scott britt Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 First show with version 5.0... Timecode reads fine with WO 5 timecode tester... I am using Timecode straight into the display PC...When I engage the display software with the "txt" file that loads my show and sets the TIMECODEmode it chases...but is constantly starting and stopping every second or two...both in audio and video... I am using a MOTU box to generate Timecode and tried various levels, cables, etc...(same hardware as I ran in version 4.3) I am using a M-Audio Delta 44 box to input and output sound on my display PC...which is a Windows 7 - 32 bit, ATI 6950, all recommended "adjustments" to windows... Everything runs fine when running the show through Production PC Any suggestions would be helpful...

scott britt Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So believe it or not it was that there was other "network traffic" on switch that the display computer was attached to... I wasn't concerned about this as I am only using one display computer reading SMPTE...I wouldn't even have it connected to the network except that Watchout requires it... I have isolated it on it's own switch now...Suggestion would be to fix the bug that Watchout must have a network connection even when used as stand alone with timecode! It is a real pain...(and yes I know of the built in loop back...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 FYI, the need for having a switch attached also for single display use will be removed in the upcoming 5.1 release. I assume there was traffic talking to the display computer in question causing the problem you describe. Merely having traffic on the port shouldn't disrupt the presentation. But if there's data telling the display to do other things (such as an online production computer, or another cluster member), while attempting to run it from timecode, there will of course be a conflict, resulting in seemingly erratic behavior.

scott britt Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Good on the 5.1 release change.. No actually it didn't like that a Internet router was attached to download some media we needed...once the router was detached (and the router was set to work with IP range of network) all worked fine... The production software was not "online"...I do not recall if it was turned on...but I checked the Production PC first... Scott 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
