  1. Hi all Maybe someone have an idea ? I have a show in a large rectangular venue, all walls are mapped with projectors (like a 360 but rectangular:). i use the watchout generated edge blend that has always gave me good results. My problem is that this large venue can be divided in two smaller ones, with a sliding wall that will be also projected on, on each side, separating that large venue. in this configuration i have two different shows running in these two "new" rooms. but with that wall separating the big venue in two, edgeblends need to be deactivated at the intersection of "standard" wall and this sliding wall. how to achieve that ? Automatic Edgeblend is for all displays overlaping in watchout, stage tiers can help to have "group" of displays not being affected by that edgeblend I think it's not possible to activate/deactivate edge blend during a show ? should i need to create all edgeblends in photoshop, put them above everybody, but that a lot of work (30 projectors) and it is non-real time process making it a pain to adjust for each overlap between each displays. Maybe a function in watchout that i'm not aware of ? what i know is that it will be two different configurations. a big one for the whole venue, or a smaller one for the "divided by two" venue, they will never play at the same time. If someone can help Thanks.
  2. Hi all Can i mix different resolutions (same frequence=50hz) within a watchout display ex: 1 output 3840x2160@50hz and another at 1920x1080@50hz or all resolutions must be the same ? To do this, any differences between nvidia and Amd ? or is it impossible with Watchout ? Thks
  3. is there a way to get feedback from watchout on my streamdeck ? if i play a timeline, the color of the button change (ex. Green) and when not playing it goes back to it's original color (ex. Red) ?
  4. hi how do you succeed in controlling aux timelines with companion ? i can't make a specific time line to run, only locate works, but "play" make run the main timeline, not the aux one i want to play. Thx
  5. Hi all i'm looking for the magic formula to do something in watchout i have a media in timeline moving in X only during 10s with a midi fader i want to slowdown or speedup the movement of that media. i need to start it normally with but as i need to follow an object on stage, moved by humans, i would like to be able to modify its speed manually with midi fader. Thks
  6. hi all i have a setup with this config : WO latest version 6.6.5 windows 7 x64 Radeon HD7950 Someone knows what are the latest stable drivers i can install for this GPU and working with that version of Watchout ? Thx
  7. watchout can only play 8 bits and no more ,unfortunately... while demands for playing 10 or 12 bits files is now increasing exponential. i asked a long time ago but i've been answered it will means to rewrite watchout entirely. if need to play this kind of file i use hardware player (ex: kipro 4k) or if more than 4k other capable 10-12 bits playing software.
  8. Sad news. condolences to family.
  9. Hi All i 've noticed a bug in wo 6.3.1 (didn't check with older versions) i have a video file in Hap, encoded with regular settings. no sound, size is 4416 x 1920@25fps duration is 2 seconds. it plays smoothly, no issues, but if i extend the duration of that file to 10 s in the timeline (because i need to stay on last frame of the animation.) a strange bug happens : if i go to next media in time line and go back to the previous one (with a click jump ) the video is not displayed, except if i go back to the 2 seconds in the beginning of that file, which is its real duration. as this video is extended in the timeline for 10seconds. if i locate on the last 8 seconds, nothing displayed, no video, nothing. freerun option checked or not for this video file : it's not working loop option checked: working but that's not what i want ! very weird if you need to go back in the time line in emergency ! it happens sometime ! Any ideas ? Tak !
  10. Hi Dataton crew & everyone else i'm having issues with a 4x4k setup with watchout 6.3.1 : setup is 3840x2160@50Hz x 4. i'm on win 10 x64 LTSB 1607, with recommended update KB4057142 ,tweaked with the official guide. mobo is X99 asus, GPU is Nvidia P4000, last drivers. When i play 3x4k output it works fine but when going to 4x4k watchout display is not running good at all, watchpoint exits and idle on the watchout logo, with no IP adress displayed or name. any ideas ? when i go back to 3x4k everything is back to normal. No such troubles on win 7, 3 or 4 4k outputs work fine ! Is the Official guide for win 10 and watchout is complete ? Is there not some kind of secret tweaking missing ? Is Nvidia not good for watchout, and AMD works better ? Do i need to update win 10 (LTSB 1607) with a more recent update than update KB4057142 or must stay with that one ? i know A lot of question though.... i think dataton should update the tweaking guide and be more precise maybe ? For the moment i stay on win 7. Tak !
  11. hi All and dataton crew i'm building new PC's for watchout, i follow thoroughly the tweaking guide. Is the good configuration for stable playback in watchout 6.3.1 still : Windows LTSB 1607 with kb4057142 update and no more recent update ??? or is there a difference with Windows 10 LTSC ??? i think LTSC is the new name of LTSB, but is it worth to install it ? in this case which Version and Update ? and is the tweaking guide applies to Win LTSC ? Tak Thanks Mr K
  12. Thanks for the tips i'll try 6.3 No problems with nvidia drivers ? i'm on nvidia
  13. thx for infos ! i'm still running tests with win 10 LTSB and it's very different from win 7 in comparison for the moment, when i start watchpoint.exe, it opens faster on win 7 than on win 10 about a two seconds difference. that tells me that my tuning of win 10 is not good enough. i keep on digging.
  14. Hi all, and dataton crew i follow the tweaking guide for win 10 thoroughly ! so far so good with win 10 LTSB and update KB 4057142 . i'm still testing watchout 6.3 and will switch to win 10 after weeks of heavy testing ! i just noticed one thing with the WATCHPOINT.EXE process when you look its priority in taskmanager. When you start WATCHPOINT.EXE manually its priority is "normal" but if you use the taskscheduler and follow the tweaking guide to start watchpoint.exe with a task its priority is "below normal" So is it...Normal ? :)))) Should watchpoint.exe be set to high or is it useless ? i also created a task to kill explorer.exe before starting watchpoint is it a good idea ? i've seen on the forum somewhere that the process "explorer.exe" should be killed for stable playback. Tak !
  15. Thnx for answering, i will be in test mode during this month i hope it will work
  16. Hi All and Dataton crew As watchout people are more and more working with windows 10 Can somebody exactly specify which version of Windows 10 is stable and working well with watchout 6.2.2 or 6.3 ? i quote Miro from an August post about windows 10 in "Windows 10 Tweaking guide" section of that forum According to : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows-10/release-information you said 1607 for LTSB but with all windows updates until now ? or is there some updates that shouldn't be installed after an effective date or some to avoid ? Windows 10 LTSB last update is from : 11/13/2018 and the OS built version is 14393.2608 ( KB 4467691 ). For Enterprise : you said 1709 for Enterprise but with all windows updates until now ? or is there some updates that shouldn't be installed after an effective date or some to avoid ? Windows 10 Enterprise 1709 last update is from : 11/13/2018 and the OS built version is 16299.785 ( KB 4467686 ). the tweaking list published by dataton is for Enterprise i suppose. is it ok with this version of LTSB ? is it ok with this version of Enterprise ? i'd like to give win 10 LTSB or Enterprise a chance again ,a new attempt, the third one ! (for the moment i can't find something as reliable and responsive as win 7 x64 !!!) because of new platforms like X299 motherboards with LGA 2066 that are spreading more and more and skylake processors and motherboards features are only available with win 10. Thx for help
  17. Hi Miro Can you exactly specify which version of Windows 10 is stable and working well with watchout 6.2.2 or 6.3 ? you said 1607 for LTSB but with all windows updates until now ? or is there some updates that shouldn't be installed from a certain date ? Windows 10 LTSB last update is from : 11/13/2018 and the OS built version is 14393.2608 ( KB 4467691 ) For Enterprise : you said 1709 for Enterprise but with all windows updates until now ? or is there some updates that shouldn't be installed from a certain date ?

Thx
  18. Hi all and Dataton crew i have 3 display computers with Nvidia Quadro P4000 and i would like to achieve perfect sync between these i know there is quadro sync cards Can someone describe the whole process to make it work ? i'm lost with preferences in watchout and features to create a working sync config in watchout Thanks
  19. hi i've asked the same question maybe one year ago, i've been answered "not for the moment and not in a near future" it involves watchout to be completely rewrote, in 64 bits. But it surely is a necessity, a need, nowadays, maybe like mapping etc... 10bits capable softwares are getting more and more numerous and efficient for video (generated content or video content made in 10 bits) to get rid off of banding or zoning in displayed video content (famous story of grey levels !) ciao !
  20. same problem for me too much issues with win 10 go back to win 7 x 64, i did and it's a loooooooooooot better
  21. Thanks for answers about ISS tech and ECC As i said, No possibility for me to buy WatchMax, My Display PC's are not only dedicated to watchout ! so i have clone image for each use. My decision is to go back to Win 7. I know hap is good, but it's time-consuming and making files more bigger, in weight and bitrate/s mpeg 2 is the best choice for me until now. As is said i need from time to time to open explorer on Display PC's, so if just opening a window in win 10 is bad for the system reliability, that means win 10 is not a good thing for me. Regards
