Package Contents
The Atlona AT-OME-MS42 is a 4x2 matrix switcher with HDMI, USB-C, and DisplayPort inputs,
plus HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. Part of the Omega™ Series of integration products for modern
AV communications and collaboration, the OME-MS42 is HDCP 2.2 compliant and features
HDBaseT extension for video up to 4K/60 4:2:0, plus embedded audio, control, Ethernet, and
USB over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters). All inputs and the local HDMI output support
4K HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 at HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. Additionally, 4K downscaling to
1080p @ 60, 30, or 24 Hz is available for the HDMI output when connected to an HD sink. The
integrated USB extension addresses the challenge of connecting between USB devices at
remote locations, and is ideal for software video conferencing and touch or interactive displays.
The OME-MS42 includes USB 2.0 and USB-C interfaces for three host PCs, plus two peripheral
devices such as a camera, microphone, speakerphone, or keyboard and mouse. It is ideal for
video conferencing and many other 4K presentation applications with the OME-EX-RX receiver
and OME-SR21 scaling receiver.
