mcsmokey Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hola compadres! ive got some issues getting my inputs to behave like i want in Watchout 6. display computers, 2x: motherboard: MK Asus X79-DELUXE CPU: Core i7-4930K s2011 3.4 GHz 10MB Memory: Corsair 16GB (4-KIT) DDR3 VENGEANCE 1,5V LOW Graphics: AMD FirePro W7000 4GB/GDDR5 + s400 sync card Input: 2x datapath rgb-e2s, 1x decklink sdi Screens being used is 8x NEC 55" unv, with 1080p@50 via displayport from GPU to screens. Signal to inputs are coming from a barco pds 902 3g, outputting 720p@50 via SDI. The issue is that when the input is showing over the two display computers, the input cant fade up nicely. Ive tried having an auxillary open with the input Active with opacity 0, and having 1-10 seconds of 0% opacity and then fading up, but usually one of the displays goes black and then pops up instead of fading. It doesnt happen everytime, but way too often to be comfortable with it with important clients. When using the decklink sdi card, that is synced up with the same genlock as the displays. The datapath cant be locked, but gets a sort of sync from the dvi if I remember correctly. I thought the pds could be the issue, so tried it out with a genlocked Folsom image pro instead, but the same behaviour. ive tried splitting the sdi signal and feed the decklinks with a separate signal, and also tried looping it through the first card. im running out of ideas, but maybe there is something simple ive simply forgotten. Thankful for any input (pun intended), Robert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Leong Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Here is a possible workaround. Have the inputs always 100% on in an AUX Timeline in pause mode. Have another layer with a black jpeg at 100% opacity on top of the input layer. Fade this black layer down to reveal/up to conceal the live layer. Hope that works, if nothing else will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted September 4, 2015 Moderator Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Another proven technique to keep the capture cards open at all times is to place cues for the live inputs the full duration of the show on standby layers. reference: Datapath Input Freeze 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
