Atlona OmniStream Single-Channel Networked AV Encoder

Product Description

Broadcast-grade, uncompromised 4K video over IP performance with nearly zero latency.

OmniStream delivers the highest quality 4K imagery using SMPTE VC-2 visually lossless compression (SMPTE 2042) with extremely low latency. VC-2 is optimized for video distribution over readily available Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure.

Fully scalable from rooms to campuses and enterprises. Imagine the possibilities.

AV over IP technology lets you realize opportunities for interconnecting AV throughout a facility, building, or across an entire corporate or university campus. Standard IP network hardware replaces the need for fixed matrix switching systems that are difficult to scale.

Built-in security and network error resilience.

OmniStream features selectable AES128 encryption for securing sensitive or protected AV content in government, healthcare, and other environments. OmniStream is also the only AV over IP platform in the industry with SMPTE 2022 forward error correction for ensuring robust performance over large network installations.

The Atlona OmniStream™ 111 (AT-OMNI-111) is a networked AV encoder for one HDMI source up to 4K/UHD, plus embedded audio and RS-232 control. OmniStream is designed for distributing AV over Gigabit Ethernet in enterprises and other large-scale installations. The OmniStream 111 features SMPTE VC-2 visually lossless compression for critical-quality video applications, with extremely low, sub-frame latency from encode to decode. It also includes selectable AES-128 encryption, and SMPTE 2042 forward error correction for robust AV distribution spanning multiple networks. This encoder is housed in a half-rack width enclosure. The OmniStream 111 can conveniently be powered over the network through Power over Ethernet (PoE), as well as from local AC power.

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.

Product compatibility

The OmniStream 111 is compatible with the OmniStream 121 and OmniStream 122 decoders.

Designed for pro AV integration

The OmniStream 111 includes several features for optimizing integration and enhancing professional AV presentations. EDID and HDCP management features ensure reliable, consistent system operation and compatibility with source devices. EDID management includes the option to assign an EDID captured from a display at an OmniStream AV decoder. Aspect ratio controls are available to specify the presentation viewing format as desired by the end user. Additionally, OmniStream offers the option to overlay a logo image (PNG with transparent background) onto an AV presentation for corporate or institutional branding. A full-screen image can also be displayed, as a backup in an event of an interruption in an AV stream, or to display information between presentations.

Applications

• Enterprises and other large organizations – Maximize AV application flexibility by enabling content sharing within single meeting rooms, or corporate-wide broadcasting to every connected screen.
• Corporate and university campuses with the need to distribute AV between buildings – OmniStream allows virtually unlimited AV system scope and scale. For very large, expansive LANs, SMPTE-standard FEC (forward error correction) ensures robust, reliable image presentation at every endpoint.
• Applications in which any AV content or resource can be shared anywhere in the system – AV over IP technology removes the restrictions associated with interconnecting sources and displays through standard matrix switching architecture.

Features

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

• 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 AV and control scenarios

Supports DCI 4K @ 24 Hz, UHD @ 30 Hz, and 1080p @ 60 Hz

• Supports high resolution applications such as CAD, 3D visualization, desktop publishing, and detailed financial reporting

SMPTE VC-2 visually lossless video compression

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

Network error resilience with FEC (forward error correction)

• Compensates for the possibility of AV packet losses in large systems spanning several networks
• Enables consistent, reliable performance in enterprise-wi­­de networked AV implementations

Secure content distribution with AES-128 encryption

• Any AV presentation content can be secured by scrambling IP streams
