JANUARY 2015 WATCHOUT Display - JAN15 - CAPTURE CARDS.pdf WATCHOUT Multi-output WATCHOUT Multi-output ONLY works with one graphics card. That one graphics card may have up to six (6) outputs, provided the graphics card vendor includes driver support for multiple outputs under DirectX/Direct3D in 3D mode. Irrespectively the number of connectors, DisplayPort or MiniDisplayPort, all outputs over two (2) “legacy” connectors, VGA/DVI/HDMI, MUST use ACTIVE DP/MiniDP—>DVI/HDMI adapters, passive will NOT work. There are 2 different types of ACTIVE DP/MDP-adapters, Single-Link DVI and Dual-Link DVI: Single-Link DVI - cheaper, resolution up to 1920x1200, powered from the DP/MDP-connector Dual-Link DVI - more expensive, resolution up to 2560x1600, powered from separate USB or external PSU. http://forum.dataton.com/topic/93-wo5-multi-output/ Windows 7 SP1/Windows 8.1 Update 1, 64-bit or 32-bit WATCHOUT is a 32-bit application, and supports a 64-bit OS. We recommend to run WATCHOUT under a 64-bit OS, due to the fact that many drivers for capture cards etc, can make use of the extra RAM. 16 GB of RAM is usually a good reference.

anton Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Who knows? There are so many variables undefined in that description he only way to find out is to test the specific videos you will be using. So the only way to understand which configuration will be enough for my needs is to test a real computer? Maybe you could give me some advice which specification I can use for such task: 2 stereoscopic layers 2048x1080@60Hz h.264 HP (4 files at all) plus effects for these layers, dmx, timecode etc, 4 outputs (Left 1, Right 1, Left 2, Right 2). Is i7-4790k ok for it or better use i7-5820k or i7-5930k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yousefjuma Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 A technical question. Can we apply the same system image to different PC with slightly different hardware? For example the Motherboard and GPU the same, but the CPU is different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Bert Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 In the tweek list it's requirering to install quicktime. But it's kot available anymore for downlod since it's install. Do we still need to install since watchout didn't require to have it since v5? And if yes for any reason where can i get it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, version 5.5.x and all version 6 variants do not require the installation of Quicktime. Keep in mind the tuning guide is written for Windows 7. If you want Quicktime for Windows 7, it can be obtained here: Download QuickTime 7.7.9 for Windows 7 (active as of 20_Aug_2017) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Bert Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ok, thanks. And i know that the tweek is for windows 7. That being said, is it better to upgrade to windows 8 or keep 7 64bit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator jfk Posted August 29, 2017 Moderator Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Windows 7 remains the OS of choice, There is no benefit to Windows 8, only extra things to tune out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OaktownProductions Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Your last recommendations are from January 2015 so do you have any more recent recommendations for builds with X299/Z270 motherboards and newer GPUs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHuntington Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm trying to download the tweaks list from: WATCHOUT Display & Production computer Tweaking list Windows 7 Tweaking list: Windows_7_Tweaking_list_2.1.pdf And it's giving me this error: Sorry, there is a problem The page you are trying to access is not available for your account. Error code: 2C171/1 In fact, I can't download any PDF from this thread. Is this perhaps due to the forum update? We are having problems with our display machine and I need this tweaks list ASAP.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidA Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 John, it was due to the web redesign we did of dataton.com. I have now made a redirect, so the link is working again! Best regards, David 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
