About the JMP 9600
The JMP 9600 Media Player (see figure 1 , on the next page) is a high quality video and
audio playback device that provides one or two video playback channels. It meets the
most demanding 3D and stereoscopic applications as well as more traditional single
display requirements. Depending on the model, the player supports video playback of the
JPEG 2000 (2k) and high definition (HD) standards. SSD models use solid state memory
rather than magnetic hard drives, but are otherwise identical.
The JMP 9600 also provides 16 channels of uncompressed digital audio in the Audio
Engineering Society (AES)/European Broadcasting Union (EBU) standard, commonly called
AES3, on BNC connectors.
The JMP 9600 plays visually lossless Digital Cinema Package (DCP) files. These files include
video, audio, and other data elements that are encoded to the Digital Cinema Initiatives
(DCI) specification. DCI is a standard architecture for digital cinema systems.
The JMP 9600 also features a built-in, full color video LCD display that serves as the interface
for local control and also functions as a local “confidence” monitor for video output during
playback. The LCD can show the graphical user interface (GUI), the video playback display, or
both simultaneously (see
figure 2 , on the next page). You can control the amount of both
video streams (the “alpha blend”) displayed in the LCD.
