M757-1 Operating Juggler 2 Pixel Processor : User Guide © 2023 7thSense
Introduction
Introduction
Juggler® 2 is a highly configurable and powerful modular pixel processor, designed for and scalable
up to the demands of very largest venues. Multiple Juggler 2 units can be bussed together via a high-
speed box-to-box fibre-optic link to expand system requirements and with complete failover capability
almost without limit. The configuration of a particular Juggler 2 unit will optimise use of the available
bandwidth according to requirement.
Jugglers run the Compere® software to form integrated systems with Actor® media servers,
Conjurer® generative content servers, with ST 2110 transport over IP supported throughout. It is the
Compere software that creates integrated projects, manages all networking and external control.
For setting network connections, connecting and routing a fibre bus, and building project groups
of multiple devices, see the Compere User Guides on the
7thSense user portal .
