That would be easy to do with PIXILAB Blocks® (which is also based on web technology) https://pixilab.se/products
Full, integrated, control of WATCHOUT as well, of course.

He asked for a connection with an IPad.
Does Blocks support IPads (iOS) for controlling?
Couldn't find anything.
Yes, any iOS or Android mobile device can be addad as a "Display Spot" in Blocks.
Page 5 in the manual:
Spots
Locations of interest, such as displays, theaters, geographic locations or positions inside a building, are commonly referred to as spots. The spots are listed on the left hand side on the Display page, (see above) and can be arranged into groups and sub-groups as desired to simplify navigation and programming.
Spots also include mobile devices, which may be a permanent part of the system (such as an iPad used as an operator panel), or temporary (such as visitors’ mobile phones).

You do not have to look for custom development. There is a standard solution on the market which does exactly what you want to do: Controlling (and synchronising) playback between mobile devices and WATCHOUT. It is called PIXILAB Blocks®. For more information, please study the short manual: https://pixilab.se/outgoing/blocks/PIXILAB-Blocks.pdf
PS Search for "WATCHOUT" in the pdf document

StaffVerneir, don't waste your valuable time. Use a turn-key control system that works PIXILAB Blocks can control WATCHOUT in ways similar to WATCHNET, including built-in support for "Sleep" and "Wake-On-LAN".

Hi Shane! This sounds like the Chrome issue that effect certain touch-screens (interfaces) - but not all. The last version I know works for all is v60.0.3112.114. (Sep 2017)

Hi! We (PIXILAB) might have a solution for you. Can you shed som light on how the authentication works. Is it done with credentials (name and password) or with a certificate?

I know this is an old thread, but I know forum members are constantly searching the forum for advise and solutions and sometimes the hit is an "oldie".
So, regarding this topic, we had exactly the same problem, using exactly the same interface - the ELC Buddy. And it was indeed the ELC buddy which caused the issues described above. Swapping interface to a standard ENTTEC ODE solved the problem.

Dear Mr Miro
Thanks for your reply. also want to know AV.io family of capture devices are plug and play use for Watchpax.
V.S.Giri
Hi Giri!
Yes, the Epiphan AV.io family is plug and play with WATCHPAX, providing you have the latest firmware installed in your WATCHPAX (this is important - please check with Dataton regarding WATCHPAX firmware versions for USB Capture drivers). I have even used dual interfaces, on a single WATCHPAX4, on several projects.
All the best and good luck with your projects.
PS I think there was a small problem in one of the firmware-versions where you had to make a re-load (Stage menu/Manage Display Computer/Remote Access) of WATCHOUT in the WATCHPAX after boot up. Otherwise, it could not find the driver (Video In menu was greyed out). I have only experienced this on WATCHPAX2 though. Perhaps Dataton can shed some light if this issue is solved.

Hi Michel!
You can copy your complete show into a "composition" and apply a brightness/contrast tween track to this composition.

Hej Mathias!
Can it be the space (mellanslag) in your show name.

Hi Tim!
I agree. Dataton should update the available choices in the Live Video dialog box
But don't worry about the input list. Just choose "RGB" or whatever. And "Other" as Video Standard and enter and the desired resolution manually. Jim's response above re. the Vision SC-DP2 is as accurate as always. Nice card.

Hi Christian!
Sorry, there is no way to delete Stage Tiers. You can Rename them but not Delete them. Dataton is aware of this common "feature-request"
Btw, are you coming to MonitorEXPO in Copenhagen next week (Nov 2-3)? We will be showing off with Projection mapping, LED displays and the brand new WATCHPAX4

Nice job, Benoit. And good use of the "interaction name" feature.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tim!
Thanks for the good report. Just curious, did you test any camera (SDI or HDMI) to NDI converter boxes? like the Bird-Dog-Studio http://www.bird-dog.tv

Jim is correct but I do believe this has been fixed by Datapath. It was adressed at a Dataton-Datapath about two years ago. Not sure which driver/firmware version is required and what hardware it applies to though.
Dataton, please chime in...

WATCHOUT had a hard dependency on QT initially. But this was removed several years ago in anticipation of this event (Apple ends support). The only function that currently requires QT is the video/audio export functions. Even this is not really that urgent, as QT should continue to work just fine. The part you may want to disable is the web browser plug-in, which is the vector for most security issues.

Latency will not vary among DataPath cards.
True, as long as the Datapath card you're using supports "LiveStream" (capture technology) http://www.datapath.co.uk/datapath-technology/311-livestream-technology

Hi PedroR!
If you're on version 6, I suggest you try the HAP codec. The result can be pretty amazing, especially the playback performance.

More of a preventive advise (sorry): For a show that will move Production computers frequently, I would always keep an extra consolidation copy. A successfully consolidated WATCHOUT show will never fail on you.
