KEY FEATURES

Jupiter Soft  

Panels

Bas ic X Y & M uLt i - L e v eL X Y 

The Basic XY and Multi-Level XY soft 
panels are an attractive option to help 
meet your routing control workflow 
needs. 

Easy to Use

These soft panels offer separate 
destination and source sections. Each 
section allows you to view categories and 
entries and simply page to the additional 
selections in the system effectively and 
easily. The separate destination section 
offers status on up to 16 destinations at 
a time within a given category, and the 
source selection section offers you 20 
source selections at a time within a given 
category. 
Configuring the new soft panels is 
exactly the same as it is for the Jupiter

 

hardware panels. Assign the desired 
sources, destinations, and levels, then 
assign the panel to a controller.

Basic XY: Fast, Intuitive 

Operations

The Basic XY soft panel offers you a 
simple, easy, and effective way to control 
the routing environment. Switching 
destinations and sources is simple and 
efficient with separate sections of the 
soft panel used for each, and providing 
a single page view of entries for both. 
The destination side offers destination 
categories and selections within that 
category and shows the current status of 
each destination. The source side offers 
the source categories and selections 
within each category. 
Between the source and destination 
selection modules is the status section 
of the panel. Active destination, current 
source, and the preset source are 
displayed. 
If destinations are protected or locked, 
the source name will turn from green 
to magenta or red respectively, and the 
panel will display which panel owns the 
function when the cursor is hovered over 
the source name.

Multi-Level XY: Fast Intuitive 

Operations with Complete Control

The Multi-Level XY soft panel offers the 
ability to switch different sources to 
different levels on a given destination. 
The panel will show the status of the 
selected destination with the current 
source selected on each level configured 
for the destination. 
Multi-Level XY makes even the most 
complex breakaway switches easy to 
understand and execute. 
Multi-Level XY also offers the ability to 
use sequences (salvos) configured in 
the Jupiter system, and the option to 
configure sequences locally at the control 
panel. Local sequences can be created, 
executed, edited, and saved to increase 
workflow efficiency. 
If destinations are protected or locked, 
the source name will turn from green 
to magenta or red respectively, and the 
panel will display which panel owns the 
function when the cursor is hovered over 
the source name.
