Showpros Ups the WOW Factor with WATCHOUT 5!

After a great event it’s so exciting to me when someone from the audience exclaims, “How did they DO that!?” It could of been lights, video or sound or special effect — like our Digital Podium. More often than not though it’s because we use WATCHOUT, the Dataton multi-display system for orchestrating amazing projection and sound.

This month we upgraded to the just unveiled  WATCHOUT 5, their biggest upgrade yet, and now we’re saying, “WOW!” I won’t bore you with all the technical jargon but at our next big event we’ll be projecting to eight (8) high-def screens in three different spaces at the conference venue from only two computers, plus doing multi-screen large image special effects as well. It is going to be a blast!
