The Jupiter is a 3 band digital processor with 30
pre-programmed equalization curves. It is extremely user-friendly, allowing even
inexperienced technicians to make sound changes. The Jupiter is directly controllable
through the front panel settings or by PC using the serial ports and control software that
is supplied as standard. The Jupiter features two independent serial ports uncoupled by
opto-isolators. This assures maximum immunity from other equipment noise. Standard is a
digital stereo generator MPX. Digital input and digital RDS encoding are optional.
Jupiter’s digital input (optional) can be
connected in two ways: through a balanced XLR connector or a standard fiber optic
connector. This input supports AES3/EBU, S/PDIF, IEC60958, EIAJCP1201 protocols with
32KHz, 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 96KHz sample rate. The digital input does not require any special
setting since the Jupiter can recognize the injected digital signal and configure it
automatically.
The MPX (composite) stereo generator inside the
Jupiter is completely digital, so the MPX signal is obtained through DSP technology. Nicom
offers radio stations a top digital technology solution by integrating a digital stereo
generator into the audio processor instead of the widely used analog ones. The stereo
generator inside the unit increases its performance by directly processing the digital
signal and ensuring perfect modulation control, while an external analog stereo generator,
inserted in the chain, would adversely affect the original sound signal. The top
performance of the stereo generator inside the Jupiter makes it one of the best on the
market at this time.
The Jupiter features a digital RDS modulator, as an
option, which ensures very high performance--especially compared to analog RDS generators
now available on the market. The available services are listed in the technical
specifications. Nicom offers the Jupiter, presenting to radio stations an all digital
audio chain and the purity of digital sound.
