CM 4000 Connection to Distribution Switchers
Although the CM 4000 supports both the JupiterXPress and AccuSwitch applications, only one of these applications can be
downloaded and executed in a single CM 4000 at one time.
JupiterXPress provides a limited set of Jupiter switching and machine control functions using the CM 4000 as
the interface between Grass Valley Crosspoint Bus routers and the devices on page 1−27. This software cannot
be installed on systems containing VM 3000 or SI 3000 processors.
The AccuSwitch product, when connected to and operated by a suitable automation system, allows determinis-
tic switching of a Crosspoint Bus router, with each switch guaranteed to occur one frame after receipt of the
automation system switch command; and, allows a sustained switching rate of up to 200 physical crosspoint
switches per frame. AccuSwitch installation and configuration is described in Appendix G.
