@dbini good to have a heads up from someone who has worked with LED floods, I'll be your thoughts on mind whilst I'm problem solving.

I won't have the same problem with exposure since I'm using a camera capable of manual exposure, but it's definitely worth putting on people's radar if they're using this fire reference later.

@citizenjoe like I said above I'm ideally looking for a solution which doesn't rely heavily on in house fixtures, but it's good to have this info as a back up.

@fred absolutely, the plan is to use a Sony a5100 that has had its IR and UV cut filters removed from the sensor then add an 850nm filter onto the lens. 

So in theory, if both the LED arrays and the photographic filter have both been sold with accurate information. I should get a very clean 850nm image.

Here's hoping.

 This is what I use; Lee 87:

What is the actor that receives a PTZ camera feed via ip?

I found all the PTZ control actors, but nothing that gets the source.

I made a workaround by using OBS to get the camera feed and output to spout. I then used the spout receiver actor in Izzy for the PTZ. Please tell me there's a more direct way.

I remember a long time ago in v1 or 2 I was entering ip addresses somewhere, but can't find it in v3 or 4.

Thank you!

As al you really need is contrast you can also opt for lighting the floor and not the performer with IR. This does require that your visible lighting for the performer and anything else in your set has minimal IR (or better yet none) content. 

You will also see a great improvement if you camera also blocks visible lighting using an IR pass filter. Not many IR cameras have this built in, but Midwest optics sell a variety of filters you can put over your camera lens. 

Using these I have had good results getting solid reliable tracking of movement from above. Ie using  cheap IR floods to light the floor and not the performer. 

@dusx Thanks so much! I just wrote you back via email.

@stagename

Really depends on the amount of scenes that have this behavior. What I normally use for this is an 'Background scene' and 'Virtual Stages'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FakW7s7pDao, this goes over 'Background scenes'

Virtual Stages basically create a virtual container, that you can sent your footage to (and do things like color correction). Then in my main background scene, I grab those virtual stages again and I sent them thru the Stages that actually have the displays associated with them.

Hi all,

I have 3 stages/screens for a theatre show, for ease A, B, and C. What is the most effective way to cue a video change on one screen without effecting looping videos on the other two? I can't seem to work out how to move to a new scene/Q without reseting a loop or causing a blip. Is there a video or documentation that explains this?

Thanks

@dusx I'm just using a single projector to test it. I'm using an epson ex7230 projector if that helps. I will try upgrading to the newest version to see if that does anything.
