Chapter 1 Introduction 9

The production computer talks to the display computers through the network,

transferring media files for you as required, as well as controlling the playback

of the show. It can also be used for audio playback while running the show.

Display Computers

You need one display computer for each display device, or group of display

devices, used in your presentation (projector, monitor, etc). Display computers

handle all the hard work associated with rendering still images and video.

They also apply edge blends and can play sound files.

The fact that the system can use multiple display computers means it is scalable

to virtually any size; as more displays are added, you can also add more

computing power to drive these displays. A display computer may drive up to

six displays, depending on hardware and performance requirements.

Network

The network ties the parts together, allowing the production computer to

manage all display computers. The network is created by connecting the

computers to a common hub or switch (not shown in the overview illustration).

As you add new media to your presentation, or revise existing media, these

changes are automatically propagated, via the network, to the appropriate

display computers. The network also transfers your display configurations,

timeline programming and other aspects of your presentation to the display

computer. With all this material residing on the display computers, very little

information needs to be sent over the network during playback, avoiding

network congestion.

Display Devices

WATCHOUT can be used with virtually any display device that can be

connected to a computer, such as projectors, LCD and plasma displays. See

“Display Issues” on page 239 for more details.
