      Hi,

      Does anybody know if the datapath HX4 (it's for animations 24fps) can communicate with Isadora?

      Does anybody know how I set the stage set up so 4 different video's will come out the datapath? 

      I will edit 4 different video's in a video of 16: 9 3840px - 2160px

      Did anybody install the datapath so it's working with Isadora?

      In the forum I read a lot about all kinds of black magic and cards, do I need to buy any extra hard- or software in order to make the datapath work?

      I am totally new to working with a datapath. Hope someone knows more about this!

      Thank you very much. I will work with a MacOS 10.15.7 , but will receive a windows laptop from the exhibition space to install the installation, but don't know yet which laptop. I need the datapath to work on Mac and windows if possible. 

      Best, Erin

        I have used the Datapath a few times and made a patch for it. You don't need extra hardware just send a 4K output over HDMI. This is only the Isadora side. You also have to configure the Datapath with its own software.

            If you want to use each datapath output individually (1/4 of the 4k = 1920x1080 per output): https://recordit.co/d1f94PZ6eF

            1. Output Menu > Stage Setup
            2. Create four Stages by clicking the "+" symbol at the bottom left of the Stage list (or by duplicating the existing stage three times)
            3. Set each Stage to use the same display (the Datapath 4k display)
            4. Click on the Display tab
            5. Change the split for each Stage to a different quarter of the display
            6. Done

            If you want to use the four datapath outputs as a single 4k display (made up of four 1080p displays): https://recordit.co/O4TPYLYYTE

            1. Output Menu > Stage Setup
            2. Click the "Blend Maker" button at the bottom left
            3. Section #2: Select "Quad (2x2) Splitter, e.g. Datapath Fx4"
            4. Make sure that the display to the right of that selection is the correct display for the Datapath
            5. Section #3: You can leave the resolution as 1920x1080
            6. Section #4: Change the overlap percentage to 0% of the display (if you're going for a 2x2, 4x1, or 1x4 layout with no edge-blending) or 20% (suggested overlap for edge-blending if you're doing a 2x2, 4x1, or 1x4 layout)
            7. Section #5: Select your arrangement (usually 2x2, 4x1, or 1x4)
            8. Section #6: This should be fine without changing anything (you can always adjust it later in the actual Stage that's about to be created).
            9. Press the "Create Setup" button at the bottom right.

            Best wishes,

            Woland
