ATEN, Possessing Core Video Conversion Technology, Focuses on Streamlining

With the increasing adoption of CCTVs, which offer both preventative effects against various incidents and accidents and high value as legal evidence, interest is focusing on integrated video surveillance solutions. At the same time, as technologies for distributing and transmitting video over long distances across diverse fields, including digital signage, have recently emerged as critical requirements for video surveillance solutions, the range of choices has narrowed further. While an effective central control system capable of maximizing system efficiency is necessary, meeting the demand for an integrated video surveillance A/V solution capable of encompassing these needs is not an easy task.

However, ATEN Korea, a company specializing in KVM switches, professional A/V solutions, and advanced control systems, presented the solution at an A/V seminar hosted by Intech & Company on March 10.

ATEN Korea cited one by one the actual implementation cases for various purposes, including hospitals, subways, and hotels, as well as schools, screen golf facilities, military units, and cooking academies, to provide evidence of the superior technological capabilities of its integrated video surveillance solution. At the same time, ease of use was also emphasized; in fact, ATEN possesses numerous products that have won the Red Dot Award, one of the world's top three design awards, thanks to their high convenience and excellent user interface (UI) that allow even users without specialized knowledge to operate them easily.

According to implementation cases unveiled at the event, the combination of ATEN's modular matrix switch VM1600 and the latest control system VK2100 can meet the diverse needs of users in large-scale A/V applications and locations requiring high-speed A/V signal transmission, such as broadcasting stations, traffic control centers, and emergency service centers. Another strength of ATEN's solutions is the ability to conveniently control all elements—including peripheral hardware such as VanCryst pro A/V, A/V devices, lighting, air conditioners, and power switches—through a professional integrated control solution, going beyond mere video transmission and reception.

Even in environments where real-time monitoring is the top priority, ATEN solutions can be the first choice. While there are concerns about interruptions during monitoring switching in control centers because various sources with different resolutions and remote locations are concentrated and processed by a single controller, ATEN's Seamless Matrix Switch is considered an ideal device that resolves this issue. It also has the advantage of featuring a built-in video wall function, allowing users to enlarge data requiring focused monitoring to the desired size for surveillance.

The explanation is that in actual control environments composed of other switches, there is a concern about the loss of video information during critical moments because the screen appears black or blue for a brief moment of 1 or 2 seconds during content switching, whereas ATEN’s seamless switch immediately switches and transmits video with a switching time close to zero, making it equipment that is more optimized, especially for critical locations involving accidents and incidents.

“We are leading the industry by introducing products ahead of the curve with ATEN’s superior core video switching technology, and this equipment is optimized for reducing costs and improving efficiency for companies,” said a marketing representative from ATEN Korea. “It will not only meet all the demanding requirements of the recent corporate environment but also fully satisfy the needs of video editing professionals and individual users.”
