Atlona AT-OMNI-121 Single-Channel Networked AV Decoder
The Atlona AT-OMNI-121 (Atlona OmniStream™ 121) is a single-channel networked AV decoder for HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 output that can support resolutions for up to 4K @ 60 Hz and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus audio embedding and de-embedding, and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. The Atlona AT-OMNI-121 is a part of the OmniStream Pro Series, that are designed for flexible, high performance distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in commercial audiovisual applications. It features video quality optimization engines designed for motion video content, or computer-generated imaging, that is included in advanced high-quality, VC-2 visually lossless video decoding technology with user-selectable. The Atlona OmniStream 121 is achieving extremely low, sub-frame latency when paired with OmniStream AV encoders. This single-channel decoder is contained in a half-width rack enclosure with front-to-back air flow, and is ideal for high-density, compact installation in distributed, multi-display installations.
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 121 is compatible with the OmniStream 111 and OmniStream 112 encoders, and the OmniStream 232 Dante networked audio interface.
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.
(See this featured application as an example. -
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.
(See this featured application as an example.) - 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.
- Meeting rooms and conference rooms – An IP network infrastructure makes it simple and efficient to design AV systems for small, large, and divisible meeting room configurations, and to centrally manage them throughout a facility. (To learn more, please click here.)
