Applications

• Complete system integration – The OME-RX21 and an Omega Series switcher / transmitter provide a compact, yet comprehensive and cost-effective integration solution.
• Larger system applications – The OME-RX21 is ideal for extending AV and control, from a switcher in an equipment rack to a remote display. Built-in 4K scaling optimizes content for 4K and HD displays.

Technical Features

HDBaseT receiver with local HDMI input

• Two-input switcher with HDBaseT and HDMI inputs
• HDMI input is ideal for a wireless gateway, PC, video conferencing codec, or media player installed near a display

Video, audio, power, and data over category cable utilizing HDBaseT technology

• Receives 4K/UHD video up to 330 feet (100 meters) with CAT6/6a/7 cable, or up to 295 feet (90 meters) using CAT5e cable
• Uses easy-to-integrate category cable for low-cost, reliable system installation

4K/UHD capability @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling for HDMI input and output

• HDBaseT input supports 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling
• HDMI input supports UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling

HDCP 2.2 compliant

• Adheres to latest specification for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection*
• Allows protected content stream to pass between authenticated devices
• * HDBaseT transmitter or switcher must also be HDCP 2.2 compliant.

Advanced 4K/UHD scaling with selectable frame rate conversion

• Ensure optimal image presentations with optimization settings and internal test patterns
• Selectable pass-through mode (scaler bypass mode) for 1:1 image output
• Ability to upsample incoming 4:2:0 video to 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 (for displays that do not support 4:2:0)

4K/UHD downscaling and upscaling

• Preserves color and spatial detail when down-converting 4K content to 1080p or vice versa
• Ideal for presentation applications where content is to be viewed on a variety of 4K and HD displays
• Also ideal for downscaling to 1080p for hardware video conferencing codecs

Aspect ratio control

• The aspect ratio of the video can be adjusted to a desired presentation viewing format
• Aspect ratio options include Fill (content fills the display), and Follow (keep original aspect ratio)

Advanced motion-adaptive deinterlacing for 1080i input signals

• Optimizes presentation of 1080i source content such as television broadcasting
• Frame conversion for 1080 interlacing and de-interlacing

Internal video test patterns for setup, calibration, and troubleshooting

• Includes color bars, crosshatch, and grayscale
• Test patterns facilitate setting up displays, validating system performance, and diagnosing image display or signal connectivity issues

Local powering

• Supplies IEEE 802.3af PoE over HDBaseT to an Omega Series transmitter. Includes AC power supply.

Automatic display control

• Automatically changes display power state based on active or standby mode of the scaler. Control signals to display are transmitted via IP, RS-232, or CEC.
• Enables display and volume control. CEC enables control of consumer displays (as supported by the display manufacturer).
• Includes an adjustable lamp cooldown mode to avoid prematurely powering up a projector after shutdown
• Eliminates the need for a complex AV control system

Automatic input selection using hot plug detect and video detection technology

• Selects active input when sources are connected or if there is a change in source power status
• Enables simplified, automatic system operation without user intervention

Audio de-embedding

• De-embeds two channel PCM audio from any video source to a balanced, analog audio output
• Independent volume and mute controls for embedded and de-embedded two-channel PCM audio, plus five-band EQ for the analog audio output

Multi-channel audio compliant

• Passes through multi-channel audio formats from the HDMI or HDBaseT inputs
• Supports PCM, Dolby^® Digital, Dolby Digital Plus™, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos^®, DTS^® Digital Surround™, DTS-HD Master Audio™, and DTS:X^®

EDID management

• Manages EDID communications with the source through a display’s EDID or internally stored EDID
• Ensures desired audio formats and video resolutions are provided to the AV system

HDCP management

• Automatically reports HDCP compliance status to the source based on the sink device
• HDCP compliance can also be disengaged through Velocity Device Manager or a control system
• Allows non-protected material from PCs to pass to non-compliant displays, streaming devices, and teleconference systems; protected content is not transmitted
• Displays a green splash screen as visual confirmation that protected content is being blocked from transmission to a non-compliant display

Intuitive GUI-based configuration using integrated web server

• Offers menu-based configuration of device settings including network access, input switching, signal processing, display control, HDCP and EDID management, and more
• Allows fast configuration of internal product settings and troubleshooting from a mobile device or PC in the field

TCP/IP and RS-232 control

• Flexible control options for compatibility with the Atlona Velocity™ control system, as well as other third-party control systems
• Reduces integration time and costs

Dual Ethernet ports and integrated network switch

• Allows a single connection to an AV LAN for IP control of a display and the OME-RX21 (plus transmitter or switcher over HDBaseT)
• Simplify system design and integration with just one network drop for AV system control

Two relays provide control for motorized screen, shades, or display lift

• Contact closure triggers electronic screen or lift operation based on active or standby mode of the switcher / scaler
• Automates screen or lift activation at system power-up; eliminates need for a separate AV control system

Easy to configure and manage with Velocity Device Manager

• Centralized, network-based configuration and management of Atlona IP-controllable products and systems
• Manage configuration and firmware updates for AV devices spanning a facility, building, enterprise, or residence
• Available as a part of Velocity control systems or as a free virtual machine software download
