6.5

6.6

WO-2712

The display software menu does not always appear when remote accessing a WATCHPAX 60 that is only running SDI outputs. To resolve this, close down and reactivate remote access.

6.5

 

WO-2511

There is up to one frame latency between SDI and DisplayPort outputs, with SDI outputs being behind. Latency is dependent on the show refresh rate and whether external synchronization is used or not.

6.5

 

WS-98

Setting a fixed IP through the WATCHOUT startup script can cause NDI streams to stop working on display computers.

WO-2708

Audio may have up to +100ms latency compared to video.

6.5

 

WO-2636
