High End Intros Catalyst DV v.1.0 Media Server
June 14, 2004
Austin, TX - High End Systems offers two media server products, the Catalyst Pro and Catalyst DV, for live presentation, video playback and multimedia entertainment applications.
The Catalyst DV v.1.0 Media Server and software offers three crossfadable video layers and one output, along with RS-232 and RS-422 serial control capabilities over a multitude of video switchers and playback devices.
Catalyst DV v.1.0 Media Server gives the user the ability to apply more than 80 visual and color effects to digital media. It can be used with the HES DL1 Digital Light fixture or any other video output device. The real-time rendering capability translates to zero downtime for modifying content. All software packages are based on some of the fastest Apple Power Mac processing and video card technologies needed to make them fly. Any effect may be instantly applied to a QuickTime movie or still image.
Instant access to more than 64,000 file locations means there's no waiting for forwarding or rewinding to a piece of content. Loading content on to a Catalyst Media Server is as easy as “dragging and dropping” the file into the library system. DMX control of digital media and video allows the user to tie lighting and video cues to one control desk for unified control of lighting and video.
By accessing moving light images and features, projecting video content or creating “virtual scenery,” the user has unlimited lighting control, props, backdrops and signage. Combining Catalyst software with DL1, LED displays, plasma monitors, and large- and small-format LCD and DLP projectors creates a dynamic presentation.
