Datapath has launched Aetria - a fully integrated platform purposely designed for control room environments.
Aetria from Datapath brings all the elements of control room design, management, control and monitoring into a single system, allowing integrators and end users to design systems to meet requirements including connectivity, videowalls, workstations and source management, ranging from small to very large installations.
Aetria has been designed to make content sharing easy for operators, plus easy to control, manage and secure for administrators. It manages the underlying technology enabling users to focus on their primary objectives.
With Aetria, Datapath is also introducing several workstation options, depending on end-user requirements and connectivity preferences. The Aetria Workstation system offers almost unlimited connectivity and flexibility of source viewing, sharing and control, whilst alternative solutions provide for more secure environments depending on requirements.
Datapath’s VSN controllers are fully supported and Aetria can also work in harmony with established third-party hardware, such as AMX and Crestron, via its application programming interface (API).
Aetria Designer is a free web-based design tool. Project designs can be created, shared and ‘tested’ with end customers without the need to be connected to a network, making it easy to create, review and approve designs at any time and from anywhere in the world.
Sitting at the heart of the Aetria system, Aetria Command Center provides a unified interface to design, manage and operate control rooms. Once installed and commissioned, control room operators use Aetria Command Center to view or share the sources they need in real-time on any connected output, be it a display, videowall or workstation.
Providing a personal videowall, almost unlimited in size, configuration and connectivity. Aetria Workstation enables users to segment their desktop into dedicated zones – allowing any combination of sources to be displayed and controlled alongside their local applications.
Critical for successful control room deployments, security has been a key focus for Aetria throughout development. With fully integrated user rights management (compatible with LDAP as well as standalone user accounts) administrators are given fine-grained control of access to all Aetria assets. All connections between connected devices are secured with enterprise grade AES encryption, and all user and API connections use TLS encryption.
