The preset system is broken at the moment, I couldn’t figure out how to fix it in the time available,
but will do so a.s.a.p. There is still stuff to learn in the rest…

Nice tool to generate AI Depthmaps on the fly. Unfortunately I didn’t get it to run at my end in the time available, but if working it can be very useful I think…

Homework:

Further refine the prototype component for every section of your show that you are planning to complete. Prepare them specifically for one of the scenarios descibed below:

– Full scale visuals via NDI
– Regular scale visuals via NDI and extenstion through FFV TD system
– Full scale visuals on the FFV TD System (TD version 2022.32660)

Please position yourself within an overall sequence for the evening, thinking about which of your scenes makes sense for which section of the evening. This is something we have to decide within the next session.
