Datapath, the Derby, U.K.-based provider of control technologies for multi-display videowalls of any scale, will display a range of innovative control room solutions at ISE 2024.
In the face of the increasing number of control room challenges, Datapath says it has increased both its hardware and software portfolio for its Aetria solution, an integrated platform for control rooms of any size.
Visitors to Datapath’s booth #3R100 at ISE will get a first look at Aetria Touch, a dedicated tablet device that provides finger-tip control of videowalls and workstations. They will also get to see the VSNMini 300 — a modern personal videowall controller with slick, compact aesthetics on the outside; and all the critical components and heavyweight processing power expected in mission-critical environments on the inside.
Per a statement, Aetria Touch is Datapath’s dedicated touchpanel for Aetria installations. The 10.1-inch tablet will be available for customers in Q2. Pre-packaged with Basic mode, users will be able to open pre-set layouts on videowalls. Meanwhile, customers who upgrade their environment to Advanced mode will encompass a full touch-based user interface. This allows greater control with features such as source drag and drop, layout and template design, scaling of content windows and videowall zoom capability.

VSNMini 300 Debuts at ISE 2024
An addition to Datapath’s VSN processor range, the VSNMini 300 will get its first public showing at ISE 2024, the company says. The personal videowall controller, with a slick form factor, is 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 provides the modern aesthetics with industrial grade components that customers require.

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.
Mathew Tibbit, product manager for Datapath, says, “We have used our decades of experience in videowall controllers to create a product that is at ease in a wide spectrum of applications. Whether its managing video sources in a control room, or multi-signage corporate or public venue messaging, the VSNMini300 is designed to handle its requirements with ease while being a physically unobtrusive component to any AV system.”
Available now, Datapath has also added the Aligo TX100, a single 4K/quad HD transmitter, to its Aligo range, that is scalable to any requirement. The Aligo TX100 also accepts a single 4K input or four independent HD inputs.
Visitors to Datapath’s ISE 2024 booth 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 states that its multinational and multilingual team will be on-hand to discuss any aspect of these latest innovations and how they can assist in the design and operation of the next control room project.
For free registration to ISE 2024 in Barcelona, attendees can use the Datapath code: 1LOFQNEL.
