Chapter 1 NTRODUCTION Catalyst XL is the workhorse of the Catalyst line, ideal for medium to large sized video wall installations such as control rooms, government command centers, surveillance rooms, and utility centers. The Catalyst XL delivers the best in class solution for essential and critical control rooms as it can display any amount or type of data required to enhance operations.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.2 Catalyst XL The Catalyst XL is comprised of two main components — the CPU Chassis and the Express Fabric Chassis (EFC). The Express Fabric Chassis houses input and output boards. The CPU Chassis controls the EFC and runs Canvas Client.
RAID & redundant power supplies 2.1 CPU Chassis The Catalyst XL CPU Chassis is a1RU, 19" XL system control chassis with capacity to control up to four Express Fabric chassis (Catalyst XLe) Figure 2.1: Catalyst XL CPU Chassis Front Panel...
The Catalyst XL Express Fabric Chassis is a resilient 4RU, 19" XL input/output expansion chassis with 10 PCIe slots and the ability to add 10 boards per XLe to the Catalyst XL system. At least one Catalyst XLe chassis is required for input/output.

Chapter 4 OARDS AND CCESSORIES Catalyst display processors capture, distribute, display, and control digital and analog video streams. Catalyst input boards capture a wide variety of source signals and output boards display them on a single display or display wall array. The Catalyst scaling and communications engine allows a single source to be replicated into 1,2 or 4 independently scaled windows, depending on the resolution and frame rate.

ARDWARE NSTALLATION The front panels of the Catalyst XL CPU Chassis and Express Fabric Chassis are shown in the figures below. The front panel power switch is a soft power switch, which leaves some standby power applied to the system.
Chapter 5: Hardware Installation Table 5.1: Catalyst XL CPU Chassis Front Buttons and LEDs Indicator or Button Description Pressing the Reset switch will cause the system to do a hard system reset. System reset Any data not saved will be lost. It is recommended that you not reset the system unless there is no other way to restart it.
Provide sufficient clearance behind the chassis to remove the 13 5/8” long power supplies. The Catalyst XL rack mounting kit is designed for a standard 19-inch rack with RapidRack rails with square 3/ 8” holes for the rack slides. Adapters for tapped rails are provided. Rear rack rails are required for supporting the rear of the chassis.
Chapter 5: Hardware Installation 5.2.2 Required Tools To install the Catalyst XL in the rack, you need the following tool: • Phillips head screwdriver CAUTION: For safety and protection of the equipment, it is recommended that two people lift and install the Catalyst chassis into the rack.
