10.4.3 Refreshing Catalyst Previews
Catalyst media server content may change during the programming of your show. For
example, the video clip file used in the opening scene might have been changed on the
Catalyst media server. The console is not automatically made aware of these content
changes and so it is necessary to request new preview thumbnails from the Catalyst media
server. Follow these steps to update the previews on the console:.
1. Open the patch window
2. Select the fixture(s) you wish to refresh the media
3. Press the "refresh media" button at the top of the patch window. A green and white
animated refresh icon will appear at the top right of the media picker window to the right
of the search field. The media refresh is finished when the icon disappears.
10.4.4 Disabling Catalyst Preview Fetching on Processors
By default Catalyst thumbnail preview fetching is enabled on all processors in new shows. To
disable Catalyst thumbnail preview fetching on a processor:
1. Open the node settings window for the processor
2. Select the Catalyst tab of the node setting window
3. Deselect the enable button and hit apply
10.5 Adding Previews to Pre-v2.0 Show Files
Hog 4 OS and Hog 3 OS show files built with fixture library v4.7 and older will not display
library based preview thumbnails in the media picker until the fixtures in the show file are
updated using the follow steps:
1. Open the patch window
2. Select the fixture(s) you wish to update with library based preview thumbnails
3. Press the "refresh media" button at the top of the patch window
