Jupiter Upgrades its Fusion 940 Display Wall Processor?; Enhanced Processor Offers More Memory, Video Processing, a New Removable Drive and More Video

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- Jupiter Systems, (INFOCOMM07, Booth #2426), the industry leader in Command and Control Visualization, today announced enhancements to its Jupiter Fusion 940 Display Wall Processor, offering more memory, video inputs and processing power and a removable hard disk.

The upgrade includes up to an optional 3GB memory (over a standard 1GB maximum), processing power of 3GHz (up from 2.4GHZ) and a removable SATA 150 80GB hard disk (instead of a fixed 20GB ATA hard drive). The enhanced processor also offers Jupiter's popular video processing add-in card, the Octal Video Board. For the Fusion 940, video inputs can increase from 12 to 44 with the addition of 4 Octal boards.

The Octal Video Card is designed to support applications where large numbers of video signals need to be shown on a display wall. With multiple cards installed in a Jupiter Fusion 940 display wall processor, over 32 video signals can be shown on the display wall simultaneously. This new capability provides the flexibility to attach all required video sources directly to the processor and eliminate the need for an external matrix switch, thus reducing cost and simplifying installation while improving user control.

The new Fusion 940, configured with multiple Octal Video Cards, is the perfect price performance solution for Intelligent Traffic, 911/Dispatch, Security and Surveillance, Public Utilities and Telecom installations that require monitoring numerous video sources simultaneously.

The Enhanced Jupiter Fusion 940 Display Wall Processor

The Jupiter Fusion 940? Display Wall Controller is capable of driving up to ten analog or digital projectors to a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels per projector. The robust processor offers flexible digital and analog input and output options housed in a compact 2U rack mount enclosure.

The Jupiter Fusion 940 comes standard with 12 composite video BNC and six S-Video mini-DIN inputs to the system. The integrated video matrix switch and analog video bus allows any video input channel to be directed to any output window, simplifying configuration. To accommodate larger configurations, optional Octal Video boards can be added to the system to provide up to 44 video inputs and the ability to display up to 34 video windows on a Fusion 940 system. Windows containing video inputs can be moved, scaled and minimized like any other application window, making the Fusion 940 highly flexible and easy to use. Multiple video windows can be placed on a single screen, providing display space for other applications.

Up to eight HD15 inputs can be added to display live RGB graphics images on the display wall from other computer sources such as laptops, desktop computers, workstations and legacy systems. RGB windows can be easily moved, resized and minimized like any other application window. RGB image quality is guaranteed with automatic software recognition of incoming RGB signals that correlate to existing VESA standard display formats.

Combined with powerful video and RGB input capabilities, the Jupiter Fusion 940 runs Microsoft's Windows XP Professional operating system, providing compatibility with the vast majority of Windows applications. Standard features include UNIX connectivity software to interface with UNIX and X Window-based computers, the ability to interface with touch panel devices from AMX and Crestron, and networking capabilities to access corporate network-based applications.

Standard ControlPoint? software, the focal point of Jupiter Fusion 940 activity, manages the placement and display of RGB, video and application windows. It monitors system status and provides open APIs plus serial and TCP/IP protocols to customize operations to meet speci
c customer needs. ControlPoint provides a consistent, intuitive GUI interface for creating RGB, video and application windows, interactively placing them on the desktop, and providing the ability to save and restore display wall layouts. ControlPoint also provides simultaneous multi-user interaction with the display wall over a network. Administrators can de
ne access rights on an individual or group basis. Included remote cursor software conveniently enables direct manipulation of display wall content over a network with the user's own keyboard and mouse.

The Fusion 940 can be con
gured with as many as five dual-channel graphics cards supporting up to ten display channels and, optionally, up to eight HD15 inputs for RGB graphics or up to 32 video processors on Octal video cards. Standard features include 12 composite BNC and six S-Video mini-DIN inputs, a single 250-watt power supply, and front accessible fan filters. The Jupiter Fusion 940 is shipped pre-configured with Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

Its CPU Board includes an Intel Pentium IV @ 3.0 GHz processor,

system memory of 1GB DDR PC2100 standard, 2GB and 3GB DDR PC2100 optional, and 5 expansion slots. Disk storage includes a standard removable 80GB SATA-150 hard drive and DVD-ROM with combo drive, 16x(DVD-ROM)/32x(CD-RW)/52x(CD read).
