Product Overview
The Atlona AT-VGW-HW-3 AT-VGW-HW-10 and AT-VGW-HW-20 are Atlona Velocity™ System server gateways for AV system control plus room scheduling and AV asset management. These gateways feature a compact enclosure that easily installs into a rack. 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. Velocity VGW-HW server gateways support industry-standard secure data communications and feature dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for isolating an AV device LAN from a facility or corporate network. An innovative network-based system architecture allows full redundancy and failover with two gateways in operation maximizing AV system reliability while preventing downtime in mission-critical applications.

Velocity AV System Control
The VGW-HW-3 VGW-HW-10 and VGW-HW-20 server gateways deliver 3 10 or 20 rooms of AV control respectively. 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.

Included with every Velocity server gateway is remote monitoring and management through Velocity Cloud Lite. This online portal allows AV integrators facility AV/IT system administrators and tech managers to remotely configure monitor and service Atlona Velocity AV control and room scheduling systems from anywhere and anytime through a web browser.

Velocity Room Scheduling
In addition to AV system control VGW-HW gateways can serve up to 6 20 or 40 rooms for meeting or event scheduling. The Velocity System 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 G Suite™ and Microsoft® Office 365™.

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.

AV Asset Management
All VGW-HW server gateways include the Atlona Management System (AMS) a powerful asset management resource for AV integrators facility AV/IT system administrators and tech managers to configure monitor and service multiple Atlona products from a web browser. AMS enables centralized organization and management of networked Atlona device installations throughout a facility or residence greatly reducing integration time while serving as a convenient portal for helpdesk support.

AV Control for Multiple Rooms
A VGW-HW gateway is a server for rooms with AV control and also rooms for meeting or event scheduling. A room can have both AV control and a touch panel for room scheduling. Additionally the gateway provides AV asset management enabling centralized configuration and deployment of Atlona AV devices over the network.

The AT-VGW-HW-3 provides processing for up to 3 rooms with AV control and up to 6 rooms with scheduling.
