densi Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hello, I'm using watchout on three very powerful servers. There are one projector connected to each server. I am projecting one movie file at a time 4000x500 and the problem is when Im starting to play it, two of three computers begin playback perfectly and the third one only shows the first frame of a movie then it pauses. Every time I hit play pause this story repeats. Hardware and software setup on these servers are practically the same. intel i7 12gb ram, nvidia quadro 5000. What are your suggestions on this?

Neil Stratton Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi Densi-can we assume the movie is encoded as per Dataton suggestions and that it is pre-split? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
densi Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 No its not a pre split and it is .mov photo jpeg. I know that dataton recommends wmv mpeg2 or h264. But two of three identical computers are doing great, doesnt make sense for me( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 "three very powerful servers" Meaning what, exactly?? "one movie file at a time 4000x500/ its not a pre split and it is .mov photo jpeg" At what bitrate ?? I would be very surprised if this works, reliably. Pre-split and MPEG-2, is probably the way to go here. What is the output running on, projection, LED, screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Stratton Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hardware and software setup on these servers are practically the same. practically the same or exactly the same? Have you installed any Blackmagic drivers on the third machine? I would take Jonas' advice here and pre split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted March 16, 2012 Moderator Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hardware and software setup on these servers are practically the same. practically the same or exactly the same? I had the same thought. What cloning software did you use to make them exactly the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessi Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 With this frame size (4000x500) I think You schould try Quicktime H.264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
