Title

Atlona AT-OMNI-521 Single-Channel Networked AV Decoder

The Atlona AT-OMNI-521 (Atlona OmniStream™ 521) is a single-channel networked AV decoder designed for HDR (High Dynamic Range) and HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 output supporting resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz, and IR pass-through or RS-232. The Atlona AT-OMNI-521 is a part of the OmniStream R-Type Series that are designed for flexible, high performance distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in light commercial and residential audiovisual applications. The Atlona AT-OMNI-521 is HDCP 2.2 compliant and ideal for the HDR sources and latest Ultra High-Definition. It features advanced high-quality, VC-2 visually lossless video compression, optimized for motion video content. The Atlona OmniStream 521 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 compact, high-density 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.

OmniStream product compatibility

The OmniStream 521 is compatible with the OmniStream 512 encoder as well as the OmniStream 111, 112, and 111-WP Pro-series encoders when Video Optimization is set to Motion Video.

Applications

  • Multi-room or whole-house AV systems – OmniStream R-Type enables cost-effective system design, allowing the connection of any number of sources to any number of displays, throughout a residence. OmniStream delivers equal performance over new or legacy network cable infrastructure, including CAT 5e.
  • Bars, restaurants, offices, meeting spaces, and other commercial environments – Expand the system by adding encoders and decoders, making video wall, digital signage, and many other applications simple and easy.
  • Home theater and gaming – OmniStream R-Type delivers the uncompromising performance of traditional baseband video systems, making it ideal for applications where both image quality and low latency are crucial.
