Datapath has added functionality to its Aetria solution, including support for video walls via its Aligo receivers, automatic VSN processor switchover failsafe and graphics support via the Aetria Workstation. Aetria is Datapath’s solution for multipoint video management and control, and it now supports video walls driven directly by its Aligo receivers. These receivers are installed directly behind the video wall, with each receiver driving a single 4K screen or four HD screens.

With Aligo walls, content is displayed on a source-per-screen basis and controlled using Aetria Command Center or Aetria Workstation in the same way as video walls driven by VSN controllers. This allows a combination of VSN and Aligo sources while giving an AV-over-IP solution KVM capability. Datapath says this setup allows the user to now access VSN sources further away without the need for third-party signal extension products.

Support for Datapath VSN video wall controllers ensures video walls remain operational in a power, network or component failure. If a VSN is unreachable on the network, loses power or a capture or graphics card becomes unresponsive, it is automatically switched to a standby replica system.

Datapath says the Premium Graphics Package (PGP) is a collection of features that add enhanced window capabilities to content, including cropping, borders, on-screen display (OSD) and banners. This gives operators capabilities to categorize and identify sources using borders, add supplementary screen information using OSD overlays and create custom banners for information display.
