INTRODUCTION TO WATCHPAX 64

WATCHPAX 64 is a dedicated media server for use with Dataton WATCHOUT. Each unit has a built-in WATCHOUT license and a strong standard specification. In addition, the WATCHPAX 64 offers configuration options on three slots for ST2110, SDI, HDMI, as well as optional sync and SSD size on order.

The WATCHPAX 64 gives you all the advantages of Dataton’s range of dedicated locked-down media servers with the benefits of a configurable unit. Designed to make your WATCHOUT shows shine, the WATCHPAX 64 is a stylish and robust aluminium unit manufactured to a high quality specification.

MEDIA SERVER OPERATING SYSTEM

The operating system in WATCHPAX 64 has been optimized and licensed for this specific media server configuration.

NOTE: Do not install or attempt to install any software on the locked-down media server (such as drivers, software updates, security updates, virus protection, etc). Doing so will automatically void the unit’s warranty.

For better security, media servers are recommended to be installed and operate on a separate network, without access to other networks.

CONNECTORS

WP64 WP64 >IMPORTANT: Do not connect a network from your switch, router or network jack to either of the RJ45 ports on the sync card (no. 14 & 15 in the picture above), as these ports are reserved for sync data only. The sync card will not operate if a network is connected to any of those ports.
