Mtyndorf Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hey Guys Anyone ever tried using the Behringer FCA610/FCA1616 or the Tascam US-16x08 multichannel interfaces with watchout? Looking for a more flexible output solution than motherboard audio and these hit a very attractive price point. Got a show coming up that will have 3 seperate rooms, each with an LED screen and its own audio track. Looking to play them out of a single Watchout server (all resolutions are under 1080P, very easy to handle even for an older machine) but need to output 3 discrete stereo tracks, each to its respective display. Any thoughts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayunta Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hello, we have used them for two years and they work well. A greeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBeddig Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi, An affordable solution could be the Roland UA-1010 OctaCapture. We are using this in our Academy showroom and it works well with 8 discrete outputs. Another option is right on the doorstep with the next version of WATCHOUT - version 6.2. This will allow you to use up to 24 channels through ASIO. Best regards, Rainer Beddig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Leong Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I know Watchout 6.1.6 'sees' and works with the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. Had a chance to use it last weekend at an open air event: Watchout > Scarlett 6i6 > Ovation > Sound Desk. Excellent sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidPatrick Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 We have both the FCA610 and 1616 boxes, and they work very well for us. 6.2 will add ASIO support, which opens up a lot of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jochri Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think the UA-1010 OctaCapture from Rainer is an excellent choice! If you want to go more high end I would like to mention the Focusrite 16 Line. https://pro.focusrite.com/category/audio-interfaces/item/red-16line Its not on the market yet but it also has a meterbridge which can be very useful when someone complains about Watchout not playing sound . Then you just point on the meter and show him the moving meterbridge... But what makes it a real good choice in my eyes is the support of redundant DANTE audio networking. Edit: Not sure if its really redundant but having two ethernet ports at the unit might be useful for this configuration... Lots of productions putting a stagebox on top of the Watchout racks anyway. So I think its just the next logical step to avoid the D/A A/D conversion. Welcome to the future... Some productions over the last months also had more then 8 channels so I think the 16 channels are a good choice but it all depends on the type of shows you are doing.
