New to the DL series

Hi -

I am looking into purchasing a used DL1 for an upcoming production.

I understand that the DL1 does not contain any media server capabilities, but is more of a projector on a moving yoke. I'm specifically interested in projecting a masked video of a characters face, with keystone correction, onto a set piece.

Is the Catalyst software still available, to drive the DL1? What about driving the DL1 from QLab?

Any pointers, suggestions, or advice would be much appreciated!! :1zhelp:

    I appreciate your help Michael!

    I understand that Catalyst used a dongle for authentication - because of this if I find a used Catalyst server for example on gearsource.com - will I be able to legitimately use the software and receive technical support?

    Are there any lower cost alternatives to the current Axon product, that HES offers or recommends?

    Regarding the DL1/2/3 - how is masking dealt with? ie. when black or 100% transparency is in a portion of an image, is light still output from the fixture for that portion?

    Last, will HES offer any training courses in the next few months specifically for the DL series?
