Features Expandability High-Availability System The 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. 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. Video Wall Integration with Scaler 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. Easy Video Wall Setup Through a simple point-and-click web interface, the provides easy video wall setup and up to 32 different connection profiles to see what you want, how you want it. 01 16 05 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. Integrated Control Video-wall Processing Optimum Reliability 3 Seamless Switch 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. 4
Award-Winning Graphic User Interface What you see is what you get 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. 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. GUI Easy Wizard for quick setup No matter if you want to display video sources independently on separate monitors, or tied together on a video wall, the ATEN 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. - 16 X 16 Modular Matrix Switch PROFILE LIST 10 On Sequence 4 X 4 [ Profile 1 ] Digital Signage 3 X 2 [ Profile 2 ] New Life 10 [ Profile 3 ] Product Demo 2 X 1 [ Profile 4 ] Comparison Setting Hi, Administrator Delete [ Profile 5 ] Built-in Scheduling tool 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.

Success Story: The Bierkeller, UK Solution Setup 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 () for video switching, and receivers (VE814R/VE8R) for extending the video signals throughout the three pubs. BAR ROOM 1 Camcorder VE8T VE8R VE8R 25 M Modular Matrix Input Board Output Board BACK ROOM VE814R Long distance and high-quality signal transmission The ATEN Modular Matrix Switch used together with the VE814R Receiver, easily delivers 1080p video transmissions up to 100 meters via Cat 5e/6 cable across the three pubs without signal interference or loss. BAR ROOM 2 Camcorder VE8T VE8R VE8R 40 M Modular Matrix Input Board Output Board Video Splitter VS184A X4 Video Splitter VS184A X4 Sky Box X4 Media Player X4 Dual display, saving cost and effort The VE814R extender features dual 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. BAR ROOM 3 Camcorder VE814R VE8T VE8R VE8R 50 M Modular Matrix Input Board Output Board A smooth, seamless viewing experience CAMCORDER VE814R 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. LOCATION ATEN PRODUCT ATEN I/O Card INPUT OUTPUT CAT5e DISTANCE Broadcast commands to the displays all at once With the 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.
