As always, thanks for your help. But unfortunately I seem to be buried in a large knowledge gap. 

Regarding the interface, I'm fortunate enough to have access to an ENTTEC ODE Mk3 through the guys I work for occasionally. But I think (???) this is a device that connects over ethernet ad the patch you've provided is for a USB interface. I'm assuming this set up is a little different? Im assuming the connection via the serial port is not relevant? There is a warning that comes up about serial port not being activated and 'com 8' is 'off-line' when I go into serial port set up.

I have had success connecting via the Artnet send actor but I think im still lost in what settings to use in the inputs and outputs. Although Isadora knows it's there it won't do anything. Is this where the matrix send/recieve actors come in to set up the DMX channels? 

Ive played around with your scene 'minimum required', attempting to alter that with ArtNet actors. But not convinced Im barking up the correct tree. I feel that if I could get that scene to do something I would have overcome my largest hurdle.(?)

Have also looked through the other material referenced here by others (Thanks guys) but there just seems to be a whole lot of stuff Ive not yet got my head around.

Any suggestions?

@tatrapikao You have to first re-encode to HAP and then re-wrap to AVI.

Does that work?

Cheers,

Hugh

unfortunately this seems to be still an issue in 2026. Rewrapping does not help (it starts playing backwards but will freeze after some frames..). If Anyone has a workaround to complement the workaround it would be much appreciated.

In the program you can also go to Help > Isadora Manual...

The section Actor Reference is what you're looking for

@mmharvey

There's a complete list of actors and a description of their functions in the manual.

You can find that by going to the help menu in Isadora, or downloading it directly here:

Hope this is what you were looking for :-)

Is there a list somewhere of all of the actors in Isadora and a description of what they do? I think this would be so helpful.

Thank you.

Michael

@juriaan

Thanks. Just found this topic. I assume it's all still relevant. Thanks this is just what I need as I'm setting up the exact same hardware.

@video-architect

Do you have an interface for DMX yet?

You likely want either something Enttec compatible or something for ArtNet. Both work similar but slightly different (although you can swap the outputs once you know how these work)

My Add-on is a common starting point for Enttec interfacing, it has both a user actor and a demo file: TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - DX – DMX Universe – Enttec compatible

another possibility on Mac is syphon Recorder. I use it always, it is easier to configure as OBS and it works very well:

try the OBS

 This is definitely the way to do it.
