  21. WATCHOUT 6.4.1 released

    in WATCHOUT FORUM

    Posted

    Hi Everyone, 

    WATCHOUT version 6.4.1 is now available for download!

    https://www.dataton.com/downloads/watchout

    Dataton WATCHOUT User's Guide  (updated with keyboard shortcuts)

    Release notes:

    Dataton WATCHOUT® version 6.4.1
    This version mainly contains fixes.

    • Triggering a task in the display software, by setting an input variable, now works correctly.
    • The remote upgrade now works on Dataton media servers that have a fixed IP address set in the startup script.
    • Sending a "setInput" command to the display software, while it has no show running, will no longer cause a crash.
    • Fixed multiple bugs related to multi-editing of displays.
    • Fixed multiple bugs in the text editing dialog.
    • Some changes could be done in the Task Window, without the user being prompted to save the show afterwards. This has been resolved.
    • Fixed multiple bugs concerning playback of presplit images, which could result in a crash in the display software.
    • Resolved an issue where the timecode format wasn’t changed to the selected value.
    • The production software could crash if the selected timecode device was disconnected and timecode control was disabled. This has now been fixed.
    • Fixed a crash bug that could occur when editing display masks.
    • "Check Diagonal" in audio output channel assignment now works.
    • Resolved a crash bug that could occur when a 3D model cue was copied and pasted.
    • Fixed a potential crash bug that could occur when going online on a slow or busy network.
    • The maximum number of decoding threads for H.264/AVC video has been limited to 8 to avoid running out of memory on servers with a high CPU core count.

    Happy Tuesday!

    Regards, 

    Jacquie

    Posted

    Our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Thomas Leong from Kuala Lumpur who passed away recently. If you are a regular visitor to the forum you will no doubt recognise Thomas’ name as one of the most prolific and knowledgeable contributors here.

    Thank you, Thomas, for all the helpful comments, the friendly advice and sheer enthusiasm that you shared freely with us over the years. You’ll be sorely missed.

  24. WATCHOUT 6.4 released

    in WATCHOUT FORUM

    Posted

    Hi Everyone, 

    We're pleased to announce that WATCHOUT version 6.4 is now available for download!
    A big thank-you to all beta testers for their invaluable feedback. 

    https://www.dataton.com/downloads/watchout

    Dataton WATCHOUT User's Guide 6.4 (pdf)

    Release notes:

    Dataton WATCHOUT® version 6.4
    This version contains some new features, such as MPCDI file import and task folders, and fixes some issues.

    Multiple Projection Common Data Interchange (MPCDI) file import
    You can now import display and projector calibration data from MPCDI files. Please consult the user’s guide for more information.

    Task folders
    Auxiliary timelines can now be grouped and organized into folders in the task window. The order of timelines, folders, and timelines in folders, all affect the stacking order when rendered.

    Dragging and dropping tasks to change their order, and place them in folders, has been reworked to be more intuitive.

    Custom cue colors
    You can now set custom colors on cues, either on different types of cues through the Preferences dialog, or on individual cues in their corresponding dialog.

    More new features

    • Manual pre-roll can now be applied on all kinds of media cues, not just video and audio.
    • You can open a capture card control panel on Dataton media servers, where applicable.
    • The task window can now be locked, to prevent any unwanted changes in stacking order, trigger conditions etc.

    Improvements

    • Cues are always rendered and pre-rolled, regardless of opacity, resulting in smoother playback in cues that are faded in.
    • HAP video can utilize more than 16 logical CPU cores if encoded with more than 16 chunks. This can increase HAP video performance on high-end media servers.
    • Improved overall performance on Windows 10 media servers to resolve some instances of choppy playback.
    • The process of entering or exiting fullscreen mode has been improved.
    • Enhanced NDI performance and stability (update to NDI 3.8)

    Fixes

    • An issue with preloading from version 6.3 has been fixed. This could cause glitches and/or poor performance of any media playback, when jumping on the timeline or using play/pause cues.
    • The production software will no longer hang if you delete a virtual display device while its corresponding media is being used in a media cue.
    • Replacing any media cue by a DMX media no longer causes the production software to crash.
    • The display software could turn black when connecting/disconnecting a display, if there was no show running. This has been fixed.
    • In Windows 10, the show’s refresh rate was not set correctly on certain displays/projectors. This has been resolved.
    • When calibrating a 3D projector while there were multiple 3D objects on different stage tiers, WATCHOUT placed the calibration points on all those objects, not just those on the same tier as the projector. This has been fixed.
    • Timecode now works with non 44.1 kHz devices.
