User Page for derformer and the Derformer project.

Derformer (the word) is a variation on the word performer.

derformer (the user) is based in Wollongong, Australia and took up VVVV a few months ago.

Derformer (the project) will eventually be a freeware application running in/under VVVV that allows lighting designers in theatre to get the most out of digital projectors while still having a reliable show/cue system.

More details coming!

For now:

Shutter (Devices Pansonic PT-D Projectors).v4p (14.34 Kb)

Is my first public patch! Used to control the shutter (total blackout) function on Panasonic PT-D series projectors via RS232. Any
feedback on layout, naming conventions etc, is welcome.

Product page here

RS232 Specs here

Used for 8 performances in the Bruce Gordon Theatre,
Wollongong, Australia with a pair of Panasonic PT-D4000s.

Shutter is fairly fast so if you are fading to black you only want
to trigger it in the last few % of your fade.

It would be fairly easy to modify this patch to control any binary function listed in the .pdf above.
Controlling focus or zoom though is harder, as its a 'hold to change' input not an absolute value. My next challenge..
