WHAT’S WATCHOUT?
dataton WAtcHout is the leading multi-display production and playback software. use
WAtcHout to orchestrate images, video, lighting, 3d and interactivity into a single impressive show.
the essential components of a WAtcHout show are the software, media servers (such as
WAtcHPAX 40) and display devices (projectors, LEd displays, etc), running on a standard network.
In an operational setup, a WAtcHout license key is required for the production computer running
the show and each media server. All dataton-branded media servers, including the WAtcHPAX 40,
have the license key built in.
WAtcHout shows can be presented with multiple projectors for large, seamless images or used with
monitors, LEd walls or other creative screen arrangements. WAtcHout also has a strong set of pro-
jection and pixel-mapping features for applying content to complex three-dimensional objects.
