address is “192.168.0.51”, you would put “192.168.0.” into the “Display
Address Prefix” field in Preferences (note the trailing period), and then put
51 into the Address field in “Display Specifications”.
Output. Selects the output number of the graphics card to which the display
is connected. This allows you to drive multiple displays from one computer by
entering the same Address but different Output numbers.
Peer and Test Connection. Indicates the on-line status of the associated
display computer. You can use the “Test Connection” button to verify the ability
to connect to that particular display computer. This can be useful when trouble-
shooting a system.
Color and Change. Allows you to change the color of the display’s outline
in the Status window.
Display Resolution. Physical resolution used by the display computer for
the signal fed to its projector or other display device. WATCHOUT allows you
to specify any resolution. However, the allowable settings are ultimately deter-
mined by the display device and graphics card.
▲ IMPORTANT: When using multiple outputs from a single display computer,
all outputs must use the same resolution.
Stage Position and Size. Determines the position and dimension of the
display in the Stage Window. Normally, the dimension here matches the phys-
ical resolution of the display. You can override this by deselecting “Width and
Height same as Display Resolution”, allowing you to enter different values.
Doing so will make WATCHOUT scale the image to match the resolution.
◆ HINT: This is particularly useful if you have to play a show made for a
specific resolution on projectors that can’t handle that resolution.
