  1. To assign the audio cue/file channel output:
    https://www.dataton.com/watchout-users-guide/cues/sound-cue-specifications

    and how do you connect the audio interface? 
    Production PC:  File>Preferences> Audio out setting

    Choose the interface & set the correct output channel


    NOTE: The “Audio Out” settings in the Preferences dialog box apply only to the production computer.

    Display PC.
    Each display computer has its own, independent assignment of audio output channel. This is accessed through the “Audio Out” menu shown by pressing Ctrl-W on a display computer (see https://www.dataton.com/watchout-users-guide/installation/sound

    Unfortunately that's not an option for me because my display consists in 4 screens so if I did that I'd be only having 1/4 of the image.

    you can use multiviewer or similar product to capture 4output.

    but if adding hardware is not an option.  then the answer is unfortunately no.

    is web cam an option?

    Not sure what is your ultimate goal (and budget? ), "real" output preview? "fake" preview? or just some thumbnail....?

     

  3. Hi again Jason.

    Watchout can not select NIC.
    It will pick the first one(it define by the OS) when starting.

    If delay more than 15s, is NOT normal.
    network seldom take more the 10seconds to be ready.

    You should check something else.

    Don't run Watchout on startup.
    run IP config on startup, see if you can see the "correct" nic are ready.

    and check your network settings.
    and how's your IP setting for both nic?
    and how do you know it is on the wrong nic? by IP address or?

    I dont want to do that unless I know that is the issue.  I find it hard to beleive that both nics are not ready when the pc starts up.  They both have link lights as soon as the power is turned on.  I need a better more reliable way to prioritize these nics.

    Hi Jason, 
    Believe it or not:
    1.Watchout can not select NIC
    2 Watchout can be loaded before the network is ready
    3.OS need some time to load drivers/settings....and also network.
    4.link lights on/blinking does not mean network is ready in OS/Watchout


    If you believe my above "experience", you can try
    1. set the Watchout NIC Interface metric to 1
    2. set ~15seconds Delay start for Watchout Display.
    or manually start Watchout Display instead of "startup".
    The delay command is made for waiting "something"(network is one of something) to be ready before Watchout Display start.  
    3. test it

    I could be wrong. but without trying, you never know.
    "Trial and error"

     

    or Just Try to run a simple ipconfig on startup. you will see the network is ready or not. then you can choose what to believe.

     

     

  5. This simplest feature in the world already exist in Watchout since version3,
    Which called "Looping".
    and here's user guide on how to enable the loop function.
    https://www.dataton.com/watchout-users-guide/cues/advanced-cue-specifications

    try to read the manual or google "watchout loop" shouldn't be this difficult...


    PERFECT LOOP?
    First: Watchout is not editing/compositing software.
    perfect loop video should create in other application, such as aftereffect.
    then you can simply loop the video, instead of editing/compositing in Watchout.

    Second: if you insist doing editing/compositing a perfect looping video in Watchout, You should use composition(Plus LOOPING function), instead of jumping on the (AUX)timeline
