Atlona OmniStream R-Type 512 Dual-Channel Networked AV Encoder

Product Description

The Atlona OmniStream™ 512 (AT-OMNI-512) is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding for two HDMI 2.0 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 residential and 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, residence, 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.

OmniStream product compatibility

The OmniStream 512 is compatible with the OmniStream 521 decoder as well as OmniStream audio interfaces.

Applications

• Multi-room or whole-house AV systems – OmniStream R-Type enables cost-effective system design, allowing the connection of any number of sources to any number of displays, throughout a residence. 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.
• Home theater and gaming – 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.

Features

Best-in-class AV over IP performance and reliability over Gigabit Ethernet

• Delivers pristine image quality and ultra-low latency over 1 Gbps (GbE) networks
• Ideal for integration over new or legacy network cable infrastructure – including CAT 5e

AV encoder for HDMI up to 4K/UHD, plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through

• Streams video, audio, and control, with the flexibility of transmitting them together or to separate network destinations
• Allows wide-ranging versatility for integrators to design systems to specific requirements

Dual-channel AV encoding

• Two independent channels of encoding in a single box, with dedicated processing for each channel
• Allows high-density rack installations and reduces box count for locations with limited space for equipment

Supports UHD @ 60 Hz plus HDR formats

• Ideal for new and emerging UHD and HDR-capable sources and displays
• Supports HDR10 @ 60 Hz and 10-bit color, as well as HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) for 60p HDR broadcast services
• Supports Dolby Vision™ @ 60 Hz and 12-bit, delivering a best-in-class dynamic HDR experience. A separate license is required.

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 Switchconfigurations for popular models from Cisco, Luxul, 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
