Download Getting Started with Catalyst V4 Software

Navigating Catalyst Version 4.0 Interface
When you first start up the catalyst software you will see windows that look similar to
Catalyst V3.3. There is a Catalyst control window where you can change your output
configuration, Set DMX Start for content layers, live feed in boxes, and other control panels.
You'll also see the Output 1 and 2 windows. Catalyst V4 provides output preview functionality
in the full screen mode instead of using the Output windows.
The layer configuration that was part of the Layer Configuration panel in the Catalyst Control
window is now included as a HUD screen for each layer to allow maximum flexibility for
viewing output. Output configurations (layer combinations with or without effects) that were
selected in the output panel of the Catalyst control window are now integrated into the layer
editing panel.
Output 1 can be previewed on you main monitor and Output 2 on a secondary monitor.
Catalyst V4 software features standalone operation in full-screen mode with full preview. The
new graphical user interface controls:
• Full Layer editing
• Multiple on-screen patchable mixes that can be sized, moved and locked into position
• Live Color and Visual effects preview
