[ISE 2025: The Must-Attend Event for the Pro AV Industry]
Datapath to Showcase Next-Gen Control Room and Video Management Solutions
Being shown in Barcelona for the first time, Datapath has new additions to both its hardware and software portfolio. As well as new products for its Aetria solution, an integrated platform that ensures scalability and futureproofing for control rooms, they are also showing their latest video wall controllers that power multi-source video wall projects of any size.
Aetria now includes an integrated events engine that provides a visual interface to easily create automated workflows that trigger actions based on internal or external events. These workflows are created by joining together ‘nodes’ that are then executed in Aetria. As a simple example, a workflow could be easily created to open a specified layout at a given day and time.
Another first for ISE 2025 will be Datapath’s revised VSNMicro 600 video wall controller. With an updated motherboard and processor, the VSN Micro 600 is an ideal choice for small to medium sized projects where a compact footprint is a premium requirement. The VSNMicro 600 now features the optional processor upgrade to Intel’s Core i9, offering 5.10 GHz and a 30Mb cache.
Making its major trade show debut at ISE 2025, the newly engineered VisionSC-A2 4K capture card extends Datapath’s Aligo AVoIP solution by providing cost-effective capture of Aligo video streams from an Aetria network, directly into a workstation or video wall controller.
With two 10G channels on each card, the VisionSC-A2 is available now, providing high-density capture that meets today’s needs for displaying ever-increasing data volumes, whether on a multi-screen operator workstation, or a shared large-scale video wall surface. Each channel can capture two 4K/60 or up to four HD streams, allowing a single VisionSC-A2 card to capture two visually lossless 4K streams, a single 4K and up to four HD streams, or up to eight separate HD streams.
