Latest Control Room Developments Drive Datapath Debuts at ISE

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, world-leading engineers of visual solutions, continues its mission to revolutionize control rooms with a range of innovative product debuts at ISE2024.

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.

Further benefitting a seamless Control Room operator experience, visitors to Datapath’s 3R100 booth will get a first look at Aetria Touch, a dedicated tablet device that provides finger-tip control of video walls and workstations, along with the VSNMini 300 - a modern personal video wall 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 is Datapath’s dedicated touch panel for Aetria installations. The 10.1-inch tablet will be available for customers from Q2, with two distinct user modes of operation. Pre-packaged with Basic mode, users will be able to open pre-set layouts on video walls, 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 and template design, scaling of content windows and video wall zoom capability.

An addition to Datapath’s award-winning VSN processor range, the VSNMini 300 gets its first public showing at ISE 2024. The dedicated personal video wall controller is poised to be available in coming weeks and, 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 Video Wall controller/Workstation within an Aetria environment or as a standalone video wall 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, adds:

“We have used our decades of experience in video wall 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 award winning Aligo range. Scalable to any requirement. the Aligo TX100 accepts a single 4K input or four independent HD inputs. 

Visitors to Datapath’s ISE 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’s 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 your next control room project.
