Does anyone have experience with the ViewSonic LS850WU projector?thanksJean-François 

@jfg @Fred  I'm certain I've got an installer for the older X4 windows version saved on my PC, runs happily on Windows 10. Not got access to it today sorry, but I can check tomorrow. I think this is the link to the relevant bits, it's got the command line interface for mac there as well (Helpfully in 'Archive' rather than 'Legacy'). https://www.datapath.co.uk/datapath-archive-downloads/datapath-x4-archive I thought that Wall Designer was supposed to support X4 if the firmware was up to date but I may be wrong. I actually preferred the old interface to the new Wall Designer.[edit: sorry, I've read your post properly now and see you had this link already.]

@michelMany thanks. I must say, I do find it fascinating where you delve into user actors created by people who know what they are doing. Brilliantly simple yet I would not have come with that.This is fantastic. I did not believe there would be that level of detail but mainly thought there was actor named oddly (to me) that would achieve this.Thanks again.Very much appreciated.eamon

@ilesartuzi said: @woland yes! thanks, it's pretty much the same idea of using a TripleHead right? I'll try this  Yes, sort of. Making it one big video really helps things stay in synch. You may run into issues if your aspect ratios differ though. This method is also excellent when you're trying to edge-blend content across multiple projectors.

@woland said:  Unfortunately it's unlikely that Mark will be available to get new plugins to you by this date. We suggest going with @Juriaan 's solution for the time being.  The updated plugin (v0.9.5) for both Macintosh and Windows is now available on our plugins page.Best Wishes,Mark

Hi MichaelMany thanks for the pointers and the help.All now works perfectly.I have been a long time fan of Isadora and have only just come back into the realm of it due to a new job. I do appreciate the effort and advice I have received. It has been very helpful and has made me look good to a lot of people...:)!Thanks again.Eamon

@dbengali said: publish the blend mode (transparent, additive, opaque) for elements of IzzyMap mappings.  At the moment, it seems the only solution to have multiple blend modes for one mapping is to make separate copies of this mapping and manually change the blend mode for each.  However, if one has encapsulated the mapping in a user actor so that it can apply to an entire show, one must manually copy and paste mappings back into the other blend mode versions, and manually change the blend mode again.It would be amazing if we could just use an input parameter on a scene by scene basis to use the same user-actor-contained mapping with different blend modes.  I have logged this feature request in our sheet

@juriaan thank you ...good idea !!Best,

you're welcome. i use the Video Fader into Multimix combination regularly - often linked directly to the slider channels of a Korg NanoKontrol. the slightly confusing thing about it is that at zero it lets the video stream through, but at 100 its fully faded across to the background colour, so i tend to swap the MIN and MAX values so it works more like a hardware mixer.

@pbleopoldNo problem. About four years ago I spent three days going absolutely mad trying to figure this exact issue out. The forum pointed me in the right direction and now I include this step in all the shows I make.

@juriaanI was just testing and playing around on the patch you sent me. I copied and pasted the actor in the patch.@jhoepffner They had DHCP on so had the same subnet and ip class on the same network. I will be testing it again later today to see if it was something stupid on my side.ThanksAndy

Thanks a lot for the quick response. I guess, I better keep coordinates and "offset" separated... ;o) Best regards, T.

@dillthekraut That looks brilliant.All these suggestions look great. It took a while for responses to come so I didn't realise anyone had responded but I've just finished touring my last project and started on the one with the interactive walls. I've got a lot of tech and experimentation to begin but this is a fantastic starting point. I got a kinnect for £8 and a webcam and am away from home for 2 months so I'll have a play with those then try out the Pi/Arduino/touchboard suggestions in the new year. I'll share my progress.

@skulpture Thanks very much!

@bonemap said: Hi, Team viewer works with mobile devices as well so you can control your desktop with a tablet device. This is great for pairing a MBP and iPad for example. The other thing about Team Viewer is it allows remote desktop over the web and that makes it popular for providing direct support and intervention for clients and collaborations such as monitoring an installation computer.Best wishes Bonemap I use TeamViewer to give private Isadora workshops via the web, (with Skype or FaceTime), so folks can use my license to save their work. It works fabulously. I can show them things, and they can control my computer while working in the Patch.
