Changing the Face of Lighting and Video - Forever

The entire future of automated lighting and, the application of high powered video projection, has moved a giant step forward with the announcement of High End System's new product, Catalyst.

Developed for HES by Wynne Wilson Gottelier, Catalyst has already captured the imagination of those who have seen the alpha system at recent trade shows. When mounted on the front of a video projector, such as the Barco ELM R12, a 12,000 ANSI lumens output, triple DMD machine, Catalyst allows an image to be moved smoothly and positioned accurately, time after time, within a global envelope. As it is video based, Catalyst also allows truly unlimited colour mixing, plus a selection of masks that act as framing shutters, or as overlays on video clips. The system is delivered with hundreds of gobo patterns, that can again be overlaid, including the entire DHA and High End image libraries. All of these facilities are accessible from any DMX desk, such as the industry benchmark board, Wholehog 2.

The package, which consists of the dynamic hardware, a control rack, DMX system control software, and video processing software, that enables image manipulation never before possible on a lighting fixture, is to be marketed by High End Systems to rental companies, who are already own suitable DLP projectors, as an add-on. Aside from Barco, these could include models from Christie Digital Systems, Digital Projection, NEC, Panasonic and others.
