Modular Matrix SolutionComplete A/V Signal Control in One Expandable System

When video is displayed across multiple screens to maximize marketing, live broadcasting or real-time monitoring – timing is crucial. This is made even more challenging when screens are integrated within a video wall system.

The ATEN VanCryst™ Modular Matrix Solution incorporates a Modular Matrix Switch with input & output board slots that provide the option of various mixed video interface combinations, to include digital and analog video formats such as HDBaseT, HDMI, SDI, DVI and VGA – in one solution.

This series features an all-in-one control mechanism that integrates video wall processing and matrix switching in a single high performance chassis. Empowered by ATEN’s unique Seamless Switch™ technology, the matrix switch produces live video with perfect timing in any dimension.

VM160016x16 Modular Matrix Switch

Features

The system is fully expandable with modular I/O boards that provide plug-n-play connectivity with an extensive line of analogue and digital A/V equipment. The modular I/O boards are hot-pluggable for any occasion that requires quick replacement of A/V connections without shutting down the existing service.

Expandability

The Modular Matrix Solution features an all-in-one control mechanism that integrates video wall processing and matrix switching in a single chassis. This new approach simplifies video installations with streamlined management and contributes to overall system reliability.

Integrated Control

ATEN Seamless Switch™ technology is powered by an exclusive seamless engine that features instantaneous video switching and Full HD video. This high-performance engine processes A/V signals by executing EDID and HDCP handshakes simultaneously for both the source and display – scaling all inputs for the best output resolution. By setting the output clock timing and using a frame buffer to retain input signal information, you’re always guaranteed the fastest output possible.

Seamless Switch™

Our unique Scaler uses ATEN FPGA technology to unify various video input signals to render the optimum output resolution on displays with uncompromised precision for a perfect picture.

Video Wall Integration with Scaler

Through a simple point-and-click web interface, the VM1600 provides easy video wall setup and up to 32 different connection profiles – to see what you want, how you want it.

Easy Video Wall Setup

The VM1600 Modular Matrix Switch is equipped with a spare power module slot for redundancy. This prevents single points of failure from shutting down the entire system, keeping it up and running at all times with no video service interruptions.

Built-in Scheduling tool

Award-Winning Graphic User Interface

The Modular Matrix Switch can be configured over a standard TCP/IP connection via its built-in Graphical User Interface (GUI). Because it can be accessed from anywhere over a network or the Internet, operators can easily log in via any web browser.

No matter if you want to display video sources independently on separate monitors, or tied together on a video wall, the ATEN VM1600 offers an easy Wizard for quick setup and profile creation. Choose between a Digital Signage and Video Wall layout then use the graphical interface to set the connections. Making a video wall or digital signage profile has never been easier.

Video wall setup provides 32 connection profiles that you can customize into separate layouts using a simple point-and-click web interface. Video walls allow you to setup multiple displays that combine to form and show video as one large screen, in various layouts – to see what you want, how you want it.

A built-in scheduling function allows you to: queue profiles in any sequence, play each profile for a specific amount of time, set the overall playback duration, and loop or end the schedule as needed. The options are limitless. An easy to use scheduling tool is exactly what you need when arranging profiles to play for a precise period of time.

Easy Wizard for quick setup

The ATEN Modular Matrix Switch used together with the VE814R HDBaseT Receiver, easily delivers 1080p video transmissions up to 100 meters via Cat 5e/6 cable across the three pubs – without signal interference or loss.

Long distance and high-quality HDMI signal transmission

The VE814R extender features dual HDMI ports which allow two HDTVs to be connected to one unit, reducing the number of receivers and amount of cable needed for installation. This decreases installation time for the system integrator and lowers the cost for the pub owner.

Dual display, saving cost and effort

Since one of the venues will have live bands performing, delivering live video feeds to different locations is critical to the pub owner. Thanks to ATEN’s close-to-zero second switching, the Modular Matrix Switch provides a smooth viewing experience with no black screen when the video is switched – leaving the customer entertained without being interrupted.

A smooth, seamless viewing experience

With the VM1600’s broadcast feature, staff can remotely power on and off all the displays, all at once, with the push of a button. This eliminates the need to power on and off each display, one by one, every day.

Broadcast commands to the displays all at once

Success Story: The Bierkeller, UK

Three jointly-owned pubs located at an entertainment complex in the UK adopted ATEN‘s professional A/V Solution to successfully deliver eight video sources (3 Skybox receivers, 4 media players, 1 live feed) to 60 displays located across their three venues. The solution included a Modular Matrix Switch (VM1600) for video switching, and HDMI receivers (VE814R/VE802R) for extending the video signals throughout the three pubs.
