Atlona 4K/UHD 8x2 Multi-Format Matrix Switcher with Dual HDBaseT/Mirrored HDMI

Description

This Atlona 8x2 is a multi-format matrix switcher supporting DCI 4K and Ultra HD 4K resolutions at 60 Hz (4096 x 2160 and 3840 x 2160). Designed for use in classrooms and small offices, it features a mix of inputs supporting remote sources at lecterns and conference room tables via HDBaseT transmission, as well as local sources in the equipment rack. The matrix serves a wide array of room configurations with two HDBaseT video outputs, each featuring a mirrored HDMI port to provide an additional output for a local display or an Atlona Extender Kit.

Features

8x2 with HDBaseT/HDMI per Output

• Eight different sources may be switched to either of two outputs with mirrored HDBaseT/HDMI signals
• Serves a wide array of room configurations

3 HDBaseT Inputs

• Works with optional Atlona AT-HDVS-150 or AT-HDVS-200 transmitters for placement at remote sources near lecterns, conference tables, and instructor's desks
• Simplifies integration of remote sources by eliminating power supplies when used with PoE-powered transmitters; single CAT cable carries AV signals, control, and power

4 HDMI Inputs

• Digital inputs to support up to four HDMI sources or DisplayPort and DVI sources with appropriate adapters
• Ideal for sources located at the equipment rack

Multi-Function Analogue Input on 15-Pin HD Connector

• Accepts RGBHV and component signals using common adapters and breakout cables
• Provides input options for legacy analogue sources

2 Ethernet-Enabled, HDBaseT Outputs

• Extends control signals from third party control processors via HDBaseT along with 4K/UHD video, and audio through a single cable with 328 ft performance
• Network connections simplify control system design
• Eliminates multiple cable runs between source, control system router, and display

Audio Output Matrix Mixer

• Mixes de-embedded digital audio along with analogue mic/line level inputs and routes to analogue outputs or re-embed to video outputs
• Eliminates the need for complex external audio routing systems

2 Balanced Stereo Audio Outputs on 6-Pin Captive Screw Connectors

• Maintains proper audio gain structure between commercial line level devices; eliminates adapters
• Designed for use with analogue commercial sound systems

Mirrored Outputs on HDBaseT and HDMI

• Each matrix output supports dual display applications for a local display and extended distance displays up to 328 ft (100m)
• Eliminates cost associated with extra extension components; simplifies installation
• HDMI output allows additional HDBaseT transmitter for dual, long distance applications

4K/UHD @ 60 Hz Capability

• Compatible with Ultra HD sources and displays up to 4K at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 colour subsampling
• Supports high resolution applications such as CAD, desktop publishing, and detailed financial reporting

PoE for Remote-Powered HDBaseT Receivers

• Industry standard IEEE 802.3af PoE supplied by the switcher over HDBaseT
• No local AC outlet required -- saves time and integration costs

TCP/IP, RS-232, and IR Control

• Compatibility with third-party control systems provides flexible control options
• Reduces integration time and costs

EDID Management

• Manages EDID communications between source and switcher; allows integrators to force sources to preferred resolution
• Ensures desired audio formats and video resolutions are provided to the AV system; eliminates the need for EDID management device

HDCP Management

• Allows non-protected material from PCs to pass to non-compliant displays and teleconference systems while protected content is not transmitted
• HDCP compliance can be switched on/off from control systems for use with non-compliant displays, streaming devices, and codecs

2 Balanced Line/Mic Inputs with 48V Phantom Power

• Provides professional audio input for wired and wireless microphones
• Saves installation costs by eliminating external audio mixer

Microphone Ducking with Advanced Controls

• Automatically reduces programme audio levels when mic is used
• Ensures optimised voice-over performance

Audio De-Embedding

• De-embeds PCM audio from HDMI inputs to audio out matrix
• Provides audio signal routing to sound system

Adjustable Volume and AEQ

• Independent gain control for each input, master audio level controls 5 band AEQ adjustment
• Optimises audio signals, eliminating the need for an external mixer

Front Panel Volume and Mute Controls

• Volume Up and Volume Down through menu to adjust output level to sound system
• Provides quick level adjustment for operators

GUI-Based Configuration using Integrated Web Server

• Offers menu-based configuration of network settings, RS-232 settings, input switching, EDID and HDCP management and audio
• Allows fast configuration of internal product settings and troubleshooting from a tablet, smart phone, or PC in the field

IP to RS-232 Translation#

• Converts TCP/IP commands to RS-232 commands for output to external devices
• Enables single IP connection to control processor to control both IP and RS-232 connected devices

Ten RS-232 Ports

• Multiple, bi-directional, RS-232 ports to control other devices in the system
• Reduces cost associated with complex control processors

Ethernet, RS-232, and IR HDBaseT Insertion

• Adds control signals to the HDBaseT transmission including Ethernet, RS-232, and bi-directional IR
• Simplifies display control from third-party control systems

Multi-Channel Audio Compliant

• Supports PCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS Digital Surround, and DTS-HD Master Audio in pass-through mode
• Allows any 2-channel audio stream to be used within a professional audio system

Rack Mountable 1U, Full-Rack Width Enclosure

• Instals easily in rack mounted systems with included 19" rack and wall mount brackets
• Reduces installation time and cost
