Couple of questions.
-
Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie with Isadora and practicing with the demo version for about a month . I've been through all the mark's tutorials which are very helpful, but I still have a couple of general questions. Sorry if this questions has been already treated in the past._ Isadora is controllable via Dmx but is there any actors to send or receive Artnet protocol ( which is basically Dmx over ethernet) ?_ Can Isadora be synched with timecode (SMPTE or MTC) ?_ I use Isadora on a mac but I tried it on windows too, and I noticed that there's some actors ( 3D smoke for instance) which are not available on the mac version. Is there a reason for that ?Thanx for your answers. -
Hi, welcome to the forum.
_ Isadora is controllable via Dmx but is there any actors to send or receive Artnet protocol ( which is basically Dmx over ethernet) ?You can use Quartz Composer tools for artnet: [http://kineme.net/product/ArtNetTools](http://kineme.net/product/ArtNetTools)And to control DMX you need to use something like a LANBOX or ENTTEC; more info on the recommended page here: [http://troikatronix.com/support/recommended/](http://troikatronix.com/support/recommended/)_ Can Isadora be synched with timecode (SMPTE or MTC) ?You can sync them via OSC but not directly with SMPTE or MTC. There are a few custom MTC actors floating about but more for show control not timing in a linear fashion._ I use Isadora on a mac but I tried it on windows too, and I noticed that there's some actors ( 3D smoke for instance) which are not available on the mac version. Is there a reason for that ?Mac and PC use different frameworks and Mark does his upmost to keep them the same. 3D smoke isn't actually supposed to be publicly available I think it slipped through the net from one of Marks shows :) if its working then you are lucky ;)Core Video actors are mac only and based around Quartz Composer which is mac only. You can't access them on Windows.Hope this helps for now :) -
Thanx for your answers. It did help.
