Yes you can host the Asset Manager on any node on the network if it runs the Watchout Manager. Just right click on the node in the device windows and click "Use Asset Manager". For a user, it does'nt change much, you still use the producer and add media the same way. The only downside is it will require a bit more time as the producer needs to send new files on the asset manager via the network...

Hi Mickey, As long as you don't need to genlock with other stuff, it works fine. If you have a big LED wall, with let say 4 outputs to 4 Novastars, you need to genlock the controllers with the GPU so you need a Quadro Sync II... Best, Benoit

I guess it should work, I don't see why not. Some app like VLC can play SRT and can output directly in NDI. The main problem I think is how to sync Watchout ant the other app... Benoit

Hi Besossenorita, I think you need to render webpage with various charts, voting systems, tweets... Did you have a look to OBS with NDI plugin or vMix? Both tools can render browsers to NDI but with some tweaks and controls compared to a simple desktop stream. Also you can setup NDI with alpha, can be usefull to add nice transparency to embedded into Watchout. Benoit

Hi Daniel, Can you have a lookat the WIndows event viewer after failure, does it show any error message? Are you using a ryzen CPU or an AMD GPU?

How do you finish your command? \n, \r\n... I noticed it doesn't work well if you uses \r\n, \n works fine. Should be solved with 7.3...

Hello, UDP never respond, it's a one way communication. If you expect a reply you must use TCP. Good luck.

Hello, This might help :

Hello, This make sense to me as your settings are set to transcode ProRes files as Notch LC in v7 and the v6 play the file as it is. My experience is the Notch LC transcoding is not great. If you set to Lossless, do you see any downgrade? BTW, after changing the optimizer settings you need to add the file again so it's transcoded to the new codec settings. Best, Benoit

Hi Tom, You can get the cue id in the show JSON : http://localhost:3019/v0/show BTW it could be nice to allow both id and names in the control protocol. Because even if you retreive the show JSON as you can't be notified when an object is created you can't allwas match names and id... Benoit

Hi Magda, Would it be possible that the bouton is visible only on system that are compatible with this option? Best, Benoit

Hi Mikael, Maybe a quick tutorial on what you have to install to use Deltacast card should be nice as it's not really plug and play to what I have seen... Best, Benoit

Thanks Rainer, Seems to be the same here, good to know and thanks for your help! Best, Benoit

Hello all, Did someone already experience some instability using different version of Watchout on the same logical IP network? I have two separate Watchout shows addressing different servers, one in v5.5.2 and one in v6.7.2 and the 6.7.2 show don’t correctly load every morning. Many thanks for your help. Benoit

Hi, I think the easiest would be to create the displays of the big room in one area of the Watchout stage with traditional soft edge. On 2 others area of the stage, you can create the displays for the 2 smaller venues: 3 big virtual displays for the duplicated parts and the additional projectors. The VD displaying on the real display in the full room stage area. I think what you want to achieve is most of the wall use default soft edge you had set for the full room, only a small part displaying on top of the edge blend. To do this you could use 2 timelines, one to display always on top, the other to display above the soft edge and crop your virtual display media to define the limit where you want soft edge of not… I know it’s not very clear but feel free to call me if you want to discuss about it. Best, Benoit
