Hello everybody,

I have recently equiped a museum in which we used an alcorn V16 showcontrol. This might have been a bit of a overkill because we are using like 2% if the capacity of the showcontrol. The show control is controlling some mechanical movements and also the two media players each with a 1080i uncompressed movie. Just one of the movies has sound.
What we did there must be possible with Catalyst. We might need to compress the video for us to be able to use two layers with two 1080i movies?
Another is external triggering. The show must start with the push of a button.
What's the best way to do this?
Is it possible for the Catalyst to recieve rs 232 commands?
Would it be better to use a mac Pro for running the movies and a mac mini for the showcontrol part?

Thanks
