BournaAvenue Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Edit 09/22: False alarm everyone. It only happens when I'm on a live video element when I go online, which I've been having problems with. And it's all I've been testing recently which is why it kept on happening. Watchpoint is fine when going online with images and video. Thanks to every one who replied! Display PC Specs CPU - i7-6850K Mobo - Asrock X99 Taichi - Motherboard RAM - G.Skill Trident Z 32GB 3200MHz GPU - AMD Firepro W600 OS - Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit Watchout 5.5.2 I have only one monitor plugged into the Display PC. When going online for the first time after opening Watchpoint, I will lose the signal to the monitor. I can fix is by going in an out of Windowed Mode (Ctrl+W). The problem will disappear until I close and reopen Watchpoint. This has happened with multiple monitors. I have recently reformatted the PC and redone the tweaking list but the problem persists. Is there a deeper issue here or is it something I can ignore since it's not too much trouble? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Leong Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Q1: Are you sure signal to monitor is lost when going online? The std behaviour when going online is a black fullscreen, assuming the Production PC is in pause mode at the beginning of the Main Timeline. Did you try to play the Timeline? Please ignore. Read your other posts and you seem to be an experienced user. Apologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackboyd Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Make sure your resolution and framerate in Watchout Production match your hardware settings. Also try using EDID emulation in the Firepro control panel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mindopera Posted September 20, 2017 Member Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Also make sure your not in standby mode. As that will be black as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BournaAvenue Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 The monitors I use turn blue when they don't detect a signal so I know it's not standby mode. @ zackboyd I'll play around in catalyst and see if that fixes it. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Steve Farris Posted September 21, 2017 Member Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 If the resolution of your monitor is set to something different than the display spec in the stage specs, the display will re-sync to the resolution specified in Watchpoint when you go on line. This will cause a momentary loss of signal. Could that be what is happening? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
