Configuring the Catalyst Software
The following steps give you a basic default startup configuration for the Catalyst Pro 8-
layer software version. Your version may have fewer layers or fewer outputs, but the
general steps are the same for all Media Server Software.
Choose Output Options
Catalyst Pro Media Servers can display independent views of the Layer content on each
output. Catalyst DV and Xpress software versions have single output capability and the
monitor emulates what is being projected from the output device.
To configure Dual Outputs:
1. Locate the Output 1 panel in
the Catalyst Control Window.
Click the top field in of the
Output 1 panel as shown to
pop up a menu.
2. Highlight Mixed All Layers
with FX and click to select.
3. Locate the Output 2 panel in
the Catalyst Control Window
and select Separate Outputs
with FX.
Set DMX Start Channels for Layers
To assign a DMX start channel to a Media Server layer:
1. Scroll down the Catalyst Control Window until the first DMX In panel is visible.
2. Turn on the DMX In panel by clicking the On button on the left side of the panel. The
center circle and outside edge of the button turn yellow.
3. Select a layer or serial device for that DMX In panel.
