Dataton Watchout V6
Produce & Present
WATCHOUT is by far the easiest, fastest and most reliable way to create spectacular presentations. From the smallest conference gig all the way to mapping the most famous buildings in the world, WATCHOUT’s got you covered with over 15 years of unrivalled performance and reliability.
You’ll get it in no time. WATCHOUT is similar to many video editing and compositing programs. Drag stills, audio and video clips onto the timeline. Fly content across any number of displays. Apply effects and transitions.
Use any number of displays, edge-blended projectors or LED walls, arranged at any angle and in any shape or size. It’s all orchestrated by WATCHOUT so there’s no thinking about individual computers or juggling files. Ultimate creative freedom.
The new 3D Projector feature literally adds a whole new dimension. While WATCHOUT traditionally manages flat or curved image surfaces, 3D Projector enables pixel-accurate projection onto complex 3D geometry.
– Map content onto mesh-based 3D geometry
– Position projectors and media assets in 3D space
– Powerful pre-visualization from multiple angles
– Industry standard 3D, video and image file formats
– Stereoscopic video and 3D positioning of content
– Multiple timelines for unpredictable live shows
– External inputs and triggers for full interactivity
– Live video, network streams, Powerpoint
– Dynamic feeds based on live data sources
– Social media integration (e.g. Twitter, Instagram)
