One thing important to keep in mind is that the Watchout and Arena are marketed to different segments and it's a lot easier to sell Watchout to a medium to large corporate client (at least in the US) because it costs more to implement! I know a few of us here in the US that use Arena regularly very succesfuly for large shows where failure is not an option so at the end of the day it's really a matter of preference! On the other end, Arena allows for way more creativity that Watchout and has amazing 2D mapping capabilities. As far as I'm concerned, the main advantages of Watchout would be that it's timeline based, can handle UV mapping and that you can expand a system by adding more display computers but considering you can create massive installations with Arena if you plan it right that rarely gets to be the deciding factor for me. We have both Dataton Watchout and Resolume Arena available to deploy but I personally use Arena 95% of the time because of the software flexibility and ease of installation. I don't know that Watchout is necessarily more hardware failsafe considering you end up with many computers which introduces more hardware to go wrong but I think people typically spend more time and effort building the right servers for Watchout. Pls see my project have just done a few weeks ago with the resolution 28K x 1080 and combine 14 projectors with Resolume: Resolume out capabilities depend the performance of your GPU, the resolution also same. For Ex if you have 1 output 4K, in Watchout you only use and adjust grid on this output but with Resolume output 4K you can make 4 slides FullHD and combine with Datapath FX4 you will have 4 output FullHD independence. Watchout have output not like Resolume, each output is output, you cannot create slides on this output. I am also newbie in this forum, learn from Oaktown and some expert guys a lot.Īs I knew and have some experience on Resolume: I was wondering why? If someone could let me know why it is the case? Is it because Watchout is much more hardware failsafe or people dont know much about Resolume outout capabilities? When i read the posts, I see a lot of resolume used with Datapath or Matrox, but back here in India for corporate gigs, Everyone uses watchout and resolume on top of that. Users like Oaktown have been doing a world of good on these forums by replying to most of the queries by various users. I have been following this forum for quite sometime now and I have bought Resolume Arena throught the Black Friday Sale.
