The A/V router combines the VM0808T matrix switch and VE500 and VE300 extenders to route and distribute audio and visual signals over distances of up to 1,000 feet.
KVM and remote connectivity products innovator ATEN unveiled its VanCryst Media Matrix solution this week. The solution is an audio-visual router designed specifically for A/V system integrators.†
Part of the VanCryst line of professional A/V solutions, the Media Matrix Solution marks ATEN’s official entry into the North American digital signage market. It combines the VM0808T matrix switch and VE500 and VE300 extenders to route and distribute audio and visual signals over distances of up to 1,000 feet while maintaining superior video resolution and sound quality.†
The solution is designed to be flexible, enabling A/V system integrators to connect a variety of sources to a variety of targets in a number of permutations: one source to eight targets, two sources to four-by-four targets, eight sources to eight targets, etc.
The matrix switch is also designed to be flexible in the manner by which it can be accessed and controlled. †The device can be controlled locally with front panel pushbuttons via serial connection to a local computer or through a third-party serial connection. The matrix switch can also be used remotely over the Internet with a browser-based interface.
The VanCryst Media Matrix Solution is designed for deployment in environments that involve routing VGA/Audio signals, especially in applications that require long cable runs, such as:
- Broadcasting information to public locations.
- Movie theater lobbies.
- Customer service centers.
- Information control centers.
- Sporting events, gyms, and bowling alleys.
- Meeting rooms, seminars, and company training facilities.
- Casinos, transportation, and logistics centers.
- Traffic control centers and port security facilities.
“ATEN has been leveraging video in our KVM offerings for decades, so it was natural to tap into our patented video technologies, expand our product line, and enter the North American market,” says ATEN CEO James Hsieh. “As the largest KVM manufacturer in the world and with our proven track record with video, ATEN is well positioned to capitalize on the vast North American digital signage market.”
