Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-824 4K/UHD 8x2 Multi-Format Matrix Switcher with Dual HDBaseT/Mirrored HDMI

The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-824 is an 8×2, 4K/UHD @ 60Hz matrix switcher with multi-format signal-handling, Ethernet-enabled 100-meter HDBaseT input/output extension, and advanced audio capabilities.

Inputs

• Three Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT inputs
• Four HDMI inputs
• One multi-function analog video input

Outputs:

• Two Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT outputs, each with a mirrored HDMI output

Presentation Matrix Switcher

The AT-UHD-CLSO-824 brings advanced multi-format matrix switching to the CLSO series of classroom and small office switchers. The mix of inputs supports 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.

100-meter HDBaseT Routing

The AT-UHD-CLSO-824 offers three Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT inputs designed to provide system design flexibility. To increase the number of system inputs, designers can choose the AT-HDVS-200-TX HDBaseT transmitter that offers HDMI and VGA inputs with Ethernet or the AT-HDVS-150-TX HDBaseT transmitter that offers HDMI and VGA inputs without Ethernet. The switcher is also compatible with the UHD-EX Series of HDBaseT extenders for HDMI signals with or without control signals. Two HDBaseT outputs on the switcher provide extended distance AV signal extension up to 328 feet (100 m). These outputs are Ethernet-enabled to also provide extension of control signals to displays. All HDBaseT inputs and outputs feature industry standard Power over Ethernet to remotely power extender endpoints.

Audio

Sophisticated matrixing capabilities within the switcher include a dedicated audio mix-matrix for signals routed to the switcher's outputs. This gives integrators the ability to mix audio signals from either of the two selected video sources along with both mic/line input signals. Audio is de-embedded from the video signal for processing and mixing with the mic/line sources. The resulting audio mix is sent to the balanced line level analog outputs and re-embedded to the digital video outputs.

The CLSO for complex systems

The AT-UHD-CLSO-824 serves as the centerpiece of complex systems where audio and video signals must be dedicated to different zones. It also provides the flexibility to route identical or separate video signals to the two displays in larger rooms.

The AT-UHD-CLSO-824 is ideal for use in:

• Dual-screen classrooms, conference rooms, or training environments
• Divisible rooms with one screen per room
• Single-screen teleconference systems where content is required at the codec

Features

8×2 matrix switcher with HDBaseT and HDMI ports for each output

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

Three HDBaseT inputs

• Works with Atlona AT-HDVS-150 or AT-HDVS-200 transmitters for placement at remote sources near lecterns, conference tables, and instructor's desks

Audio output matrix mixer

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

Two, balanced, stereo audio outputs on 6-pin captive screw connectors

• Maintains proper audio gain structure between commercial line level devices; eliminates adaptors
• Designed for use with analog 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 feet (100 meters)
• Eliminates cost associated with extra extension components; simplifies installation. HDMI output allows additional HDBaseT transmitter for dual, long distance applications
