Aetria FAQs

What is Aetria?

Aetria is Datapath’s integrated platform for the management and operation of control rooms of any size. It brings together video wall control, operator workstations, source management, system monitoring, and workflow automation under a single unified interface. This allows system integrators to configure and manage complex environments without operators needing to interact with the underlying technology directly.

What are the main components of the Aetria system?

Aetria is made up of five core components:

Aetria WallControl (video wall management software for VSN-powered walls)
Command Center (the unified configuration and operations interface)
Network Manager (a pre-configured appliance for rapid deployment)
Operator Workstations (available as software-based Aetria Workstation or hardware-based Aligo Workstation instances)
Aetria Touch (a 10.1″ touch panel for desk or wall-mount video wall control).

All components are supplied by Datapath as a complete solution.

What types of control rooms is Aetria designed for?

Aetria is designed for any control room environment where reliability, real-time source management, and multi-operator access are critical. Deployments include mission-critical command and control facilities, cyber operations centers, broadcast and media control rooms, utility and infrastructure monitoring rooms, and corporate operations centers. The platform scales to suit both smaller installations and large, complex multi-wall environments.

How does Aetria handle video wall management?

Aetria WallControl integrates VSN Series video wall controllers into the Aetria platform, giving operators centralized control of multiple video walls from a single interface. Operators can apply pre-configured layouts and templates, manage HDMI source encoding, and adjust display arrangements in real time. User rights management controls which operators can access which layouts, sources, and wall configurations, an important capability in shared or tiered-access environments.

Can Aetria automate control room workflows?

Yes. Aetria Events enables operators to automate responses to incidents and pre-defined triggers, ensuring the right content reaches the right display at the right time without manual intervention. Customizable workflows can be built to handle routine processes automatically, reducing response times in high-pressure situations. Aetria also supports third-party system integration to extend automation across connected platforms.

How is Aetria deployed and managed on a network?

The Aetria Network Manager appliance is pre-configured with Command Center software, requiring only a power connection and network uplink to begin deployment. This minimizes installation complexity for system integrators. Once live, all solution components: workstations, video walls, sources, and connected hardware are monitored continuously by a Command Center, with real-time alerts issued if any component requires attention.
