The strategic acquisition brings together two industry leaders in video technology, combining VITEC’s IPTV distribution expertise with Datapath’s advanced video wall and control room solutions. This integration broadens the portfolio of both companies but also accelerates product development and enhances support for customers in mission-critical sectors. Datapath’s product names will remain within the VITEC portfolio, ensuring continuity for customers while enhancing support and ongoing development.
Datapath will unveil its new Aligo Workstation marking its first appearance as part of the VITEC family. The Aligo Workstation is a purpose-built interface designed to give operators real-time control of sources using Datapath’s intelligent AV-over-IP and KVM platform, Aligo. It has been introduced as part of an update to the Aetria ecosystem, delivering a flexible, scalable, and future-ready solution for modern control rooms. Operating via a dedicated on-screen menu accessed via the Aligo receiver, Aligo Workstation combines real-time responsiveness with intuitive multi-screen KVM control, and offers customers more options when creating their control room solutions.
With built-in OneControl technology, users can seamlessly switch keyboard and mouse focus across multiple screens simply by moving the cursor, eliminating the need for hotkeys, toggles, or additional hardware. In addition to support for HD and 4K monitors with 16:9 aspect ratios, the Aligo AVoIP solution has been enhanced to support a range of ultrawide and super ultrawide monitors, offering greater display flexibility.
Operators can instantly open any source on screen using Aligo Workstation, while multi-source layouts can be saved, recalled with ease, and assigned to keyboard shortcuts for ultra-fast switching. Layouts can also be pushed to other workstations within the Aetria ecosystem, where permissions allow.
Aligo Workstation integrates fully with Aetria’s User Rights Management, providing fine-grained, permission-based access to sources and video walls. It connects only to sources within the control room, operating via direct hardware access with no operating system, ensuring simplicity, security, and faster operator response.
