Nov. 8, 2009 (Business Wire) -- InfoComm China 2009:

Jupiter Systems, the industry leader in display wall technology and an early investor in China, today announced the introduction of enhancements to its award winning PixelNet® distributed display wall system. These improvements include the PixelNet Audio output node, the PixelNet Quad SD video input node, full support of the 3G-SDI standard, a window borders and titles feature, integration of streaming video sources, and support for multiple walls – in multiple locations – from a single PixelNet domain.

“With the introduction of these new capabilities,” said John Stark, Director of Product Management and Technical Services at Jupiter. “Jupiter makes good on the promise of its PixelNet technology to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and seamless platform for AV control. The enhanced system offers all of the benefits of the PixelNet approach – scalability, flexibility, 24x7 reliability, and low cost of installation and maintenance – and it enables Jupiter to provide all the capabilities demanded by users in security, government, defense, transportation, utilities, corporate management, entertainment, healthcare, and education.”

PixelNet Audio Output Node

The new PixelNet Audio output node receives audio associated with video data captured at audio-capable PixelNet input nodes (the SDI and Analog HD input nodes) to one or more audio output nodes. Audio configurations are saved as part of PixelNet Domain Control layouts and are automatically recalled when the associated layout is selected. High-quality digital audio can be captured and transmitted end-to-end, including multi-channel encoded formats. Unlike other solutions, PixelNet users will be able to both see and hear a source, managing the two capabilities through a single drag-and-drop interface.

PixelNet Quad SD Input Node

The new PixelNet Quad-SD input node handles four composite video inputs or two S-video inputs, and can drive up to eight PixelNet windows simultaneously. With its low cost per port, the PixelNet Quad-SD node provides a solution that is ideal for many applications, especially video-intensive security monitoring.

Enhanced HD SDI Input Node With 3G-SDI Support

The HD SDI input node has been enhanced with full support of the 3G-SDI standard (SMPTE 424M) at 2.970 Gigabits per second. The extended bit rate can provide 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second.

Multiple Wall Support

With PixelNet, it is now possible to manage many displays in multiple locations, and to control them independently of each other.
