MIDI Show Control is for communication and integration between different hardware and software. It's a way for them to trigger each other's cues and things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_Show_Control

hello to everybody!!

I find so questions to when I meet this actor ‘send MIDI show Control’.

I’ remaining in to hope it so fascinating ; but concretely I don’t understand anything and more like this can be used.

I pray to you to explain more info about it, a particular description that if use for synth or for example to connect to a midi clip of ableton, for describe their events. Port and device Id, in the origin.

thank you I hope in you

ok guys, thank you so much 

naw I looked your answer, but soon I will try your instructors.

See you soon!!!

@woland thanks for your reply!

I try to look out if there's an actor capable to process a video with an STmap...

Hi, 

I successfully tested birdog cameras with the visca alpha actor. And tomorrow morning I'll test this amazing guy !!

Datavideo PRT10 Mark II robotic pan tilt head with motors that can control zoom and focus. The amazing thing is that the movement is very smooth. Much better that the Nirdog (In the Birdog the movements seems to have les steps). Plus the Birdog cameras, (that I like a  lot by the way for certain uses) will never be as good in theatrical conditions in low lights. Datavideo heads allow me to use our Blackmagic Pocket 6k pro with Canon Series L f2.8 lenses that have a high dynamic range and are super il low lights. I'll report here the findings. Prior fast test didn't allow me to control it. I hope it will be better tomorrow.

Cheers

 It's still in beta but you're welcome to try it out. Send in a support ticket using the link in my signature. We'd love some more feedback about it.

Hi all, trying to control some PTZs over VISCA with Izzy and came across this old post. Anyone get this working? @woland and word about that VISCA plugin?

@john-0

The easiest way to do this right now would be Python I believe, since there are definitely libraries out there for recognizing QR codes, and you can feed video into the Pythoner actor. Feel free to send in a support ticket using the link in my signature if you'd like to try out the beta version of the Pythoner actor.

Right now our focus is on finishing IzzyCast. The change to the addressing system isn't coming as a whole right now because it's a big task that will require an overhaul and extensive testing in many areas, but what is coming is the ability to show and hide Controls programmatically. If used cleverly with Gates, Selectors, and Routers you can create multiple "pages" or "tabs" of controls (sort of like TouchOSC). If you build logic to have Gates stop data from flowing to actors whose Controls are hidden, you can theoretically use any Control ID any number of times in your patch (e.g. you could use the Control IDs "100-110" 20 times each in your patch, but if your logic only allows data through the Gates associated with the visible Controls, it doesn't cause any problems). Send in a support ticket using the link in my signature if you'd like the beta build in order to try out this new feature.

The only workaround I can think of right now is to make controls "routable", e.g. have a Popup Menu control that lets you choose which of X different functions changing the Slider control below it will affect.

Here's an example file where this method let me use only 12 Control IDs for 24 parameters: >>>FILE DOWNLOAD<<<

The amount of Control IDs this method saves you increases the more actors to which you are routing data. For example, the routing I set up for the "bypass" inputs on my 7 video actors in that example file only uses 2 Controls IDs (one to select which actor's bypass, and one to turn that bypass on or off) instead of 7 (one for each actor's bypass). This saved me 5 Control IDS working with 7 actors, but if I scaled this up to 60 video actors, I'd still only need to use 2 Control IDs total, (which would save me 58 Control IDs!).

hello.  I'm looking for a way to use a QR code inside Isadora. Either via iPhone scanners or a physical Barcodescanner. (usb HID?)

Many (free) QR scanners out there that work fine, but how can I get them to trigger anything inside Izzy?

Help is very much appreciated!!
