This Atlona 3x1 HDMI/HDBaseT Switcher with Audio Mixer Amplifier & USB Hub is a comprehensive AV solution designed by Atlona for classrooms and conference rooms. It provides seamless presentation and collaboration with its remote and local AV source switching, mixer/amplifier, and USB hub. The switcher has one HDBaseT and two HDMI inputs, as well as Ethernet, power, control, and USB 2.0 data extension capabilities up to 330'. Connected devices, like laptops and document cameras, can easily be routed to the HDMI output connected to a projector or display.
The integrated mixer/amplifier delivers two channels of 25W or a single channel of 50W into 4 or 8 ohms. It has a balanced stereo audio input and two unbalanced stereo audio inputs with individual level control. It also features a balanced stereo line-level output for assistive listening systems or separate amplifiers.
The USB system of this unit integrates a USB 2.0 host over HDBaseT and supports up to four peripheral devices, such as cameras, interactive displays, keyboards, mice, or storage devices. It is specifically designed for educational settings and includes unique features like ducking, which automatically reduces volume when the presenter speaks into their microphone, and PA sense, which mutes the amplifier output when the school's public address system is active. These functions ensure clear communication of important lesson material and announcements.
For control purposes, this switcher has dual Ethernet ports and two RS-232 ports, allowing for automated operation or integration with third-party control systems. Its sleek and compact enclosure enables flexible mounting options behind a display, under a desk, or on a table.
