Hey all,
I'm currently speccing up an watchout server. A little background; we're an corporate events company who provide multiscreen and projection mapped sets. We currently do this in house primarily through two edge blended projectors. We've been hiring in media severs more and more such as watchout and eventuz.
So onto my real question; is there much advantage to a more weighty graphics card in watchout? From reading the forums it certainly seems that much of the processing is done on CPU rather than GPU and faster media (pci based) with lightly compressed video files is the answer.
We certainly won't be outputting to 4k any time soon due to our projection stock.
I've currently specced a 7100 as per the recommendation by dataton. I do not believe we will need more than four outputs, if we did I'd certainly look at the w9100. However at 4x the price is it worth it over the 7100?
In the same vain is there any advance to an 8100 over the 7100? This only comes in at a third more than the 7100 here in the UK.
Certainly with the introduction of HAP it seems like an increased GPU spec would be useful. I understand this is relatively new teritory in Watchout.
Thanks in advance for your help.
