Up to four expansion chassis can be added for additional outputs.

Other features of the Jupiter Catalyst 4K include:

  • Support for decoding up to 28 4K or 56 HD sources (H.264 and H.265);
  • Six-Core Xeon E5 CPU;
  • Six PCI Express 3.0 slots;
  • Expansion Chassis include seven PCI Express 2.0 slots.

"With an install base in the tens of thousands, the Catalyst display wall processor family continues to drive new standards for processor performance and reliability," said Brady O. Bruce, InFocus CMO, in a prepared statement. "Today, we are again exceeding customer expectations by introducing Ultra High Definition support with the same cost/performance focus that has made Catalyst the market leader for display wall processing."
