82 Chapter 5 Presentation
External Control Options You can use a touch panel, such as an iPhone/iPad, or other external control
system to remotely control your WATCHOUT presentation, as well as the
presentation environment. Since WATCHOUT uses the ubiquitous TCP/IP
protocol, it can communicate with virtually any computer system or device.

Furthermore, using the MIDI and DMX-512 input capabilities, WATCHOUT
can be controlled using any device that can speak those industry-standard
communications languages.
Personalized or Multi-lingual Audio For museums, visitor centers, and similar places where personalized or multi-
lingual audio is desired, you can use WATCHOUT together with Dataton
PICKUP. PICKUP plays the audio of the presentation, and acts as a remote
control for starting the presentation.

To integrate PICKUP with your WATCHOUT display clusters, use the Dataton
NETWORK TRANSPONDER, which connects to your Ethernet network. In
addition to acting as an IR transponder for PICKUP it also controls your
WATCHOUT presentations. It provides advanced features such as synchro-
nized audio playback. It can also match the language selection between
PICKUP and WATCHOUT by means of controlling the conditional layers in
WATCHOUT (see “Condition” on page 104).
