Hi All

Running into a problem with a new video installation which requires accurate mapping. Using Isadora into a video projector, I carefully map the output. That video is output through the Syphon actor (set to same resolution and ProRez codec). Then I import into FCP so I can repeat the video clip until it's an hour or so long and export as H264. That goes on my Micca G2 (set for HD output) allowing the video can play constantly during the exhibit. The problem is that video size is not the same. A bit smaller and generally a little wanky in aspect ratio. Not a lot, but many adjustments necessary with projector position. Is the path to the finished video at fault, or is it the Micca?  I've used this system before several times but without the need for inch accuracy. Thanks for any insight, John

Did that first thing, no luck. Tried re-installing, no luck. Unplugged all the projectors (but kept all 3 monitors connected) and it started. Now I'll try it with all 8 projectors. 

Thanks for your help

And I want to create an actor that will read the incoming MTC and immediately jump to the correct scene.

 The question for me, is how do you find editing these timecodes to be easiest. I would build your approach around what you find easiest to edit/adjust.

zzy is starting as a background process

 Generally, you just need to kill the task in Task Manager, and restart.
This can happen occasionally if you have other software that conflicts in some way. Very difficult to know what software that might be, perhaps something else creating openGL contexts.

yes i have Nahimic

 If possible, update to Nahimic version 2, the issue was corrected in the new version.
If you can not upgrade, the only solution I know of is to remove/uninstall Nahimic cleanly.

@skulpture I made a tutorial about this actually....

@gpeddino I have been using Chataigne - it's a free open source timeline tool for Windows/mac/Linux. https://benjamin.kuperberg.fr/... Just sent a simple OSC, or MIDI message out into Isadora, super simple.

@ray

Go into Task Manager, Processes tab, find Isadora and "End Task".

Cheers,

Hugh

Hi All

Isadora is starting as a background process with no ui. Have deleted the preferences in the Troika Tronix roaming folder but that didn't help.  I had this same problem years ago but can't remember how to fix it...

Thanks

Izzy is starting as a background process. How can this be changed?
