Just curious if there is still a way to purchase licenses to earlier versions of Isadora. Here I specifically am wondering about 2.6.1.

I am looking to permanently install a art piece that was built using a lot of the old 32 bit actors so I would need to get a license for version 2 on the computer i install at the location.

Sounds like you're trying to control an LED Par via DMX with Isadora, but I'm a little confused by your mention of a projector.

Anyway, all you need to know is the DMX address of the LED Par, and you should be able to use this file by @DusX to control it: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/dx-dmx-universe-enttec-compatible/

I'm also going to log a feature request to move this to the Actor menu. Doesn't make sense that it's not with all the other actor-related show/hide menu options.

Thanks a lot for figuring this out!

 No problem. Just FYI, I'm going to trim this thread a bit so anyone searching the forum for this in the future can skip the parts that aren't important.

Ouch. Fat fingers!

Thanks a lot for figuring this out!

Hello all,

I am trying to control m’y Adj Mega Par Pofile spot with the DMX Actor, but the Actor seems to be sending and DMX string, because the display on the back of the projectif flashes.  The projector is connected with a DMX-USB working d’ongle, caus I am able to control the spot with the Qcl+ app.

So, I would need some help, to understand the problem, if someone was able to make that projector contrôlable with Isadora

Thank for any help.

@eight

I'm silly. There's a menu option for it in the View Menu. I just never use this feature so I didn't remember it existed.

Could this be possible, to swich between multiple different videos and simply having one output?

Yes, quite easily:

Hello,
That sounds good and easy:) I have one VJ, who has an option of having 3 different videos, while he is making a concert. I imagine this would be 2 different setups, but maybe there is a way with a swich system? Could this be possible, to swich between multiple different videos and simply having one output? I have personally done either one or the other. But maybe its possible with a variety?
All the best Eva

you could add a HDMI switch into the mix before the splitter(s) - these are cheap and readily available

I've also used HDMI switches. 

Slightly more expensive, but also a possibility is a KVM switch so you can use the same mouse and keyboard for both computers (if they're both desktops). You could also combine an HDMI switch and a USB switch to accomplish the same thing.
