  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction The Atlona OmniStream™ 111 (AT-OMNI-111) is a networked AV encoder for one HDMI source up to 4K/UHD, plus embedded audio and RS-232 control. The Atlona OmniStream™ 112 (AT-OMNI-112) adds a second channel of encoding for two HDMI sources up to 4K/UHD and RS-232 control and can deliver duplicate AV streams to two networks for full system redundancy in mission-critical applications.

  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation External Power (Optional) OmniStream encoders are powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet), when connected to a PoE-capable switch. If a PoE-switch is not used, then the optional 48 V power supply (Atlona part no. AT-PS-48083-C) can be purchased, separately. Insert the positive and negative leads, from the power supply, into the terminals of the 2-pin captive screw connector block, as shown.

  • Page 13: Ir Connections

    Installation IR Connections The same port that provides RS-232 connections also supports bidirectional IR pass-through, allowing a device to be controlled from either the headend or the decoder endpoint. This step is optional. IR control is only supported on RS-232 2 port (bottom set of connectors). Refer to IR Control (page 33) for configuration details.

  • Page 14: Connection Instructions

    Installation Connection Instructions 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the ETHERNET port on the encoder to a PoE-capable switch on the Local Area Network (LAN). If using the dual-channel encoder, connect a separate Ethernet cables to ETHERNET 1 and ETHERNET 2 ports. IMPORTANT: If a PoE-capable switch is not available, then the 48V DC power supply (sold separately) must be connected to the encoder.

  • Page 16: Configuration

    Configuration Accessing Encoders in AMS It is recommended that the Atlona Management System (AMS) be used to configure and control OmniStream devices. AMS uses multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS) to automatically discover each encoder on the network. AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://www.atlona.com/ams. By default, the encoders are set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign the encoder an IP address.
  • Page 17 Configuration 6. Click Devices from the fly-out menu. 7. Click the Unassigned option. 8. Click the left and right arrows, at the bottom of the Unassigned list, to scroll through all available devices. Arrow buttons AT-OMNI-111 / AT-OMNI-112...
  • Page 18 Configuration All available encoders will be displayed under the Unassigned category. When an encoder is unassigned, it means that it has not been assigned to a site, building, and/or room. Refer to the AMS User Manual for more information on these topics. If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, the encoder will be placed in Auto IP mode and assigned an IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
  • Page 19 Configuration 11. Click SESSION in the top menu bar. 12. Locate the Video section. 13. Delete the value in the Destination Multicast / Unicast Address field.

  • Page 20: Configuring A Static Ip Address

    Configuration Configuring a Static IP Address The following section is only required to when setting an encoder to a static IP address. If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, encoders are automatically placed in Auto IP mode and will be assigned an IP address within the range 169.254.xxx.xxx.

  • Page 21: Input Selection

    Configuration Input Selection Once the OmniStream encoder is configured, and can be located on the network, the encoder will need to be instructed on how to handle source devices and to which stream each source is assigned. Input Selection 1. Under AMS, click INPUT in the menu bar. 2.

  • Page 22: Verifying The Input

    Configuration Dual-channel encoder only: 7. Repeat the above steps for the Encoder 2 section (dual-channel OmniStream only). If a secondary HDMI source is not connected to the encoder, then these fields may be left at their current settings. Dual-channel / single-channel encoder: 8.

  • Page 23: Session Configuration

    Configuration Session Configuration Once the inputs have been assigned to the desired source, the next step is to configure each session. A session is a class-D multicast IP address that is assigned to an AV stream. If each stream is configured for bit rates less than 450 Mbps (only recommended for 1080p and lower resolutions), a single Ethernet cable can transport two sessions.

  • Page 24: Basic Operation

    Basic Operation LED Indicators The following table provides a listing of front-panel LED indicators and their status: Description • If using a PoE switch, make sure that the port on the switch that is connected to the encoder, has PoE enabled. When the encoder is powered using PoE, the PWR indicator will be green.

  • Page 26: Adjusting Volume

    Basic Operation Adjusting Volume Refer to the OmniStream Single-Channel / Dual Channel A/V Decoder User Manual, for configuration information. Press and release the (up) or (down) VOLUME buttons to increase or decrease the audio volume, respectively, in 1 dB increments. The volume command is sent over IP. After the decoder receives the command, it is executed and transmitted to the display using RS-232 and/or CEC.

    Basic Operation ID Button The ID button, on both the AT-OMNI-111 and AT-OMNI-112, serves two functions: 1. Sends a broadcast message over the network to any devices that may be listening. 2. Resets the encoder to factory-default settings. DISPLAY INPUT HDMI LINK VOLUME...

  • Page 28: Input Switching Configuration

    Basic Operation Input Switching Configuration IMPORTANT: This feature is not available on the single-channel OmniStream encoder (AT- OMNI-111). The INPUT button on the front panel can be configured to switch between both HDMI inputs. This is useful in meeting room applications, allowing switching between two sources. Note that when configuring input switching, one of the encoder sessions will be lost, causing dual-channel encoders to function as single-channel encoders.

  • Page 29: Unicast Mode

    Basic Operation Unicast Mode The term unicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from an encoder to a single decoder. Although it is common to have multiple encoder and decoder units within a system, it may also be desirable to restrict a single encoder to communicate with one decoder.
  • Page 30 Basic Operation 5. Go to the decoder AMS interface. Refer to the OmniStream Single-Channel / Dual Channel A/V Decoder User Manual, if necessary. 6. Click IP INPUT from the menu. 7. Remove the IP address from the Multicast Address field. 8.

  • Page 31: Multicast Mode

    Basic Operation Multicast Mode The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single encoder can transmit data to multiple decoders. In addition, if multiple encoders are used, each encoder can stream data to any decoder that is not already receiving data from an encoder.

  • Page 52 Advanced Operation RS232 Passthrough This is the most basic option: the control system (DTE device) sends RS-232 commands from the encoder, downstream, to the decoder. The RS-232 commands are then received by a display (DCE device) or other sink device. 1.
  • Page 53 Advanced Operation Serial over IP Proxy (TCP Proxy) This method is used to send IP commands directly to the decoder, which are then output over RS-232 to the display (sink) device. 1. Select Serial over IP Proxy from the Serial Mode drop-down list. If it is not listed, make sure that the Advanced button is clicked, at the bottom of the dialog.

  • Page 54: 802.1X Authentication

    Advanced Operation 802.1X Authentication 802.1X is a server-based port authentication which restricts unauthorized (rogue) clients from connecting to a Local Area Network through a public port. In its simplest form, 802.1X usually involves three parties: supplicant (client device), authenticator (Ethernet switch or WAP), and an authentication server. Before the device is permitted on the network, port communication is restricted to Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) traffic.

  • Page 97: Fec Details

    Appendix FEC Details Matrix Size, Overhead, and Latency • FEC can only work if a single packet from each row/column is 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 98: Fec, Latency, And Lip Sync

    Appendix 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.
