Thanks Juriaan, but how do I create the forward curved surface of the column in IzzyMap? In the example there are only straight surfaces.

Well this is quite a broad question;

- You need to calculate the distance from your projector surface to make sure that you have a big enough surface to work it

- Calculate the amount of lumen you need for the optimal result

- Calculate the distance between the optimal spot / angle of the projector and your PC, you might need an other cable to boost the signal in such a way that you don’t lose / get a flickering connection. All cable’s have a max distance until you need to work with repeaters

- In Isadora, look for IzzyMap, our projection mapping tool. This tool allows you to cut a portion of the picture / shape it.

For more information about IzzyMap, checkout our YouTube channel. Mark (Creator of Isadora) did an entire session about IzzyMap

"I want to project a video onto the front side of a column with a diameter of 120 cm and a height of 240 cm using a ceiling-mounted projector for an installation. I’m still quite new to using Isadora 4. How can I best accomplish this task?"

I have issue with Isadora 3 on Twitch TV. It automatically records everything from my PC microphone and Live Capture is off.

So glad it worked for you. I see that you have a delimiter of "10", I am wondering why that choice? The delimiter is one element I was thinking about changing a bit.

Hi Ryan,

I was super curious to try your UDP actors—Thanks for generously providing them! I immediately set up an interface between Isadora and the software ZigSim to send JSON messages via UDP from my iPhone. The UDP receiver actor worked effectively for this data stream. 

Great work and thank you!

Best Wishes,

Hello all, I hope you have had a wonderful new year.

I am writing to let you know I just listed a couple user actors I have been working on. They use Pythoner internally, and work with the default Python Libraries, so nothing more needs to be installed.

They allow UDP communications, in ASCII, UTF-8, and Binary. Both to send and receive.

I would love it if any of you have time to give them a try and provide your feedback.

The issue with Smart home devices is that all devices are speaking a different language; ZigBee / Matter / Infrared / Bluetooth LE to just name a few. And all those devices have their own app / or their own way of 'working'.

What I did in my own house, is I used a 'in between' product that allows me to use a mixture of different devices. Some people are using HomeAssistant for this; others will utilize a Raspberry Pi or a Cloud based solution.

I use a Homey Pro for that purpose, which is the 'heart' of the operation. Within that I have flows, to control all the machinery / lights / blinds / etc in my home.

Since we now have one interface, and one machine to control it becomes 'easier' to trigger those operations, by using their SDK / Web API. Which can be a great solution for the idea that you have.. Just takes a hot sec to setup / verify before you enter the rehearsal space.

Oh and please, a theater is very different than a 'home', there can be much more signals in the air / or other factors causing things to fail. Smart Home products were never meant for the theater, and require a lot of testing. Please do not use them as 100% fail-safe operations for a practical effect in theater, or an important scene where something 100% has to work. If that is the case, use the products that were designed for that purpose / and the protocols that were designed for it.

You are, as ever, amazing.

Thanks so much for the comprehensive answer: looks like I’ll be able to do what I want to do. Which is great. Thanks for the offer of further assistance. Much appreciated and I’ll take you up on that if and when the time comes.

many thanks
