Page 15: Configuration
By default, OmniStream products are set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign each encoder/decoder 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. AMS will only be able to discover decoders if they are on the same VLAN. - Page 16 Configuration 5. Under the Domain View, locate the IP address for the decoder. Single-channel decoders will be labeled as OMNI-121. Dual-channel decoders will be labeled as OMNI-122. If no OmniStream devices are found, then make sure that both the decoder and the computer that is running AMS are on the same subnet.

Page 21: Physical Interfaces & Cross Connections
The Virtual Matrix Physical Interfaces & Cross Connections The following example provides a better understanding of how physical interfaces and cross connections work together. Figure 3 shows a very simple setup: two displays are connected to a dual-channel decoder. Both Ethernet cables are connected from the decoder to the Local Area Network (LAN). -
Page 22: Creating Cross Connections
The Virtual Matrix Creating Cross Connections The term physical interface, refers to the Ethernet cable that is connected to each encoder/decoder. Once a cross connection is created, decoding process will automatically begin. To stop the decoding process, refer to Removing Cross Connections (page 24) for more information. - Page 23 The Virtual Matrix 3. Click the Create button to create the cross connection. 4. The following message box will be displayed. If the operation is successful, the dialog will state that a cross connections has been successfully created. The IP address in the message box is the decoder IP address. Decoder IP address 5.

Page 24: Removing Cross Connections
The Virtual Matrix Removing Cross Connections Deleting a cross connection terminates the connection between two physical interfaces. Once deleted, the currently assigned video/audio stream will no longer be able to pass between the encoder and decoder. 1. Right-click on the desired cross connection. Unless the desired cross connection is known, it will be necessary to right-click on the cross connection to display the available options. -
Page 25: Scrambling
The Virtual Matrix Scrambling OmniStream supports 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) scrambling for both audio and video streams. Scrambling can be enabled or disabled through AMS and can be individual applied video, audio, or both, and can be enabled either before or after the decoding process is started. When scrambling is enabled, the scrambling key can be found under the HDMI Output tab on the decoder. -
Page 26: Configuring Redundant Streams
The Virtual Matrix Configuring Redundant Streams OmniStream decoders have the ability to identify damaged or missing streams and will recover the image almost instantaneously. The decoder can access the same stream from two separate multicast addresses and switch between them, when necessary. 1. -

Page 44: Appendix
Appendix FEC Details Matrix Size, Overhead, and Latency • FEC can only work if a single packets from each row/column are missing. Multiple packets missing from each row/column will cause FEC to fail. • Due to the above, a smaller matrix is more robust, as there is a better chance of errors not occurring in the same row/column. -
Page 45: Fec, Latency, And Lip Sync
In order for FEC to work, the matrix must be filled in order to calculate the FEC packets. This introduces some additional latency. Due to high bitrates, this is not noticeable for video, but can be very significant for audio. Therefore, Atlona recommends either leaving FEC disabled for audio or using a very small matrix. •... -
