Combining Watchout with Analog way

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I have a project where we are going to project 3 2K-projectors with edgeblend on a screen sized 50m x 10m.

They also need live input HD-SDI.

Because of the demand lowest frame delay as possible, I was thinking of combine the Watchout system with a Ascender 48 from Analog Way.

It manage to have 4 outputs in 2K, so my idea is to send 3 outputs from Watchout in 2K resolution. Make the edgeblend in Watchout, use it as a background in the Ascender with content playback an have the possible to use PiP with live video on the background.

 

Does anyone have experience to combine those two systems?

 

Will I manage to do this in that way or is it a lot of pitfalls?

 

Best

Thanks.

I'm I right if I overlap the displays in different tiers it will not edgeblend?

 

Yes, but the normal way take out edgeblend completely, is to go to Preferences -> Edgeblend Tab and dial down the edgeblend curve to 0.

 

 

 

Or do I turn off edgeblend in a different way?

 

And pre-splitting the movie will have the same effect?

 

Yes.

Hi

We combine Watchout with our spyder (similar to your Analogway) for LIVE PiPs.

Watchout is only the Background for us. The Blending makes the Spyder.  I would do this this way, because i can remove the Watchoutlayer and use a still background in case of Backup. I thing the AW does the Same

 

After a Trainee Session at Christie Germany we will try to use a PIP directly from the Projektor and also the Blending / Warp from this. Without Spyder or another Mixing Unit!

 

Greetings

Daniel
