Datapath expands real-time control for operators with Aligo Workstation.

The company has launched Aligo Workstation, an interface designed to provide operators with real-time control of sources using Datapath’s intelligent AV-over-IP and KVM platform, Aligo. This launch is part of an update to the Aetria ecosystem, delivering a flexible, scalable, and future-ready solution for modern control rooms.

Operating through a dedicated on-screen menu accessed from the Aligo receiver, Aligo Workstation combines real-time responsiveness with intuitive multi-screen KVM control, giving customers more options when creating their control room solutions.

Aligo Workstation provides customers with a hardware-based system that is streamlined and easy to use, perfectly complementing our software-based Aetria Workstation. It is fast, secure, and allows operators to view and seamlessly control all required sources. With sub-millisecond latency, users receive real-time video and highly responsive keyboard and mouse control, enabling them to react quickly to emerging incidents. The interoperability between Aetria Workstation and Aligo Workstation provides the flexibility to combine solutions based on project requirements and budget, ensuring operators have the features and capabilities they need, says Matthew Tibbitt, Senior Product Manager at Datapath.

With built-in OneControl technology, users can effortlessly switch keyboard and mouse control across multiple screens simply by moving the cursor, eliminating the need for hotkeys, toggles, or additional hardware. In addition to support for HD and 4K monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the Aligo AVoIP solution has been expanded to support a range of ultrawide and super-ultrawide monitors, offering greater display flexibility.

Operators can instantly open any source on screen using Aligo Workstation, while multi-source layouts can be saved, easily recalled, and assigned to keyboard shortcuts for ultra-fast switching. Configurations can also be pushed to other workstations within the Aetria ecosystem, where permissions allow.

Aligo Workstation integrates with Aetria’s user rights management, providing granular, permission-based access to sources and video walls. It connects only to sources within the control room, operating via direct hardware access with no operating system, ensuring simplicity, security, and faster response for the operator.
