I greatly appreciate Maxers' advice and help in building patches. This is one of the reasons why Max/MSP is my first choice when it comes to designing an interface for my needs.

I would like to design a patch for playing 10-channel HD videos in sync. Additionally, I would appreciate your suggestions on the hardware requirements for this setup.

I am creating this patch for someone who prefers to control and manage it remotely, without requiring extensive knowledge of digital equipment. Therefore, an ideal solution for my needs would be a Max patch with a graphical user interface (GUI) that automatically loads on computer startup and plays videos synchronously. Each of the 10 HD video files will be projected using a separate projector.

I am considering using one computer to handle all 10 video channels. My question is whether this would be too demanding for a recent version of a Mac computer (e.g., Mac Studio), or if it would be better to use two wired Mac computers, with each handling 5 video channels.

What is the most efficient way to build a patch like this, and what are the hardware requirements for a 10-channel video extender, splitter, and distributor?

Please let me know if you have any further questions or need additional information.

I'm new to Max and i'm doing a project that needs to import different random images from a folder to jit.matrix. 

I know that i can use "importmovie" but i can't make it work like the way I want it. 

There's any way that I can import randomly and specifically from a folder, in an automatic way?

I know that

load a folder of images into a umenu using the prefix attribute (make sure "autopopulate" is enabled), route for "populate" out the dump out, send that to an random/urn/urn-jb object as the range, bang that object and send the output to the umenu, send the output of the umenu as the arg to the importmovie message:


Oh my god, thank you. 
Really, thank you. You don't imagine the hours that i spent trying to make this work and it was so simple.

I want to attach two screens and make one screen movable (vertically or horizontally), but I'm not sure how to approach this. jit.glue doesn't seem to be the right object for this as it can't arrange two screens like layers. 

What I'm trying to do is, for example, there's a 500x500px video1 and a 500x100px video2. I want to display video2 on top of video1 and make it move in an up-down direction. How can I do this? Thank you.

So for some reason my video's won't show as a preview in jit.playlist, but the built-in do. I tried to find a solution but couldn't work it out. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I want to create a video playlist using vz.playr and vz.moviefoldr instead of jit.plalist... 

I want to put 10 videos in vz.moviefoldr and loop them in order from 1 to 10, but I do not know how. I looked at the help patch, but the only way I could find was to use vz.twistr to select the videos.

With jit.plalist, it's hard to use because of the mac vtdecoderxpcservice.

I've looked at the jit.histogram help file, and I understand that each cell index in a 1D jit.histogram matrix is equivalent to each possible R, G, or B value—a value in the 3rd cell (index of 2) of a jit.histogram matrix plane indicates that pixels in that plane are set to 2. Can someone explain what that value actually means though? I would've expected that it referred to the number of pixels in the incoming matrix that are set to that value but after messing around with the help file, that doesn't seem to be the case (unless I'm missing something).

So I looked at some old examples I had, did some editing of my own and I have this resulting patch. It uses the [jit.xfade] object to fade between two gridshapes in a [jit.world]. However, when you adjust the color of either shape it will not update until you set the shape again (hopefully that makes sense). 

I have the gridshape objects set on Matrix Output2 so I so see some changes (like scale and dimensions); but I do not understand why the color would not be changing as well.

 randomly. I want the random argument to update automatically whenever a new video is added or removed, without manually adjusting it. How can I find out how many items are in the playlist?

Is there a way to find out how many items are in a playlist?

I made an environment with jit.phys + jit.gl.gridshape. I want to project it on a fulldome screen so that the viewer has a panoramic perspective (360 on horizontal axis, but only 180 on vertical since it's a dome, not a full sphere).

Seems like neither jit.gl.render nor jit.gl.camera can handle an angle bigger than 180. How do I get a full 360 panorama? Do I just stitch together a few different angles (e.g., 3 x 120 or 4 x 90)? Or is there a way to get a full wraparound angle without doing that?
