Dataton debuts at ISE 2015 the most powerful version in Watchout's fifteen-year history

Among the advantages that Dataton has introduced in the new version 6, rated as the most important in the history of this platform, highlights the possibility of importing 3D models directly into Watchout, with advanced projection mapping for pixel-precise content mapping.

Watchout, the well-known solution for multi-screen and multi-projector control developed fifteen years ago by Dataton, has a new version, the sixth since it appeared on the market, that the company has presented for the first time these days in WHEREAS 2015 (stand 11-F80).

Dataton Software Manager, Mike Fahl, He pointed out at the event that “this is the most important update in the fifteen years of history of the platform.”, with powerful new features to show creators that it delivers the strong performance they've come to expect from Watchout.”.

As news, Watchout 6 provides advanced projection mapping, Preview and playback video from multiple uncompressed sources and new media, with a simpler workflow, as well as 3D modeling features that can be imported directly into this platform.

Using 3D models to simulate entire presentations, in terms of environment and visualization, from any angle using multiple cameras is another advantage of this version.

New 3D projection feature simplifies programming, with precise alignment of complex 3D geometries, so any number of virtual projectors can be placed around a 3D object on the screen and corrected to create the perfect projection setup.

Watchout pixel-level mapping 6 allows you to handle all shapes and map LED modules of any output size to visualize the result in the Stage Window.

Plus a radically revamped user interface, facilitating its use even in conditions without light common in most backstage at shows, another of the contributions of the version 6 is marker-based calibration, in order to make the screen configuration as precise as possible with a real-world object, calculating all parameters automatically. Dataton predicts that Watchout 6 It will be available on the market next spring..

Another attraction that professionals can see at the Dataton stand is a mapping made with Digital Projection, conceived by Polish producers Moov.
