Configuring the Catalyst Software
The following steps give you a basic default startup configuration for the Catalyst Pro 6-
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 software has single output capability and the monitor emulates what
is being projected from the output device.
To configue 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. Highlight Mixed
All Layers with FX and
click to select.
2. 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.
