Datapath has launched Aligo Workstation, a purpose-built interface designed to give operators real-time control of sources using Datapath’s AV-over-IP (AVoIP) and KVM platform, Aligo. According to Datapath, it has been introduced as part of an update to the Aetria ecosystem, delivering a flexible, scalable, and future-ready solution for modern control rooms. Operating via a dedicated on-screen menu accessed via the Aligo receiver, Aligo Workstation combines real-time responsiveness with intuitive multi-screen KVM control, and offers customers more options when creating their control room solutions.
“Aligo Workstation provides our customers with a streamlined, easy-to-use, hardware-based system which complements our software-based Aetria Workstation perfectly,” says Matthew Tibbitt, senior product manager, Datapath. “It is fast, secure, and allows operators to view, and seamlessly control all required sources. Delivering sub-millisecond latency, users are ensured real time video and highly responsive keyboard and mouse control, enabling them to respond swiftly to emerging incidents. The interoperability of Aetria Workstation and Aligo Workstation gives the flexibility to mix and match solutions based on project requirements and budget, ensuring operators have the features and capabilities they need.”
With built-in OneControl technology, users can switch keyboard and mouse focus across multiple screens by moving the cursor, eliminating the need for hotkeys, toggles, or additional hardware. In addition to support for HD and 4K monitors with 16:9 aspect ratios, the Aligo AVoIP solution has been enhanced to support a range of ultrawide and super ultrawide monitors, offering greater display flexibility.
Operators can open any source on screen using Aligo Workstation, while multi-source layouts can be saved, recalled with ease, and assigned to keyboard shortcuts for ultra-fast switching. Layouts can also be pushed to other workstations within the Aetria ecosystem, where permissions allow.
Aligo Workstation integrates fully with Aetria’s User Rights Management, providing fine-grained, permission-based access to sources and video walls. It connects only to sources within the control room, operating via direct hardware access with no operating system, ensuring simplicity, security and faster operator response, the company says.
