@jandraka,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I hate to ask, but is there a Isadora 3.26 version of your actor? We haven't upgraded yet, so I'm unable to open it.

My projectors don't explicitly enable or disable the Web API which appears to exist in later models, but there is definitely some sort of ESC/VP21 web control capability as I can do it through other apps. I'm starting to wonder if I need to specify a different version of the API in the command as it looks like some Epson models use different API versions (https://download3.ebz.epson.ne...)?

I'll get going on Wireshark in the meantime! Thanks, Javi! (and @BvG73 :-))

Hi, 

I have a user actor for you that I hope will help. You have to enter the projector's IP address and then select the memory number you want. I've tested it with my projector and it works perfectly.
You can also explore more commands. If the command you send requires a parameter, you have to leave a space (e.g., "POPLP ") and then add the parameter in the format P1:C.
Best regards.

Hi,

The user actors I shared require the Web API protocol to be enabled in the Epson projector's menu. Your model may not have that option. It's in Menu > Network > Network Settings > Others > Web API Settings (my menu is in Spanish, so I assume it's something like that). If you don't have the Web API option, you may be able to use Wireshark to monitor what's being sent via the web browser and make the request with a GET/POST actor.
Hope that helps.

Best regards.

Hello,
I have Isadora 2.6.10 with a key on Windows 10.
I updated Windows and now Isadora won't start. I reinstalled Isadora and the key driver, but it still won't start. I don't understand.
Can you help me?
Kind regards

@t_decker

Instead of using Isadora directly, try using the free Bitfocus Companion software as a go-between. See if it has the controls you need, if so create a button and trigger that button using osc from Isadora. 
My 2 cents. Good luck

Greetings all,

I'm trying to load lens positions from memory for an Epson Pro L 1300. The solution was explored in this forum post by others about a year ago: https://community.troikatronix...

I'm using the http based User Actors that are shared by @jandraka in the post and am having no joy. I know I have a connection (I can use PJLink with no problem and I can use the Epson Web Interface to control the projector.)in the post and am having no joy. I know I have a connection (I can use PJLink with no problem and I can use the Epson Web Interface to control the projector.)

I've tried both the non-password and password variations of the user actor (both with passwords programmed into the projector and with them cleared.) 

Reading this document: https://support.atlona.com/hc/... I think I need to send a hex string command to the projector to enable the ESC/VP protocol but I'm not sure how to do it. I should also note that the Hercules Setup Utility (instructions here: https://www.epson.eu/en_EU/faq...) works to send the TCP commands once I've sent the enabling hex string. 

I feel like I'm so close!

I recently got a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera 4K G2.

You can control these -and lots of other Blackmagic Cameras - using Blackmagic's REST API.

Someone has written a tutorial showing how to use Javascript or Python to control BM Cameras via the REST API.

Does that mean that, in theory, I could send commands to the camera directly from Isadora?

I am not a programmer. For someone who is and yes, @DusX, I am looking at you, how much work would it be to create a BM Camera Control Actor which does the same thing as the BM Camera Control WebUI?

Thank you!

Mark (not that Mark who definitely can program things!!)

@gaspar

what cameras are you using specifically? I'd love to try your solution on stage...

@Armando I'lll report more but I was able to drive an 8 HD video projector through 3g SDI with a Quadlink quad 2 all dedicated to outputs and didn't use the reference on a mac book pro (64 GB RAM 4TB HD) with and M1 Under Sequoia. The card worked wirthin a Sonnet Echo III cabinet . I have lots of things to say and willl report more but for the moment... the joy.

Immersive room in the Museu da Imegem e do Som Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil

Here we held an Izzycast workshop and will return in October to stablish a permanent link with a residency center ALl equipped and managed with izzycast.

More to come !!!!

Hi there, a possible alternative I'm still very happy with and which I already mentioned in the forum.
I use CCTV camera systems. There are lots of affordable options out there and they're very flexible.

• Their DVRs allow to combine different cameras (also some with Zoom or even PTZ) and control/set them independently (over de VCR... unfortunately not directly from ISADORA , as well as viewing them either individually or in simultaneous configurations as 4, 6 or 8 at a time. This way you considerably reduce the load on your PC, since you only require one capture card for all cameras. Regarding resolution seeing 4 cameras at a time is  at 1080, still gives you very usable 720 and many systems are now 4K, so you could get 4 x 1080 with just one capture card. And you can always use the single cam view to get the full resolution if needed.
• Cameras can be wireless, TCP/IP (also POE) or analogue with a relatively cheap coax cable you can run over 50m or more without any issues.
• CONS: The interface of the VCRs is usually not very clear nor comfy.
