SOFTWARE

Dataton WATCHOUT combines multiple projectors, or other display devices, with standard computer and network technology to create breathtaking presentations of virtually any size. The production computer uses a familiar timeline interface to build the show. It then distributes the media files through the network to the display computers to run the show.

WATCHOUT utilizes the full resolution of all your projectors, monitors, video wall cubes or LEDs, resulting in unparallelled image quality. Arrange displays at any angle, shape or form. Overlapping projectors are automatically edge-blended. WATCHOUT accounts for the gap between displays and allows you to mix different pixel densities. The built-in mesh-warping geometry correction handles curved screens with ease.

Working with your current production tools, WATCHOUT reads most media file formats. Produce text and images in Photoshop. Create and edit video at any resolution in After Effects, Final Cut, or similar software. Mix multiple stereo or surround-sound audio files. WATCHOUT brings it all together, adding realtime effects such as motion paths, opacity, scaling, rotation, colorization, cropping and volume.

Integrate video fed live from a video camera. WATCHOUT accepts anything from composite and S-Video to 720 and 1080 HiDef using SDI inputs, all with the lowest possible latency. Likewise, you can bring a live PowerPoint presentation, or other computer feed, straight into your wide-screen presentation.

Being a great team-player, WATCHOUT connects to touch panels such as Dataton TOUCHDOWN, and other control systems, using TCP/IP, SMPTE timecode or serial data connections. Use multiple display clusters at museums or other venues where independent display areas are needed. Built-in remote management functions let you interact with all computers from one location.

The Dataton PICKUP audio guide adds personalized audio playback to your WATCHOUT presentation. Perfect for use at museums and other locations where individual, wireless or multi-lingual audio is required. PICKUP provides high quality, audio playback for audio-guide applications, while also taking a cue from WATCHOUT for synchronized sound.

	3154	WATCHOUT 3 STARTER KIT
The starter kit consists of four WATCHOUT 3 licenses, the printed manual and the latest software on CD. Great value for money, the kit is ideal for beginners making their first three screen show, or for regular users looking to extend existing systems. You need one license key for each WATCHOUT display computer and one license key for the WATCHOUT production computer. To run WATCHOUT in demo-mode only (without display computers), there is no need for license keys.

	3152	WATCHOUT 3 UPGRADE
License key update from WATCHOUT version 1 or 2 to version 3 To upgrade your license key(s), first make sure they all appear in the License Key Manager in WATCHOUT (accessed through the File menu). If you have additional license keys, connect those to your computer and click the "Scan License Keys" button to add them to the list. Once all license keys to be upgraded appear in the list, click the "Copy All as Text" button to copy the license key information to the clipboard. Log in on the LOGIN page and select the upgrade (article number 3152) from the PRODUCTS list. The price per upgrade is shown here. When you reach the "Approve Order" page in the order process, paste the license key info into the license key text field. The text should resemble the example below which shows a single license key. ######### DATATON WATCHOUT LICENSES # 1 ######### +++++++++++++++++++ 4-653954 +++++++++++++++++++ BFC183060C183064C89123428400FA77EEDDBB59B265CA952 B56AC5BB66DDAB56BD6AD5AB469D5BE7DFAF5EAD5AB57AE5D BA75EAD5AB57AF5FBE7DFBF7EFD8A44992254890214284091 224489350 ------------------- 4-653954 ------------------- NOTE: On some systems, the text may not appear when you attempt to paste it. If you run into this problem, first upgrade your WATCHOUT software and then copy the license key information from the new WATCHOUT version, which corrects this problem. Assuming that you install the new version in the same location as the old, all license key information collected should remain available. Once your order has been processed, you will receive an email with your upgrade information. Then select all text in the email containing your upgrade information and paste it into the "License Key Manager" window. The new license information will appear in the "Pending" column. Connect the license keys to the computer and click "Scan License Keys" to transfer the pending information into the license keys. When successfully stored in the license key, the information is transferred from the Pending column to the Version column. Upgraded license keys can be used with both the old and the new version of WATCHOUT.
