PixelNet

Network Distributed Capture and Visualization

PixelNet® is a revolutionary new way to capture, distribute, control and display digital and analog video sources for audiovisual applications. Based on technology previously used for data communication networks, PixelNet adopts Gigabit Ethernet and Ethernet switches for use with high resolution, real-time video. Using packet-switching technology any information source can be shown on any display, as a window on a single display, or as a window spanning multiple display devices in a display wall. Any source can be shown at any size on any display or array of displays.

Flexible, SCALABLE, Powerful

PixelNet is all about scalability. The same component parts can scale from a single input distributed to a single output to literally hundreds of inputs and outputs. Outputs can be defined as a single display or logically grouped together to create one or more display walls. Need to add another input? Add another PixelNet input node. Expanding the display wall? Add PixelNet output nodes for the new displays.

• PixelNet input nodes are small, silent and use very little power.
• Input and output nodes are hot-pluggable and hotswappable, and since PixelNet is based on Ethernet technology, the entire system is inherently fault-tolerant.
• PixelNet makes creating complex topologies of inputs, outputs and switches simple, cost effective, and future proof.

All of this power and flexibility is managed by Jupiter’s PixelNet Domain Control software, which provides an intuitive, object-oriented, drag-and-drop interface to control and manage multiple inputs, outputs and display walls.

Applications that would traditionally require many separate vendors and a heterogeneous solution can be addressed with a single system of interconnected PixelNet nodes controlled through the PixelNet Domain Control software. Third party applications and control systems are supported with the included API and network control protocol.

PixelNet nodes can also integrate with Jupiter Fusion-based systems via PixelNet FusionLink.

Max Res input for PixelNet DVI-I nodes is 2048 x 1200. Some statements later in the manual, and the cut sheets  contradict this but 2048 x 1200 is Max.

Note: PixelNet ships with Windows 7.

	PixelNet now supports the following resolutions.   HD Input Node = up to 1920x1080i ( analogue) DVI-I Input Node = 2048x1200 and 165MHz pixel rate (note: progressive scan signals ONLY) 3G SDI Input Node = supports 3G (1920x1080p), HD-SDI and SDI   Output Node = 2048x1200 and 165MHz pixel rate, Digital and analogue signals HD Input nodes MUST be used with sources such as Blu-Ray who's outputs require HDCP. In these cases an analogue output from these types of devices is required because PixelNet does not support HDCP.
