ATEN Unveils New A/V Distribution Solution at InfoComm 2011Jun 20, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- ATEN announced it has unveiled its VanCrystVS1204T/VS1208T A/V Over CAT5 Distribution Unit, a solution for sending audio and video content to multiple displays. According to ATEN, the distribution unit announced concurrently with the VanCryst Media Matrix Solution represents a concerted effort by the company to extend the reach of VanCryst, ATEN's line of professional A/V solutions, in the North American market. The VanCryst VS1204T/VS1208T A/V Over CAT5 Distribution Unit rounds out the distribution solution family of products by offering utility at a competitive price in addition to ATEN's high-end solutions. The distribution unit is ideal for any professional A/V installation that requires multimedia content to be delivered to multiple destinations. The product has one video/audio input, which can be delivered to either four (VS1204T) or eight (VS1208T) video/audio outputs by way of CAT5e cables. A/V integrators benefit from the breadth of ATEN's VanCryst offerings as well as the cost-savings of working with a true manufacturer. ATEN's digital signage products run the gamut, including video switches, distribution units, extenders and an array of peripherals, as well as all the necessary hardware and software a veritable one-stop-shop for A/V integrators. Able to control costs, ATEN incentivizes integrators by sharing better profit margins with them. The distribution unit also supports both local and remote displays. Utilizing the VE170R or VE170RQ VGA/audio extenders, the VanCryst VS1204T/VS1208T can deliver a signal up to 1,000 feet away. The RQ extender features ATEN's patented Deskew technology, which supports manual synchronization of RGB signals to correct the color phase and timing mismatch that occur over long distances. As such, the distribution solution has particular utility when transmitting audio/video content over distances greater than 500 feet. One such application is large houses of worship, which require support for several displays and extensions. The VanCryst VS1204T/VS1208T enables the preacher to display his sermon onto large multiple displays for the benefit of worshipers sitting at a distance in a large auditorium. When there is attendance overflow, the distribution unit is able to extend video content into rooms adjacent to the auditorium in order to accommodate worshipers. Content that is projected on the big screens can be controlled conveniently while the presentation is running from a server in the data center, preventing any disruption to the service. ATEN is a manufacturer of KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switches in addition to remote management, LCD consoles, video and data connectivity solutions. The company's product line supports a range of data center, desktop and digital signage environments serving enterprise, government, SME and SOHO customers.
