Just what the subject line says.  The contrast filter isn't enough to make a video sharp sometimes, a sharpness actor would be a big help, unless it's already there and I haven't found it.   

Also when working on a show the stage preview window is so tiny that I can't see what I'm doing.  You should be able to zoom in and adjust the window size too.

I use both a older Behringer UMC404 (which is 4 channels in and out) and the MOTU Ultralite MK5 which is has an easy analog 8 in and 10 out. Both work great with Isadora.

also wondering why the text output from Isadora looks a little jaggy and not clean even when the resolution is set to 1080P

 To add to Marks thoughts, do remember that in the screen captures shown the Preview Windows are scaled down from the target size. Text will look cleanest when rendered to the full stage output.

@dusx I just tested it and crashed again after set ON on the broadcast input. BUT if I turn On the broadcast input without the video input receiving any source and then I the conect to the video source it doesnt crash but still doesnt transmit...strange

Maybe someone in the forum with a Macbook Pro M3 (2023) with Sonoma who can confirm ? Or a "check step" to rule out possible problems...

(thanks for the Rosetta tip...shoud I leave always checked that option ? or only when Im going to use the Kinect?) 

Best,

 Try attaching a background color actor to the vid-gpu input of the text draw actor and see if that improves things.
Set the horz and vert sizes on the background colour actor to your stage size. You can set alpha in that actor to zero if you need to.
Should do the trick.

@tingkumajique

It looks like you are working in the right direction as far as having multiple Text Draw actors, and dynamically setting values between them. 
@Woland 's user actors may be helpful as mentioned.

In Isadora 4, you could use Python to render Text to an image for overlay. Using PIL (and maybe adding FreeType) you could build up a dynamic template via code that would give you precise control. I believe you could get the position of the bottom edge of the first line, allowing you to move down if the first line wraps. (although the rather New position outputs of the Text Draw actor should allow the same)

Oh no....I did't you are right 

 You shouldn't need Rosetta for any actor other than OpenNI Tracker. RTMP should work for you.

Can you walk me on the Rosetta activation or procedure please? 
- You find the Isadora application (.app file), right click and open 'get info', then check 'open with rosetta'. Close the Information window.

 Is there any uncompatibility using rosetta with others softwares?
I don't know of any. Only Isadora is affected by this setting, all other apps you run will run in their normal way.

I attached the file from the add-ons. Perhaps you can download this one?

@jfg you're an absolute hero,

I knew that I'd done something like this before, I just couldn't get my brain to work.

Thanks.

I think this could work:
