firepro w7100

datapath dvi capture

deckink hdsdi capture

videofiles within dataton

During show suddenly my right projector got black for 2 or 3 sec and came back

this happened 8 times.

Hello Walter

 

Thanks for the advice.

I did a test with 6 outputs but without the 2 captures running at the same time.

 

But the thing is i see a lot of new systems with new Vid cards and new codecs running so i was wondering if this rig still is stable enough.

 

otherwise i will be going for a new i7 6 core and a firepro w8100

 

but if not needed i wil stay on this rig. 

I bought this system 3 years a go because of a corporate tour.

 

and afterwards it stood still for a while. so i'm just curious whether i need to update my rig yes or no.

 

 

thanks,
mitch

Hi ALex,

 

thanks for your reply

 

I run the side screens because there will also be introduction films in between speakers.

 

where all 3 screens will be one decor.

Hey All,

 

I got a question about GPU/CPU coverage

 

Right now i'm having a display computer with:

I7 3770k

Asus sybertooth z77

16gb ram

2x 120g ssd intel

1xasus hd7970

1x capture hdsdi decklink sdi

1x capture rgb datapath

 

 

Right now i am searching the forum if i need to update my rack or not?

 

will i be able to use this config for 4x 1920x1080 outputs, what will be my restrictions?

 

i will have a congres set up with 2 duplicated screens and 1 12x4m screen dual blend HDXW20 projectors

 

live capture from camera for the side screens

and a laptop capture for the blended screen.

and 3 graphic layers used for the blended screen.

 

What will be the best solution here?

 

thanks in advance.

Mitch

Hi All,

 

It would be nice to have a marker function on the timeline.

 

For example.

 

when running an audio track press M whenever there needs to be a marker.

this will make it much easier to put the media footage at the right place/audio spot.

 

 

greets,

[Cable question]

Hi Geogen,

 

thanks for the reply.

 

1 question left:

 

what do you prefer running 1920/1080 or 1280/720 to the projectors.

 

and will the pre split be necessary for custom made video files.

 

thanks,

Mitch

[Cable question]

Hi all,

 

I'm setting up a watchout system for a theatre tour.

 

Components:

 

Windows 7 64bit

16 gb ram

I7 3770k

Asus sabertooth z77

2x intel 520 ssd 120gb

Hd7970 dc2t3gd5

Datapath rgb e1

Decklink SDI

 

2x. Panasonic dz770

 

Poduction:

 

1x hdsdi capture 720p50

1x macbook pro capture

 

1 main background graphic will be used and max 2 duplicate hdsdi captures

 

 

2 questions left

 

 

1- will my specs be capable of running a smooth wathout show

 

2- I'm looking for the best solution to connect 2 panasonic dz770 projectors on to my watchout display computer.

 

It will be used for a theatre tour. So no much interference with main power cables etc.

 

My three ideas:

 

- DVI ->. Rgbhv running 50m cable and connected on the rgbhv from the projector

 

- DVI fiber 50m http://www.kramerelectronics.com/products/model.asp?pid=783&utm_expid=56716085-7&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kramerelectronics.com%2Fproducts%2Fsearch.asp%3Fs%3DDVI%26src%3D9

 

- Displayport -> VGA running 50m cable

 

Thanks,

Mitch

Hi All,

 

just a simple question what are the main differences between  sdi2 or deckline duo.

 

I will have my first hdsdi capture show coming up in February.

 

So i will be needing a capture card for HDSDI.

 

hoping to hear from you guys.

 

Thanks

[Rebuilding a computer for Watchout]

Hi,

 

I am new to watchout and will be starting to use WO pretty soon in my Rental Company in Holland.

 

 

I already made a mediaserver myself and was wondering what are the best upgrade suggestions.

 

The situation for now will be:

2 outputs to 2 Barco CLM HD6 projectors.

1 capture hdmi for powerpoint

1 capture Composite Video

 

 

My server contains:

 

Motherboard: asrock x58 deluxe

Processor: Intel core i7 950@ 3.07Ghz

RAM: 8gb ram

Graphic card: club3d radeon hd6870 eyefinity 6 with active adapters

HD: 1x 250 GB 72200rpm

 

suggestions:

installing 2 intensity pro cards for the capture

changing hardisk into 120 GB SSD

 

will these changes be enough to use Watchout.

 

Thanks in advance

Mitch
