mathieu Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 still nothing. i try with the Opous sending 1080i, 1080p, 1080sf, 50hz or 60hz. and still nothing. and everytime, the blackmagic media express give me the proof that signal is here. each time i close media express, to let WO alone with the capture card. can i maybe let both software working together? thanx, Mat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathieu Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 maybe something to check about Direct show API? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 this is additional information: mother board : ASUS P5E WS cpu : intel Q9300, 2.50GHz Mat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 DirectShow API: no, there is nothing to check. Hardware config: I would not run WATCHOUT 5 on this. Too low spec. What kind of graphics card is used? Which driver for HDExtreme? Are we talking about Preview in the Stage Window of Production OR capture in a Display computer?

Jonas Dannert Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 One thought: If it works in SD, but not in HD, it might be that the chosen slot on the motherboard, is not running in x4 mode, instead in x1. Try swap slots to see if that makes a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 we are talking about preview and capture on a display computer. both are not working ill check about the slots, and give feedback thanx, Mat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Preview (in WATCHOUT) is only possible on the Production computer, with a identical capture card present. On Display there is only capture, hence my question. If this does not work, please file à report at support@dataton.com instead. Enclose your showfile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 yes, i meant preview on the production computer, and capture on the display one. production computer and display computer have the same card. sorry if my english is not so good...... and even if the mother board slot is X1 and not X4, the Blackmagic Media Express shows the HDSDI signal. thanx, Mat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 So, do as I recommended above! We know this is working, on more than one setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dataton Partner Walter Posted October 2, 2012 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Uhm, guys, not sure if you're talking about live video content (probably not since signal is coming from an AW Opus), but if so, i would avoid using interlaced signals because of delay caused by deinterlacing. 720p usually looks great, specially on video. Graphics could of course always be 1080p, but tben i suppose you'll use dvi / datapath anyway (BM is more video from my pov). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basilok Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 if you are capturing 1080 50i you can display it in watchout only with 1080 25p I don't know why but it always work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
