What's New In Dataton WATCHOUT 7.8

2nd October 2026

We are bringing the next generation of media playback to your projects with Dataton WATCHOUT 7. This release completely redefines scalability by moving away from traditional per-output pricing and shifting entirely to a total hardware canvas model.

A single WATCHOUT 7 license unlocks a massive cap of 70,778,880 pixels per media server. Because there are no restrictions on the number of display outputs you can divide the maximum pixel count in to, you have complete creative freedom to distribute those pixels however your hardware allows.

To put that pixel powerhouse into perspective, a single license can drive:

• 8 separate DCI 4K screens (4096 × 2160)

• 8 independent UHD 4K displays (3840 × 2160)

• 32 distinct Full HD feeds (1920 × 1080)

Whether you are designing expansive, high-density LED walls or complex projection mapping arrays, this model eliminates the need to buy extra software keys just to activate more physical plugs. You get maximum commercial efficiency out of a single server, significantly lowering your overall production and deployment overhead.

From high-profile live events to permanent installations, DVS and Dataton are here to help you achieve massive visual impact with an incredibly lean infrastructure.
