Overview
The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED is an advanced six-input, multi-format switcher with 4K scaling, Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT and PoE capabilities. It simplifies classroom and small office system integration by providing two HDBaseT inputs, two HDMI inputs, two multi-function analog inputs, plus mirrored HDBaseT and HDMI outputs. Advanced Automatic System Control (AASC) features on the switcher provide automatic display control and automatic input selection. Ethernet pass through on the switcher enables control signal pass-through and Internet distribution. The AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED contains a full RS-232 signal distribution system to route control signals to local sources and displays.¦The AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED is designed to be the central component of an automated AV system. Automatic display control turns on the display automatically whenever a source is connected. When the source is removed, the display is turned off. Volume is controlled by using the front panel buttons and by RS-232 or TCP/IP commands. With automated input selection for active input selection, third-party control systems can be eliminated.
  • Reliable auto-switching
  • RS-232 distribution to sources and destinations
  • Microphone input with ducking
  • Automatic display control
Reliable auto-switching Automatic input selection on the AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED detects an active video signal, rather than looking for the 5-volt, hot plug signal. This means that devices such as DVRs, DisplayPort adaptors and other devices that keep the 5 V hot, no longer trigger the automatic input selection. This gives far more reliable performance with these products. RS-232 distribution to sources and destinations A bidirectional RS-232 connection is available at every local input and output on the AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED. Along with RS-232 signal distribution built into each HDBaseT link, the switcher has a powerful capability to route control signals to each source, display and into each zone. The switcher lowers the cost of a third-party control system by allowing one with fewer RS-232 interfaces. Microphone input with ducking Professional audio features such as a microphone input with 48 V phantom power and ducking are also included, allowing the switcher to address a wide array of AV switching and processing needs often encountered in classrooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms, and other presentation settings. Automatic display control The AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED allows display control using CEC, TCP/IP or RS-232 signals. This means that many more types of displays can be controlled, costs are reduced, and that wiring is simplified. In a commercial setting, when a switcher is integrated with a display, the AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED forces the display to power on automatically when a laptop is connected. At the end of the presentation, when the presenter disconnects the laptop, the AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED forces the display to power off. Ease of presenter interaction with the system and the savings incurred by auto-display shutdown provide a significant return on investment.
