Data bus
Each Juggler has four processing channels. By bussing Jugglers together, additional processing
channels can be added to the Juggler system. To bus Juggler modules together, use optical fibre
cables. Full 8-lane bandwidth MPO I/O ports (shown yellow) may be used, or 4-lane SFP modules
(shown magenta). See also Connect a Juggler Data Bus :
These are configured typically alongside 2 × DP or 2 × HDMI in the second interface.
Bus capacity
The bus configuration determines the capacity in terms of resolution and equivalent bandwidth. To
increase bandwidth, lanes 4 and 8 can share their capacity with lanes 1-3 and 5-7. Effectively this
becomes a 6-Lane ‘High Bandwidth’ bus, with lanes 4 and 8 unavailable to separate video channels.
Bits per Pixel determines capacity of your bus for your media requirement.
