Derby, UK-headquartered Datapath – a global leader in computer graphics, video capture and digital display technology – and Dubai-based Mindstec Distribution have unveiled a new state-of-the-art Aetria integrated control room demo facility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Following the recent launch of Mindstec’s experience centre in the Saudi capital, the new facility represents a significant leap forward in showcasing and training on advanced control room video management technology. It is a testament to the growing demand for sophisticated audiovisual solutions in the Middle East.
The demo facility fully has the latest audiovisual (AV) technology and features Datapath’s comprehensive Aetria solution kit.
Engineered for the most demanding and intricate applications, Aetria simplifies operations for both system integrators and control room operators.
Its intuitive user interface and software are designed to let operators concentrate on their primary tasks without getting bogged down by technical complexities. This enhances their efficiency and focus, which is crucial in high-stakes environments.
For system integrators, Aetria offers the flexibility to design and implement optimal control room solutions effortlessly. The system provides a structured approach with seamless integration options, streamlining the deployment process.
Moreover, Aetria centralises the management of all connectivity, including workstations, video walls, sources, layouts, and templates, within a single interface. This unified approach reflects the ideal setup for modern control rooms.
Exceptional video management
Designed to replicate a real-world control room environment, the new Aetria demo facility allows visitors to experience the full capabilities of the Aetria system, which is reputed for its exceptional video management capabilities.
