VK1200

High performance processor embedded with quad-core CPU and 1 GB memory for designing and controlling complex projects
Dual, isolated LAN for secured communication among IT devices
LCD display shows the option for configuration and information display
Supports centralized control and management by ATEN Unizon™

The ATEN Compact Control Box VK1200 is a powerful second-generation control processor designed to deliver secure, centralized, and efficient management of AV, IT, and automation systems. Despite its compact form factor, the VK1200 features a high-performance quad-core processor, 1 GB memory, and dual isolated LAN ports, enabling reliable operation in demanding environments that require advanced security and system stability.

The VK1200 is equipped with two dedicated network interfaces: Control LAN and LAN. The Control LAN provides a separate and secure network for connected devices, helping organizations isolate critical systems from the corporate network. The LAN port supports integration with ATEN Unizon, a centralized management platform that allows users to monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain multiple AV and control systems from a single interface.

Designed for flexible deployment, the VK1200 seamlessly integrates with ATEN ProAV solutions and a wide range of third-party devices, including displays, projectors, lighting systems, conference equipment, HVAC controls, motion sensors, power switches, and more.
