The world has certainly changed in this time
Here are some VISCA capable cameras

Wireless sensing -> Pipo Interfaces

I would like to take this opportunity to fully recommend Pipo Interfaces. I've been helping to test the prototypes during the Dance Hacks, and they are the most stable and practical movement sensors I have used in 15 years of plugging dancers into Isadora.
Just to give some additional context to @dbini's comment for anyone reading this who doesn't know him:
John is a long-time Isadora power-user and *really* knows what he's talking about, so what I've quoted above should be considered *extremely* high praise.

Hello there,
I would like to share a major update for the Pipo project: the pre-order campaign has launched !
The project has come a long way.
You'll find the new showcase video, new images and more info on the campaign page: https://www.crowdsupply.com/pi...
If you know people who might be interested, spread the word, tell them to subscribe on the page — communication will be key in gathering enough traction for this project to actually become a reality.
A big thank you for the early support I received here.
Best
Rupert
Bin Picker thumbnails
@dbini said:
Media Thumbnail resolution up to 640px
This resolution is created (when you use file/Rebuild Media Thumbnails). If you are using the 'Bin Picker' control, you will see an immediate update to the thumbnails, since the default of 48px is less than the default thumbnail size of the bin picker (64px). Of course if you set the preference to 256 and the Bin Picker thumb size to 256, you have large clear images.
Bin Picker thumbnails
Did this ever get addressed? In Isadora 4 the Settings menu has an option to define Media Thumbnail resolution up to 640px, but changing this value does not have any effect on the size of the thumbnails, even after rebuilding, or restarting and importing new media.
I would love to have the option for slightly larger thumbnails for my animation patches.
OPEN CALL: ODHX
... and here is what we got up to during the residency:
thanks to Troikatronix, Pipo Interfaces and Basti Kuhz for supplying tech, and Valve Cultural Centre for the space.
Marshall does have some pretty neat budget cameras for broadcast level.
Especially the mini cameras are a nice alternative to the usual action cams, having professional connectors and being remotable.
The Marshall CV605 is a little PTZ for around 800€.

For the MiniCams: Marshall does have their own expensive remote. But some guys have a diy project to get them on PoE and software remote.
hello,
i own a blackmagic video assist 7" 12G HDR monitor and i wouldn't want to be without it. on the one hand, i use it for almost every setup - i do rather complex (live) video installations as part of live performances - to check whether HD-SDI or HDMI signals are sent or arrive at the end and in which resolution and frame rate (both are displayed by the monitor).
i have also used the device several times to record signals, mostly as throughput, both as an “extended display” on the HDMI output of a mac and to record a single live video signal via HD-SDI before the input in isadora. in this case, i connected the incoming camera signal to the HD-SDI input and the HD-SDI output to an HD-SDI-capable capture card on/in the computer.
i have also done the second (throuput via HD-SDI) during live shows and did not have the impression that this increases the latency of the live video. however, i have not really tested this yet.
with the first variant (throuput via HDMI), i had the impression just yesterday, when i used the video assist as a second external monitor on my mac for a quick test, that there was a slightly higher latency than with the second connected “normal” monitor. however, the “normal” monitor was also connected to the native HDMI output of the mac book pro, while the assist was connected to the HDMI output of a small noname thunderbolt dock. this could also be the reason for more latency.
of course, the latency issue is only important in live situations. i also often use the device to record content developed in isadora cleanly and without additional cpu load. but actually only video. the blackmagic video assist can of course also record sound via HDMI.
what i don't quite understand is what you mean by “could it take video signal straight from Izzy”. does that mean you would want to connect the device to the output of a computer-internal video card, for example, so that it is not connected via a normal graphics output but from isadora directly via the video card? that should of course also work.
as far as the stupid orange dot is concerned: since i don't work much with live sound, i'm not quite up to date. isn't it somehow possible to switch it off anyway?
so much for now, if you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
greetings,
benjamin
@juriaan Thanks for your input on this! I have the Enttec and am working with it. Look forward to seeing this work around. Much appreciated!
