Product Features
Technical Overview
The VE8950R leverages ATEN's advanced video lossless compression technology to maintain stunning image quality while efficiently utilizing network bandwidth. The built-in scaler automatically adjusts incoming video signals to match the maximum resolution of connected displays, allowing simultaneous use of 4K and 1080p screens within the same deployment.
EDID Expert™ technology selects optimal EDID settings during system initialization, ensuring smooth power-up sequences and consistent video quality across different display devices. Users can select from three video compression presets—Smooth, Balance, and High Quality—to optimize performance based on specific application requirements and network conditions.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, Number of Remote Users Supported, Graphic Mode, Maximum Video Resolution.
