"Reverse-Engineering Zoom with Isadora

Site-Specific Performance for the Internet

04 January 2021

Jared Mezzocchi has been systematically exploring what Zoom and the editing program Isadora can offer theatre practitioners during the pandemic. He has been working in the field for over a decade and has explored it from multiple points of view—designer, director, playwright, artistic director. As a theatre educator, he launched an MFA program at University of Maryland in projection design, and he recently designed and co-directed Russian Troll Farm, the highly acclaimed Zoom theatre production. We Zoomed in November to talk about the production, how to reverse-engineer Zoom, Isadora as the way forward, and more."

Hey, this is just a post about how great live streaming is with Izzy and OBS. I definitely owe it to Mark in Guru Session 10 for laying the foundation on the endless possibilities! I ran my first live stream with a kinect, a few old laptops using NDI on skype, and the Epoch Cam app on my phone to do a colorful feedback loop with performers virtually tuning in or being physically present. If you're reading this and you've done a live stream using Izzy can you drop a link below?
Here's my stream (starts at 12min): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/7...

@skulpture how did you get on with the application and do you have any thoughts about it's use ?

@mc_monte Has been doing a bunch of tricky things with streaming video with synched audio and may have some insight.

@msanii @ianpep 

The Zoom version that reinstates NDI virtual input for Mac OSX is as follows:

May 24, 2020 version 5.0.4 (25694.0524) Download Type: Manual Download here: Download Center 

Re-enable virtual camera support Support for virtual cameras will be re-enabled for users on client version 5.0.4.  

I can also confirm that it is load hungry coming out of Isadora using what appears to be about 30% of load resources.

Out of curiosity, has there been any development on the OSC web socket that I believe was mentioned in the session

As of now, no. I am focused back on the main Isadora app at the moment. If we can roll that into the fall release, we will. You can read more about our plans in this forum thread.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Thanks for the answer.

Have a nice day

@n-jones thanks, there is a lot of great info in your post. Lots to research.

@mark

its a fairly new realtime web data socket (any sort of data).
see: https://www.tutorialspoint.com...
Many frameworks have support for Websockets now (not just JS as the article totes). Its been a web standard for a number of years.

Great, thanks for the help I really appreciate it. I'll have a look into both options and post an update with my results :)

I recently acquired a Blackmagic Design Web Presenter for a live streaming project.
It works perfectly as an input device for Isadora. It has two switchable video inputs, HDMI and SDI, with passthroughs for both, and an SDI PGM monitor out as well. Also RCA and XLR audio inputs.
It only outputs 720p, but gives a good, steady signal into Isadora via USB2.

It's rather more expensive than the other Blacmagic Capture devices, but its switchable dual inputs might be useful in certain situations.
Anyhow, it works, and I just wanted to share that with all you Isadorables.

@michel, thanks for the explanation, and for Syphon2NDI, it work.
indeed i need an intercotinental, with minimum delay. looking forward ...
