Catalyst XL is the new, flagship display wall processor from Jupiter, providing the fastest bandwidth on the market to power enormous display wall configurations.
Catalyst XL utilizes the latest PCIe technology to capture and display video sources with resolutions up to 8K. Ultra-fast bandwidth on each board increases the density of processing power, reducing the number of input/output boards and the overall hardware footprint. Catalyst XL offers DVI, HDMI, SDI and DP capture board options. State of the art hardware and software is capable of ingesting resolutions up to 8K60, custom resolutions, 8/10 bit, HDCP content and RGB 4:4:4 color subsampling. Each port can function autonomously with the ability to transfer, crop, scale or zoom to accommodate any type of solution.
For over 35 years, Jupiter Systems has been designing and manufacturing display wall processors, leveraging cutting edge technology to create hardware for the most demanding display wall installationsNext generation DMA technology, called DirectGMA, enables high speed data transfer from the capture board to one or more GPU boards. The GPU board is specifically designed to drive an arbitrary number of displays while maintaining frame synchronization across multiple boards, for bigger, more complex configurations.
Catalyst XL is built on Windows 10, a specialized version of Windows 10 that offers the best of a Windows environment, including comprehensive security, while eliminating challenges associated with automatic updates. Windows 10 and Canvas continue to support Workgroup or Domain configurations to ensure flexible deployments—whether they are standalone video walls or connected to the corporate network.
Jupiter's display wall management software, Canvas, can be deployed in two different ways. Canvas Standalone provides an object-based, easy to use interface. Objects such as DVI, RGB, HD, and video inputs, streaming video inputs, web browsers, image viewers, and local and remote application windows can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the display wall. Jupiter has a long history of providing industry leading hardware for mission critical 24/7 control rooms. Canvas can easily be upgraded to the enterprise version through a new software license and does not require any additional hardware. Canvas Enterprise enables video, data, applications, and more to be shared with colleagues anywhere, on any device, delivering end-to-end collaboration. Users can share streams and collaborate from anywhere in the network: at the main display wall, on PCs, and on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.Canvas brings a rich set of familiar tools for collaboration and allows annotation directly on live video streams. Object-level security allows managers to create discrete management and access permissions for wall segments, layouts, inputs, applications, and remote cursor control. User activity and event logging allow thorough forensic analysis.
