Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED 4K/UHD Six-Input Multi-Format Switcher
The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED is an advanced multi-format, six-input switcher with built-in 4K scaling and HDMI outputs and mirrored HDBaseT. It simplifies small office amd classroom system integration by providing two multi-function analog inputs, two HDBaseT inputs and two HDMI inputs. The HDBaseT inputs is enabling integration of remote sources at meeting tables, lecterns, and walls by the use of HDBaseT transmission, alongside locally connected sources. The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED is designed to be the central component of an automated AV system. Automatic display control is powering the display automatically whenever a source is connected or disconnected. Automatic input selection on the CLSO-612ED works by sensing the presence of any video signal.
The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED is combing the benefits of a scaling switcher with automatic input selection and automatic display control, and the advantages of HDBaseT signal transmission to extend control, Ethernet, AV and control over a single cable. The switcher is enabling the input selection from the RS-232, TCP/IP commands and front panel. The CLSO-612ED is ideal for applications where multiple signals with different resolutions must be optimized for a display. Professional audio features such as a microphone input with 48 volt phantom power and ducking are also included, which is allowing the switcher to address a wide array of AV needs that often encountered in boardrooms, classrooms, training rooms, conference rooms, and other presentation settings. The switcher, in addition to automated input selection, is also can be controlled by the use of the Atlona AT-ANC-108D button control panel.
Automatic Display Control
The CLSO-612ED provides control to a display through TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC*, without the need for a separate control system. This simplifies system design and integration while reducing costs. With automatic display control, the CLSO-612ED can trigger a display to power on automatically whenever a laptop or other device is connected, whether locally to the switcher or over HDBaseT. At the end of the presentation, when the presenter disconnects the laptop, the CLSO-612ED forces the display to power off. Ease of presenter interaction with the system, and the savings incurred by automatic display shutdown provide a significant return on investment. The CLSO-612ED’s display control capability can also be triggered by an external control system.
A power button on the front panel can be used for manual on/off control of either the CLSO-612ED or the display. Front panel volume controls are also available to control the display’s internal audio, or another device with volume control, such as a DSP or another switcher.
* Consumer Electronics Control (CEC): Atlona does not guarantee the function of CEC with all televisions. We can confirm proper operation with many current Samsung, Panasonic, and Sony TVs. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC “off” command when sent from a source and older TVs use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports those TVs that follow CEC command structure from HDMI 1.2a and support the “off” command when issued by a source. We encourage any dealer to get evaluation product from Atlona prior to designing a system around this control technology or be prepared to use other methods to control their displays if Atlona CEC is not compatible with the installed displays.
Reliable Auto-Switching
The CLSO-612ED automatically selects an input source based on detection of the 5 volt hot plug detect (HPD) signal, as well as active video. This ensures reliable auto-switching operation for all video sources, including DVRs, DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort adapters, and other devices that always maintain the HPD line at the 5 volt “high” state but may not be delivering active video.
RS-232 Distribution to Sources and Destinations
A bi-directional RS-232 connection is available at every local input and output on the CLSO-612ED. Along with RS-232 signal distribution built into each HDBaseT link, the switcher has a powerful capability to route control signals to each source and display as a separate zone. The CLSO-612ED lowers the cost of a third-party control system by allowing one with fewer RS-232 interfaces. For further integration convenience, the CLSO-612ED can extend Ethernet from a control processor, and features IP to RS-232 translation for converting TCP/IP commands to RS-232. This provides the flexibility of extending TCP/IP or RS-232 control to remote devices over HDBaseT.
Applications
-
Complete system applications – The CLSO-612ED provides a comprehensive yet value-oriented AV integration solution for classrooms, conference rooms, and other presentation spaces.
(See this featured application as an example, and read about the CLSO-612ED in this case study.) - Lecture halls and various meeting spaces – Presentations may be given from two separate locations, both remote from the lectern, equipment rack, or credenza.
- Conference rooms and meeting rooms – The CLSO-612ED conveniently provides automatic switching and display control for simplified user operation, especially when laptops are brought into the system.
- Presentation spaces where two displays are needed – This switcher can be installed in a lectern to serve a confidence monitor, plus the primary display in a remote location.
Configured and Managed by AMS
The Atlona Management System (AMS) is a powerful network software platform ideal for configuring, managing, and monitoring the CLSO-612ED and other Atlona IP-controllable devices over a LAN, WAN, or VPN. AMS is available free from Atlona, and greatly streamlines installation and maintenance of several Atlona products throughout a facility or enterprise, from a standard web browser.
