It looks like the KPKUE X90M can only be connected by USBC.

The one that I have linked to has three HDMI inputs, and I would think that would work well to emulate your studio setup on the road. I don't know if you need drivers to make it function this way (as opposed to connecting via USBC). 

I would never upgrade anything just before a major tour... that's kind of asking for trouble!

@mark_m

The other issue I have 

Is the drivers they supply need macOS 12 software 

I Run Isadora 3.1.1 with Catalina (macOS 10-15-7

I have a massive tour in 3weeks am I right in saying upgrading could change some of my settings ?

@tr742

Is it one of these that you're going to buy?

dear All 

I’m about to purchase a 3  screen display 1 input

I use Isadora in theatres via 3 projection screens have done same for 5 years. 
problem is building & editing show at the moment done in my studio with 3 lcd screen connected to 3 ports in my MacBook Pro. 
this works well 

The 3 screen display is very transportable & can be used during the tour in say hotel rooms. 

Has anybody out there done this ?

It uses 1 display port type c

If I programme with Isadora will software be ok with this and video outputs be my new screens (via 1 thunderbolt connector) or my beamers (via 3 outputs from my mac ) depending what output equipment is plugged will not affect my Isadora programming 

As alway many thanks

hi Ryan,

Thinking along the same lines I made a quick fixer with Text Parser and similarly thought about JavaScript. I will check out your offer though, and appreciate that we might return to the stripped iteration of the actor in future releases.

Best wishes

@bonemap

I can confirm this is a know issue, I have documented recently.
I suspect we will return this to the previous behaviour.
I made a User Actor that can handle this in a backward compatible way, so you we don't need to remove it again in the future when the issue is fixed.

dx-strip-quotes-from-json-parser.iua4

Could have done the same thing with JavaScript, but 'maybe' its lighter weight with native actors.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if it is intended for the quotation mark delimiters to be stripped from the output parameters of the Json Parser? 

In Isadora previously and including 4.0.9 the quotation marks were stripped at the output of the Json Parser actor as seen in this screen grab:

When I use the same in 4.1.3 the quotation marks appear as delimiter at the output:

Unfortunately this has rendered a number of my projects dysfunctional so I am wondering if this is the new norm or something that will revert back to previous versions?

Best Wishes,

Russell

Thanks for sharing. Love to see what artists are doing with Isadora features.

Like you, I have had a lot of fun with MediaPipe in Isadora. It is remarkable how accurate and stable the tracking is and it is not too bad at dealing with occlusion issues. My next step is using a thermal or infrared camera system so that the interactivity makes sense in a blackbox/low light performance setting. MediaPipe is really effective with available light cameras as long as there is lots of light - I am looking for a solution for this that works with theatrical/performance lighting that is a lot more subtle. My debut performance with this tracking was a 'cats cradle' game. During intermissions members of the audience at an outdoor film festival could play with virtual strings between their fingers while the Isadora stage was projected onto a giant mango tree next to a large cinema screen. The low latency and accuracy made for a fun audience experience. My only issue was having to light the participant enough to get good tracking and then this lighting interfering with the participant observing the projection - for the onlookers it worked really well. Projection always seems to work better when you can mitigate control and limit other light sources.

This screengrab matches Pythoner MediaPipe with Isadora's 3D Ropes actor module and a Motion Blur. I really appreciate the output effect of this with the physics of the 3D Ropes creating a very responsive live dynamic.

I just wanted to share the success I’ve had using Isadora’s ‘Pythoner Actor’ with MediaPipe (segmentation and pose landmark detection) and any decent camera feed (in my case an iPhone) to track individual body parts (up to 33). Also, by using its segmentation output with the ‘alpha mask’ actor, I’m able to add textures to the segmentation, or place the alpha mask output to any background. 

It’s been great fun and has founds its way into my interactive stage work.

Also, on the topic of time-code, perhaps this bundle of add-ons will be useful to you.
