Datapath has installed a full Aetria suite at AV distributor onemedia’s new premises in Bracknell, near London. onemedia recently opened the new Arlington Square offices and experience centre, which will be the home for its sales and technical training, hosting hands-on product demos and social events and providing hot-desking facilities.
Along with Datapath’s Aetria demo suite, the facility includes hands-on experiences from onemedia’s manufacturer partners, including Unilumin, Uniguest, Plexus, Vogel’s, Panasonic, Rethink AV and more.
The main Aetria area has a full Aetria system with two Unilumin LED walls (1.2mm all-in-one and a 0.9mm 3840×1080) running from a VSN V3-11-slot videowall controller.
This area also has an Aetria Workstation (VSN300-AWS) which provides KVM control to various sources connected to AligoQTX100s. Feeds from the IPTV system (TV Channels) can also be displayed on the LED walls as the ActiveSQX2 cards are able to decode the RTSP streams.
Also included in onemedia’s Aetria environment is a VSNMicro 600, connected to a large LCD display within the onemedia Service Desk area. This is used as an operating area which can also form part of a demonstration. Feeds from both VSNs can be shared between each other using the Vision Re-Streaming feature.
Along with KVM functionality, instant control of both areas is provided by Datapath’s Aetria Touch technology, which can change layouts, templates and inputs at the touch of a screen.
For creative signage, there are two setups utilising Datapath’s renowned Fx4. Once of the setups sees two Fx4s running a creative wall made up of seven Bluefin displays. The second area uses a single Fx4 connected to a creative Unilumin LED setup.
With tours and presentations from onemedia’s management team, the open day demonstrated the distributor’s intention to unite leading brands across digital signage, content creation, display technology and mount & brackets.
Adam Marsden, UK and Ireland sales manager for Datapath, said: “Having our full Aetria system installed at Arlington Square offers us another facility to demonstrate the power of our platform and how it can be scaled for control room and multi-end point video content projects of any size.”
