 Control Center 

The Catalyst

™

 Control Center is a graphical user application providing 

access to the display features contained within the installed ATI hardware 

and software. Use the Catalyst

™

 Control Center to fine-tune your graphics 

settings, enable or disable connected display devices, and change the 
orientation of your desktop. Many of the features show you a preview of 
the changes before they are applied. 

The Catalyst

™

 Control Center offers you two views of the software: 

• Basic View is a simplified view that includes wizards to get the 

inexperience user up and running. 

• Advance View allows the advanced user to access and configure 

the complete feature set of the software.

The Catalyst

™

 Control Center can be customized for easy access to the 

features you use most.

Use the Catalyst

™

 Control Center to access a comprehensive online help 

system, or connect to the ATI Web site.
