4K HDR HDMI Over 100 M HDBaseT RX for Opus Series
Matrix Switchers
AT-OPUS-RX
The Atlona AT-OPUS-RX is an HDBaseT receiver for high dynamic range (HDR) formats, designed
for use with the Opus™ Series of HDMI® to HDBaseT™ matrix switchers. The OPUS-RX is
HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, as well
as HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. It receives HDMI, Ethernet pass-through, and bidirectional
IR and RS-232 control signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CAT6a/7 cable. Visually lossless
VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) enables HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 video signal extension
over HDBaseT with little to no latency. For additional integration convenience, the receiver is
remotely powered by an Opus Series matrix switcher through Power over Ethernet (PoE). The
OPUS-RX supports the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC), with the ability to transmit digital
audio from a television back to an AV receiver through the matrix switcher.

RS-232
A 3-pin captive screw connector has been
included for RS-232.
Pin out will be determined by the RS-232 cable
and connect as RX (receive), TX (transmit) and
(Ground).
A 5-pin captive screw connector for IR control has been included. The rst three terminals are IR
inputs to be used with an IR receiver (AT-IR-CS-RX purchased separately through atlona.com),
the last two terminals are for IR outputs to be used with the included IR emitter.
IR OUT is connected by a ground and
signal wire. Use with the included IR
emitter to pass signals to the display
from a control system.
IR IN is connected by a power,
signal, and ground wire. Use with
IR receivers to pass IR signals
back to the transmitter.
