Page 9: Introduction
Introduction The Atlona OmniStream™ R-Type (AT-OMNI-512) is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding for two HDMI sources up to UHD @ 60 Hz and HDR, plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass- through. It is part of the OmniStream R-Type Series, designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over Gigabit Ethernet in residential and light commercial applications. -

AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://www.atlona.com/ams. By default, the AT-OMNI-512 is set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign the encoder an IP address. Once an IP address has been assigned, the Atlona Management System (AMS) can be used to manage the product on the network. - Page 17 If no AT-OMNI-512 encoders are found, then verify the following: • The computer that is running AMS must be on the same network as the AT-OMNI-512. • Remove any network restrictions that may be in place. In order for mDNS to function properly, there must not be restrictions applied to the network.
