Arqa is a KVM video distribution system for critical environments, enabling low-latency, high-quality access to multiple remote sources from a single workspace.
Datapath’s Arqa video distribution system with KVM has been developed specifically for demanding command and control environments and other critical AV applications. These include utility operations, process control, national defence and emergency services, corporate boardrooms, and broadcast media centres.
Arqa gives operators access to multiple remote sources from a single workspace, without sacrificing video quality or round-trip latency.

With built-in OneControl technology, switching between multiple sources can be done with ease. Users can simply drag their cursor to the edge of their monitor and seamlessly glide through multiple sources of interest with zero latency, just as if all sources were connected locally.
Scalability, control, and flexibility in shared-source environments. Push/Pull support enables real-time access to shared video and data sources. Users can pull remote sources to their local workstation, gain full USB control when needed, or monitor sources controlled by others without disrupting workflows. With sufficient permissions, users can also push their workspace to other workstations or a central video wall via a Datapath controller.
Arqa uses an intra-frame compression algorithm that results in a significant latency advantage over other methods, such as h264, RDP, VNC. This aids in visually lossless image quality, irrespective of content.
