How to switch different WATCHOUT versions on my WATCHPAX media servers?

When your server boots with WATCHOUT 7, you can do the switch from WATCHOUT 7.1.2 (or higher version) Producer:

- go into DEVICE window 
- from a list choose your WATCHPAX 
- go into DEVICE properties 
- scroll down 
- choose "Switch to WATCHOUT 6" 
- confirm with OK in the pop-up window 

This will cause WATCHPAX to reboot and then it starts WATCHOUT 6.  

If you want to switch from WATCHOUT 6 into WATCHOUT 7 you can do this from WATCHOUT 6.7.3 or higher Production Computer or locally from WATCHPAX media server.

 From WATCHOUT 6 production computer: 
- Choose one of the displays from WATCHPAX media server 
- Go into Stage Menu/Manage Display Computer/Remote Access 
- Go into File Menu 
- Choose Restart in WATCHOUT 7 

 Locally from WATCHPAX media server: 
- Connect keyboard and mouse to the WATCHPAX unit 
- Power the server on 
- When you see WATCHOUT 6 splash screen press CTRL+W 
- Go into File Menu 
- Choose Restart in WATCHOUT 7 

This will cause WATCHPAX unit to reboot and then it starts WATCHOUT 7.
