Atlona AT-OMNI-512

Introduction

The Atlona OmniStream 512 (AT-OMNI-512) is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding for two HDMI sources up to 4K @ 60 Hz and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. It is part of the OmniStream R-Type Series, designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in light commercial audiovisual applications. The OmniStream 512 is HDCP 2.2 compliant and ideal for the latest Ultra High-Definition and HDR sources. It features advanced high-quality, VC-2 visually lossless video compression, optimized for motion video content. The Atlona OmniStream 512 achieves extremely low, sub-frame latency when paired with OmniStream AV decoders. This dual-channel encoder is housed in a half-width rack enclosure with front-to-back air flow, and is ideal for high-density, compact installation in a centralized equipment location.

Easy to Configure, Simple to Manage

OmniStream AV over IP systems are remarkably easy to set up and manage - whether for a meeting room, divisible room, or an entire university campus. Atlona Management System (AMS) 2.0 features automatic network device discovery, plus an intuitive web-based GUI that lets you configure virtual routing for AV, control, and data over the network - just as easily as you would with conventional AV matrix switching. AMS also streamlines and simplifies management of OmniStream systems through continuous system monitoring, notifications and alerts, event logging, multi-device configuration and backup, automated firmware updates, remote device control, and more.

Applications

• Multi-room or multi-zone AV systems - OmniStream R-Type enables cost-effective system design, allowing the connection of any number of sources to any number of displays. OmniStream delivers equal performance over new or legacy network cable infrastructure, including CAT 5e.
• Bars, restaurants, offices, meeting spaces, and other commercial environments - Expand the system by adding encoders and decoders, making video wall, digital signage, and many other applications simple and easy.
• High quality AV presentations - OmniStream R-Type delivers the uncompromising performance of traditional baseband video systems, making it ideal for applications where both image quality and low latency are crucial.

High performance, visually lossless video compression

• SMPTE 2042 VC-2 light video compression with absolutely minimal, sub-frame latency from encode to decode
• Ensures optimal, pristine-quality graphics and motion video presentations, and is ideal for applications requiring interactivity

HDCP compliance

• Adheres to the latest HDCP 2.2 specification for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
• Allows protected content streams to pass between authenticated devices
• HDCP can be disabled through AMS, allowing content to pass to non-compliant displays and teleconference systems. Protected content is not transmitted.

Simplify integration with plug-and-play network switch compatibility

• Streamline system setup by using Atlona Certified Switch configurations for popular models from Cisco, Pakedge, and many others
• Saves installation time and costs without the need to manually configure a network switch

Local or PoE (Power over Ethernet) powering

• With PoE, encoders can conveniently be powered over the network from a PoE-equipped network switch
• PoE simplifies integration without the need for local AC power, and allows centralized power monitoring and management
• Optional AT-PS-48083-C power supply available

Secure content distribution with AES-128 encryption

• Any AV presentation content can be secured by scrambling IP streams
• Ensures secure content delivery across the network

Supports industry-standard, network security features and protocols

• HTTPS, Telnet, SSH, WebSockets with TLS, and AES-128 encryption

AES67-compatible audio over IP streaming

• OmniStream features industry standard, AES67-compatible networked audio streaming between encoders, decoders, and audio interfaces
• Streams multi-channel PCM up to 7.1 channels
• Simultaneously stream AES67 and native RTP

Simultaneous OmniStream and AES67 audio streaming

• OmniStream encoders can deliver native OmniStream RTP networked audio alongside an AES67-compatible audio stream
• RTP audio streaming supports multi-channel audio formats and PCM up to 7.1 channels
• Encoders also can provide multi-channel PCM audio downmixing
• Use simultaneous AES and RTP audio streaming to send multi-channel PCM to OmniStream decoders, and downmixed PCM audio to an OmniStream 238 audio bridge

Enhance AV presentations with visual enhancements

• Provide corporate or institutional branding by overlaying a logo
• Display a full-screen image as a backup in an event of an interruption in an AV stream, or between presentations
• Identify and label presentation content with static or scrolling text

EDID management

• Manages EDID communications between source and encoder; allows integrators to force a source to a preferred resolution
• Ensures desired audio formats and video resolutions are provided to the AV system
• EDID can be assigned from a display connected to an OmniStream decoder

Audio processing and pass-through

• Streams PCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X
• Supports multi-channel PCM audio downmixing to two-channel PCM

System management
