OmniStream R-Type Dual-Channel Networked AV Encoder
AT-OMNI-512
The Atlona AT-OMNI-512 is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding
for two HDMI sources up to 4K/60 4:4:4 and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded
audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. OmniStream is designed for high performance,
exible distribution of AV over standard, o-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in commercial
audiovisual applications. The OMNI-512 features the advanced VCx™ codec which delivers
4K/60 4:4:4 video from encode to decode, with artifact-free presentation of computer-generated
content and fast-motion video, and ultra-low latency less than one frame. This dual-channel
encoder is housed in a half-width rack enclosure with front-to-back air ow, and is ideal for high-
density, compact installation in a centralized equipment location.

Installation Guide
AT-OMNI-512
The AT-OMNI-512 encoder includes two
mounting brackets and four mounting screws,
which can be used to attach the unit to any at
surface.
1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove
the two screws from the left side of the
enclosure.
2. Position one of the mounting brackets, as
shown below, aligning the holes on the
side of the enclosure with one set of holes
on the mounting bracket.
3. Use the enclosure screws to secure the
mounting bracket to the enclosure.
4. To provide added stability to the mounting
bracket, use two of the included screws
and attach them to the two holes, directly
below the enclosure screws, as shown
above.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to attach the
second mounting bracket to the opposite
side of the unit.
6. Mount the unit using the oval-shaped
holes, on each mounting bracket. If using
a drywall surface, a #6 drywall screw is
recommended.

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.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from each HD/Ultra HD source to the HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 ports on
the encoder.
3. If using RS-232 and/or IR, connect the 6-pin captive-screw connector to the RS-232 / IR
port on the encoder.
4. The PWR indicator, on the front panel, displays the power status of the encoder. When the
encoder is powered, using either PoE or the optional 48V DC power supply (not included),
the LED initially turns red. After a few moments it will turn amber, and nally green.
Installation
The AT-OMNI-512 is powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet), when connected to a PoE-capable
switch. If a PoE-switch is not used, then the optional 48 V power supply (Atlona part no. AT-PS-
48083-C) can be purchased, separately. Insert the positive and negative leads, from the power
supply, into the terminals of the 2-pin captive screw connector block, as shown. The orange
2-pin captive screw connector block is included with the OmniStream power supply package.

Installation Guide
AT-OMNI-512
The AT-OMNI-512 provides transport of RS-232 protocol over IP which allows communication
between a control system and an RS-232 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.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal on the included push-spring
connector, following the wiring diagram below. If using non-tinned stranded wire, press the
orange tab, above the terminal, while inserting the exposed wire.
NOTE: Typical DB9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for ground.
On some devices, the function of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.

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. IR control is supported on both RS-232 connectors.
