Datapath’s solution for secure multi-point video management and control, has introduced the VisionSC-A2 capture card to its range for what Datapath calls “a more streamlined image capture process”. It is one of several new additional functionalities to the Aetria solution.
This capture card extends the Aligo AVoIP solution by providing capture of Aligo streams from an Aetria network, directly into a workstation, or video wall controller.
With two 10G channels on each card, the VisionSC-A2 is designed to provide high-density capture, whether on a multi-screen operator workstation, or a shared large-scale video wall surface.
Each channel can capture a single 4K or up to four HD streams, which Datapath says allows 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.
John Storey, R&D director at Datapath said: “Previously, capture of Aligo streams into a system was achieved using technology such as an Aligo RX100 receiver connected to a VisionSC-UHD2 capture card. With the VisionSC-A2, data is transferred directly from the capture port into the host system over PCI Express, providing a more cost-effective, simpler solution.”
Datapath has also announced upgrades to the Datapath’s VSNMini 300 video wall controller launched earlier this year. The VSNMini 300 can now be pre-configured for use as a dedicated operator workstation PC. It offers up to four 4K outputs and can be configured with Datapath capture cards to provide a solution for control room operators.
Also, now added to all versions of Aetria Workstation, the newly integrated Wall Manager allows operators to control any connected video wall directly from the Aetria Workstation interface. The Wall Manager interface opens above any open sources on the operators’ desktop to allow quick interaction with the video wall, Datapath says.
Adding to Aetria’s benefits, and to assist with optimum system operations, Aetria Command Center now provides a central dashboard for administrators to view the status and health of their Aetria Network Manager appliance, or both Aetria Network Managers when configured as a redundant pair. Furthermore, Aetria users can now pan and zoom sources displayed on a video wall in Aetria Command Center.
Following the launch of the Aetria Touch control panel, the 10-inch interface has also been updated to include the following:
- UI Translations, including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
- Automatic source list decluttering – sources that can’t be used are automatically hidden from view.
- Ability to add/remove banners, borders, and OSD assets
- User-specified favourites
- Saving of video wall content into a new layout
