seems to have been triggered by that specific piece of media. i started another new show, dropped in some files from the training footage on the key from the Vegas training a few years back and everything was hunky-dory. I'll let it loop overnight and play around with your suggested trouble shooting some more in the morning.
Thanks again Thomas

Hi Thomas, thanks for the suggestions,
First, some more info. I've got PC1, PC2 and PC3. If I use PC1 as control, then 2 works ok and i can't push content to 3. That's when I get the Network error.
If I use PC2 as control, everything is great. If I use PC3 as control, everything is great.
I swapped keys around, I swapped cables around. The problem sticks with PC1 as control and PC3 as the display.
I'll try swapping the EDID manager, though it's strange that it stuck was ok when I changed the production machine, but better to be sure and check it. I'll go down the rest of your list, thank you for sharing that!!

Searched for this and haven't found an answer to help. I've got three systems running Windows 7, configured per the tweak.pdf. They're running 5.5.2. They worked just fine at a show earlier this year, I dusted them off to use again and one of them is giving me the error in the title. I can run the Production program from that machine and push media out to them just fine. I tried a USB>ethernet adapter "just in case" with no change. After running Production from this system I went back to the original Display config of the system and it failed while updating media again. It tests out ok in the Display Properties. Anything else you can think of to check?

I saw Tibbo and Moxa were recommended in an old 2012 post. Is this still the case? At least the Tibbo, maybe not so much the Moxa. I'm looking at using the DS1102 to trigger another system the client has cooked up.

I confirmed the video card was set to be the default audio device (an nVidia something somethingty something), restarted each system, no luck. I plugged in some headphones to confirm I was getting audio through the analog channel on the display system after resetting the default device. I heard audio. I yanked the plug and immediately audio began playing over the HDMI connection. I have thirty some different auxiliary timelines in this, I started playing another one and the audio disappeared. Never to return. I'm running analog under carpet cable and we'll just use a normal speaker.

Ok, I'll check there, which I believe it is, but then I'll work on an analog solution.
Thanks Jonas.
and for future reference, I did encode at 44.1hz and had turned off Windows Media Center during the initial tweak process
I'm not sure this will work at all through a graphics card, ie never tested by us.
A pre-requisite is that your default audio device is the correct one, the graphic card that is.

I've never used audio in a presentation, and am running into a little hiccup in my first use.
Running 5.5.1, Sending the audio through the video card to hdmi. I extracted the audio from the video file and have a .ts file for video and a .wav file for audio. Tested alone, everything is peachy keen, when I hit ctrl-L to go online while the timeline is running, i get a blip of the audio track, just not during playback. Any ideas?

Another cloning seems to have resolved everything. Ahhh the glamorous life of a systems designer

haha, I decided to just clone another system over, we don't generally do anything beyond simple display sync, so there's never any VNC installed, or ancillary configuration. Now I've got a directshow media error. The clone is directly off of the system I just qc'ed and built my show with, and the windows media settings in windows features are set just like the tweak list says. Maybe this is a good case for investing in Watchpax

plenty of space as well, 100's of gb on the work drive, and 30-40 on the os drive

1 production machine and 2 display machines, but just the one cluster.
uac is off, have run through the optimization checklist. i'll check to make sure i didn't overlook anything on it.

Display system 1 worked fine, I changed the display system's IP in Watchmaker to test display system 2 and the connection tests as "good". When I try to go online I get messages saying "create; Can't create show", then "load; Show doesn't exist" and then "gotoTime; Not applicable". I tried creating a new watchmaker file but no change. What should I look for to resolve this?
The prep checklist has been completed, there's plenty of space on the drives, ip's are good and the connection tests ok. I'm end-of-the-week-stumped.

Is there another location for this sort of request that would be better suited?
Feb 17-26, in Orange County, 4 projector blend, v5 mullti output computers. Info is trickling in, we're trying to see if we can source the labor before we commit, the period of time is too long to tie up our in house guys.

Excellent, thanks all. I'll report back once I have something worthwhile.

Excellent. Any comments on using serial outputs from the system to control the switcher? Or should I look at controlling that in addition to watchout from the touchscreen interface?
Thanks Mike, I'll reach out to them today.

Just spoke briefly with Jim Testa at SS and he confirmed we're basically going to be limited to about 4 inputs on a reliable system, using black magic intensity cards. I'll have upwards of 6 hdmi sources that I'd like to show on screen at different times, so I'm thinking of using a presentation switcher to feed my sources into, then send that to the capture card, and have serial output cues in the show to switch the input. Sound good?
Final goal is to have an ipad or external touchscreen control the show, calling up live demo's and then triggering pre-recorded video playback.
My other thought would be to use a small all in one touchscreen pc, and send serial control from it to the switcher and ascii commands to either the production system or setup as a display cluster and control without a production system.
Could use your experienced input, thanks.

Good to know, thanks!

I've not found mention of the older w500 or the new w600 cards in the forum. I spoke with AMD at Infocomm about it, and it seems like it would be a great card. Low power consumption, small footprint, multiple 1080 streams can be rendered off the gpu, and it will support all 6 outputs in Eyefinity mode. They seemed to think it would work well in this application, and slip a little compared to Radeon cards only in 3d game play scenarios.

Thanks Jonas, that's good to know. I ended up being able to source a de-embedder and get that onsite.He Adam, just out of curiosity: why would you like to capture audio? I can't think of a reason myself, never occurred to me to use watchout for audio mixing of live sources. Audio from live feeds in my world would be routed to the audiomixer directly.
Walter, we've got appletv's being captured, and iPad's are mirroring their screen to the appletv's, there's some videos in the keynote files to play over the system. It's a live presentation and brainstorming and all sorts of things going on type of session, the wireless mirroring of the iPad should be pretty cool.

Working on putting out some fires, wondering if anyone's got experience capturing audio from the Intensity Pro HDMI capture cards. I don't have a way to test myself right now, just trying to orchestrate a backup and can't find info on this.
Thanks!

I just did 5 1080 streams. 1 year old i7 machines (one may have been an i5, but specs indicate it was faster then the previous i7...to many versions. I'd have to dig out the build quote) 6gb ram, ssd's, v5.0, 6990 4gb ati card. the 4gb of vram, and 2 gpu's on the card are killer. mpeg2 file format, ~20mb/s data rate.

Watchout is 5.0 - correct
The only audio in the show is, the time code :/ Plays over the speakers just fine
Audio file icon is dead center of Display 1 on the stage.
When everything gets back I'll have to try a balanced converter. I have some Whirlwind PCDI's that ought to do the trick. Spaced on that, thanks.

Hey Jim, I must have just previewed my reply instead of submitting.
I should have mentioned the 5.0 stage bug but neglected to, that's been relayed to the onsite crew and they're aware of that. The level mismatch was a concern, they've adjusted laptop volume levels as well as added a volume tween to check with that to no avail. By simple connection cable, what do you mean? They're running a 6' cable with mini rts plug on one side and XLR on the other, no adapters.

Network Error; Display Computer: Connection Lost in 5.5.2 question

Where can I find said log files?
Having this problem again, though it's following the w600 card as I move it through spare computers. Haven't touched my two good systems yet but swapping cards between them will be the next step. As I go online and files are transferring, the troubled system will crash it's display program.
