Purpose-built for display walls
Advanced Capture
Latest PCIe technology captures video up to 8K60, custom resolutions, 8/10 bit, HDCP content and RGB 4:4:4. IP, HDMI, SDI and DP capture options. Extend source reach with StreamPoint IP encoders.
Windows 11 IoT LTSC
Longest support lifecycle with comprehensive security. No automatic updates. Supports Workgroup or Domain configurations for flexible deployments.
Purpose-Built Hardware
40+ years of engineering. DirectGMA enables high-speed data transfer from capture to GPU. Frame synchronization across multiple boards for complex configurations.
Canvas Enabled
Canvas provides web-based drag and drop wall management. User authentication, permission-based access, and collaboration tools from inside or outside the control room.
Massive Scalability
More 4K IP and direct inputs, more memory, and more power for unparalleled video wall processor bandwidth. Supports up to 156 4K direct inputs or 1,500+ streams.
24/7 Reliability
No OS layer viruses or compatibility issues. Purpose-built boards engineered for continuous operation. SNMP monitoring for swift issue resolution.
Architecture of a Catalyst Installation
A typical Catalyst deployment connects multiple source types, including HDMI, SDI, DisplayPort, IP cameras, and VNC workstations, to one or more Catalyst processors driving the display wall. Canvas software provides centralized management, letting operators arrange, resize, and share content from any connected device.
