comprehensive, multi-format solutions
for acquisition, production, storage, and
playback—and a strong foundation for
centralized, proactive status and activity
monitoring.
The new upgrades to the Jupiter
make moving forward in a scalable way
very easy. The new control panels can
be used with existing systems with the
familiar ease you expect from the Jupiter
line. Best yet, the new software contains
support for old and new systems.
A Scalable Control System that
Grows with Your Needs
The Jupiter system is an open, scalable
platform for full router and facility
control. Featuring tight integration with
automation systems, third-party routers,

At its most basic level, the Jupiter
system can configure the crosspoints
of a single routing matrix—and easily
expand that control up to multiple
matrices as large as 4096x4096. Users
can also add tally and machine control
via Ethernet or serial interfaces. A
selection of hardware and PC software
control panels that work across the
room or across the country via IP LAN/
WAN connections offers centralized or
distributed management of all devices
under Jupiter system control.
• Panels use a full color LCD display for
enhanced monitoring of the routing
system:
— Yellow for destinations
— Green for sources
— Amber for levels
— Magenta for protected status
— Red for locked status
• Can reside side-by-side with existing
systems:
— Insert in to existing Jupiter Plus or
Jupiter Express systems
— Grow current systems without
replacing all existing hardware
— Move to Ethernet control in a phased
manner

Robust Feature Set
The Jupiter system offers complete
configuration and robust control
capabilities. Up to 96 router (or matrix)
levels can be configured. It can also
set up tie-lines for transparent inter-
matrix operations, and support multiple
users with unique access privileges and
restrictions.
With software control panels, users can
control sources and destinations right
from their PCs.
Jupiter introduces the concept of areas
to routing, allowing identical names
to be assigned to different areas. This
simplifies name definition so that, for
example, a device named "VTR1" can
exist in a production area, while another
device named "VTR1" can exist in a
• Looks, feels, and functions in the
same Jupiter style:
— Same file server
— Same user interface (uses current
Jupiter configuration)
— Same core feature set (96 levels,
pathfinding, etc)
• Additional features only available with
Jupiter AccuSwitch (JUP-SW-4000)
— New Ethernet control panels (see
above)
— Zero downtime on control panel
configuration changes
— Data router pathfinding
