Based on Adobe Flash technology, Watchout Systems Manager allows users to create interactive front ends for their Watchout-driven systems and presentations. It includes two ready-to-run applications for remote control and scheduling of shows, and also features an Application Programming Interface (API) and a Communications Library so that users can create their own applications.
Michael Engström, director of sales at Dataton, comments, "Remote control and scheduling are invaluable aids in larger, more complex multimedia installations. The remote-control application within Watchout Systems Manager gives users remote access to many key aspects of a show, while the monitor application lets you keep track of a number of Watchout display systems, build programmes from one or more shows, and schedule them by dragging them into a weekly calendar. Best of all, both applications come with full source code - so people can use them as starting points for their own applications."
