This capability, plus interfacing for host PCs and USB peripherals makes the OME-MS42-HDBT ideal for video conferencing and UC (unified communications) platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco® Webex®, and GoTo Meeting®.

Versatile Matrix Switcher, Scaler, and Extender

The OME-MS42-HDBT is ideal for video conferencing and many other 4K presentation applications. It combines the benefits of auto-switching for AV and USB, integrated display control, USB extension, and more. The OME-MS42-HDBT incorporates many popular integration convenience features, while delivering excellent performance and value for 4K presentation and video conferencing applications. The USB-C input is ideal for AV interfacing with newer laptops and mobile devices, plus USB data connectivity (to the local USB hub and over HDBaseT). The OME-MS42-HDBT can be locally powered with the included AT-PS-245-D4 power supply, and charge laptops and mobile devices through the USB-C port.

The OME-MS42-HDBT display control capability can also be triggered by an external control system.

* Consumer Electronics Control (CEC): Atlona does not guarantee the function of CEC with all televisions. We can confirm proper operation with many current Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, and LG TVs. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC “off” command when sent from a source and older TVs use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports those TVs that follow CEC command structure from HDMI 1.2a and support the “off” command when issued by a source. We encourage any dealer to get evaluation product from Atlona prior to designing a system around this control technology or be prepared to use other methods to control their displays if Atlona CEC is not compatible with the installed displays.

AV and USB Host Switching

When the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs are mirrored, the OME-MS42-HDBT can automatically select an AV input source based on detection of the 5 volt hot plug detect (HPD) signal, as well as active video. This ensures reliable auto-switching operation for all video sources, including DVRs, DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort adapters, and other devices that always maintain the HPD line at the 5 volt “high” state but may not be delivering active video.

Additionally, the OME-MS42-HDBT provides switching for USB host sources. Up to four USB hosts can be connected through the USB-C and two USB type B ports, as well as a remote USB host connection over HDBaseT from an Omega Series transmitter. Switching for USB hosts can be manual or automatic. Auto-switching for USB host sources can be independent, based on USB signal presence, or set to follow AV input switching.

Applications

  • Video conferencing – With a compatible Omega Series transmitter and receiver, this switcher provides interfacing for local and remote USB devices for video conferencing, with AV and USB switched together between host PCs.
  • Meeting rooms and conference rooms – The OME-MS42-HDBT can serve as an AV integration centerpiece in a credenza for sources in the rack, and one or two displays in the room. The HDBaseT input allows wall or meeting table access for a presenter to connect a laptop.
  • Auditoriums and lecture halls – This switcher can be installed in a lectern for a presenter’s laptop, and delivering video to the projector as well as the confidence monitor. The HDBaseT input is ideal for receiving HDMI video from a secondary presenter location in the room.

Product Compatibility

Please see below for a list of compatible Omega products for the OME-MS42-HDBT.

Note: The AT-OME-SW21-TX-WPC and AT-OME-SR21 will be supported in a future firmware update. Please contact your Atlona Representative for more information.

AV and USB Host Switching

When the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs are mirrored, the OME-MS42-HDBT can automatically select an AV input source based on detection of the 5 volt hot plug detect (HPD) signal, as well as active video. This ensures reliable auto-switching operation for all video sources, including DVRs, DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort adapters, and other devices that always maintain the HPD line at the 5 volt “high” state but may not be delivering active video.

Additionally, the OME-MS42-HDBT provides switching for USB host sources. Up to four USB hosts can be connected through the USB-C and two USB type B ports, as well as a remote USB host connection over HDBaseT from an Omega Series transmitter. Switching for USB hosts can be manual or automatic. Auto-switching for USB host sources can be independent, based on USB signal presence, or set to follow AV input switching.

Applications

  • Video conferencing – With a compatible Omega Series transmitter and receiver, this switcher provides interfacing for local and remote USB devices for video conferencing, with AV and USB switched together between host PCs.
  • Meeting rooms and conference rooms – The OME-MS42-HDBT can serve as an AV integration centerpiece in a credenza for sources in the rack, and one or two displays in the room. The HDBaseT input allows wall or meeting table access for a presenter to connect a laptop.
  • Auditoriums and lecture halls – This switcher can be installed in a lectern for a presenter’s laptop, and delivering video to the projector as well as the confidence monitor. The HDBaseT input is ideal for receiving HDMI video from a secondary presenter location in the room.

Product Compatibility

Please see below for a list of compatible Omega products for the OME-MS42-HDBT.

Note: The AT-OME-SW21-TX-WPC and AT-OME-SR21 will be supported in a future firmware update. Please contact your Atlona Representative for more information.
