Datapath is renowned for its video wall solutions designed for control rooms and command centers. The company specializes in multi-screen and medium-sized video walls used in various business environments and security-critical sectors. Datapath offers highly flexible, high-quality technologies that are easily integrated, helping operators monitor and manage data efficiently.
Aetria Solutions: Intelligent AV Content Management
One of Datapath’s flagship products is the Aetria platform, a cutting-edge solution for managing AV content in control rooms. The Aetria workstation enables operators to monitor multiple 4K screens and control the display of video sources. A key feature is its ability to directly integrate video content into workstations and share or display it on larger video walls as necessary. This customization enhances operator efficiency and response times in critical situations.
Aligo TX100 4K KVM: Precise Control for High-Quality Applications
The Aligo TX100 4K KVM solution provides operators with precise control over AV content, ensuring 4K resolution is transmitted with minimal compression. This is essential for environments requiring high image quality, such as control and security centers. Leveraging 10G networks, the system can efficiently transmit HD and 4K sources over a single cable, significantly enhancing system flexibility and scalability.
AVoIP and IP-Based Solutions
Datapath is increasingly utilizing IP-based audio-video (AVoIP) technologies, which facilitate seamless transmission of audio and video signals across networks. These AVoIP solutions are key to real-time communication and decision-making, offering a scalable way to connect remote workstations and control centers. Integrating AVoIP with KVM functionality allows operators to manage and transmit data across different locations while maintaining full control over content.
Security and Encryption
Security is a top priority for Datapath. The VSN V3 controller uses TLS encryption to protect data in both transmission and storage, ensuring secure real-time communication, which meets the standards required by government agencies. Additionally, the VSN controller has been optimized for energy efficiency and heat dissipation, making it ideal for demanding installations.
Scalability and Integration
The scalability of the Aetria platform is one of its standout features. Designed to meet the needs of control centers of any size, from small offices to large complex facilities, Aetria can be integrated with hardware from other manufacturers. This allows organizations to implement the system incrementally, expanding their AV infrastructure as needed without requiring an entire overhaul.
Partnerships and Security Technologies
Datapath has formed strategic partnerships with key players in the security industry, such as Fountainhead and Poly-M. These collaborations enable customers to receive complete, integrated solutions. Moreover, Datapath’s technology is compatible with major security platforms like Milestone and Genetec, facilitating seamless integration into existing security infrastructures.
Training and Resources
Datapath emphasizes the importance of customer training to ensure they can fully leverage the capabilities of its products. Along with customized online training, the company provides demo and training centers around the world. These centers allow customers to experience Datapath systems in real-world scenarios and learn how to apply Aetria in various sectors such as defense, cybersecurity, and oil and gas.
Outlook for the Western Balkans and Adriatic Region
The Adriatic region offers significant opportunities for Datapath, especially in infrastructure development. The growing market and the ongoing renewal of control rooms and security solutions present ample prospects for new projects. However, challenges such as budget constraints and exclusion from large-scale projects remain. Despite these hurdles, Datapath has successfully executed key projects, including outfitting police control centers in Belgrade and the technical department of Slovenian air traffic control.
Conclusion
Datapath’s strategy focuses on innovation, security, and scalability, offering solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern control centers. By prioritizing user-friendliness, security, and flexible integration, the company ensures that its products continue to meet the highest standards for safety-critical applications. With a clear vision for the future, Datapath remains at the forefront of AV solutions in the security industry.
