Datapath adds additional UK Aetria training facility at onemedia openspace launch
May 21, 2025
Datapath has added to its demonstration and training facilities in the UK with a full Aetria suite installed at onemedia’s new premises in Bracknell.
onemedia cemented its claim as the UK’s fastest growing technical Audio-Visual distributor with the grand opening of its new Arlington Square offices and ‘onespace’ experience centre. Far more than just operational offices, onemedia’s state of the art facility will also be home to sales & technical training, hosting hands-on product demos & social events and providing hot desking facilities for partners and those who need a space to work. Along with Datapath’s Aetria demo suite, the stunning facility includes hands-on experiences from onemedia’s manufacturer partners including Unilumin, Uniguest, Plexus, Vogel’s, Panasonic, Rethink AV and more.
The main Aetria area has a full Aetria system with two Unilumin LED walls (1.2mm all-in-one and a 0.9mm 3840×1080) running from a VSN V3-11-slot videowall controller. This area also has an Aetria Workstation (VSN300-AWS) which provides KVM control to various sources connected to AligoQTX100s. Feeds from the IPTV system (TV Channels) can also be displayed on the LED walls as the ActiveSQX2 cards are able to decode the RTSP streams.
Also included in onemedia’s Aetria environment is a VSNMicro 600, connected to a large LCD display within the onemedia Service Desk area. This is used as an operating area which can also form part of a demonstration. Feeds from both VSNs can be shared between each other using the Vision Re-Streaming feature.
Along with KVM functionality, instant control of both areas is provided by Datapath’s Aetria Touch technology, which can change layouts, templates and inputs at the touch of a screen.
For creative signage, there are two setups utilizing Datapath’s renowned Fx4. Once of the setups sees two Fx4s running a creative wall made up of seven Bluefin displays. The second area uses a single Fx4 connected to a creative Unilumin LED setup.
With tours and presentations from onemedia’s management team, the open day demonstrated the distributor’s mission to unite leading brands across digital signage, content creation, display technology, mount & brackets as the company continues its path of strong growth. The UK’s leading AV press were in attendance, along with over 50
partners, key clients and their customers, providing an excellent day of networking and opportunity.
Adam Marsden, UK and Ireland Sales Manager for Datapath, said: “Thank you to the onemedia team for providing a fantastic day at their impressive new premises. It was great to see so many faces and to make valuable new contacts.
“Having our full Aetria system installed at Arlington Square offers us another facility to demonstrate the power of our platform and how it can be scaled for control room and multi-end point video content projects of any size.”
