Buyer Guide

How to Choose a Video Wall Controller

Four questions point most projects to the right family. For a recommendation based on your own input counts, use the Selector Tool.
1

Where are your sources and displays?

One room or adjacent rooms: Catalyst or J-Series. Several rooms, floors or buildings sharing the same sources: PixelNet.
2

How sensitive is the content?

Classified or mission-critical imagery that must stay pixel-perfect and isolated: PixelNet, uncompressed on a closed network and JITC certified.
3

Do you need apps, web pages and IP cameras on the wall?

Dashboards, browsers and large numbers of camera streams next to direct inputs: Catalyst, with Windows 11 and hardware stream decoding.
4

Is latency or OS-free operation the priority?

Fast switching and hardware that runs for years without an operating system to patch: J-Series.

Buyer FAQ

Video Wall Controller Questions

Straight answers to the questions integrators and end users ask most when specifying a video wall processor.
What is a video wall controller?
A video wall controller (also called a video wall processor) is a hardware or software solution that manages how content is displayed across multiple screens in a video wall. Jupiter manufactures enterprise-grade video wall controllers including the Catalyst, J-Series, J4, and PixelNet, all Made in the USA at ISO-certified facilities in Hayward, California.
What is the difference between a video wall processor and a video wall controller?
The terms video wall processor and video wall controller are used interchangeably in the AV industry. Both refer to the device that manages input sources, arranges content layouts, and drives output to multiple displays in a video wall. Jupiter uses both terms for its product line, which includes the Catalyst, J-Series, J4, PixelNet, and Canvas software.
What video wall controllers does Jupiter offer?
Jupiter offers a full range of video wall controllers and processors: Catalyst (Windows 11-based, up to 156 4K inputs), J-Series (OS-free hardware controller with full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling), J4 (compact 4-output controller), PixelNet (JITC-certified distributed controller with zero compression), and StreamPoint (video encoder). Catalyst and PixelNet are managed through Jupiter's Canvas video wall management software.
Should I choose centralized or distributed video wall processing?
Centralized video wall processors such as Catalyst and J-Series keep all processing in one chassis close to the wall, which suits a single control room. Distributed processing with PixelNet places input and output nodes next to sources and displays on a closed Layer 2 network, so one system can run walls across a whole building, campus or several sites with uncompressed video.
Can a video wall processor display IP cameras?
Yes. Catalyst decodes up to 1,500+ H.264 IP streams directly, PixelNet adds a StreamCenter node that decodes streams from surveillance cameras and media servers, and StreamPoint 4K encoders bring remote sources onto any Jupiter wall over IP.
How do I choose the right video wall controller for my needs?
Choosing the right video wall controller depends on your environment: the Catalyst controller is ideal for IT-managed environments needing Windows 11 flexibility; the J-Series controller is best for high-security operations requiring no OS and full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling; the J4 controller suits small installations like meeting rooms; and PixelNet is designed for large-scale, multi-location deployments with zero-compression video distribution. Jupiter also offers TAA-compliant controller configurations for government and military use.
Are Jupiter video wall controllers made in the USA?
Yes, all Jupiter video wall controllers and processors are Made in the USA, manufactured at Jupiter's ISO-certified facilities in Hayward, California. Jupiter also offers TAA-compliant and JITC-certified video wall controller configurations for government and military procurement.
