preferably by adding a 'carriage return'. but could be through reducing text size.

Also both of these could be accomplished programatically with some logic.

Additionally, if the text is known ahead of time and you want to avoid seeing the adjustments being made live, you could have two Stages with one of the Stages being what you're sending to the video output, and the second Stage being a Virtual Stage where the adjustments happen to what will be the next piece of text shown. The adjustments made to the second (non-visible) Stage can then be written to the text file with the Data Array actor so that the numbers and text are already corrected for when the Data Array actor hooked up to the real output Stage moves on to show that text.

Also worth noting that with newer iPhones and newer Apple computers that are on the same iCloud account, the iPhone will just show up as a camera source in Input > Live Capture. I think they communicate over Bluetooth, but I can't say for sure how they're talking to each other. I just ran into this while assisting with a workshop last week where the participants had newer phones and computers than I did

Yikes!

I bump into this quite regularly. An ongoing challenge when teaching projection work. 

I once did some work for an academic institution and found out that a different department than the one I was working for had just purchased a bunch of Rokoko SmartSuits. The SmartSuits require a wifi network to work, and the university would neither allow the department to connect the suits to an existing network, nor set up a separate network, so they basically had US$10k+ worth of electronic paperweights.

This is all very helpful, thank you!

I am still on Izzy 3

My bad, here's one you can actually use with Isadora 3: text-draw-aware-of-text-wrapping.iua3

Basically the "measure mode" input is the key

@video-architect

text-draw-aware-of-text-wrapping.iua4

Does this help?

Getting any settings changed on the in house network infrastructure is often impossible  - ergot it is way easier to bring your own isolated network you can tune to your needs.

Just a warning that I've run into educational institutions with ironclad security where I've not been allowed to set up my own network, even if it's not connected to their network nor the internet.

@jfg that's a really clever solution actually.

I'm now hooked up and working and figuring out the Matrix Value Send Actor and its relation to the Channels on the Chauvet, which is a bit counterintuitive at this point but I'm getting that sorted
