Extend the possibilities of your media server and live content with our powerful pixel processing range.

Juggler is the highly modular hardware-based pixel processor range by 7thSense. Designed to simplify the management of multiple sources and outputs for complex high-resolution systems, multi-screen experiences, mega canvasses, and warped/blended projection displays.

7thSense’s Juggler® pixel processor range is designed to manage large canvas, multi-screen, and blended display systems. Typically, these applications require a high level of flexibility, signal density, and extremely low processing latency.

What inputs do you need to combine… and to what outputs?

The Juggler system maps the whole-site canvas, uniting, processing and placing all sources with all displays, expanding inputs and outputs as required.

THE JUGGLER ADVANTAGE

  • Juggler is not fixed to typical formats, bit-depths, and frame rates allowing to support the signal bandwidth you need to show your content without compromise.
  • In line with the 7thSense support of the highest-grade uncompressed content on our media server platforms, the Juggler products have the headroom and scalability to support incredibly large systems supporting UHD @ 60FPS 10-bit 4:4:4 signals, maintaining the quality of content from file to screen. As a flexible and customisable product line, Juggler supports input and output signals up to DCI 4K @ 60FPS 12-bit 4:4:4, or various other signals at 120FPS.
  • The Juggler 1 RU chassis has two card slots for a choice of DisplayPort, HDMI, or high-speed fibre-optic source linking (bussing). Additionally, Juggler 1 has a built-in HDMI input and output, plus SFP ports to support additional bus expansion or 12G SDI modules. While a single unit is quite powerful, the Juggler chassis can be linked using the high-speed fibre-optic source linking to build very large systems.
  • Juggler 2 has two ultra-high-speed slots for signal networks/bussing (25G+) or for ST 2110 and four high speed slots to support a variety of baseband signal interfaces, including DisplayPort, HDMI (coming soon), and 12G SDI (coming soon). Chassis linking supports incredibly large and complex systems, while still maintaining the quality from source to screen.
  • Daisy-chain units as required via its proprietary high-speed box-to-box fibre-optic link, to expand I/O type and capacity. 
  • Modular hardware for high bit-depth colour processing, warp and blend. This leaves media servers to run media shows as inputs among others, within a single overall canvas. 
  • Passive and active stereo 3D are fully supported.
  • Minimal latency, essential for live performance. Juggler genlocks all sources to same-frame accuracy, with instant system failover across all connected devices via IntelligentSource™ frame-data monitoring (API available for third-party sources).
  • Juggler’s node-based graphical user interface, Compere, can be used for complete system topology visualisation.
  • Live manipulation of windows is made possible through the Compere user interface or via touchscreen control when used in conjunction with Medialon Marquee.

The possibilities of Juggler are as wide as your imagination.

  • Configurability: multiple Juggler processors can be linked via high-speed box-to-box fibre-optic cables, to add additional input and output capability
  • Video Signals: up and down scaling, video matrixing, picture-in-picture, format conversion, framerate conversion, signal type conversion, and bit-depth conversion
  • Features ST 2110 input and output to support the latest in video signal distribution standards
  • DisplayPort™ 1.2, 12G SDI (coming soon) and HDMI® 2.0 (coming soon) baseband modules
  • Supports input and output bandwidth up to DCI 4K @ 60FPS 12-bit 4:4:4
  • Video signal type conversion between most digital input and output interfaces including baseband and ST 2110 (analogue video signals not supported)
  • Warp and Blend via 2D MPCDI file import
  • Colour space conversion
  • DisplayPort SST to MST conversion
  • External control over IP (TCP, UDP, Art-Net™)
  • User interface: 7thSense Compere
