  • 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.

  • Page 11: Installation

    Installation RS-232 Connections The AT-OMNI-512 provides RS-232 over IP which allows communication between an automation system and an RS- 232 device. This step is optional. Either the top three or bottom three set of terminals can be used for RS-232. 1.

  • Page 12: 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. Either the top three or bottom three set of terminals can be used for IR. Only the RS-232 2 port (bottom set of connectors) supports both RS-232 and IR.
  • Page 13 Installation For downstream IR control, either multicast or unicast mode can be used. However, when controlling a source from the decoder (viewing location), unicast mode should be used. Refer to Unicast Mode (page 25) Multicast Mode (page 27) for more information. AT-OMNI-IR-TX SIGNAL GROUND...

  • Page 14: Connection Instructions

    Installation Connection Instructions 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the ETHERNET 1 and ETHERNET 2 ports on the encoder to a PoE-capable switch on the Local Area Network (LAN). Note that if a PoE-capable switch is not available, 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 AT-OMNI-512 is 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-512...
  • 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. Destination Multicast/Unicast Address field 14. Locate the Audio section and delete the value in the Destination Multicast / Unicast Address field. Destination Multicast/Unicast Address field SAVE button 15.

  • Page 20: Configuring A Static Ip Address

    Configuration Configuring a Static IP Address The following section is only required to set the AT-OMNI-512 encoder, currently in Auto IP mode, 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: 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 23: 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 24: Id Button

    Basic Operation ID Button The ID button 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. HDMI LINK TREAM RX TX Broadcast Messaging Press and release the ID button to send a broadcast notification over the network to any devices that may be listening.

  • Page 25: 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 26 Basic Operation 5. Go to the decoder AMS interface. Refer to the OmniStream R-Type 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. Click the SAVE button to commit changes. Field should be blank 9.

  • Page 27: 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 29: Aes67 Audio

    Basic Operation AES67 Audio AES67 audio is a standard for high-performance audio streaming over IP, providing several features such as synchronization, media clock identification, and connection management. AES67 does not support bitstream/ compressed audio formats, such as Dolby® Digital, and others. Source audio must be transmitted as LPCM up to eight channels at 192 kHz / 24-bit.

  • Page 30: Edid Management

    Basic Operation EDID Management OmniStream encoders provide EDID management for each input. The encoder can be assigned one of several included EDID presets or can be assigned a custom EDID. Raw EDID data can be copied from displays or other sink devices, that are connected to OmniStream decoders.
  • Page 31 Basic Operation 6. Enter the EDID data in the Raw EDID field. EDID data can be copy and pasted from an EDID editor and must be in hexadecimal format. Commas or spaces can be included as delimiters to separate each hexadecimal value. 7.

  • Page 32: Copying An Edid From The Display

    Basic Operation Copying an EDID from the Display In order to allow the source device to send all AV formats that are supported by the display device, the EDID from the decoder must be copied to the encoder. Access to a decoder will be required. 1.
  • Page 33 Basic Operation 5. Select the desired encoder, within AMS. 6. Click INPUT in the menu bar. 7. Click the EDID drop-down list, in the desired HDMI Input window group. 8. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select + Add Custom EDID. Add Custom EDID 9.

  • Page 34: Advanced Operation

    Advanced Operation Scrambling OmniStream supports 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) scrambling and is required for HDCP-encrypted streams. Scrambling can be enabled or disabled through AMS, and can be applied to individual sessions. In order for scrambling to function properly, it must be enabled on both the encoder session and all decoders subscribed to a stream that is a part of a scrambled session.

  • Page 35: Using The Virtual Matrix

    Advanced Operation Using the Virtual Matrix 1. Access the Virtual Matrix. Refer to The Virtual Matrix (page 57) for more information. 2. Locate the desired encoder or decoder. Scrambling is handled on the encoder; descrambling is handled on the decoder. 3.

  • Page 36: Slate / Logo Insertion

    Advanced Operation Slate / Logo Insertion Slate / logo insertion is managed from within AMS.
