Dataton at ISE 2023

ISE 2023 Barcelona: At booth 3N650, Dataton highlighted WATCHOUT and WATCHPAX 62 media servers… and gave a visitors the first glimpse of an upcoming major release of WATCHOUT!

The features previewed at ISE include a powerful new video and audio engine, HDR playback, color space management and a remote-content collaboration platform for a shared, streamlined workflow. The booth featured demo stations for both the current version of WATCHOUT and the upcoming version. The eye-catching HDR 10 content on the ROE Visual LED display (48 x Ruby 2.3 panels) was powered by the upcoming version of WATCHOUT. Elsewhere on the booth, WATCHOUT was shown in a curved screen demo with VIOSO auto alignment, running on Barco projectors.

Speaking before the show opened, Dataton CEO Lars Sandlund said: “Every show is a product of teamwork. The new asset manager in WATCHOUT will mean creative teams and show programmers can work together more efficiently. Assets created offsite by the design studio can be uploaded and dropped straight into a show by the onsite crew, saving time and effort during the critical production phase. What’s more, the software will seamlessly optimize incoming assets, if necessary, to ensure best performance in the show.”

The new version is scheduled for a September release — the same month Dataton celebrates its 50th anniversary serving the AV industry!
