NATO’s Cyber Security Conference NIAS 2019 Uses Analog Way Aquilon RS2 to Drive Plenary Session’s Widescreen Projection

Analog Way’s Aquilon RS2 4K/8K multiscreen presentation system and videowall processor drove the widescreen projection at NIAS 2019 in Mons, Belgium in October.  The 15th annual NATO Information Assurance Symposium is the Alliance’s largest cyber security conference.

Aquilon’s inputs included 4K sources for widescreen videos and presentations and HD sources for 16:9 videos, presentations and IMAG.

“The system needed to be powerful in terms of inputs, outputs and layers,” explains Erik van der Knaap, Project Manager of Van der Veen Event Engineering in Rijswijk. “Low latency is always a must! Plus, we needed a reliable and stable system because it was the heart of the video/screen installation. Analog Way’s Aquilon RS2 offered us flexibility and a large number of layers/PIPs in 4K and HD.”

Van der Knaap notes that, “Aquilon’s large number of inputs, outputs, and 4K and HD layers were perfect for all the screens that were used as multiviewers to show all the content including videos, presentations and IMAG.  Everybody, everywhere was able to follow the event very well.”

“We also found that Web RCS, the web-based user interface, was nice to use – a joy for any operator – and with two dedicated operator multiviewers with more than enough widgets on each was perfect. Aquilon worked very smoothly, without any failures – it was a big success!”
