Challenge
Standard classrooms are where the majority of K-12 and higher education students receive the bulk of their instruction. Modern spaces include audiovisual components for sharing content from a variety of sources to support the lesson. In addition, it is critical that these rooms are easy to use, allowing teachers to concentrate on instruction instead of operating the AV system.
Solution
Atlona enables powerful and efficient classroom systems. We design advanced presentation and collaboration technologies into easy-to-integrate devices and provide flexible means of control. Features such as AV switching for local and remote sources, USB routing, audio mixing, amplification, and more support enhanced learning environments where student instruction and learning come first.
Application Design
The AT-OME-CS31-SA-HDBT is a key component for enhancing the presentation and collaboration capabilities of today’s classrooms. It supports 3×1 switching between one HDBaseT™ input and two HDMI® inputs for interfacing with common sources such as laptops, computers, and document cameras. A projector or display may be connected to the HDMI output. The HDBaseT input supports extension of video up to 4K/60 4:2:0, plus control, Ethernet, and USB over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters). For audio, the OME-CS31-SA-HDBT can mix three line inputs, de-embedded HDMI, and USB audio into its 50-watt amplifier and line level outputs. The USB 3.0 hub integrates two host computers with up to four peripherals such as cameras, speakerphones, or an interactive display. Additional features include ducking that automatically lowers program audio when the teacher speaks into their microphone and PA sense to mute audio when a school announcement is detected.
The OME-CS31-SA-HDBT includes automatic display control and auto-switching that allows the system to be turned-on or an input selected by simply connecting a source. If a physical user interface is desired, the system can be controlled by a AT-VKP-8E keypad controller or Velocity™ touch panel control system.
