HDMI Over HDBaseT TX/RX with USB, Control, and PoE
AT-OME-EX-KIT
The Atlona AT-OME-EX-KIT is an HDBaseT extender for video up to 4K/60 4:2:0, plus
embedded audio, control, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters).
Part of the Omega™Series of integration products for modern AV communications and
collaboration, the OME-EX-KIT is HDCP 2.2 compliant and extends IR, RS-232, and IP control
signals. The integrated USB extension is ideal for software video conferencing and the use of
touch or interactive displays. The OME-EX-TX transmitter includes a USB host port for a PC,
plus two peripheral devices such as a speakerphone, microphone, or keyboard and mouse. The
OME-EX-RX receiver provides two USB 2.0 interfaces for devices such as a camera or display.
The transmitter and receiver are available separately, for use with other Omega Series integration
products.*
* Both the AT-OME-EX-TX and AT-OME-EX-RX are not compatible with the AT-UHD-HDVS-300
system for extending USB.

Installation Guide
AT-OME-EX-KIT
The AT-OME-EX-KIT provides pass-through transport of RS-232 protocol and/or IR over
HDBaseT, which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 or IR device.
This step is optional.
1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket.
2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires for the RS-
232 connection.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 4-pin
captive screw connectors.
4. Repeat step 2 for the S and GND wires for the IR connection.
5. Insert the S (signal) wire in to the TX terminal and the ground wire to the GND terminal.
6. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use high-
torque devices to prevent damage to the connector block.
NOTE: Typical DB9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for
ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed. Note that the
signal (S) pin for the IR is labeled as “TX” on the port.

Installation Guide
AT-OME-EX-KIT
Requirements:
• AT-OME-EX-TX
• AT-OME-EX-RX
• Firmware le
• Computer running Windows
• USB-A to USB mini-B cable
1. Disconnect power from the unit.
2. Connect a USB-A to USB mini-B cable between the PC and the FW port on the unit.
3. Power the unit. If updating the AT-OME-EX-TX, then make sure the receiver is powered
using the included power supply and a category cable is connected between the HDBaseT
ports of both the transmitter and receiver units.
4. The USB UPDATE folder will be displayed. If this folder is not displayed, automatically,
select the USB UPDATE drive from Windows Explorer.
NOTE: The procedure outlines the update process for the AT-OME-EX-TX.
However, the same procedure applies to the AT-OME-EX-RX. The AT-OME-EX-
TX and AT-OME-EX-RX can be updated in any order. The update process, for
each unit, can take up to ve minutes to complete.
5. Delete all les from the USB UPDATE drive, if any are present.
6. Drag-and-drop the rmware le to the drive.
7. The PWR LED indicator, on the front panel, will ash green while the unit is being updated.
Do not disconnect the USB cable during the update process. When the PWR LED stops
ashing and is solid green, the update process will be complete.
8. Disconnect the USB cable from the unit and repeat the above steps for the AT-OME-EX-RX.
