The SDVoE Alliance, a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, has welcomed Atlona, manufacturer of AV distribution, AV over IP, collaboration and control solutions for educational and commercial environments, as an SDVoE Alliance adopting member.
In conjunction with its membership, Atlona has unveiled the PRO5 Series, an innovative matrix switching solution featuring SDVoE technology for long-distance, point-to-point extension. The PRO5 Series is anchored by the AT-PRO5-MX810, an 8×10 matrix switcher with HDMI inputs and SDVoE extension outputs for transmission of 4K HDR video and audio to companion PRO5 Series receivers. Each SDVoE output features copper or fiber optic connectivity for extending 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and HDR formats.
This new solution offers a high-performance extension of AV, Gigabit Ethernet, and control signals through standard 10GbE connectivity with CAT6a UTP or fiber optic cable. The PRO5 Series harnesses advanced video processing capabilities, including video wall processing, 4K video upscaling and downscaling, and frame rate conversion. These and many additional features provide customers with enhanced visual fidelity and options to tailor to their unique system integration needs.
“Joining the SDVoE Alliance aligns with our mission to leverage advanced AV technologies that bring innovation, performance, and value to our customers in achieving their system integration objectives,” said Paul Krizan, Product Line Manager for Atlona. “The PRO5 Series represents a remarkable new achievement in the evolution of the traditional matrix switcher, especially as it pertains to SDVoE technology for long-distance, dependable, point-to-point AV transmission, as well as native video processing features.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Atlona to the SDVoE Alliance,” said Stephane Tremblay, President of the SDVoE Alliance. “Atlona’s reputation for delivering high-quality AV solutions aligns perfectly with our mission to revolutionize AV distribution through Ethernet. Their new SDVoE product is a strong addition to the technology ecosystem we continue to build through the SDVoE Alliance.”
The SDVoE Alliance offers a comprehensive hardware and software platform designed for AV extension and distribution, KVM, video walls, and multiview image processing. Its unified system architecture simplifies deployments while enhancing flexibility, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Atlona’s adoption of SDVoE technology underscores its commitment to providing cutting-edge AV solutions that meet the evolving demands of educational, commercial, and enterprise environments.
