Datapath, the Derby, U.K.-based, provider of visual solutions, continues its mission to revolutionize control rooms with a range of U.S. debuts at InfoComm 2024. In the face of the increasing number of control room challenges, Datapath has increased both its hardware and software portfolio for its Aetria solution, an integrated platform for control rooms of any size.
Datapath with showcase its latest advances to its application programming interface (API), making Aetria more compatible with third-party hardware than ever before, says the company. The latest modules include compatibility with Crestron and Q-SYS products, making it easy to adopt into legacy systems or as a first step to a fully updated control room solution.
Further benefitting a seamless Control Room operator experience, visitors to Datapath’s W2117 booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center will get a first look at Aetria Touch, a dedicated tablet device that provides finger-tip control of videowalls and workstations, along with the VSNMini 300 — a modern personal videowall controller with slick, compact aesthetics on the outside, but with all the critical components and heavyweight processing power expected in mission-critical environments on the inside.
Aetria Touch
Aetria Touch is Datapath’s dedicated touch panel for Aetria installations. The 10.1-inch tablet is available now, with two distinct user modes of operation. Pre-packaged with Basic mode, users will be able to open pre-set layouts on videowalls, whilst customers upgrading their environment to Advanced mode will encompass a full touch-based user interface, allowing greater control with features such as source drag and drop, layout design, scaling of content windows and videowall zoom capability.
VSNMini 300 Debut at InfoComm
An addition to Datapath’s VSN processor range, the VSNMini 300 gets its first U.S. showing at InfoComm. The dedicated personal videowall controller is available now, designed to be inconspicuous and space conscious for the modern operator workstation environment.
For use either as a personal videowall controller/workstation within an Aetria environment or as a standalone videowall controller for small installations, the VSNMini 300 supports the latest standards including 12th Generation Intel Processors (i9, i7, i5) and NVMe (M.2) SSD storage for maximum performance. Graphics and capture capabilities are provided via three PCIe slots that can be configured as required with Datapath’s Image graphics, Vision capture, and ActiveSQX IP decode/encode cards.
Aligo TX100
Datapath has also added the Aligo TX100, a single 4K/quad HD transmitter, to its Aligo range. Scalable to any requirement, the Aligo TX100 accepts a single 4K input or four independent HD inputs.
Visitors to Datapath’s booth in Las Vegas can witness a replicated Control Room in action, showing how the TX100 complements the existing Aligo RX100 single receiver and provides cost-effective and convenient HD support. Improving KVM ability, multi-head Groups are now supported in Aetria Workstation for Aligo devices. This enables the ability to display singular or multi-headed group sources on Aetria Workstation with full keyboard and mouse control.
Datapath’s U.S. and international management teams will be on-hand to discuss any aspect of these latest innovations and how they can assist in the design and operation of your next control room project.
