Hi,

PTZ cameras are one device option to look at. I am thinking perhaps the proliferation of gimbals is another - somewhat related device - that can be considered for Izzy plugin development. I have a DJI Ronin M and a Ronin S gimbal and just a quick comparison of cost suggest these possibly  provide good value and flexibility compared to the PTZ camera lineup - admittedly they are a BYO camera option. The PTZ cameras appears to have some shared protocol, but the diversity of gimbal makes and models are likely all proprietary. Still I would definitely use an Isadora Plugin that implemented gimbal control as an alternative to acquiring a PTZ camera. Specifically because the gimbal allows any number of camera types to be mounted and offer comparable functionality to PTZ.

Just a thought.

Best wishes

Russell

Hi, I've packaged up the Selector solution with User Actors with a completely horrible little Javascript rolodex. But when set up for the first time it is one click to shunt sources around.

Cheers,

This is where I started having questions about the alpha channel in the NDI output. It seems like having an alpha channel in an NDI feed takes more system resources/bandwidth, and with so many NDI sources going, it seemed like it would be good to have the option of not having the alpha channel in the NDI output if it's not necessary.

Well, it's just the one feed from Isadora in the end -- obviously it's not the eight feeds from vMix. But I will work on adding an option to the beta that allows you to disable the alpha channel on the output.

But if you need the frame rate fix immediately, please contact open a ticket (which will get to @Woland) so that you can become a beta tester. The team does not yet have the fix you need, but I can get it done this week for you.

Because we've primarily working on enhanced audio features, I feel the beta will be quite stable if you're not digging in to those particular features.

Best Wishes,

@jfg @mark

Thank you so much!

now works also for me on macOS Mojave

@woland and the others: IT WAS A NETWORK PROBLEM! (not Hackintosh related)

I'm a bad network setter, I know it, but I thaught this time I learned my lesson... so I created a sub-network 255.255.255.255... meaning I was closing all gates! 

A friend explained why the receiver could anyway see the other mac but I don't get it.

after that I did a 255.255.0.0 sub-network and it worked fine.

For network alergics like me, I put a print screen (sorry in french)

IP Adress1: 168.168.0.2 , IP Adress2: 168.168.0.3

After that I was able to have two good NDI feed (both sides) and a OSC transmit.

Thanks for your help,

Best,

Yes, as the SDK changes newer tools are not compatible with tools built against the older SDK's. There is some leeway in this but in general that is the way it goes. 

Mark,

Thank you so much for your reply. Look forward to whenever it does get integrated and totally get that it might be awhile. I have work arounds for now.

Unfortunately, the Syphon NDI apps don't do NDI HX. Currently the syphon apps only do regular NDI which works great for iPhones but not the new HX hardware that NewTek has put out.I might try to bug them and see if they will add. Sienna has added it to their NDI monitor at my request so who knows.  

In case anyone is interested, I have tested and am using both the NewTek spark and their NDI PTZ camera. Both work great. Currently running over 250 ft of ethernet cable. No issues. Worked pretty much right out of the box. Very low latency (at least for me). Helping me move beyond my various analog to digital convertors. And the PTZ camera is really great quality. Expensive but can imagine using it in performance a lot.
