Hi guys, So I'm pretty new to Watchout, just setting my first steps. But I had a quesetion. Are there any specific hardware specs for playout machines? Any parts that need to be maxed out, anything like that? I've build multiple (gaming) PC's in the past, so I have a pretty good understanding of the whole thing. Cheers James

Hello, i work in an audiovisual company in Argentina (mapping and video installations). www.sasami.com.ar We actually own 4 watchout licenses. We are upgrading our 3 display computers. I got budgets based on the 2012's .PDF of this forum. Some components are newer versions of those of the pdf. We only work with XGA projectors (only a few times we use HD projectors). So, our principal need is to achieve 4/6 VGA analog outputs in each display computer (we may have to use miniDP-VGA, DP-VGA or DVI-VGA adaptors) Option 1: -MOTHER GIGABYTE (1150) GA-Z97M-D3H) -1 INTEL CORE I7 4790 -2 RAM KINGSTON DDR3 HYPER-X 8GB 1600MHZ -2 SSD-KINGSTON 240GB SATA3 -1 VIDEO CARD ASUS R9 280X 3GB DDR5 (2miniDP + 1HDMI + 1DVI-D + 1DVI, i think that we may use 4 VGA outputs with this card) -POWER SENTEY MBP-850W -1/2 BLACKMAGIC INTENSITY PRO OPTION 2 (The only difference is the video card): -2 VIDEO CARD SAPPHIRE R9 270X 2GB DDR5 I also found this graphic card with 6 miniDP outputs, do you thing is better than de ones above for 4/6 VGA outputs? -AMD FirePro W600 2GB GDDR5 6 Mini DisplayPort Eyefinity 6 Edition PCI-Express Graphics Cardor -AMD FirePro W7000 4GB GDDR5 4DisplayPort PCI-Express Workstation Graphics Card I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

Hi All, I will be using Watchout for the first time, these are the hardware specs that my vendor gave me. Please have a look and advise on the same. 4U Industrial Cabinet I7 4770K Asus or Giga z87/97 16 GB RAM RAID 0 of SSD 250GB GPU W5100- 4GB DDR5 I will be also using a DATAPATH VisionRGB e2s2 card and Blackmagic Decklink Studio 4K . Please let me know if its OK? or shall I change something. Thanks....

Is there an official or unofficial list of tweaks for Windows 8 yet? I really relied on having the Windows 7 tweaks in my toolbox and I'd love an update for Windows 8. I know that others develop tweaks that they find useful as well to keep Watchout machines running at a top notch condition, I'd love to hear what other members are doing as well to tweak their machines. Thank you, Jason H. Thompson
