ATEN International has announced the launch of the VE8962 True 4K HDMI over IP extender, designed to meet the growing demands of large-scale, high-performance digital signage applications.
Delivering true 4K 4096x2140@60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI A/V transmission with ultra-low latency over both Ethernet and fibre optic networks, the ATEN VE8962 ensures reliable long-distance AV over IP with LAN/optical failover for continuous system availability across shopping malls, airports, transit hubs, multipurpose stadiums, university campuses, and exhibition centres.
The VE8962 features advanced compression and upscaling, transmitting HDMI, audio, USB, IR, and RS-232 over a single cable. Reliability is reinforced through power redundancy with DC and PoE, network redundancy via LAN and fibre, and operational redundancy supported by web GUI management and control system integration. The VE8962 also supports audio embedding and de-embedding, enabling audio to be integrated into the HDMI stream or extracted for separate delivery.
It supports video wall configurations of up to 80 displays in both portrait and landscape orientations, enabling the creation of dynamic, customised visual experiences. Its daisy-chain capability further simplifies deployment, allowing up to 30 receivers to stream from a single source without the need for additional network switches— delivering significant savings in cost, time, and space.
