  1. Hey Guys, i would like to ask some questions regarding this project i might have on November. We need to cover and do a dome projection. The dome has a diameter of 26m and center height of 12m. 

    I would like to ask for your help regarding how am I going to fix the geometry of the projections? We are using Watchout 5.5.1. Maybe i will be using 10 projectors to cover the facade. Hoping for your help guys. Thanks

  2. Hi,

     

    I encountered this problem in Watchout 4.5.1 last week when had a show in Taif, Saudi Arabia. The problem was everytime I'm gonna start my Watchout Production and making it ONLINE, it always re-uploading all the contents to all watchout display computers (total of 20 watchout display computers). This happens everyday once i boot up my production and make it ONLINE. All the contents are in a video proxy. Is this normal? Because it took me like more than 20minutes to upload all the contents. Each content has a size of 250MB.

     

    I also experienced that during the show, that production just suddenly freezes. What might be the cause of the problem?

     

    Thank you very much..

  3. I have this problem with my Watchout display computers for a long time (Watchout 4.5.1 version). How can i make the watchpoint to start automatically once my computer finish booting up? I tried to reinstall the program, but it's giving me the same problem. Hope you guys can help me fix this problem. Thank you very much!

  4. Good day.

     

    I am in the middle of preparation for September 7 event. I already set up 4 Projectors for the screen. While having a test run, one of the watchout display suddenly minimizes and show windows desktop. I don't know what is wrong, everything is working perfectly and then suddenly it just minimizes the watchout application. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much...

  5. Joel,

     

    your topic name is "Composite Live Video Problem in Watchout 4.5.1", composite (and component) is analog video signals.

     

    If it's a SD (Standard Definition, PAL/NTSC) signal, delivered as SDI, PAL or NTSC settings in WATCHOUT,

    are the ones to use, not HD settings.

     

    Converting a composite SD signal into a digital SD signal (SDI) will always depend on the quality of the

    source signal and the converter used. Picture quality will not improve this way and delay will increase,

    but it might solve the problem on site.

     

    Blackmagic SDI card supports SD video, from BMD website:

     

    SD Format Support

     

    625/25 PAL, 525/29.97 NTSC and 525/23.98 NTSC.

    I always have this problem when working on projections with Live Video Camera input. I usually add some entrance and exit effects for the Live Video (like opacity, position, etc) to add some drama on my projections. I usually set its duration time to 5 seconds. The entrance is from 0 to 2 seconds (opacity and position effects are added on the timeline) then i will pause it on the 3rd second. Then the exit will be from 4 to 5 seconds (opacity and position effects are also added on that timeline)

    The problem here is that, most of the time that I play the live video, it doesn't perform the opacity and position effects for the first 2 seconds. It will just appear on the screen out of nowhere. But it never fails to perform all the effects when it's exiting.

     

    What might be the cost of the problem? The signal is SDI and I am using BLACK MAGIC SDI Capture Card (which is connected to watchout display)

     

    I believe that my computer unit has a good specification to handle watchout 4.5.1. I am using Corei5-2400 @ 3.10Ghz, RAM of 3GB, AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series 2GB for graphics card, and 500GB HDD.

    Does anyone know what might be the cost of the problem? Is there any optimum settings that i can use to prevent this problem?

    Thank you very much!

  7. Hello, I need some help regarding on adding a Live Video using composite signal. We had an event last week in Riyadh and it was the first time I encountered this type of problem. The Camera guy gave me an output (Live video) in Composite signal, when I put it on the watchout, it didn't work. I already tried all the video standards from the settings, but still no live camera output coming from the watchout.

    So the camera guy decided to use a converter (composite to SDI) just to give us an output. Well, it worked, but the quality is not good, the only video standards that are working are the PALs. (I used to set the video standard to 1080i 25 or 1080p 25 for SDI signal, but it didn't work during that time)

    Does the Watchout 4.5.1 having a problem when accepting a composite signal? Can you give me some tips or advise on how to fix and prevent this for happening again? thank you very much in advance
