System Requirements
The JetStream Mini is designed to be installed in a standard 19” equipment rack. It is two rack-units
high. The unit is convection-cooled without a fan, therefore it is suitable for mounting inside a
studio near operators and microphones. For best performance, leave at least one rack-unit empty
above the JetStream for proper cooling and design the rack to allow air to circulate.
System Architecture
Audio I/O cards plug into slots A-H on the JetStream. That audio is mixed on the JSM-DSP card
(labeled “Surface”) Consoles and utility panels connect directly to the JSM-DSP card via RS-485. All
audio mixing, equalization, and dynamics processing is done on the DSP card. Local audio from the
JetStream MINI is ready within two seconds of power-up.
The optional JetNet Audio Networking module is an embedded PC equipped with an Intel Atom
processor and 1GB of RAM with a server-class dual Gigabit Ethernet card. Audio from the I/O cards
is processed by the JSM-DSP card and streamed via USB 2.0 internally to the PC and sent to the
network.
The PC runs Windows Embedded Standard and has been optimized for audio networking. No
other applications should be installed on the PC.
JetNet networked audio is available within 90 to 120 seconds of power-up.
