Triggering Presets with a Single DMX Channel
Once you have set up your presets, you can trigger these with a single DMX channel from
a lighting controller. DMX decimal values 1-4 are designated as idle. So the formula for
determining a DMX value for a preset is the preset number + 4. For example, Preset 1 is
mapped to DMX value 5 and preset 200 is mapped to DMX value 205.
To trigger Catalyst with a single DMX channel, the DMX input section must be set to
DMX Trigger, patched to an appropriate DMX address.
Triggering Presets with Midi Show Control
Midi Show Control (MSC) is a System Exclusive subset of the Midi Specification.
A detailed description of Midi Show Control is beyond the scope of this manual. Detailed
descriptions of the Midi Show Control protocol are available from the Midi
Manufacturer’s Association (http://www.midi.org), or in John Huntington’s Control
Systems for Live Entertainment, Focal Press, ISBN 0240803485, published 2000.
