Ulisses Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hello, I tried to setup a playback control using the iphone app, but probably I didn't understood the concept. I could connect to the displays computers IPs, but not to the main computer. How it works ? Thanks, Ulisses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WATCOHUT Remote control app talks directly to the display(s), production must be turned OFF (or at least offline) to use WATCHOUT Remote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's designed for control of Display computer/s only. Production computer must be offline. Please see our training movies on the website for more info. /jonas (null) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulisses Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I didn't know the videos Now I got it is projected to control the display computer, but how to control 12 display computers if you can enter only one IP ? Or I missed something ? Thanks again, Ulisses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted March 14, 2012 Moderator Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 All display computers are managed through the connection to a single display computer. That single computer is known as the "cluster master". When you choose a show to load, the cluster master looks in the show file and determines the addresses of all the other computers in the group. The cluster master then contacts all the other computers on its own and manages their following along. So if your show file contains 12 display computers, all 12 computers are managed through the single connection. Any computer within the group can act as a master, does not matter which one you choose, they all contain a copy of the show file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Organ Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I love this Watchout app. Sorry for this early morning exclamation but it is truly awesome little app. It makes the iPhone worth having just for that. Thanks again Dataton. David 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Gilbert Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 the WO remote app rocks... However we experience the following: The iPhone or iPad keeps disconnecting. We tested it using a D-Link router as well as an Airport express, same problem. we use dedicated IP addresses. Tested in our studio environment whee another wireless router is operating but we never connected it to the Airpot express nor the D-Link. Any idea why this happens and what potential solution we may use? once launched, the show runs but if we need to reconnect, there is a short stop in the show before it continues playing. Thanks in advance. Michel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
