any settings changed on the in house network infrastructure is often impossible  - ergot it is way easier to bring your own isolated network you can tune to your needs.

Just a warning that I've run into educational institutions with ironclad security where I've not been allowed to set up my own network, even if it's not connected to their network nor the internet.

@jfg that's a really clever solution actually.

I'm now hooked up and working and figuring out the Matrix Value Send Actor and its relation to the Channels on the Chauvet, which is a bit counterintuitive at this point but I'm getting that sorted

I am not sure to understand exactly what you want but if it is something like that:

you only need to set "bounds width" and "bounds height" in the Text draw actor to limit the text to a square inside the circle and then choose the correct text size. If you need or want to change the text size for each new text you can add the size for each text in your file (after the text with a tab before)  (Extract from the actor description: "The data may be stored on disk in a standard, tab-separated text file"). In the Data array actor you add a second value and link this second value to the font size of the Text draw actor. It will change with each new line.
