7.    Controlling external show control devices from Catalyst

 

Towards the bottom of the catalyst control window there are three user interfaces representing external show control devices. If any of these are connected to the computer that catalyst is run on they can be controlled from catalyst by adding buttons from the user interface representations to the cue list.

 

Go to the windows menu to open catalyst control.

 

Scroll down the catalyst control window to the representation of the show control device that you have connected to your computer.

 

Midi show control devices.

 

Video deck control protocol.

 

Other devices that can be controlled using serial ports.

 

Drag and drop any of the buttons on these show control devices to your cue list. In this way commands to external show control devices can be integrated with catalyst cues in the cue list.
