Overview
Jupiter
- An Innovative and Unique Approach to DSP
- Turn-key Designs Cover a Wide Range of Applications
- 85 Downloadable Apps
- Near Zero Programming Time for Rapid Deployment
Innovative and Unique. Jupiter packages powerful DSP into a zero learning curve, turn-key family of audio processors. Standing on the shoulders of Symetrix’ world-class open architecture DSP platforms, Jupiter upholds our commitment to pristine sound.
3 Audio Input/Output Configurations. Jupiter 4 (4 in, 4 out), Jupiter 8 (8 in, 8 out), and Jupiter 12 (12 in, 4 out).
High Feature to Cost Ratio. Near zero programming time slashes installation costs.
85 Turn-key Apps. Categories include mixing and routing, public address / distribution, sound reinforcement, special purpose DSP. Signal routings, whether simple or complex, are fully tested and ready to go right out of the box.
Control Made Easy. Multiple control options include low-cost Symetrix ARC wall panels and an easy to generate SymVue Windows virtual GUI. The human readable Composer Control Protocol supports programming of third-party touch screens and control devices.
An Embedded Web Server for Even More Control. Jupiter’s embedded web server hosts ARC-WEB – a browser-based interface for smart phones, tablets, and computers.
Incredible Sound. An abundance of DSP resources power apps that are packed with features like dynamics, EQ, FIR filters, feedback fighters, loudspeaker management, automixing, and matrixing.
Help is built in. The software connection wizard provides fast and easy IP linking to the DSP hardware.
