AVProAlliance.com will carry Atlona’s entire range connectivity products, including its latest HDBaseT matrix switchers and extenders, which reliably route inputs to outputs to enable users to view several sources simultaneously. The devices also facilitate multiroom distribution by allowing for easy customization, while Power over Category cable (PoCc) connectivity further simplifies installation processes. The companies will discuss Atlona’s latest technology in joint training sessions titled “Extending, Splitting, and Connecting in the Digital Age” starting May 14 in Kitchener, Ontario, then visit various locations in the United States, ending on Aug. 6 in Seattle. Topics will include HDMI®, EDID, HDCP, and integration methods for long-distance deployments at multiple points.
