Hello,

I am planning my output layout for an upcoming show.  How many 4k@60 outputs can be played back in Millumin safely on the new iMac Pros?  How many 1080@30 files can be played smoothly?

Within each 4k canvas I will be laying out 4 1080@30 Apple Prores 422 files. (I can transcode files to whatever needed)

I need to fill 11 1920x1080 screens and 1 2688x768 LED wall and am trying to put as many of these into 4k outputs for an E2 to split it up.

iMac Specs:

Imac pro 2019 18 core 256 ram radeon pro vega 64

Thanks!

Hello,

I have some sensors that, when triggered, send responses back over serial com ports.  I am currently using another media server (Touchdesigner) to receive these messages, parse them, and trigger a video.  I'm curious what the best approach would be for using millumin instead.

Thanks,

I’m new to Milumin and just need some help with a basic task: i am mapping an image onto a large building that has a slight angle on one side (the image goes around a slight corner and onto a different angle.) I’m trying to create two different mapping areas using the same continuous image. What is the best way to do this? I’m outputting from my MacBook Pro using Milumin V2 to a 37k laser projector. Image is of actual building.(not sure why they uploaded upside down) trying to get the mapping on the right side to be separate from left side of building.

Hi guys, 

I'd like your input on a new 3 screens setup (3x 720p or 3x1080p) I'm planning with a Mac Pro 2013 and its thunderbolt interfaces.

I'm thinking :

- 2 BM mini-recorders

- 1 passif adapters thunderbot DVI (first monitor)

- Hdmi output (second monitor)

- 3 actifs adapters thunderbot DVI (or hdmi) to the 3 video projectors

For initial rehearsals, I'd like to avoid spending money on a datapath fx4 or something similar.

I still have an old triplehead2go digital edition but I guess this is useless, or at best I think it may output to two 720p (not even sure).

Apple Dual links adapters are sold out, I saw theses cheap "actif" adapters to hdmi or DVI :

on amazon

So, I had a lot of troubles with outputs and Mac Pro in the past, do you think this setup could even work ? :D

Any help or feedback appreciated ;) 

Thanks

Hi, I'd like to link an audio input to the property of a layer. This is not the audio volume of a track or a video, but my computer microphone (to be precise i use the sound of an application which is running on my computer, using the vocal synt. of the MAC, and I want to use this sound to transform a layer). Any Idea ?

Thanks very much for your time and advice.

Is there a way to use multiple image inputs for a generative shader? I want to create a shader that uses three image inputs and an input from a camera or kinect to generate a dynamic image.

I have created the shader on interactiveshaderformat.com and it works there but when I try to import into Millumin, I don't know how to make the shader reference my images and kinect data.

Thanks!

Is there a solution to the very small auto-follow delay? (M3 - but is also present in M1+2)

I have a show where I want the audio to continue seamlessly from one column to the other although it is divided in two audio files.

Audio one has 'auto-follow' enabled. no transitions. Audio two in the next column. no transitions. (Qlab does this perfectly)

I have tried with wav files and videos with audio embedded. the result is always the same - a small break before the next audio. (we are speaking about 100-200ms enough to be noticeable )

I have even tried launching the audio from Qlab  via millumin+autofollow+osc on the same mac.It produces the the same latency.

However if I manually go to the next cue/column the delay isn't there.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Søren

I am following the Millumin OSC documentation on GitHub, and I am not getting the expected results for media speed control. I have already confirmed OSC control is working using the following method of access:

/LAYER_NAME/media/time [value]

When I fire that off, the media at the active column on the target layer indeed moves its playhead to the specified time. However, when I switch the reserved word "time" for "speed", I do not get a successful result:

/LAYER_NAME/media/speed [value]

I am currently running test using version 3.11.r. The documentation states that the specified speed value needs to be of 0-1 floating point range (eg. 0.5 = 50% speed). Just to make sure that was not a documentation error, I have tried both 0-1 and 0-100 ranges. All efforts to specify speed using the above method of access has resulted in no apparent effect within Millumin. If anyone has any thoughts and/or ideas, please let me know.

Hi.

I had file missing issue yesterday.

I placed about 15 movies and pictures in dashboard column directly each on different layer.

it worked normally for a time(about 5~6h), but suddenly a several files were not played.

I reload these files in Library,  Millumin indicates「x」.so I replaced files each.

It occurred in the rehearsal. I was really  scared if it occurs again in the performance.

Does anyone have a same issue? and Is there any work around?

Sorry for tiny English

Hello

I tried to make working dmx and MIDI on my macbook pro with a ENTECC and BCF2000.

But it's not working together.

If i disconnect the BCF, the DMX work, and if I disconnect the ENTECC DMX, the BCF work ....

I'm looking for an explication and perhaps a solution.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I am planning to upgrade my setup for a multi projector display in Millumin 2.

I am using a MacBook Pro 15" OSX 10.14.6 

I want to use an eGPU box with an AMD VEGA 56 card and then feed the 4K output from the external GPU into the  AJA HA5-4K converter to acheive 4 separate HD outputs from the AJA.

Am I right to think that Millumin will treat each of the 4 outputs of the AJA converter as separate projectors?

Can I then make a panoramic canvas in millumin and simply have a wide panorama of 4 projectors display the content?

Does anyone have any experience with this AJA converter?

Does the fact that the converter will be connected to the external GPU AND NOT DIRECTLY TO THE LAPTOP change the way Millumin will see it?

Kind Regards

Dariusz

MTC & Timeline inside the Dashboard ?

Hi,

this is what I'm struggling with : 

On the  dashboard, I have a layer with a movie synced via MTC (from Live). The movie is synced, no problem.

I have a second layer which is a timeline also supposed to be sync via MTC.

If I open the timeline it is synced, but if I stay on the dashboard the timeline doesn't sync. 

So I guess it can't work.

Any idea of a workaround to sync this timeline to the movie ? 

I have to mention that it is a rehearsals issue, I need to stay synced with the audio whenever its starts. 

I've also tried the other way around using Millumin cues and an OSC /live/play (which works great) but it seems there's no easy way to start Live at a specific hh:mm:ss

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hello

I want to edit the midi in the timeline. When the timeline is started, the midi sends and returns to millumin, which controls some of the functions on millumin. But millumin can't receive the midi signal sent by itself. Is there a way to solve it? Of course, by sending it to other software and then returning, but this is more troublesome

When can I use the official version?

HI IM TRYING TO EXPORT A 7680X1080  

and im using 4 layers devided into full resolution .. im programming in timeline some flicker effect in timeline like strobe effect using opasity automation from data track into iac midi and back into millumin, its done that way so i can use the same automation track to control a sub fader in luminosus to control EOS light software light intensity.

Is it the IAC thats causing the problem.. or is it just not possible to export using effects and automated filters/opasity etc.?

hope someone can clarify for me :-)

cheers jeppe

Hi everybody.

I must upgrade from v1 to v2 of Millu, because of Apple OS upgrade.

Actually, I can map the same button of control device midi to active one case of my all boards. I import a mapped project "gabarit" in the worked project and I can use the same button to control medias. I change board, map is kept. I have made that via Milluplug

Can I make same with v2 ? How ? Thx a lot !
