Chester,
This should normally not be an issue
How is MIDI connected exactly?
Through which device?
Production or Display?
Where are you situated?

This is what I recommend, if having installation issues:
Please perform a clean un-install/re-install on the computers:
Clean UN-install & RE-install of WATCHOUT
Start with the Production computer:
1) Disconnect the CodeMeter or WIBU-key dongle.
2) Uninstall WATCHOUT and CodeMeter and/or WIBU-key software.
3) Restart.
4) Remove any eventual remaining WATCHOUT and CodeMeter and/or WIBU-key parts on the computer
(In some, rare, cases, this even requires cleaning the registry, running "regedit" from Run...)
5) Install the new WATCHOUT again, fresh.
6) Restart.
7) Connect the key again and let it install.
8) Do the same process on your Display computer/s
9) Launch your show and go online.
QuickTime should be the latest, 7.7.5 or later.

Please try R9 series instead.

And your source is?
Which driver version?
Setting chosen in Display software? (Not WDM)
Checked in Blackmagic Media Express first?

Isn't this an AMD question?
WATCHOUT can be set up for 2K.

@TomT,
"when using a MST-Hub no need of active adapters, because the MST is active itself.
Tested. But maybe active Adapters are better i didn´t tested it."
We tested this too, and it seems that we could not get full SL DVI resolution with passive adapters, which should be supported"
3 times 1024x768 was OK, but 3 times 1920x1080 where not.
Tested with R9 270X graphics cards of two types and Club3D/EVGA MST-hubs.

This might account for some of the stability issues some of you experienced.
Found this note on Accell's website on their MST-hub: http://www.accellcables.com/products/ultraav-displayport-1-2-mst-multi-display-hub
• Testing has found a lack of compatibility with some systems when converting using DVI or HDMI adapters.
Recommended for use with DisplayPort monitors
Seems like they are not totally confident in that it will work stable with DP adapters to "legacy" graphics outputs.
So testing is important, you mileage may vary here.

No, you can not get 18 outputs from one graphic card with 6 MST hubs.
Both AMD Eyefinity and WATCHOUT gives you a maximum 6 outputs in total, from one card.

As long as it's OK that each of those 1 to 3 outputs are treated as one, wide output in WATCHOUT,
ie no separate positioning, geometry or color correction etc and the PC hardware at hand,
can support the playback demand, sure, why not.
Not tested, though.

If you need 9 outputs in total, two DisplayPC:s is required, each with up to 6 output possible.

"For watchout all the 3 output from MST are treated as 1, so no edge blending, no geometry, no color correction.
There's probably more, but I can't see it now."
Sorry Alex, that is not correct info.
At DisplayPort 1.2 and a MST hub, all outputs works as separate outputs.
This is tried and tested.

And use ACTIVE DisplayPort adapters on the MST-hubs output side, it seems.
Accell, Club3D and EVGA is some brands, they look pretty similar to me.

Agree with TomT here, some comments below.
"Radeon R9 280X - 3GB GDDR5 - PCI Express 3.0 x16 - 2 x DVI, 4 x DisplayPort"
Most likely out of production now, too.
"Or any AMD with two mini-Displayport and two MST Hubs"
I would like to add that they still need to be reasonable powerful (ie R9 series) and preferably have 2-3GB of graphics RAM.

"that media is linked with an absolute path (z:/network/folder/media/images/etc), while adding media through the menu links it with a relative path (media/images/etc)"
Is this really a drag and drop issue?
I don't think so, when having a Show-folder with:
1 - the showfile in question
2 - a Media folder where one put/copy ALL intended media for the Show, before dragging them into the Show or project.
To me this is standard procedure, meaning relative links to all media content.
Any content added into the Show, from OUTSIDE the Show-folder, without copying them into that folder first,
will inevitably have an absolute path to the media, dragged in or imported.
Only way to get rid of that is of course to consolidate the Show in question to a new folder.
Or did I miss something here?

Yes, of course.

But, as Jim stated above:
They, too, will not work, as those BMD Decklink cards / outputs do not support Microsft DirectX 3D accelerationon the output side, which is an absolute requirement for WATCHOUT./jonas0 -
Matrix MIO 2 as capture cards?
No, we have not.

Or cheaper, Blackmagic DVI Extender

Dear Madhur,
From: http://forum.dataton.com/topic/93-wo5-multi-output/
WATCHOUT 5 - Multi output
All outputs MUST come from one card.
WATCHOUT 5 Multi output ONLY works with one graphics card.
That one graphics card may have up to six (6) outputs, provided the graphics card vendor
includes driver support for multiple outputs under DirectX/Direct3D mode.This should be in extended desktop mode, do NOT involve any Eyefinity group setup.
All outputs also MUST be the same resolution AND refresh rate.
This is not so much a limitation of WATCHOUT 5, this is inherent to the graphic card setup.
Also related to keeping the sync between the different outputs./jonas

Kasper,
WATCHNET controls the Display PC:s or cluster/s, any changes to your show is done through Production software.
After talking Production software offline, then just re-load the show from WATCHNET.

Missing key?
No, I don' t think so.
Normal way is:
- save a copy or consolidate the Show in WO4.
- open that Show (with content) in WO5.
- let it cache everything
- make sure that Preview is set to Best Quality.
Export to a movie or going Online of course requires the WO5 key.
/jonas0 -
What has been changed recently on the system in question?
Updates etc?
Windows Media Center Features turned off?
I highly doubt that WATCHOUT just suddenly seize to function, without a good reason.
Especially if it been working for 3 years.

Yes.
And Android 4.1.x and newer.

What is "internal AMD spoofing?
What is an "SVG Multi-viewer?
Why is this used?
Try to connect physical Displays to your outputs, same result?
