    Since we haven't tested it, we can't say. /jonas

    And this is mentioned, specifically, in our "Windows 7 Tweak list". /jonas

    Are the hardware used for these Windows 8.1 tests, identical to the Windows 7 based system? /jonas
  4. Jonas Dannert
    Then the obvious question is, is the behaviour the same in the current version, 5.5.1? Placing a cue at time 0:00.00 is not a good thing anyway, I believe. /jonas

    Thanks for sharing, John! /jonas

    Kasper, The thing is, we can not see this issue inhouse. Please make a clean un-install/re-install of WATCHOUT, instead of an upgrade, and clear any residing caches. /jonas

    Hi Jacek I'll suggest the standard procedure for creating new Shows: 1 - First you create a Folder for the Show you have in mind 2 - Then create a new Show, and save your new .watch-file there. 3 - In the same folder, create a new Folder called MEDIA for example, 4 - Then move/copy the file/s in question (and any subsequent new ones, too) into this Folder, BEFORE adding them to your Shows Timeline/Stage/Media window. In this way you avoid any "access denied" issues, and can easily move the Show to any computer afterwards. Hope this helps /jonas

    Interesting...that works? Never tried it, though How/with what software do you access the node? /jonas

    Answered you in support@dataton.com /jonas

    Christian, "You can configure it with 6 outputs, but for support reasons, we have saved one for the the OS" Why?? /jonas

    Thanks for sharing, Jim! /jonas

    I'm sorry, but DIS is not designed for full frame-rate (30fps) video playback, so your workaround will unfortunately not work well. /jonas

    We have not set any maximum size here, it's as much a hardware capacity issue as a software question. 1 fill will normally equal At what bit-rate and which codec type are these files encoded? This normally works very well, especially since smaller files normally yields less bitrate than one bigger file at the same quality settings. But the hardware at hand, is of course important, too. i7 / X990@3,47GHz SSD ATI RADEON HD6900 Your machine is not bad in any way, and 6-core is always preferred, but a newer X79-based system is quite a bit faster. Adjusting content specs to the hardware at hand is crucial when trying to set up a stable system. If it's not working well for you, send us a show (with the content in question), to us for a test. File it at support@dataton.com It might help, but I think there might be other issues at play here, in your case. There are many things that can affect playback performance and sync, one can not simply "throw hardware" at the problem. Normally, for projection, this works well. If we talk about LED-walls, it's a bit different. Then a hardware frame-locking solution would help more.

    Piotr, I think you need to pre-split your content into as many pieces as you have outputs. In this way you will run four simultaneous threads of video, instead of one Then put them in a composition for convenience. /jonas

    Great idea, can be used with the old (WO5) Network Camera input in WATCHOUT, "Media/Add Network Video" We've used AXIS series of network cameras for this, they have several supporting WiFi. http://www.axis.com/products/cam_m1004w/index.htm http://www.axis.com/en/products/cam_m1033w/index.htm http://www.axis.com/en/products/cam_m1034w/index.htm The camera you describe have not been tested by us, so I have no idea if or how well it might work with WATCHOUT. To make this more mobile, set up a WiFi AP on the same IP address range as your WATCHOUT network. /jonas

    We are missing key info here. What is the physical size of your projected screeen and the visible surface on the monitors in question? /jonas
  17. Jonas Dannert
    Normally, use the latest version, if you're not have any explicit reason for not to. We do not verify any driver from third parties, WATCHOUT only requires them to be installed, configured and work properly in Windows. Latest version at the moment is Desktop Video 9.8, can be found here: http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/ http://software.blackmagicdesign.com/DesktopVideo/Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_Windows_9.8.zip /jonas

    What you describe is a Wake-On-LAN (WOL) and network card hardware issue, NOT a bug in WATCHOUT. It might work on some motherboards/network cards, but not on others. Either way it's a bit out of our control. /jonas
  19. Jonas Dannert
    For WOL and WATCHOUT:s own Power Up command to work, there are some small pre-requisites, too: - WOL has to be setup correctly in the PC in question, normally in the network card settings, sometimes in BIOS, too. In some PC:s it's open from start, as a default, but normally one have to set it up. - when it works, and you've tested it, DON'T break power to the Display PC:s, then the WOL setup is broken/will not work. /jonas
  20. Jonas Dannert
    Callum, If you don't select a Display when "Manage Display Computer->Shut down", then ALL DisplayPC:s in the Show will power down. /jonas

    Apple-stuff = ie DisplayPort adapters? They will never work with WATCHPAX, because they are all passive. (except for the Dual-Link DVI product, which is powered via USB) We have not tested any specific DisplayPort cables, but the one's I've used have all worked. So we have no specific links for this. A DisplayPort cable is not passive or active, it's a DisplayPort connection only, no conversion is going on. If it's a MiniDP to DP cable or DP to DP cable does not matter, as I see it. /jonas
  22. Jonas Dannert
    Yes you can, almost any DP cable should do, the shorter the better, of course. /jonas
  23. Jonas Dannert
    No, it is not possible, unfortunately. But if they burn, why does the WATCHPAX survive? My question still stands, what is the actual temperature here? http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1042-watchpax-needs-an-active-minidp-to-dvivga-adapter/ /jonas
  24. Jonas Dannert
    Yes. /jonas
  25. Jonas Dannert
    I/we have not encountered this before, on any brand, What is the actual temperature around them? Accell usually works well: http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1042-watchpax-needs-an-active-minidp-to-dvivga-adapter/?do=findComment&comment=4110 /jonas
