hdmi - ndi converter I want to convert HDMI into an NDI signal..
wiesemann replied to Sarah's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
I had exactly as a feature request at the beginning of the pandemic. WO is so good at orchestrating and playing back, that I had thoght it could be useful for virtual multiscreenplayback. Maybe with a different licensing model. -
online freeze. Caching error during file transfer
wiesemann replied to grunewaldmedia's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
disable any networkadapter except on that you will be using. I would try to avoid spaces, Sonderzeichen and Umlaute in file and foldernames. Just my 2€- 4 replies

watchpax 60 audio Sending LTC From Watchout; Broken Signal
wiesemann replied to Bryan's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
hm, did you try a 16 bit mono wav? Did you check with the TC tool that comes with WO? Did you try another TC-Reader to validate the TC itself? Any chance to post that TC file? Just out of curiosity.- 10 replies

when in doubt sync WO and the others to a different timecode playing device. Have successfully used an iPad for that in the past.- 10 replies

Flashing at pause cue and while playing back with PNG files
wiesemann replied to joeartist's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Hi… Did you try the Jpegs? Have you tested all tgis with the main timeline as well? My Experience of „flashing“ at a pause/loop-cue is that it only occurs on Aux-timelines. When I used he Main-timeline, the issues were not happening. For further testing on whats happening I place a colorbar image on the main timeline and just would let it sit there, displaying it. Starting an Aux-timeline with any content above would show this colorbar image for a fraction of time at the pause/loop cue. I filmed this in slow on the phone and have posted here some years ago. As proof of whatever this is. ——- As a result of never having this issue really resolved I am avoiding looping with cues OR place that same content on the main timeline below it. Going to different Maintimeline cues while playing the Aux-TL can be „programmed“ with cues. cheers -
well, why not use MIDI for fading? As you originally planned… Much easier than dealing with DMX (I really wish one could work with DMX „offline“). Use a cheap device (search for MIDI fader) like a Korg Nanokontrol 2. Or,go the software route if you have an extra computer, maybe even wich touch monitor. In that case you could use one of my favorite programs, OSC Pilot. Watchout is able to „learn“ which Midicontrol-change(s) you are using.
-
Maybe tell us, what your general plan is. Unless it is a secrec business idea, of course. Like… what device(s) do you want the videos to be shown on? What made you think of Watchout, which has its special powers in distributing video across multiple screens.. on cue. (very much simplified). You could have all your videos loaded into watchout and have some touch-panel for selecting the clips to play. They would all have their indiviual timelines or. (I know there are different ways to do this) No need for a webpage in that case. .

I would try going with 16 Bit stereo wav-files.

Streamdeck/Companion is really good. I was thinking of the OSC/Pilot more because of the faders. Probably a combination would be the best, since Companion can trigger „start/pause/stop“ out of the box and OSCpilot can have a whole bunch of faders…
-
Dont know the Yamaha device. But it probably „understands“ MIDI and/or OSC, So I‘d look at OSCPilot, especially if you want to use a touchscreen.

——————— I have to chime in here, of course. With my advice to not try looping in WO. That flashing Black you see is actually transparency, place a bright color on a layer beneath the looping points. You will see this flashing instead of black. I tried this with images, videos… doesnt matter, It wont loop seamlessly. So here is the actual advice, make the sequences you want to loop really long, so they dont have to loop as a sequence but playback the looping clips.
-
After trying to seamlessly looping either videos or dissolving slideshows using freerun or two play/pause cues I have come to the conclusion to never try it again, but instead just repeat clips/images in really long timelines, so a loop is not necessary. It just doesnt really do it.
-
Do you need to see them all at the same time, all the time? Otherwise you could switch before going into Watchout, saving bandwidth..

Audio not looping correctly with Dante Display output
wiesemann replied to PierreLucB's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
Well, when the audio is not looping you will have to stack them on two tracks with a fading overlap. Make on track, then copy it, place it and then copy the two… You might want to add a temporary play cues for easier „snapping“ of the fade-points. Remove those when done. -
Audio not looping correctly with Dante Display output
wiesemann replied to PierreLucB's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
What I have done after detecting that looping seems to not a strength in WO with images or films either, I just created really long timelines instead of loops, I think 24h is max.. Maybe that is an option. -

Wav, 16 bit, Auxtimeline or Main? -
DMX Lights not responding to Watchout's Art-Net Output
wiesemann replied to Faab's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
I had to work on a project that someone else had started (of course, never my fault..) and DMX was not working correctly. It was set to 16 bit instead of 8… Who knows… -
Is this a 2 channel 16 bit audio wav?

Hey Dataton, please add OSC In and Out and NDI Output as new additional features. cheers.

Hi, it looks like the visuals had been tiled in 3DMax already, around 300 or 500 square pixels they are really tiny. The textures should be „baked“ to fit to the object before exporting from 3DMax. You can check by exporting and reimporting/opening the object and the texture into a new file in 3DMax.

Why NDI Source Switching Source from Primery to Alternet.
wiesemann replied to MAHESH VERMA's topic in WATCHOUT FORUM
weird. Try using vMix Desktop Capture instead of Newteks tool. Has never let me down for years. Make sure you only have one Network Interface active on the Windows machine. Start the NDI track at the beginning of your timeline, fade it in when needed.
