Aetria Command Center
COMPREHENSIVE AND UNIFIED INTERFACE
Sitting at the heart of the Aetria solution, Aetria Command Center is a comprehensive and unified interface for systems integrators to design, manage and operate control rooms solutions.
Once configured, control room operators use Aetria Command Center to quickly and easily view the sources they need in real-time on any connected display surface. With built-in monitoring and diagnostics, Aetria Command Center ensures that all components of the Aetria system are functioning as required and provides real-time alerts to enable swift resolution if any issues occur.
SINGLE, ALL-IN-ONE APPLICATION
Aetria Command Center provides a single, centralized application for the complete end-to-end design, management and control of control room connectivity solutions.
ANY SOURCE, ANY SCREEN, ANY TIME
With Aetria, every online source is multicast, giving users the flexibility to send multiple copies of each source to any connected workstation or video wall as and when needed.
PROJECT IMPORT
Projects created in Aetria Designer can be imported directly into Aetria Command Center, allowing the set up of purchased equipment to be streamlined.
WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
The intuitive web-based interface allows users to quickly and easily set up all required rooms and locations, video walls and displays, operator workstations and available sources and content.
TEMPLATES AND LAYOUTS
Using the built-in template and layout functionality, users can populate connected video walls or workstations with multiple sources with a single click.
Layouts are easy to design using the drag and drop interface, and saved layouts can be shared with other users. Any layout can be shown on any connected display surface of any size, from a large video wall to a single operator screen.
SOURCE MANAGEMENT MADE EASY
With unique features for source management and identification, Aetria Command Center makes managing hundreds of sources easy. For each source, users can assign friendly names and add text labels (on-screen- display) to enable quick identification.
Cropping is available to allow selecting areas of interest within a source. Users can also create banners to add supplementary information to video walls or displays, and borders and frames can be added to sources to quickly highlight, group or identify them.
ENHANCED GRAPHICS FEATURES
Enhanced features allowing window capabilities to any content, on any end point. Operators will be able categorize and identify sources, add supplementary information in overlays, and create custom banners for information displays on video walls and workstations.
SECURITY FIRST
User accounts and permissions are configured in Aetria Command Center by the allocated system administrator(s). Each configured user can be granted access to individual sources and screens to give full access control of all assets across the entire Aetria ecosystem.
MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICS
With built-in monitoring and diagnostics, Aetria provides real-time monitoring of all connected devices, ensuring smooth operation and swift response if issues occur

Aetria Wallcontrol
VIDEO WALLS CONNECTED
Powered by Live Wall’s proven video wall technology, Aetria WallControl enables seamless integration of video walls into the Aetria system.
The hardware behind Aetria WallControl is Live Wall’s range of video processor systems. Video VP40i wall processor that have been powering video walls in critical control rooms for over a decade. The Aetria WallControl software connects VP40i powered video walls to the Aetria system and enables complete, seamless control through the Aetria Command Center.
Placement and organization of content on connected video walls is easy with support for layouts, templates, on screen display (OSD) and carousels.
MULTI-WALL
Aetria allows multiple walls to be delivered by a single video processor system. Walls in separate areas of a building can be independently driven from a single location.Multiple walls can be easily set-up and if required each wall can be assigned a unique set of sources or video resources.
VISION ENCODE
Vision Encode allows sources such as HDMI feeds to be captured within the VP40i video wall Processor. The sources can be displayed on a video wall, or encoded into H.264 and streamed out so that the content can be displayed in other locations.
