MultiStar RIP Multiplexers
Innovative MultiStar RIP (raster image processor) multiplexers are Agfa's solution to the high level of RIP performance needed for intensive production environments. Each MultiStar contains a two-channel RIP multiplexer and can house one to two Emerald-based Star hardware RIPs in one enclosure. Alternatively, users can combine Agfa hardware and software RIPs for maximum performance and flexibility.

A MultiStar-based system can dramatically improve the performance of your Agfa imagesetter and RIP by doubling your processing capabilities and eliminating the RIP bottleneck.


Features:

  • Combines two RIPs--either hardware or software--you can mix and match RIP technology as you choose.

  • Increased processing capacity will often achieve the full-rated engine speed of your imagesetter.

  • 2-channel multiplexer maximizes storage with two file buffer disks, one for each channel.

  • Seamless integration with all Star series hardware RIPs, and Viper, Cobra and Taipan software RIPs.

  • Supports Agfa CristalRaster Screening, Agfa Balanced Screening and Adobe Accurate Screens.

  • Compatible with Agfa's AccuSet, SelectSet, and SelectSet Avantra imagesetters.


Configurations:

  • Standard MultiStar configuration consists of the 2-channel multiplexer, two 1 GB hard disks and an enclosure.

  • MultiStar 800NX combines a multiplexer and a Star 800 NX RIP, featuring a powerful R4600 133 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM and a 1GB hard drive.

  • MultiStar 400 combines a multiplexer and a Star 400 RIP, featuring an R3500 66 MHz CPU, 32 MB RAM and a 1GB hard drive.
