Not yet Hubert. Expected in a later release (it’s on the roadmap).

Question = can you test if it also works if you load an edid onto the output? (so the card THINKS there is something connected?) Let me know

watachout 7 WO7 Feature Condition layer missing
Walter replied to grunewaldmedia's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Hi Andreas, conditions won't return in the same form but an alternative solution which will work even better, will be implemented. -
As Tomas said, it's (usually) a lack of preroll. I've noticed WO7 works in this way differently than WO6. With WO6 you didn't have such a warning. It just worked, until it didn't and the solution was to create more preroll or set a pause cue to preload the media. In WO7 it warns you, sometimes before you even notice. (so it shouldn't be a problem at all, it just tells you your playout isn't accurate).

display setting not available Resolution error
Walter replied to mortenrud's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Q = where do you create your custom resolution? I've had numerous issues with MX2 hardware and EDID's... always needed a lot of tweaking deep inside the EDID to resolve these issues. Not really sure as to why, just learned it as a trick to resolve issues... But I know for a fact that EDID's can harbour a bunch of issues inside, which aren't apparent since resolution seems fine... But also recently on an AW Aquilon, drove the operators crazy, until they were provided with a different EDID, directly captured into the GPU and suddenly all played nice with eachother. -
display setting not available Resolution error
Walter replied to mortenrud's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Hmmm... "Display Setting not available" actually just sounds like there's a mismatch in FPS between show-setting and display-setting. (50 vs 60 ) -
Try port 4352
-
AAC audio is not recommended. Please use WAV. And it doesn’t matter if they are short movies, played once and non-looped… you should separate the tracks. As Rainer said, Jokyo is good, but you can also try ShutterEncoder. Free and multi-platform.

tracking Link media stage position to display stage position
Walter replied to LukasU's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
@LukasU this is imho exactly what virtual displays are for. I don't understand your remark on not being able to use them in this case because in the end your media files will have "a" position in your stage area and using VD's you can take that output and re-position it on your actual LED output... Or perhaps a combination of VD's and compositions could be used? -
Hi Raul. I'm sorry, but your information is too limited to be able to properly assess what might be going on. Sure the production machine or any of the display machines isn't at it's max? For production machine, try to run with thumbnails to make it easier on it. No idea if suggestions make sense, given on the amount of information you've shared.
-
With regards to geometry: Yes, it is definitely possible, although fairly limited and cumbersome. Individual geometry will be limited to a simple 4-point correction by using a corner tween. Workflow can be a small mindf*ck, but again, if tight on budget, you will be able to manage. With regards to blending = this will be trickier, but if the budget is so low you can't even afford a projector that has this build in... Yeah, I'd take on another gig.

Push content to both production and display
Walter replied to TedCharlesBrown's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Ted, did you ensure the path on the production was relative? (Or absolute, anyway the same as specd in displaymachine ) -
Hey guys, which tool(s) are you using to create a working EDID file wider than 4096? Looking for a 4608x1152@60 edid file but my regular tool (Lightware LDC) isn't working on AMD Firepro W8100. thnx in advance!
-
Done this. No issues actually, none at all.

any suggestion to use WO to play media content 13824x3465 pixel resolution
Walter replied to kai's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Watchpax won’t give you edid management on the outputs and is lacking a framelock possibility on the outputs. Not my first choice for a large videowall. If you have the choice, why not go ahead and start doing some practical tests? You can spend all the time of the world on this forum asking for experience, but you will never get the perfect answer for your particular situation and everyone here capable of directing you would perform the testing themselves, regardless of their experience, before taking such a project into the live show environment. You’ll discover soon enough and while you’re at it: share your experience, we’re all curious about your findings! Good luck! -
Can you share a pic of the task list? Also, when changing the timeline properties, do you close all tasks and then perform an update? (And then open the timelines again).
-
50min long? Might wanna try chopping them in 2 or 4 parts. How big is one file? I wonder what this does to buffer or whatever... Or at least try the same with a few short test files (5 minutes each or so)

Thanks Hugo!

4k Video Encoding for Stable Watchout Playback
Walter replied to orfischer's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
I would never use mpeg2 or mpeg4 for 4K playback. Please use HAP codec for this and all will be fine (imo). I use adobe media encoder with repetitive success. The latest version appears to have lost the Native HAP support, but if you have a subscription, you can always install the CC2017 version. Otherwise, there is a third party solution available for this, by Disguise. -
??♂️ thanks for this completion! Can you shortly elaborate on why this (imo) additional setting is required? Would WO otherwise overrule gpu settings?
-
Any particular desired resolution? And number of simultaneous sequences?
-
Hi MisterK, you don’t have to do any settings for this in Watchout. You have to go into Nvidia control panel, advanced setting. Setup a sync master (one of the outputs) and slave all other displays and the rj45 port(s). On the next machine, use the incoming sync at the rj45 port for all displays.
-
What Leonard said! And ps: setup appears to be solid for years to come (specifically for gallery / museum setups where you normally have more than enough time to tweak content to be most efficient).
-
Nope, I second your opinion strongly! Would be really confusing if a file wouldn’t show when it hits the first frame. After all, I always sell WO as being basically a non-linear editing programme but without the need for pre-rendering and this behavior would really be out of line (and all reality). Feels like TS is referring to something like QLAB or such which is a total different kind of ballgame with its lack of timeline (although I love using it whenever convenient)
