Argosy Brings KVM-Over-IP To IBC

Argosy has teamed up with ATEN to bring KVM-over-IP to IBC2016, Stand 10.C51.

The keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) solutions offer broadcasters a more efficient way of working by providing instant access to a matrix of PCs from virtually any location within a facility.

ATEN transmitters attach to multiple PC systems located in a broadcast facility's rack room, or datacentre, with the ATEN receiver boxes connected to single or multiple monitors situated at any workstation across a facility. This includes those in the production studios, edit suites and sound booths. The setup provides users with shared access and control via IP from any workstation they are using.

Daniel Hinton, B&C Region Manager, Argosy, explained: "KVM-over-IP has been readily adopted in the world of AV and has proven to enhance workflow efficiency and achieve a more coherent environment."

"In adding ATEN's KVM-over-IP to our portfolio, we are responding to the increased use in software-controlled systems where broadcast desks are being overloaded with multiple computer terminals," added Chris Smeeton, Business Unit Director at Argosy. "By controlling all those systems with a single keyboard and mouse, and grouping screens onto video walls, operational areas can be kept clear and uncluttered, leading to greater reliability, efficiency and clarity."
