Luca Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi all, I have a watchout display computer that runs windows 7 pro x64 and W.O. 5.1 It has a Datapath VisionRGB-E2S (2x DVI In). With the datapath software (Vision windows) everything works ok: I can see a preview of my input in 1080i50 1080p50 1080p25 1080p59.94 and 1080p60 mode. In W.O. environment I can only see it working in 1080p59.94 and 1080p60. If I set both the source and the W.O. Video Input to 1080p50 or 1080p25 or 1080i50, watchout only output a still frame of my input. It grabs a new frame every time I heat ctrl+D (update) but the live video is freezed. I have installed the latest Datapath drivers and installed watchout 5.1 after the driver installation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have installed the latest Datapath drivers and installed watchout 5.1 after the driver installation. While that confirms the hardware, it does not confirm the driver. The Datapath utility does not use the same DirectX driver that WATCHOUT requires. Datatpath has had some issues with their DirectX driver recently, they recently released a fix. Have you contacted Datatpath support to determine if what you are attempting is even possible with the DirectX driver? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 What is your capture source input actually? What is it you want to achieve with 50i/25p/50p, that can't be done on 60p? Internally WATCHOUT works at 60 fps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 what I want to capture is a TV signal, but in many circumnstances I'll have to capture a folsom encore program (usually 50p) or a direction station program (usually 50i). for my tests I've used a folsom image pro HD which can give me all the output formats I need to test every signal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I wrote to datapath tech support and they gave me this solution: run cmd.exe as administrator and type the following command dplinks -changefriendlyname after running that command I was able to view 1080i50 1080p50 1080p25 720p50 so it seems to be solved 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
