Atlona, a brand of Hall Research, has added five solutions to its OmniStream AV-over-IP platform: OmniStream Encoder, OmniStream+ Encoder with USB, OmniStream Decodr, OmniStream+ Decoder with USB, and OmniStream Encoder Wall Plate. All five products are now shipping.
The expansion brings USB support directly into the OmniStream+ encoder and decoder chassis, a feature that previously required a separate companion device. The update gives integrators more ways to move 4K/60 4:4:4 video, audio and, on OmniStream+ models, USB signals over standard Gigabit Ethernet, without adding hardware to the rack or the wall.
Built-In USB, One Less Box on the Rack
Integrators who needed USB extension alongside OmniStream+ video previously paired the encoder or decoder with a separate USB companion unit. The new OmniStream+ Encoder with USB and OmniStream+ Decoder with USB combine video, audio and USB into a single endpoint, reducing the number of devices needed at each connection point for conference rooms, classrooms, huddle spaces and other USB-dependent AV-over-IP installations.
A Wall Plate Option for Cleaner Installs
The OmniStream Encoder Wall Plate brings the same encoding performance to a two-gang, in-wall form factor, letting integrators mount a source connection directly into a wall or furniture rather than routing back to a rack-mounted encoder.
Built to Work With Existing OmniStream Deployments
All five products are designed to work alongside OmniStream devices already in the field, giving current dealers and integrators a way to add USB support or wall plate flexibility to existing systems without replacing infrastructure that is already installed.
Availability
The OmniStream Encoder, OmniStream+ Encoder with USB, OmniStream Decoder, OmniStream+ Decoder with USB, and OmniStream Encoder Wall Plate are available now through Atlona’s dealer network.
