PRESENTATION<br />

This chapter tells you how to take your <strong>WATCHOUT</strong> presentation from your<br />

production computer onto the display computers, and run the presentation. It<br />

discusses the various ways in which your presentation can be used and<br />

controlled.<br />

Connecting to the<br />

Display Computers<br />

Stop icon indicates a problem<br />

connecting to the display computer.<br />

After installing and configuring the production and display computers,<br />

producing the presentation, and starting the display software on each display<br />

computer, you can select “Online” on the Stage menu. This causes the production<br />

computer to connect to the display computers and transfer all required<br />

information to them, ready for playback.<br />

Failure to connect to a display computer is indicated by a stop sign in the Stage<br />

window.<br />

If you get a stop sign, quit the <strong>WATCHOUT</strong> display software on the offending<br />

display computer and double-check the network configuration to ensure that it<br />

has been set up properly (see “Network Hook-up” on page 24 as well respective<br />

network configurations on page 31 and page 33). Also confirm that the IP<br />

address of the display computer matches the settings in the Display Specifications<br />

dialog box (see “Display Specifications” on page 134).<br />

Any further problems encountered after connecting to the display computers<br />

will be reported in the Message window in <strong>WATCHOUT</strong> and/or on the display<br />

computer.<br />
