[WATCHOUT version 5 - Specifications on InfoComm 2011 SHOW-computers]

why have 6gig of ram if your only running a 32Bit OS, it can only address 3gig of it

BTW Microsoft says windows XP or Windows 7 32 bit can address 4 Gb of memory.

True, but these machines is to be used for other purposes, too.

Also, price difference is slim.

I thought one of the reasons for the 3 x 2Gb for 6 Gb memory

was to achieve the enhanced throughput of the triple channel memory as compared to running 4 gb of just dual channel memory?

[3D panorama shows]

I'm looking for for some nice examples of 3D shows.

Well the best example is the WATCHOUT 5 intro show Dataton stages at it trade show booth. Full 3D, two screen blended overlap times two - four projectors with integrated 3d filters.

Impressive

 

seems their next exhbit is at PALME ASIA 2011, July 13-15 ( http://www.dataton.com/events )

[Error #2031]

Hello,

 

I´m trying to connect the controller computer and a display computer and I´m getting this error:

Connect; Error #2031

 

 

 

I can access the remote display with vnc normally.

Any clue????

 

 

The error does not come from WATCHOUT,

it comes from the Windows OS, and is being displayed by WATCHOUT.

It is usually an indication of an OS configuration that is flawed.

 

A simple google search of "Error #2031" indicates many solutions like ...

[Is there a possibility of multi-tracking and outputting within the Watchout]

Here is what I would like to do

1 Attach via firewire a Motu traveller mk3

2 Have 4 stereo audio tracks and 3 mono audio tracks and assign them to individual outputs

 

as follows:

Outputs 1 & 2 Hd Vox

Outputs 3 & 4 Hd Percs

Outputs 5 & 6 Hd Keys

Outputs 7 & 8 Hd Guitars

Output 9 Count

Output 10 Click

Output 11 Lead Vocal Safety

 

And all this with a 3 watchout display

Simple answer is yes it can be done.

Each watchout display is capable of eight channels of output.

Audio synch between displays is very good, but not phase accurate perfect.

With the way you have split up your audio,

that should not be an issue however.

 

As for the motu, you need to test that with your hardware setup.

We do have customers who use Firewire motu boxes,

but your results may vary as your hardware is not identical to those who report success.

 

One more question. Is the Watchout able to send Midi Timecode. I would potentially like to try syncing with an adat hd24 via MTC or SMTP (only if Mtc does not work)

There is no provision in WATCHOUT for output of either MTC or SMPTE.

(WATCHOUT does read and synch to all forms of SMPTE.)

 

Many users simply drop a wav file of SMPTE timecode on the timeline

to send SMPTE from WATCHOUT using the standard audio outputs.

WATCHOUT will keep the .wav file in synch with the content, even

during editing while jumping around.

 

[run time error!]

anybody have any ideas of what can be a run time error on display computer when i try to put it online ?

I can think of about 30 things with so little information.Could be incompatible hardware. i.e. a hardware configuration that does not meet its specs.There are many settings for the hardware that can cause that too.Contact your hardware vendor and work with them to be sure all components listed in the requried list in the user guide are in fact properly configured for DirectX compliance.
