[H264 in 3840x1080 and WatchPax2]

But this is only half of a 4K playout?

 

would it be better to enocode a full 4K and distribute over the two outputs?

 

what would be recommended encoding settings for 4K H264?

[H264 in 3840x1080 and WatchPax2]

We have a problem with playback of video with a resolution of 3840x1080 or 4096x1080 on a Watchpax2 going to two side by side 2K projectors.

 

MP4 is encoded using Adobe Media Encoder with High 5.1 profile in 25mbit/s. If going scaling down in resolution(2500x720) and bitrate(5mbit/s) it plays back fine..

 

Any ideas on how to avoid scaling down?

[Watchpax2 5.5.1 error with Remote]

Hi

 

We have a setup with a Windows 8.1 PC running Watchout/Watchout Remote and a Watchpax2 connected to 2K projectors.

 

When running a simple looping show using  Watchout Remote it sometimes stops with a unspecified Network error. Is this the watchout application on the Watchpax2 that crashes the playout or a Network error?

[2K 50Hz output on watchpax II - video playback only a still picture]

We have a setup with a watchpax II outputting 2 times 2K(2048x1080 at 50Hz).

 

This is feed into two projectors.

 

When playing a timeline with 2 videos we only get a starting Picture (Stage Windows on production PC plays back fine)

 

and then another frame if doing an stage -  update or stage - rebuild show cache.

 

I should mention the system is currently on a 100mbit switch - is gigabit needed?

 

Please advice?
