If you use Isadora on both computer and both are on the same network.

Computer A to capture the pictures: 

- set the captured Media Folder to a folder on Computer B

- patch on computer A:

- create a virtual stage and set the projector and the Capture stage to Picture actors to this stage

Computer B:

use a script to load the content of the folder in Isadora. see Tutorial:https://support.troikatronix.c... and the script 641ffe-watch-isadoracore-mediabinload.scpt.zip  on the forum page https://community.troikatronix...

Ok, so there are a number of things that affect how you would do this:

1. Whether the heatmap software can output video over Syphon/Spout or NDI.
2. Whether the heatmap is being generated on another computer or on the same computer as Isadora.
   1. If so then also whether you want to send the video over a network (NDI) or use a physical capture device.
3. Whether you need to keep every image of the heatmap video feed or you only need the most recent one.

I've created an Isadora file that roughly explains how to do this based on the different combinations of these different factors.

Hi there:)
I am experimenting with how e.g. a heat map, that is created from another computer can manipulate something else during an installation.
So my question for anyone knowing about sending something to Isadora could tell me, if and how it is possible to send photo to Isadora, and then incorporate it in a patch?
What I mean is: There is a computer creating heatmaps over time. I want to take in this heat map, and e.g. use this to change the color of the lighting in the space. So my question is, how do I take in photos during an installation and get isadora to registrate this new photo in an actor?
Is this an option? Or do anyone have other Ideas?
Many thanks for any help or ideas:) Eva

PS: the light part is up and running:) 

Hi, 

I fell over this little thing, that seems easy to get used and not so expensive. 

https://www.sourceaudio.net/ho...

Did anyone use it with Isadora? I imagine it could be a very cool feature to use to access the dancefloor during a concert while controlling the visual surface:)

But I dont know if the setup allows that?

I will love to hear experiences:) 

Cheers

Hi, I am using a Mac Studio (the small of thd 2 standard versions). And just like other people with M1 Macs, its doing everything very smooth:) For me it was the best quality for the least amount of money that was easily accessible time wise, and with plenty of space to plug in whatever needed. I have bought a portable monitor that doesnt take up much space, so I can have everything in a normal size 28L backpack... I have only so far been running it with 2 projectors. 

Running multiple video surfaces on 3d objects moving is no problem. I use different kinds of live input, and so fare it us running well:) My boundary for what I imagine combining and layering in Isadora has moved to a new dimension:) When I think I am pushing it, there is no sign so farof that reality:

All the best

@dbini this great thank you 


@Woland Totally the look we are going for too, thank you!

@dusx So helpful, Thank you so much!

Here, I also fooled around just now a bit with the Get Stage Image and Spinner actors to make a simple example file with a video feedback loop.

You should also check out the different snapshots at the top left (the numbers to the right of the little camera icon) as I saved a few variations for each of the two Scenes.
