KEY FEATURES
Jupiter Control
Panel LD4
FULL-FUNCTION X-Y PANEL
The LD4 router control panel is a feature-
rich, full-function panel supporting
multi-destination functionality. This panel
is ideal for an operation position requiring
control of a number of destinations and
the speed and flexibility of category
entry.
Straightforward and Logical X-Y
Entry for Error-Free Control of
Multiple Destinations
The LD4 panel supports X-Y source
and destination entry using its numeric
keypad-style button layout. This is a
familiar layout for operators. Changing
destinations is quick and easy by
pressing the destinations command
button and choosing the desired
destination. Category entry simplifies
typing while a scroll function using up/
down buttons allows you to browse
through the available options. Once
a destination has been assigned to
a display window it can be rapidly
accessed again for rerouting. Selecting a
source is elegant and efficient by using
either the category entry buttons or
the sources command button and then
choosing the desired destination.
High-Resolution Display with
Color Coding for Razor-Sharp
Operation
The LD4 panel has color-coded
illuminated buttons and three color-
coded high-resolution displays. Any
source or destination can use up to eight
characters, which is an ideal balance
between giving enough information while
being able to quickly scan the display. The
display shows the selected destination
in yellow and its current source in
green, and while making a selection
it also displays the preset source. The
display also conveys various status
information, keeping you fully informed.
If a destination is locked or protected,
the source name will change to red or
magenta, respectively, and the display
can even indicate which panel owns the
lock or protect function.
Ethernet or Serial Connection to
Adapt to your System Demands
This panel connects via either Ethernet
or RS-422 serial links without the need to
purchase additional options.
Shallow Form Factor
Desk mounting with the SXY panel could
not be simpler. With their shallow 38 mm
(1.5 in.) profile they take up less space,
or little more space, than the thickness of
the desktop.
AC or DC Operation
This panel can be run from mains AC
power or optionally from DC power. This
can be useful for systems where space is
a premium.
