Atlona® OmniStream Dual-Channel Networked AV Encoder

Fully scalable from rooms to campuses and enterprises. Imagine the possibilities.

AV over IP technology lets you realize opportunities for interconnecting AV throughout a facility, building, or across an entire corporate or university campus. Standard IP network hardware replaces the need for fixed matrix switching systems that are difficult to scale.

Built-in security and network error resilience.

OmniStream features selectable AES128 encryption for securing sensitive or protected AV content in government, healthcare, and other environments. OmniStream is also the only AV over IP platform in the industry with SMPTE 2022 forward error correction for ensuring robust performance over large network installations.

The industry’s only platform with redundancy and failover.

Another AV industry first, OmniStream offers features for maximizing uptime with primary and redundant networks and AV streams. The system continuously monitors network and streaming integrity, with automatic failover and recovery in the event of signal loss detection. System redundancy and failover are mainstays with IT systems and best practices.

High density integration for equipment racks and cost efficiency.

The OmniStream 112 and OmniStream 122 process two channels of encoding and decoding in a single, half-width rack enclosure. This enables 12 channels of processing in just 3U of rack space – twice the capability of other systems – while also allowing excellent cost per channel value.

The Atlona OmniStream™ 112 (AT-OMNI-112) is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding for two HDMI 2.0 sources up to 4K @ 60 Hz and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. It is part of the OmniStream Pro Series, designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in commercial audiovisual applications. The OmniStream 112 is HDCP 2.2 compliant and ideal for the latest Ultra High-Definition and HDR sources. It features advanced high-quality, VC-2 visually lossless video compression technology with user-selectable, video quality optimization engines designed for computer-generated imaging, or motion video content. The Atlona OmniStream 112 achieves extremely low, sub-frame latency when paired with OmniStream AV decoders. This dual-channel encoder is housed in a half-width rack enclosure with front-to-back air flow, and is ideal for high-density, compact installation in a centralized equipment location.

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.

Networked AV Redundancy

The OmniStream 112 can provide networked AV system redundancy in conjunction with an OmniStream 122 dual-channel AV decoder. It can deliver two simultaneous encoded streams from an HDMI source, with the two channels connected into primary and redundant networks, and an OmniStream 122 configured to decode both streams simultaneously. The OmniStream 122 can detect the loss of a physical network connection, or disruption in an AV stream, and then automatically switch over to the secondary network for continuous system operation.

Product Compatibility

The OmniStream 112 is compatible with the OmniStream 121 and OmniStream 122 decoders.

Applications

• Enterprises and other large organizations – Maximize AV application flexibility by enabling content sharing within single meeting rooms, or corporate-wide broadcasting to every connected screen.
• Corporate and university campuses with the need to distribute AV between buildings – OmniStream allows virtually unlimited AV system scope and scale. For very large, expansive LANs, SMPTE-standard FEC (Forward Error Correction) ensures robust, reliable image presentation at every endpoint.
• Applications in which any AV content or resource can be shared anywhere in the system – AV over IP technology removes the restrictions associated with interconnecting sources and displays through standard matrix switching architecture.
• Meeting rooms and conference rooms – An IP network infrastructure makes it simple and efficient to design AV systems for small, large, and divisible meeting room configurations, and to centrally manage them throughout a facility. (To learn more, please click here.)
