The Jr's Concept
The Weather Star Jr. was based on Wegener's Series 2450 graphics display platform. This embedded system utilized a TMS34010 graphics processor running at 40 MHz with customized firmware written for The Weather Channel. The Weather Star Jr. is used in smaller cable headends, where a WeatherStar 4000, WeatherStar XL, or IntelliStar were cost-prohibitive.

Famous quotes containing the word concept:
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
