On this day, ATEN introduced various Video Matrix (VM) switches and their features, including the VM5808H, VM5404H , and VM6404H. Also introduced were the VM1600, an innovative modular matrix switch capable of transmitting up to 16 video sources to up to 16 displays , as well as products such as HDMI cables and HDMI extenders . The VM160 is a cutting-edge product that has been a hot topic in the domestic industry even before its release , thanks to its innovative modular design that allows for flexible response ranging from maintenance such as replacing a single fan to the expansion of functions .
Industry insiders also showed great interest in how video walls and digital signage systems switched instantly through ATEN's Seamless Engine, which features a built-in proprietary scaler . In addition , a demonstration of ATEN’s Red Dot Award-winning video wall controller was held , and various cases were introduced showing how different devices can be combined in various environments to create synergy .
The highlight of the seminar that day was a demonstration of a conference room environment combining ATEN's modular matrix switch VM1600 and the latest control system VK2100 . The VK2100 control system, which allows for convenient control of not only existing ATEN VanCryst pro A/V products but also peripheral hardware such as various A/V devices, lighting, air conditioners, and power switches, and enables easy creation of user profiles, was combined with a video matrix switch. When the demonstrator lightly touched the iPad screen, the lights automatically turned off, the projector turned on , and the screen lowered, automatically preparing for the meeting .
An official from ATEN Korea stated, “Recently, the trend for digital signage and video walls is to build more economical systems with fewer devices and lower costs. However , due to rapid technological advancements, there is a tendency for industry professionals to not actively utilize integrated solutions that offer various functions, even though such solutions have been released . ” He also assessed , “This seminar was a valuable opportunity to introduce industry stakeholders to where current technology stands and how to build more efficient and economical systems using it . ”

SKT Receives International Standard for AI Data Center Interconnection Structure… Establishes Operating System Standards
SK Telecom's proposed AI data center interworking architecture has received final approval as an international standard at the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) conference. The core of this standard is the classification of AI data centers into three layers—service, management, and infrastructure—and the organization of signaling requirements between layers. As AI service proliferation increases the importance of interworking among various systems within data centers such as computation, power, cooling, storage, and security, this standard is significant in that it presents a common architecture for operations and service delivery. SK Telecom stated that it initiated the relevant standardization project in 2024 and achieved this approval following approximately two years of discussion.
