Presentation
Manual Control
If you make changes to your show while online, you can transfer them to the
display computers using the “Update” command on the Stage menu. This
includes adding new media or cues, as well as making changes to existing
cues or other aspects of your presentation.
Once all media has been transferred to the display computers, the
WATCHOUT logo on the display computers will disappear. You are now
ready to run your presentation. To run it, click the play button in the lower left
corner of the Timeline window, or press the spacebar.
You can jump to any point along the timeline by clicking in the time ruler at the
top of the Timeline window. Alternatively, choose “Timeline Settings” on the
Timeline menu and type in the time to jump to.
For speaker support, or other manually controlled presentations, you can add
Pause cues to the timeline. When a pause cue is hit, WATCHOUT will stop
running, just as if you had stopped it manually. To resume the presentation,
press the spacebar again.
If you want to run your presentation from a distance, you can use a remote
control for your computer, such as the Keyspan Digital Media Remote:
