Software Gateway for AV Control and Management plus Room Scheduling

The Atlona AT-VGW-SW is an Atlona Velocity server gateway for AV system control, plus room scheduling and AV asset management. This gateway is a software product, designed for installation on standard IT server infrastructure provisioned by the integrator or end user. With a simple network connection and web browser access, an integrator, tech manager, or technician can quickly begin configuration and deployment of AV control systems, room scheduling touch panels, and AV devices such as matrix switchers. The Velocity VGW-SW server gateway supports industry-standard, secure data communications, and can run within a private, dedicated AV device network. An innovative, network-based system architecture allows full redundancy and failover with two VGW-SW instances in operation, maximizing AV system reliability while preventing downtime in mission-critical applications. The VGW-SW software server gateway delivers 20 rooms of AV control. Velocity offers comprehensive system control for Atlona as well as third-party AV devices. User AV system control is available from Velocity touch panels, as well as user mobile devices and web browsers without the need to purchase additional licensing. Velocity features a highly intuitive, GUI-based configuration platform, designed for quick, efficient deployment of AV control systems for multiple rooms. Supports Velocity Premier Services – Remote Gateway (AT-VPS-RG) for remote configuration, management, and control over the internet. Remote access to the gateway creates an opportunity to provide enhanced support and customer service by allowing system and device configuration, troubleshooting, credential and firmware updates, and more from any device with a browser and internet connection. In addition to AV system control, the VGW-SW gateway can serve up to 40 rooms for meeting or event scheduling. Velocity offers a powerful yet intuitive room scheduling platform that’s easy to install and configure for integrators, and simple to access for meeting participants. It offers a refined, user-friendly touch panel GUI for viewing meeting room availability status, browsing for available rooms, scheduling a meeting or event time, extending meetings as necessary, and initiating ad hoc meetings. Velocity room scheduling is compatible with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365, Exchange, and Astra Schedule. For additional user convenience, the room scheduling system can be configured with a control system to automatically trigger AV functions and macros whenever a meeting begins or ends. For installations requiring more than 20 rooms of AV control, or more than 40 rooms for meeting / event scheduling, an AT-VRL-SW license is available to provide 1 additional room for AV control, and 2 additional rooms for scheduling. One or more VRL-SW licenses can be purchased online, or within the user portal of the VGW-SW installation. The VGW-SW software server gateway includes Velocity Device Manager, a powerful system integration resource for configuring and managing Atlona devices over a network. It helps streamline AV configurations by letting users discover, set up, and commission Atlona IP-controllable products. After the products are deployed, Velocity Device Manager provides continual system monitoring and the ability to manage firmware and credential updates. The VGW-SW gateway delivers high performance processing for IP-connected AV systems throughout multiple rooms, plus numerous room scheduling touch panels, and management for switchers, matrix switchers, networked AV encoders and decoders, and many other AV devices.
