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 />
