Datapath showcased its expertise and alliances in the control room sector at InfoComm 2024.

Datapath teamed up with Absen, B-Tech AV Mounts, and Fountainhead Control Rooms to demonstrate a complete control room solution of video processing and distribution, LED video wall displays, mounts, and consoles - giving InfoComm attendees a ‘closer’ experience of a control room set-up and the chance to explore and experience other vendor control room-related products.

The set-up was driven by Datapath’s powerful Aetria solution, showing the latest advances in the management and control of multi-source, multi-end point video, including ‘operator video walls’ and the latest Touch control interface. With leading manufacturers coming together to provide complete user solutions, customers and end users had the convenience of seeing how all elements harmonized in a ‘real use’ environment.

Replicating the success of our Aetria control room set-up at ISE, we were excited to welcome Fountainhead, Absen, and B-Tech Mounts solutions to our InfoComm booth in Las Vegas. Aetria offered the ultimate in Control Room video management, and these alliances allowed attendees to see how other vital control room elements worked in harmony in a real-use environment. We looked forward to welcoming attendees to our Las Vegas booth for a bespoke demonstration that fit their requirements, said Mark Bohs, Director of Sales (Americas) for Datapath.

Utilizing Datapath’s award-winning Aetria solution, the demo area included:

• 6x3 Absen KLCOB 0.9 microLED Panels for the main video wall display
• 2 x 3x3 Absen KLCOB 0.9 microLED Panels for two further demo video wall displays
• BT9340-ABS Absen dvLED Videowall Mount from B-Tech Mounts
• 2 x ELITE_AIR consoles from SPF and Fountainhead

With the vast increase in the volumes of video data now required in today’s control rooms, there were huge challenges around how critical information was made available to operators in and out of the control room. As the data volume increased, solutions like Datapath’s Aetria were needed to help operators make sense of it, allowing "anything, anywhere" video management.Managing video processing and content in the Datapath Control Room demo area was a VSN video wall controller with Datapath capture and graphics cards installed. Five Aligo QTX and 18 x Aligo RX100 managed seamless AVoIP operations, with four Arqa TX and eight Arqa RX units working alongside them to transmit and receive video data.

A pair of Aetria Network Managers showed the immense scalability of Aetria, being operated on the two workstations. Datapath's Aetria Touch Tablet was demonstrated for the first time at InfoComm to showcase the ease of use of Aetria's core features. This powerful solution allowed visitors to Datapath’s InfoComm booth to experience first-hand how operators could access the right information at the right time so they could take appropriate action.
