Bengaluru, Feb 13: ATEN Advance, the leading provider of KVM, AV/IT connectivity, and management solutions, today announced the launch of the VE8962 True 4K HDMI over IP Extender, designed to meet the growing demands of large-scale, high-performance digital signage applications. Delivering pristine True 4K 4096×2140@60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI A/V transmission with ultra-low latency over both Ethernet and fiber optic networks, the ATEN VE8962 ensures reliable long-distance AV over IP with LAN/optical failover for continuous system availability across shopping malls, airports, transit hubs, multipurpose stadiums, university campuses, and exhibition centers.

As digital signage networks grow, organizations need solutions that ensure seamless delivery, reliable uptime, and flexible deployment. The VE8962 meets these demands with advanced compression and upscaling for crystal-clear visuals, transmitting HDMI, audio, USB, IR, and RS-232 over a single cable. Reliability is reinforced through power redundancy with DC and PoE, network redundancy via LAN and fiber, and operational redundancy supported by intuitive web GUI management and control system integration. The VE8962 also supports audio embedding and de-embedding, enabling audio to be seamlessly integrated into the HDMI stream or extracted for separate delivery.

Equally important, the VE8962 offers unmatched scalability and flexibility. It supports video wall configurations of up to 80 displays in both portrait and landscape orientations, enabling the creation of dynamic, customized visual experiences. Its daisy-chain capability further simplifies deployment, allowing up to 30 receivers to stream from a single source without the need for additional network switches – delivering significant savings in cost, time, and space.

Key Features of the VE8962 True 4K HDMI over IP Extender :

• Pristine True 4K@60Hz with Ultra-Low Latency – Transmits up to 4096×2140@60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI, audio, USB 2.0, IR, and RS-232 signals with ultra-low latency over a single Cat 5e/6 or fiber optic cable
• Built-In Network Redundancy – Both LAN and optical connections ensure continuous, reliable AV-over-IP transmission
• Flexible Audio Embedding / De-Embedding – Combine or separate audio and video through one HDMI link for simpler setups
• Seamless Video Wall Integration – Supports up to 80 displays (e.g., 8×10 array) with smooth scaling in either portrait or landscape orientation (90°/270°)
• Instant Local HDMI Input – Quickly connect a source device at the receiver site for timely content updates
• Intuitive Web GUI Management – Drag-and-drop AV sources into custom layouts and backgrounds with ease
• Scalable AV over IP Deployment – Expand to hundreds of endpoints for point-to-point or multipoint setups without distance limits
• Cost-Efficient Daisy-Chaining – Connect up to 30 receivers from one source, minimizing switches while maximizing flexibility

“From retail spaces that demand eye-catching visual impact, to transportation hubs and stadiums where real-time information and system reliability are mission-critical, the VE8962 provides a high-performance, cost-effective, and future-ready solution,” said Nicholas Lin, Senior Vice President of ATEN. “By combining pristine 4K transmission, built-in redundancy, and scalable deployment, ATEN ensures that professional AV installations can meet today’s evolving requirements with confidence.”
