Catalyst

Catalyst is software that allows the lighting designer to transform and store moving and still images and then cue and play them out to video systems. Catalyst controls and manipulates video images through DMX to ensure perfect synchronisation between video and performance in live shows. Source images can be transformed in real time using a range of parameters such as shape, position, colour, intensity and speed. Catalyst plays back movies and displays images in visual layers. These layers can be mixed to create new images.
