Just Add Power to Launch Just OS Firmware
Ecosystem at CEDIA 2018
New Every Switch Supported Allows Integrators to
Build Any Size 4K Matrix on an Existing Network Without Upgrading the Network Switch
LARGO,
Fla. — Aug. 30, 2018 — Just Add Power (J+P), a leader in Ultra HD over IP video
distribution, will demonstrate its new Just OS firmware ecosystem at CEDIA 2018,
Sept. 6-8, at the San Diego Convention Center in Booth 5344. Just OS was
developed with the REST API, the prevailing standard in IoT solution design,
ensuring a future-proof platform that can communicate with intelligent technologies
on the horizon. The ecosystem comprises J+P’s Plug-Play-Present (PPP) logic control, the Switch Please web
application, and the latest switching innovation from the company, Every Switch
Supported (ESS).
The
new ESS firmware solves the installation hurdle of building complex 4K video
matrixes on an unsegregated network. Using ESS, integrators can now build any
size of matrix on the existing network without upgrading the switches to
accommodate the additional use of network resources. As a result, integrators
can better manage the build time and costs of projects with 4K HDMI
distribution requirements. The advanced solution is the result of more than 10
years of research and innovation from the engineers at J+P.
“As a
manufacturer of network appliances, it is a natural evolution for us to work
hand-in-hand with smart appliances and platforms, and embrace the potential
that new web technologies bring to the table,” said Taft Stricklin, sales team
manager for J+P. “With Just OS, users can now easily interact with modern web
technologies in ways not possible a few years ago. With the new REST API,
developing native web applications for a J+P system is now easier than with any
AV over IP system in the world.”
The new Just OS ecosystem also
supports J+P’s PPP logic control, which enables intuitive and reliable
connection and switching of sources. Users simply connect any source to any
HDMI or VGA transmitter, and the transmitter does all the work. The device
allows integrators to create a scene based on video being present. It can power
devices on and off and communicate with network devices. The transmitter can
send CEC, IR, IP, or RS-232 commands to a single screen, multiple screens, or
the network switch with simple conditional statements to make control possible
without the additional expense of an outboard control system.
Just
OS also drives J+P’s Switch Please web application, which allows matrix
switching of any J+P device from any web browser and is optimized for both
desktop or mobile device access. The system eases setup by dynamically
generating control options based on the switch configuration of the
installation. Once installed, Switch Please gives installers and end-users the
ability to use the Image Pull feature for live video preview, custom name
sources and displays, and show/hide displays and sources on the app interface.
Part
of J+P’s evolutionary product philosophy, Just OS is free to download and works
on all 2G and 3G products, continuing to add value to systems even years after
their initial installation.

About Just Add Power
Just Add Power (J+P) was founded in 1992 by a
group of former employees from the IBM Corporation. The motivation behind the
company and the name was to come to the market with applications that totally
support customers and their investment and are easy to use. With the 2009
introduction of the HDIP™ solution for distributing HDMI® over IP
networks, the company has become well-known across many new markets.
The J+P design and manufacturing philosophy is
evolutionary, not revolutionary. For example, customers who invested in the
company’s solution in 2009 can still purchase new transmitters and receivers
today to expand and maintain their system. J+P takes pride in having created an
infrastructure that can be sustained and manufactured reliably for many years,
making improvements through free firmware updates. When the company adds
features that can’t be done through firmware alone, it builds new hardware with
an eye toward backwards compatibility. The J+P evolutionary product design
philosophy ensures the protection of its customers’ investment and increases
system value over time.
