Heusden-Zolder (January 23, 2017) – Developing high-standard connectivity solutions for almost 40 years, ATEN will again present its latest innovations at ISE 2017 (February 7-10, Amsterdam RAI). Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) is the largest event in Europe for system integration in the AV and IT industries, held annually in Amsterdam (NL). Come and discover ATEN's extensive media distribution, control centre and IT management solutions in multiple live hands-on setups.

ATEN will present its long-awaited virtual KVM over IP matrix system (KE6900, KE6940), in a hands-on live demonstration at booth 8-N210. ATEN shows how virtual KVM matrices are installed in control rooms, to create workspace flexibility with instant access to various servers and video sources. The ultimate benefit is its video wall function and shared access modes, combined with advanced security options. This makes the KE-series ideally fit for security, broadcasting and traffic control rooms. Moreover, in supermarkets, the system can connect point-of-sales consoles with computers to centralise the IT infrastructure in a server room. With additional support for touch screens, full HD and virtual media, ATEN ensures a strong position in several markets.

Another newcomer is the ATEN hardware control series (VK-series). An all-round control and automation system, which easily fits new and existing installations, such as conference rooms, media distribution or control rooms. It allows users to control multiple devices with a single button, being it physical or digital. ATEN developed a neat configuration software (VK6000) to setup the installation, along with a physical controller (VK2100), which supports infrared, serial, network, I/O or relay connections. Marc Salimans, Sales Director at ATEN Infotech, highlights, “To keep installation simple, ATEN chooses not to oblige installers to use complex code languages. Everyone can design a customised GUI with our drag-and-drop system.” Customising macros and serial commands remains possible. Experience the system live at the ATEN booth in Hall 8, where it controls almost the entire booth, including a control room, miniature office and an entire media distribution setup.

Furthermore, ATEN has again expanded its Ultra HD media distribution range. ATEN offers Ultra HD extenders, splitters and matrix switches, which guarantee a high bandwidth and avoid signal delay, regardless which software or operating system is used. ATEN HDBaseT technology covers distances up to 70m when transmitting uncompressed Ultra-HD content, Ethernet, power, USB and control commands through a single cat-cable.

During ISE2017, ATEN hosts daily interactive sessions at booth 8-N210 to demonstrate its IT management; control room and media distribution solutions:

• 11:00: Managing your control room and IT infrastructure? (15-30min.) Learn how to upgrade to a secure and remote over IP management system in Full HD and how to manage workstations, monitoring- and video walls in a multi-user setting.
• 15:00: Which AV hardware solutions to use in business, retailer or educational setups? (15-30min.) Finding the right hardware for future-proof installations. How to setup one touch to control an entire setting.
