Hi all -
In the end, the issue was actually that in the projector's internal settings, the projector aspect was set to NATIVE, and when I changed it to FULL it spanned the entire area.
I think this has to do with the projector's ability to resize SDI (16:9) back to 16:10.
Hope this helps someone else in the future!
[SOLVED] Projector test pattern way bigger than Isadora output
Hi,
I see your issue
It is a good idea to reset the projectors internal geometry settings to clear the geometry settings from a previous setup ie. quick corner settings or other user defined settings will project a different bounds area to the projectors built n test patterns.
I hope this helps to solves your issue.
best wishes

is that grid some content you are projecting? It doesn't look like the Grid Isadora provides via the 'Output / Show Alignment Grid' menu.
If this is a grid image you are sending, perhaps you could switch 'keep aspect' to off on your Projector. This will warp the image, but will show you if there is black space that isn't being filled.
Otherwise, I expect its a scaling/ratio setting on the projectors input menu.
I would start by sending pure white to a projector with 'keep aspect' set to off. Just a 'Background Color' actor connected to 1 'Projector' actor.
Maybe with a new stage made in stage setup that is dead basic. No blending etc.
I'm stacking the projectors for brightness, but the double projectors isn't actually where the issue lies.
It's in the output size of the image when being sent from Isadora. Below I have a photo of the projector's test pattern (larger coverage), compared to a grid sent from Isadora (US Main 1).
I'm sure there some sort of weird aspect ratio thing going on, but I can't figure out what.

I don't see any sizing issues here. Although I don't understand why you are creating a 100% blend output. For me I'm a little confused about what you are trying to accomplish and where you are having issues?
So Stage US1 is a 100% blend of displays 6 & 7 which are black magic outputs
New Add-Ons : Opener and Closer user actors
Opener & Closer - Powerful tools for working with Sidecar applications.
I just published a new Isadora example file with two new Pythoner powered user actors.
Get it: https://troikatronix.com/add-o...
The tools require a small module be installed, but the project also includes the latest version of my Easy Python Setup Tool, which will build the require virtual environment for you in a minute.
These tools let you open applications 'hidden' so that the UI/Stage Outputs are not blocked, allowing you to work send/receive Spout/Syphon and/or OSC if the apps offer such things.
A use case I personally have used this approach for is launching my Kinect2Share application allowing my full native access to my Microsoft Kinect on windows.
FEEDBACK on the tools and the Setup process are greatly appreciated.

Can you include a screenshot of Stage Setup and the Display Overview (button near top right of Stage Setup window)?
[SOLVED] NDI issues with subnets
The apple integration connection is so great when you can use it. Low-latency and high resolution. In this case, the local network has worked (thank you all).
