Isadora 2.6.1: Features, Fixes, and System Requirements

Bonemap, I tried to open your file Geometry_Groups.izz using Isadora 2.6.1 on a Mac and I get the message that it cannot be opened because it was created with a newer version of Isadora. Which versions should I be using?

Isadora 2.6.1

Download

Removing applications on Mac is pretty straightforward for experienced users yet may be unfamiliar to newbies. This page is about how to properly and thoroughly uninstall Isadora 2.6.1 from Mac. If you have no clue how to do it right, or have difficulty in getting rid of Isadora 2.6.1, the removal solutions provided in the post could be helpful.

The /Library is at the top level of your hard drive, while /Library is inside your Home Folder. Removing related items from both these locations is necessary to completely uninstall Isadora 2.6.1. Junk files could be found in the following directories:

Manually hunting down app remnants in the system directories requires certain time and adequate knowledge. Mac beginners are suggested to run a reputable uninstaller (e.g. Osx Uninstaller) to get the job done. If you insist on deleting Isadora 2.6.1 leftovers by yourself, be very cautious and avoid mistakenly deleting other app or system files.

If you still cannot be able to uninstall Isadora 2.6.1 for Mac, there is an much more easier alternative you can try to get rid of any unwanted app. As a lightweight yet powerful utility, Osx Uninstaller will guarantee you a clean, complete uninstallation result.

Isadora 3 will offer integration of BlackMagic devices within its stage setup. In Isadora 2.6.1 this is not yet possible. Since Isadora gives you output access to all system displays, its possible a 3rd party utility may allow configuring the Blackmagic device to be seen as a standard system display, and therefore be accessible within Isadora 2.6.1Unfortunately I am not aware of any such tool.

Theatre I am working at now has a setup whereby they use BlackMagic DeckLink Quad SDI card (in Sonnet Excho Express SE I box) to output video from a computer to projectors through SDI on iMac Pro. They have it working in Resolume Arena. Resolume Arena sees it as Decklink Quad 1, Decklink Quad 2... outputs. How would I go about setting this up in Isadora? Currently Isadora ignores the presence of the BlackMagic Decklink Quad SDI card in the Preferences->Stages window.\n\nThanks.","pid":32580,"tid":5560,"timestamp":1540219611471,"uid":256,"edited":1540220002289,"editor":"uid":256,"username":"eight","userslug":"eight","displayname":"eight","replies":"hasMore":false,"users":["uid":124,"username":"DusX","userslug":"dusx","picture":"/uploads/profile/124-profileimg.png","fullname":"","displayname":"DusX","icon:text":"D","icon:bgColor":"#e65100"],"text":"[[topic:one_reply_to_this_post]]","count":1,"timestampISO":"2018-10-22T15:48:50.212Z","deleted":0,"upvotes":0,"downvotes":0,"deleterUid":0,"bookmarks":0,"votes":0,"timestampISO":"2018-10-22T14:46:51.471Z","editedISO":"2018-10-22T14:53:22.289Z","index":0,"user": Synthesis: \nTwitter: _io ,"bookmarked":false,"upvoted":false,"downvoted":false,"selfPost":false,"topicOwnerPost":true,"display_edit_tools":false,"display_delete_tools":false,"display_moderator_tools":false,"display_move_tools":false,"display_post_menu":0},"content":"@eightIsadora 3 will offer integration of BlackMagic devices within its stage setup.

Where do I specify the syphon input for the output to DeckLink port in Black Sypnon's Output section?\nAlso, in Isadora, in Syphon Stage Output Actor, i am supposed to select a stage number. I have two projectors to feed, so I guess in the same Scene I am supposed to have Projector Actors set for Stage 1 and Stage 2. However, since Isadora in its Stage setup does not recognize the DeckLink ports, there are no Stage 1 and Stage 2 (beside the Main monitor).
