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