Jupiter Fusion 970 Features

Built for maximum dependability and flexibility, the Fusion 970 includes the following features:

High Reliability

Jupiter’s Fusion 970 includes many purpose-built features that maximize its reliability and make servicing simple.  Included with the system are four hot-swappable power supplies running in an N+1 configuration.  To cool the system, three fans and three blowers are in individual hot-swappable canisters, virtually guaranteeing no loss of cooling in the system due to fan failure.  All Jupiter Fusion 970 graphics cards and RGB input cards are hot swappable, minimizing (MTTR) and maximizing (MTBF).  All hot-swap components are accessible from the front of the unit while in a rack enclosure, and only require a small screwdriver to remove and replace. All wiring is connected on the rear of the chassis and remains undisturbed in the rack enclosure.

Video Inputs

The Jupiter Fusion 970 comes standard with 32 composite inputs and 16 S-Video inputs into the system. The integrated matrix switch allows any input channel to be directed to any output window, simplifying configuration. Windows containing video inputs can be moved, scaled, and iconified like any other application window, making the Fusion 970 highly flexible and easy to use.

RGB Inputs

Up to four 4-port HD15 RGB input cards can be added to display images on the display wall from other computer sources such as laptops, non-networked desktop computers, and legacy systems. RGB windows can be easily moved, resized, and treated like any other application window.

Flexible Interface

Combined with powerful video and RGB input capabilities, the Jupiter Fusion 970 runs Microsoft’s Windows 2000 operating system, providing compatibility with the vast majority of Windows applications. Standard features include UNIX connectivity software to interface with UNIX and X Windows-based computers, the ability to interface with touch-panel devices from AMX and Creston, and networking capabilities to access corporate network-based applications.

ControlPoint™ software, the nexus of Jupiter Fusion 970 activity, manages the placement and display of RGB and video windows, monitors system status, and provides open APIs and serial and TCP/IP protocols to customize operations to meet specific customer needs. ControlPoint provides a consistent, intuitive GUI interface for creating RGB and video windows, interactively placing them on the desktop, and saving and restoring window layouts. The software also provides simultaneous multi-user interaction with the display wall over a network. Administrators can define access rights on an individual or group basis.  Included RemoteCursor™ software enables direct manipulation of display wall content over a network, conveniently, with the user’s own keyboard and mouse.

Fusion 970 Configurations

The Fusion 970 comes with seven Compact PCI slots supporting single-, dual-, or  quad-channel PCI boards for peripheral devices. The CompactPCI bus can be extended to an additional two expansion chassis, providing a possible 19 CompactPCI slots for up to 52 output devices. Standard features include 32 composite and 16 S-Video inputs on each chassis. A 36GB SCSI hard drive is standard. Optional second 36GB SCA drive added for drive redundancy or additional capacity. The Fusion 970 is shipped pre-configured with Microsoft Windows 2000.
