Using Multiple Video Inputs WATCHOUT supports up to eight video input devices. The number of video
inputs that can be displayed simultaneously depends on your computer hard-
ware, type of video input device, etc.
Most video input devices have multiple connectors – often for different kinds of
video signals (for example, Composite and S-Video). You specify which one to
use in the Live Video media dialog box. Add more Live Video media objects to
access different inputs on the same device. Generally, you can only display

same input device. You need to leave a couple of seconds between the end of
the cue displaying one input and the beginning of the cue displaying the other.

server software on the WATCHOUT production computer.
