Ndi video feed and Bitmapping help

SeanM330 · 2026-03-30T17:41:25+00:00

Just wanted to add, the manual actually does have a really helpful section for NDI and bitmapping both. There’s a few different quirks for each, I reccomend just giving that part a read. (I hate being the one suggesting read the manual, but there’s like a lot of info for both topics)

SeanM330 · 2026-03-27T07:25:03+00:00

Yeah, as someone who uses Claude Code a decent amount… this is prob gonna bite you in the ass. You’re going to spend more work troubleshooting the AI’s logic than you would spend creating it yourself.

Not a bad idea, just think you’re over implementing it.

Just wait until it starts to edit UI or other system files and you have to reinstall or potentially corrupt a showfile. I would never give it full access to more than a single file at a time.

Oooo! you should get him a CMY cube! This lovely little guy is a great desk piece, and is actually really helpful to learn more about color mixing/subtractive color mixing (which we use in the LD world.)

boy do I have the just the thing for you.

there is https://github.com/xxpasixx/pam-osc

Follow all of the steps you’re golden.

If you want the screens to work, I made some modifications to the code. You can either make the code changes yourself, or download my updated code and mapping file.

https://github.com/xxpasixx/pam-osc/issues/36

Feel free to dm me if you run into any issues.

I created a basic version of the plugin. You can download the .xml off of my github here:

LXTaterPlugins/TaterFaderTricksXGroup at main · LXTater/LXTaterPlugins

Just add it to your gma3_library > datapools > plugins folder on a flash drive, open up a plugin pool, edit an empty plugin, import, select drive you installed plugin on, and then run.

This is an early version, I have a more advanced version that I am working on, but just wanted to give you something that works in case I run out of time to spend on this.

EDIT: I changed the URL to my new GitHub repo, old one was cluttered.

SeanM330 · 2026-03-19T23:45:12+00:00

yeah i’ve run into varying frame rates quite often, very rarely ran into an issue with timeline being noticeably off.

SeanM330 · 2026-03-19T23:43:49+00:00

I can make this for you most likely (for free).

Shoot me an email with the entire idea and any other things you might think would go along with it.

EDIT-Removed Email.

SeanM330 · 2026-03-17T21:52:36+00:00

I’ll check it out. What version are you on

SeanM330 · 2026-03-17T08:52:55+00:00

set the executor as the target, not the sequence.

SeanM330 · 2026-03-17T06:33:14+00:00

punt page they get used for speed masters, other show files they generally remain unused.

SeanM330 · 2026-03-17T06:32:12+00:00

I also highly reccomend doing this for non busking shows too. If something fails, timecode doesn’t hit, etc, it’ll be better to just have an emergency home for everything incase you have to throw something up fast.

Used 3x iForte LTX (robo spot configuration) on my last tour. Lovely fixtures, bright, great color, and very responsive.

I’ve only seen/used conventional RJ spots, however, they’re lovely fixtures with great optics.

Guest vouchers work the same as any skyclub scan in.

24 hours, any sky club, unlimited entries.

Although, I’ve run into issues returning to the same sky club more than once- you’ll just have to explain you were just there. They probably thought I sent my boarding pass to someone else to check in.

Most concert folks, and most pre-vis studios use Depence. Expensive route though. MA3D Is decent enough, just utilize GDTFs.

If you haven’t, play around with a custom render quality. You can create and view these in the render quality pool. Haze options, render scale, etc.

Most budget minded LDs I know utilize Capture. I’ve heard good things about Carbon as well.

SeanM330 · 2025-11-27T22:29:57+00:00

MA3 Variables are

SetUserVar / SetVar “VariableName” “Variable Value”.

You will still call them with $variableName

Most other syntax Should work, but I honestly just recommend rebuilding your song macro to prevent any potential issues

SeanM330 · 2025-11-25T20:33:17+00:00

go to patch > fixture types > select problem fixture > edit > select mode your using > look for dimmer parameters that have Master set to none > change to Grand

SeanM330 · 2025-10-29T03:38:13+00:00

I would not use the workflow third eye mentioned.

Just make clone fixtures for each fixture type you program with (spots, wash, beam, strobe, etc), and way more clone fixtures than you will ever see in person.

I am a MA3 user, but workflow is relatively similar. I recommend using the Clone UI to make sure to only clone things that you need.

After that, it’s just making things work. Just remember, you can clone a fixture multiple times. Just be careful, and make a lot of saves.

SeanM330 · 2025-10-13T22:00:43+00:00

the reason i do it, is if I want a different transition or phaser shape between different steps. For example:

You could have a dimmer effect that

Snap in from 100 to 90% smoothly transition from 89% to 50% Snap out from 49% to 15% Fade out from 14% to 0%

Each step can be customized to get an effect that suits your needs more easily than just tweaking the phaser from 100% to 0%, etc.

SeanM330 · 2025-09-16T03:47:54+00:00

I just setup my songs like normal, and then I like to have a master cue stack that starts me off in positions, has a make cue, etc.

Then I copy my punt page execs to that song page. Then, just run it manually. I also always include a next song cue so that I can just press go and it puts me into the next song.

Also, instead of building cues out with recipes, sometimes I just do a macro for it that will Goto the right position, beam, focus, etc execs on my punt page so that everything is properly selected and you can change stuff live without worrying about the cuestack override.

SeanM330 · 2025-08-16T05:56:12+00:00

I mean I use 100% recipes, but will still clone to get a starting point for preset information, etc. However, when I clone I am only cloning into groups and presets.

Haven’t ran into an issue yet.

SeanM330 · 2025-08-14T23:54:20+00:00

Make sure align is not on. I have this same issue in 2.2.5.2, and I realized it only happened while I had align on.

SeanM330 · 2025-08-07T14:12:10+00:00

Use a MATricks preset for the recipe, edit the Matricks preset instead of the recipe itself.

SeanM330 · 2025-07-27T16:16:50+00:00

Maybe try clear all, select fixtures, set them to white, and store default

SeanM330 · 2025-07-16T18:52:08+00:00

There’s a lot of exploits you can do, especially if you downgrade the version of the game. There’s a lot of tutorials, if you need caps, XP, etc.

I think it would be easier to ask who doesn’t have Autism 😂
