Jupiter Systems Launches Pana Collab Line With 92-Inch 21:9 Ultrawide Touch Display Built for All-in-One Meeting Room Collaboration
The Pana 92CT extends Jupiter's 5K ultrawide format to more room sizes with integrated Android, touch, and wireless sharing.

- Jupiter has been in the ultrawide display space for years. What is Jupiter Systems launching, and how does it fit into the company's existing line?
- Jupiter Systems launched Pana Collab, a new product line within its 21:9 ultrawide display family. The first model is the Pana 92CT, a 92-inch interactive touch display. Jupiter introduced the 21:9, 5K ultrawide category for commercial AV with its 105-inch and 81-inch Pana displays in 2022, then added the premium Pana X line in 2024. Pana Collab is designed to extend the same panoramic format to a wider range of room sizes and budgets.
- What is included with the Pana 92CT, and are there any additional hardware or software requirements needed to run it?
- The Pana 92CT runs on a built-in Android 13 system and is designed to operate as a standalone, all-in-one unit without an external PC. It includes wireless screen sharing, an integrated whiteboard application, and an automatic wake-up feature. Front-accessible ports include USB-C, USB 3.0, HDMI 2.1, and touch USB. Side-accessible ports include DisplayPort 1.4 and additional HDMI connections, along with a slot for Jupiter's optional OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) PC module for organizations that need a full desktop computing environment integrated into the unit. Two stylus pens ship with every unit for annotation and drawing. The display does not ship with a mount, so installers need to select and budget for mounting hardware separately.
- What are the display's core specifications, and what installation environments is it designed for?
- The Pana 92CT carries a native 5K resolution across its 92-inch, 21:9 canvas and a typical brightness of 700 cd/m² (nits). Jupiter positions the display for meeting rooms, classrooms, and corporate collaboration spaces, with particular emphasis on modern offices with floor-to-ceiling windows where ambient light is a recurring challenge. The touch system uses high-precision infrared sensing with zero-bonding technology, supporting more than 20 simultaneous touch points for annotation over any wireless or wired video source.
- How does the 92-inch, 21:9 canvas translate to physical room dimensions?
- At 92 inches diagonal in a 21:9 aspect ratio, the Pana 92CT measures roughly 7 feet wide by 3 feet tall. That width sits between a standard 16:9 85-inch display (about 74 inches wide) and a 110-inch 16:9 panel (about 96 inches wide), but the panoramic format spreads that real estate horizontally rather than vertically. For a meeting room, that means a wide collaborative canvas without the ceiling-height demands of a taller 16:9 screen at the same diagonal.
- Why is now the time for a product like this?
- Charles Montoya, Senior Director of Enterprise Displays at Jupiter, said the Pana Collab line is aimed at closing the gap created by meeting rooms that now carry more content, more remote participants, and less tolerance for complex setups. Dr. Dimitris Katsis, Director of Display Engineering at Jupiter, described the Pana Collab series as designed to serve as the workhorse of modern Unified Communications (UC) office and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments.
The Take
What should integrators ask Jupiter about the Pana 92CT before specifying it for a UC room?
The Pana 92CT is wide enough to display two full-resolution content streams side by side, which is exactly what makes 21:9 useful for collaboration. At roughly 7 feet wide, the display fits comfortably on a 10-foot wall, but the panoramic canvas only pays off if the content sources, conferencing platform, and room layout are aligned to use it.
A few questions worth putting to Jupiter before the spec sheet becomes a purchase order: How does the Android 13 system handle Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms natively: does it run a certified Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms application, or does it operate as a BYOD display that mirrors a connected device running those platforms? Certification status matters for enterprise IT departments that manage meeting room fleets centrally. Second, integrators should confirm the 700-nit typical brightness holds uniformly across the full 21:9 surface, since an ultrawide display, by definition, invites more off-axis viewing. Third, the OPS slot is a meaningful option for rooms that need a managed Windows environment; its availability and configuration are worth confirming with Jupiter early in a project, since that determines whether the all-in-one pitch holds for IT-managed fleets.
The all-in-one design adds convenience. Android 13 with built-in wireless sharing, whiteboard, and front-accessible ports reduces the cable-and-box count in a room. For integrators specifying rooms where simplicity of operation is the primary success criterion, that matters.
