  1. Seems I've hit a dead end, Watchout doesn't see the AJA IO 4K as an input at all. I know the device is working on my system as I can see it within vMix and have 2 simultaneous 1080p captures. I guess it's a driver issue?
  2. Hi All I have an event overseas which I would like to run Watchout on, using a high-spec 'gamer' laptop as my Display PC, I am looking at purchasing an AJA IO 4K to provide me with 2 or 3 HD-SDI inputs via a Thunderbolt 2/USB-C connection. Has anyone tried this? Does the AJA IO work with Watchout or am I setting myself up to fail? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance Rich
  3. Hi Thomas Thanks for your advice! You are right, the W7100 came with a couple of adapters and they work. I have 10x StarTech adapters and not one of them works which leads me to believe its got to be a software/config problem and not a defective adapter (how likely is it that all 10 are faulty?!) I will try your suggestions with regards to port swapping and EDID emulations before I go to drastic measures of re-installing Windows! Thanks again... Richard
  4. Hi Walter Oops, yes display details would have been useful! I'm trying it with a Samsung S24B300 monitor. Being an LED screen company, I have also tried plugging it into a Calibre LEDView 530 which is usually a very forgiving LED scaler but that doesn't detect an input either. I tried using the EDID emulation in the AMD Control Panel which didn't seem to make a difference, I don't have any hardware EDID managers as of yet. I don't know if the cheap adapters that worked are active or passive, could that have anything to do with it? Thanks Rich
  5. Hi guys I realise this isn't really a Watchout problem but I wondered if any of you have encountered this before? I have a new Watchout system with a couple of PCs with AMD FirePro W7100s, having read the info on this forum and elsewhere, I thought it was best to purchase the StarTech DP2DVIS adapters (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DP2DVIS-DisplayPort-Active-Adapter/dp/B004SUO1GMas) listed in the AMD Recommended Adapters list (http://support.amd.com/en-us/recommended/eyefinity-adapters). Being based in Dubai, all of the above was very difficult to source but now I have everything, only to find that when I connect the output from the W7100 into a DVI monitor via the StarTech adapter, I get no signal and the monitor goes to sleep. The strange thing is that if I reboot the PC, the monitor comes back on and displays the BIOS and Windows loading screen, presumably because its low-res and its before any graphics driver has kicked in and told it to do something else. This has lead me to believe that it could be a setting somewhere that I am missing...unless anyone here can tell me different?! Also, I have tried all of the above using an unbranded cheap and nasty DP to DVI adapter purchased from a local supplier and much to my surprise, that one worked fine! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
