The first of the emerging IP-based solutions to achieve the lossless ambition Just Add Power’s 2G devices have been redesigned from the ground up. Crucially under the bonnet is a custom proprietary processor and video compression engine packing some serious power. 

The 2G processor is a silicon-on-chip (SOC) design built with several unique and patented features, at its heart is the British designed ARM9 CPU with a maximum running frequency of 275MHz.  The CPU core includes 16KB I-cache, 16KB D-Cache, a Memory Management Unit (MMU), and two AHB system buses.  The same ARM9 family of processors has been embraced by hundreds of prominent companies including NVIDIA, Panasonic and Apple.

The 2G units work on a 1000BT Gigabit network platform.  This 1000% increase in specified network speed provides the necessary bandwidth to implement a proprietary lossless 1080p content CODEC. The end result is the ability to replicate stunning 1080p video that cannot be distinguished from the source content, allowing Custom Installers to satisfy the video quality demands of the most demanding clients.

Unlike competing HD/IP solutions, Just Add Power’s trump card for the Custom Installer is add a Managed Network Switch and a flexible; virtual, ‘any-size’ matrix can be created – providing dropout-free, instant source switching and impeccable picture quality.

Initially the 2G Just Add Power HDMI over IP devices will be offered in the same 4 form factors as the 1G family (Standard Transmitter, Rackmount 3X Transmitter, Standard Receiver, and PoE Receiver).  Pricing details for the 2G solution will be publicly released early June prior to the official product launch demonstration at the CEDIA Home Technology Event in London 15th -17th June.
