Regarding Watchout 5.5.2 Production on Windows 10, you can't start a Display computer's (Win 7) timeline using the WATCHOUT Production application on Windows 10. If you press spacebar/play on WATCHOUT Production on Windows 7, the timeline on the WATCHOUT Display (Win 7) starts. If you press spacebar/play on WATCHOUT Production on Windows 10, the timeline on the WATCHOUT Display (Win 7) does not start. The preview on the WATCHOUT Production does start though. Using telnet on Windows 10 to control WATCHOUT Display (Win 7) works properly.

First of all, I am using Watchout 5. As a follow-up, I got results which made me happy with H264, as long as I chose the options Fast Decode. To summarize, this is 4 computers, with 4 displays each. The resolution of video is 5120x3840. In order to save space, I tried to ask for the movie to be split such as there would be one video per computer. However, since the cut is not even horizontally nor vertically (each block limit crosses other block in the middle), and H264 worked good, we did not follow on this. Thanks, but I am on WO5 I'll note the suggestion though

Awesome to know, thanks!

Any webinar?

Hello again, I'm successfully running a 5k (5120x3840) video on a videowall (4 x 4 outputs via mini-DP to active DP to HDMI). The master is a ProRes video. I tried the following formats: WMV9- did not work, wouldn't even play. H264- behaved fine except when it reached the cue to jump to the beginning, the show would hang (however, I only tested the default settings). MPEG2- worked 'fine'. The thing is: only Handbrake is able to transcode/output at this resolution (Adobe and friends do not) for MPEG-2. I tried increasing the bitrate but it seemed it wasn't possible to increase the quality much more, and with higher bitrates the video would stutter a lot. I also tried ffmpeg but the quality seemed lower. So, I'm requesting tips to achieve a higher quality. Preferably, I would use H264 and activate every possible option which seemingly resembles 'fast decode'. But before trying that, I thought I'd ask for suggestions first. Thanks in Advance for your help!

Thank you all for your feedback That PDF in particular was very valuable!

Hello, I'm working on a videowall with 16 screens (4 computers x 4 screens). I'm having issues loading 5k videos. My theory after ~3h of debugging is related to the codec- using MOV's PhotoJPEG seems to crash the player, using MOV's PNG seems not to- but I haven't ruled out other issues. So I have one question: MOV's PhotoJPEG versus MOV's PNG, do you have any prior experience regarding they working or not? (possibly the full name is not these ones).

Just checking, is it -ShowsPath, as it is in the referred link, or -ShowPath, as it is referred in other topic somewhere on this forum?

Is there an updated link for that topic?
