INTRODUCTION
Atlona Technologies AT-PROHD82M has big switching power in a compact 1U size. AT-PROHD82M is a Multi-
Video Matrix Switcher featuring 8 inputs and 2 outputs; each having both HDMI and VGA connections. Both
outputs are matrix and can display signals from any of the 8 inputs. This allows you to send audio and video
signals across multiple displays and is great for multi-room applications. Be able to display a presentation from
a computer on one display while video conferencing with a client on another at the same time; the possibilities
and applications are endless. The AT-PROHD82M scales the outgoing video signal on both the HDMI and VGA
outputs. The HDMI outputs are capable of displaying 720p and 1080p. The VGA outputs can display resolutions
from SVGA 800x600 to WUXGA 1920x1200. The AT-PROHD82M is also an auto signal sensing switcher. Once
a new device powers on, the AT-PROHD82M will automatically select that source and display it on the selected
output device. It will also take the analog stereo audio from any of the inputs and send it out on the HDMI outputs.
Take control with the On Screen Display, audio volume adjustment for each input, front IR receiver, two rear IR
extensions, RS-232 and RS-485 for third party control systems.
The 8 inputs include:
2 x Composite Video/S-Video + Stereo Audio
2 x Component Video + Stereo Audio
2 x VGA + Stereo Audio
2 x HDMI
The 2 matrix include:
2 x VGA + Stereo Audio
2 x Digital Audio S/PDIF
2 x HDMI
The AT-PROHD82M will automatically detect incoming TV signals in these formats:
NTSC 3.58, NTSC-EIAJ, NTSC 4.43
PAL, PALM, PAL-N, PAL-COMB-N, PAL-60
SECAM
The AT-PROHD82M HDMI inputs support all resolutions: 480i/p, 720p or 1080i/p.
PC resolutions up to 1920x1200 are ideal for high resolution projectors, LCD and Plasma televisions and other
HDTV applications.
Controlling the AT-PROHD82M is provided by front panel buttons with LED indicators, supplied IR remote con-
trol or RS-232. The RS-232 connection is designed to interface with third party control systems and programs.

RS232
The Atlona AT-PROHD82M switcher can be controlled via the RS-232 serial control port to allow for interfacing
to a PC, or similar third party control system.
The serial communication parameters are 9600 baud, 8 bit no parity and 1 stop bit. This is often referred to
as 9600 8N1. When the unit recognizes a complete command it will perform the requested action. There is no
delimiter character required.
The unit does not send out a message when a value is changed from the front panel or by IR control. If the
switcher needs to be controlled in addition to the RS-232 control, you should regularly verify the unit’s status to
ensure the control system accurately reects the current settings.
1. Protocol Commands
To switch Inputs to Outputs
SBI0XO0Y – Where X is,QSXW Number (1-8) and Y is 2XWSXW Number (1-2)
Unit will respond with:
SBUD0XOY – Where X is Output Number (1-2) and Y is Input Number (1-8)
Example: Send Input 7 to Output 2
SBI07O02 – Sending Command
SBUD07O2 – Would be feedback command which switcher will send back to the control system to conrm the
input change. Command received.
Note: Turning the unit System Power Off over RS-232 will extinguish the LED channel display leaving only the
Power Switch LED on. The Video and Audio outputs will also mute. While the unit is turned off by RS0-232 it
will continue to accept and act upon switching commands. For example, if the unit is in the off mode (via RS-
232) and you send a command to switch an input to an output, that route will complete and the video and audio
will now appear on that channel only. The front panel LED channel display for that particular output will also
show the input selected (for that single output channel only).
The remaining LED’s will remain off and video and audio outputs muted. The unit will still return status
and change messages in response to commands sent while in Power Off state. A hard reset command
(SBALLRST) will return the unit to normal operation and also unlock the front panel.
Power OFF Command: SBSYSMOF
Power ON Command: SBSYSMON
Unit will respond with:
Unit is in Standby mode: SBALOFAK
Unit is no longer in Standby mode: SBALONAK
Example: Put unit in Standby (Soft Power) SBSYSMOF
Switcher will have feedback with SBALOFAK
