[Watchout training]

Are any training formal classes available for Watchout?

The training videos are very helpful, but does Dataton provide also documented training on Watchout?

[Watchout best practices]

We are a Rental Staging company from Orlando, Fl and we own 8 Watchout 4.3 systems.

After using the system in different configurations for various shows we learn through trial and error some best practices. I would like to get more information from you regarding different limitations of the system by answering to the next questions:

• What is the resolution that you use the system at usually?
• What compression do you use for your media? (use have our own graphic department and after several tries we are in between ProRes 422 or PhotoJpg)
• What was the max resolution that you used the system in a blended configuration and what format was the moving background in?
• Have you used the system in different locations linked by multiple network switches, or have to be all at the same network level.
• What was the max number of graphic layers on one display that you used?
• Is your system using a solid state HDD for the show, is this upgrade preferable to a regular HDD. (is the HDD the bottle neck for this reason)

Our current units have Intel I7-860 processors, Assus DP55KG motherboards and ATI HD4770 videocards with Windows 7 with 4GB of memory. We are planning to upgrade to Watchout 5; any recommendations for components update?

Any other best practices examples are greatly appreciated, thanks
