thanks again Russel

Hi,

here is the prototype as Isadora 4 file:

Hi Armando,

I have compiled a demonstration system that uses the json actors for this dmx system in Isadora. I was able to work with the Data Array in conjunction with the JSON Bundler and JSON Parser.

I wanted the system to incorporate cross fading between datasets (cross fade between dmx states for each light channel). To do this a triggered Envelope actor loop for each dmx channel is incorporated as user actor in the chain after the data record and playback functions.

The demonstration patch was 6 rgbwau led par lights - total of 36 dmx channels. The control panel elements were grouped into 6x6 for RGB Color and individual sliders…

The control data was linked to 36 JSON Bundler value inputs. This JSON Bundler output was then linked to a single value input of a Data Array. The functionality of the Data Array was available to capture, add, delete, insert, recall etc. the single line element of the JSON data.

The value output of the Data Array linked to a JSON Parser which exposed the 36 values from the lines recorded and recalled by the Data Array.

yes I encountered the same issue.

hi,

Thank you so much for demonstrating this workaround - I am wondering if you encountered the same issue and buggy behaviour working with the Color data type through the Data Array?

Best wishes

Russell

perhaps something like that:

in the Text Formatter:   P1:Z3 P2:Z3 P3:Z3 P4:Z3

Best regards,

I will make a comparison of building a dmx lighting system with json sets and Data Array sets to see what is possible. At present the system will be used for a show that deploys wdmx rgbwau led battery pars and multiple projectors for an outback touring circuit. Basically a virtual lighting board. So want the ability to preview, record, delete, insert, add, replace value sets that can be cued for performance. The Data Array is an obvious choice for this kind of functionality.

 Hi @woland,

Thanks for your advice about using the json option for building a dmx system. I will definitely have a look at how that might work. The system I am designing uses the functionality of the Data Array to record, recall, delete, replace, add etc. for a series of WDMX rgbwau battery par lights. The values are previewed through the system and then recorded in value sets that can then be triggered as cue’s. Of course the Data Array has that functionality straight up so is an obvious choice. I found using the Color data type through the Data Array buggy.

Best wishes

Russell

Have you considered using the JSON Bundler and JSON Parser to bundle and unbundle the HSBA values for transportation through a single data line?
