[domeprojection software on watchpax60]

Hi watchout community, happy new year and hope you are doing well.

tomorrow i have to use a watchpax 60 for a dome setup.. usually i use my own servers but this time i will  use watchout 60.

As i will use domeprojection to auto calibrate the videoprojectors, i will need to install patterngenerator software on the watchpax60.

could you someone tell me how to access to the desktop of a watchpax 60 ? i did not try but i feel it is not only bt CTRL W....i just finish to ready the manual of watchout 60 and i am not sure if i will have access to the desktop to setup my software ..

Any advise please

Thank you

Mounir

 

[8 INPUTS ? SHOULD I GO TO NDI]

Hi RBeddig, thank alot for your reply...it s very clear.. my output is coming from the same graphic card (1pc) and the information doesn t looks so heavy as it is for coming from an sql database so only TEXT and black background .........i might do some testing .. in case i have issue i will connect it directly to my LED PROCESSOR in DVI and use the HDMI input for watchpax for the other contents....

 

Dear Wiesemann, YES same time .

[control light from player]

Hi Everybody,

a quick question :

i am using an IPAD to control the player, i don t use the producer in my permanent installation.

 

I need to update my setup because we add some light that need to be control by watchout.

I am waiting my order of dmxethergate mk2 that should come this week.

I will use the producer to configure my light because i need to have access to my timeline and

My question is :

After configure my light, can i remove my producer and connect my dmxethergate mk2 to my player ?

is the light will work ?

 

Thank you for your help.

[NETWORK CABLE MAXIMUM DISTANCE]

Ok Thanks Jonas

[NETWORK CABLE MAXIMUM DISTANCE]

Hi Watchout family,

i have a quick question.

What is the maximum distance for a cat6 rj45 network cable with watchout.

I know that in theory the maximum is 100m

But i already use 130m without any delay.

 

Now i would like to know if someone already did it with more than 200m ?

I like to keep the display close to the projector and connect it direct

I don t like too much to use fibre optical.

 

Thanks

[Control projector from production computer]

Hi Mike,

i didn t set a password.

BUT  i have a doubt with my PORT..it seems to be 10000 but not working.

I don t know what port use my DHD800, i call christie they told me 3001. i try but not working.

As i am finalizing my setup, i use the rs232.

I am pretty sure that the PORT is wrong that s why it is not working by TCP IP.

Thanks for your help mike.

Long life to dataton

[Control projector from production computer]

Hi Mike,

I test with usb to rs232 and it works fine. command is : C00$0D

I test the command from telnet and it works fine but in watchout, i can not string by tcp or upd, i use the same command (i add also $0D)

But it is not a big deal, because my rs232 is working.

Thanks for your help mike

[Control projector from production computer]

Hi Mike

thanks for your reply.

Just to be sure but i will test it tomorrow....

This is means that i can use string output my projector with network port TCP and ip port 1000 ? and if i tape the command C00 my projector will switch SWITCH ON ?

Thanks for your help Mike

[Control projector from production computer]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

The reason why i wanted to do it with the production computer is because i have no more place on my display motherboard to setup my RS232 card , i will buy a USB to RS232 and connect it to the display.

 

I need to check if my projector (christie DHD 800) can communicate by TCP or UPD.

 

Thanks for your reply Mike

[Control projector from production computer]

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to send to the projector to SWITCH ON or SWITCH OFF from the RS232 of my PRODUCTION COMPUTER.

I know to string from a display computer but i would like to know if i can do the same with my PRODUCTION COMPUTER

My second question is : can we send strings to a videoprojector with network cable or we mus to use RS232 connection ?

Thanks
