a few hours ago i bought a small Midi Controll Pad "Akai MPK mini"

I want to use it for controlling the Auxillary Timelines.

I create a new Input "Midi Controller or Midi Notes" advice the

Channel 1
Controller 1

7 bit and activate the LEARN Function.

Anyway i cant get Midi controll - Value is 0000 nothing hapens.

I have already checked the Midi Setup in the Controller Setup but i cant find a solution.

Does anyone know this problem?!

Searching the internet I found discussions about eyefinity setups which cause this artifact.

"The problem is all about timing between the converters, while using a mixture of inputs and monitors have different timings for each."
"The problem stems from using more than 1 type of connector for your monitors."

In our situation we used one straight DVI connection for the primary monitor and a displayport to DVI adapter for the secondary monitor. While playing the video full screen on the secondary output i saw the screen tearing artifact.
Connecting both monitors with a displayport to dvi adapter solved the problem.

Just wondering how Watchout handles timings of the multiple outputs and if anyone saw this artifact while using Watchout with eyefinity cards as well?

Kind regards,

If yes, how to configure this?]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 10:09:49 +0000 http://dataton.com/forum/topic/457-decklink-hd-extreme-3d/ http://dataton.com/forum/topic/456-display-cluster-issues/
I've been reading through the user guide and am going crazy trying to find the solution for this problem. I normally work with lights so
the world of media servers is a little new to me. Basically, I have to watch out computers with two movies, one which is looping and the
other has to be triggered at a particular spot in the first movie. I've been trying to use the string output with tcp but not having any luck,
hopefully i've just missed something.

Computer 1: 2.0.0.2
Computer 2: 2.0.0.12

Trigger output is 2.0.0.12, ip port number 3039, protocol TCP. Is this correct?
The trigger control cue is named Countdown Start and has the data to send "run" (without "")

I'd really need some help here!

Thanks!]]> Sun, 06 May 2012 07:39:08 +0000 http://dataton.com/forum/topic/454-will-intensity-pro-card-capture-audio/ http://dataton.com/forum/topic/451-timecode-chase/ I am using version 4.22.
I am feeding non drop LTC into the production computer.
When I use Dataton TC Tester utility, it tracks the source accurately. I can play back a TC segment, pause the source and the TC player and the TC tester utility match up.
When I open a Watchout show, enable TC control and create a TC status window, the TC status window tracks accurately.
However, the actual show timeline does not track accurately.
When I stop the TC source deck, the values of the 'paused' timeline do not match the value of the TC status window.

For example, if I pause the TC playback deck after 27 minutes, the difference is over 2 seconds.
Is this a 29.97 vs 30 fps, or a drop/nondrop issue? I have the display framerate set at 60fps at this time.

Thank you,
