Jupiter Visual Status Display
Status View of Complete Routing System

The Grass Valley® Jupiter™ Control System is a flexible, configurable system management platform. Offering router and VTR control, master control and production switcher interfacing, and support for automation systems, it handles everything from small studios or dubbing operations to large broadcast centers and major production facilities. The Jupiter Visual Status Display (VSD) is a comprehensive status tool that gives users an easy-to-understand status view of their routing system. The Jupiter VSD can run on any PC connected locally, or over LAN or WAN, as long as it has access to the routing network through a LAN gateway. It allows users to create custom views, which can be saved, recalled, renamed, or deleted for complete customization. The familiar Jupiter status color coding is continued here and adheres to the workflow of the Jupiter hardware and software control panels.
