@paz I agree - I have requested this too. 

@dbini I think it's a very useful suggestion. 

I asked for a similar feature a while back: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/7856/logged-colour-coding-scenes?_=1741784841939 I would find it extremely useful to be able to colour code Scenes in the Scene List, enabling a group of Scenes to be more easily identifiable from a different group of Scenes. Definitely a +1 from me!

Best wishes! Simon

The little scene name buttons at the bottom of the page are all grey, and turn blue when active, pale blue when active in the background and red when using blind mode. But would it be useful to be able to change the default state colour independently? kind of like the new coloured actor titles, you could create groups of scenes just by changing the button colour. I guess the palette might need to be restricted so it doesn't interfere with the functional colour changes, but a right click - simple palette selector (a bit like the slots in Ableton) might be useful. Even a choice of 4 different greys would be nice. What do you think?

numbers 2 and 4 seem to be contradictory.

Although these have a test pattern generator, I would make some complex test pattterns for them to line things up accurately, One (annoying to make) would be an imager at the native resoltuion of the projector with alternating lines of R, G and B pixels, you can cut the image into 8 sections and alternate vertical stripes and horizontal. This will make it easy to see if the pixels are spot on as the colours will change if they are not.

 Especially Panasonic projectors (they where my main job machines), have an internal grid pattern which can be set to one of the rgb colors. If you set one projector to a specific color (eg. red) and a second to another (e.g. green), they mix to a third color (e.g. yellow) if they perfectly match. This makes it very easy to identify miss matches and even the direction to shift/warp.

Some projectors offer the option to set the whole system to one of the RGB basic streams. This way every every test pattern becomes monochromatic.

1) Rendering is mostly done on the dedicated hardware, especially in those environments. Which means the GPU, not the CPU

2) AI capabilities, yeah we aren't using them in Isadora and I do have to find the use-case for them locally still. On the cloud sure, but then that compute is done on the cloud, and not on your local machine

3) Well that is a nice to have for sure, since Windows machines are eating your power like that. But this is just 20% of the power consumption, your GPU and your display are going to be worst offenders.

4) Not applicable/ interesting for day to day users.

According to my Dell contacts, the major advantages of using new Intel Core Ultra processors are as follows:

1.  -The Ultra processors have AI Enhanced Graphic capabilities which delivers up to 82% better graphics performance compared to conventional i7/i9 processors. This is beneficial when you use software like Adobe Photoshop and lightroom where it enables you to have smoother and faster rendering times.
2.  -The AI capabilities in the Ultra processors helps speed up your workflow and enhance the quality of your edits when you use it for a software.
3. -These processors provide significant advancements in power efficiency, offering up to 58% longer battery life.
4.  - With Intel vPro technology integrated, the Intel Core Ultra processors offer comprehensive security features that protect sensitive image files and allow easier manageability of remote workflows.

Does anyone have any real-world experience with them? Are they meant to be the competition for the MAC ARM processors?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Hugh

Is someone going to make a plug-in for buttplug.io?

 Python can probably do that! haha

I didn't need to try after a nice restart. Everything's working.

 Nice, happy to hear everythings working :)
