Atlona, a Panduit company, has introduced a new versatile HDBaseT receiver in its Omega™ Series of switching, extension, and video processing solutions for modern workspaces and meeting environments. Available immediately, the new AT-OME-RX31 combines dual HDBaseT receivers with three-input switching, 4K/UHD scaling and a local HDMI input in a space-efficient form factor.
Designed specifically for today’s evolving meeting and gathering spaces, Atlona’s Omega Series is a growing family of essential AV system components that provide simple, plug-and-play operation for presentations, video conferencing sessions, and team collaboration. The OME-RX31 builds on its sibling AT-OME-RX21 with two HDBaseT inputs that receive video up to 4K/UHD at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling alongside embedded audio, control and Ethernet over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters). It provides a uniquely simple system design solution for receiving sources from dual remote locations such as podiums, student pods, or a large meeting table.
Automatic input selection auto-switches between the two HDBaseT inputs and the local HDMI interface when sources are connected or removed, enabling effortless, “connect and present” operation for users. High-quality downscaling and upscaling with frame rate conversion preserve color and spatial detail when converting content between 4K and 1080p, making the OME-RX31 perfect for presentation applications in AV environments that use a variety of UHD and HD displays, or for adapting UHD sources to feed 1080p video conferencing hardware codecs.
The OME-RX31 is ideal for use with Atlona’s Omega or UHD-EX Series transmitters – plus Atlona AV presentation switchers with HDBaseT outputs – and can remotely power two HDBaseT transmitters. Additional integration and user convenience features include automated display control; audio de-embedding with five-band EQ; a dual-port Ethernetswitch; contact closure ports for controlling a motorized screen or display lift; trigger I/O ports for an occupancy sensor; aspect ratio control; and test patterns. The OME-RX31 can be remotely managed through the Atlona Management System (AMS) or Atlona’s ground-breaking Velocity™ IP-enabled AV control platform.
“Many meeting and collaboration spaces require multiple locations where participants can connect their AV devices,” said David Shamir, Director of Product Management, Atlona. “With its twin HDBaseT receivers and local HDMI input, the compact and slim OME-RX31 fits neatly behind a display or above a projector, and lets integrators and end users bring multiple sources together while minimizing the equipment required.”
The OME-RX31 is now shipping and is backed by Atlona’s award-winning 10-year limited product warranty and support services. To learn more about the Omega Series, visit atlona.com/omega.
