Atlona Professional solutions on display at CEDIA EXPO 2011 will include the new AT-DVI4-100SR and AT-HD4-V110SR extender kits featuring HDBaseT technology, which extend DVI and HDMI transmissions up to 350 feet with resolutions up to 4Kx2K over a single Cat 5/6/7 cable, while providing bidirectional RS-232, IR, and Ethernet pass through. The AT-DVI4-100SRis fully HDCP and EDID compliant. In addition, the AT-HD4-V110SR provides support for Deep Color, HDCP, and full 3D, while preserving 7.1-channel digital audio, including DTS-HD and Dolby^® TrueHD.  

 

Atlona will also highlight a number of high-speed HDMI switchers at CEDIA. On display will be the AT-PRO2HD88M-SR (CustomRetailer EXCITE award winner) and AT-PRO2HD1616M-SR HDMI matrix switchers, which features eight or 16 HDMI 1.4 inputs and independently switchable twisted pair outputs to feed eight or 16 separate receiver modules (included). Featuring HDBaseT technology, the switchers extend HDMI sources up to 330 feet at 4Kx2K resolution over a single Cat 5/6/7 cable, in addition to providing analog two-channel stereo, bidirectional RS-232, and zone-specific bidirectional IR pass-through up to 60 KHz. Both units support Deep Color, HDCP, and full 3D, while preserving 7.1-channel digital audio, including DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD.

 

Atlona’s AT-HD4-V41(4x1) and AT-HD4-V42 4x1 (4x2) HDMI switchers will also be highlighted. The units feature four HDMI inputs and one or two HDMI outputs, supporting HDMI 100-Mbps Ethernet ports for HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) and Audio Return Channels (ARC), reducing the amount of wires necessary for compatible systems. The AT-HD4-V41 and AT-HD4-V42 give users a superior bandwidth connection, between four sources and one or two video displays, at resolutions up to 1080p without signal loss. These HDCP supported devices also allow for bidirectional HDMI Ethernet Channel pass through. In addition to digital audio de-embedding through the S/PDIF outputs, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio pass-through are supported.

 

Nominated as a finalist for the 2011 Resi Awards and CEDIA Manufacturer’s Excellence Awards, Atlona’s KIT-PROHD3 digital connectivity testing kit will take center stage at CEDIA.
