Datapath Selected for UK Mission Critical Control Room

Using Aetria technology, operators can create their own personal ‘video wall’ on their workstation, allowing them to view content relevant to their role, with the ability to instantly share data on the main video wall when relevant.

Datapath announced that its full Aetria solution is utilized in a UK defense control room. Working closely with on premises integrator Alton Valley and specialist technical distributor onemedia, the project, which cannot be named for security purposes, gives control room operators the ability to share and manage video content from 7 air-gapped networks across both external and internal video sources. 

Using Aetria technology, operators can create their own personal ‘video wall’ on their workstation, allowing them to view content relevant to their role, with the ability to instantly share data on the main video wall when relevant. 

Alton Valley’s UK government, security cleared team, were able to deliver this system using industry leading security features, giving both the hardware and software the ability to expand in size and capability. 

“We are proud to have supported Alton Valley and onemedia in delivering this impressive control room. Aetria is a platform that is adaptable to control room projects of any size and, with all components utilized by this prestigious end user, it provides a trusted platform to share, manage and monitor content like never before.”

At the heart of the system is Datapath’s award-winning VSN1172 controller, equipped with Datapath’s latest 4K graphics and capture cards. KVM control is provided by six Aligo transmitters and receivers, with management undertaken by Aetria Workstation and Wall Control Pro. 

For even more convenient control, the system also benefits from Datapath’s latest Touch controllers, allowing templates and displays to be switched at the touch of a button (user rights permitting). 

To ensure a seamless handover upon completion, Datapath and Alton Valley provided a full commissioning service, ensuring end-user operators are fully versed in Aetria’s considerable capabilities, as well as being on-hand for any initial technical issues or concerns. 

“Our continued work within this industry reflects Alton Valley’s commitment to delivering the highest standards of service, quality, and reliability. We pride ourselves on completing every project to an exceptional standard, and our capabilities as a business continue to grow and impress, both in scale and technical delivery. We hope this marks the beginning of a strong and exciting partnership with Datapath”
