Details

The Atlona AT-OMNI-111 is a networked AV encoder for HDMI sources up to 4K/60 4:4:4 and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. OmniStream is designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in commercial audiovisual applications. The OMNI-111 encoder features the advanced VCx™ codec which delivers 4K/60 4:4:4 video from encode to decode, with artifact-free presentation of computer-generated content and fast-motion video, and ultra-low latency less than one frame. VCx offers high-efficiency coding with simultaneous 4K/60 4:4:4 and 1080p streaming through dual encoders and scaling engines built into the OMNI-111. This encoder is housed in a half-width rack enclosure with front-to-back air flow, and is ideal for high-density, compact installation in a centralized equipment location.

Easy to Configure, Simple to Manage

OmniStream AV over IP systems are remarkably easy to set up and manage – whether for a meeting room, retail establishment, auditorium, divisible room, or an entire university campus. Velocity™ Device Manager features automatic network device discovery, plus an intuitive web-based GUI that lets you configure virtual routing for AV, control, and data over the network – just as easily as you would with conventional AV matrix switching. Velocity Device Manager also streamlines and simplifies management of OmniStream systems through continuous system monitoring, notifications and alerts, event logging, multi-device configuration and backup, automated firmware updates, remote device control, and more.

Product Compatibility

The OMNI-111 is compatible with the OMNI-121 decoder.

Designed for Pro AV Integration

The OMNI-111 includes several features for optimizing integration and enhancing professional AV presentations. EDID and HDCP management features ensure reliable, consistent system operation and compatibility with source devices. EDID management includes the option to assign an EDID captured from a display at an OmniStream AV decoder. Aspect ratio controls are available to specify the presentation viewing format as desired by the end user. Additionally, OmniStream offers the option to overlay a logo image (PNG with transparent background) onto an AV presentation for corporate or institutional branding. A full-screen image can also be displayed, as a backup in an event of an interruption in an AV stream, or to display information between presentations.

OmniStream delivers fast switching between 4K/60 video streams from OmniStream encoders. Encoded video streams can be previewed in a Velocity™ touch panel GUI, or through the web GUI for an OmniStream decoder.

Multiview Window Processing

In addition to 4K/60 4:4:4 streaming, the OMNI-111 can deliver a secondary stream at a lower resolution up to HD 1080p. This stream is ideal for use with multiview window processing for the OMNI-121 decoder, which can ingest up to four streams from OMNI-111 encoders and display them simultaneously on a single screen.

Ethernet Link Testing

OmniStream AV over IP systems feature Ethernet link testing, a convenient feature for integrators and technicians to test integrity of the network infrastructure. Testing is initiated from the encoder web GUI, and performed between an encoder and decoders joined to it in a multicast group. Test results can be monitored from the encoder and decoder web GUI, avoiding the need to visually check for an image at each display location.

Applications

  • Enterprises and other large organizations – Maximize AV application flexibility by enabling content sharing within single meeting rooms, or corporate-wide broadcasting to every connected screen.
  • Corporate and university campuses with the need to distribute AV between buildings – OmniStream allows virtually unlimited AV system scope and scale. For very large, expansive or interconnected LANs, SMPTE-standard FEC (Forward Error Correction) ensures robust, reliable image presentation at every endpoint.
  • Applications in which any AV content or resource can be shared anywhere in the system – AV over IP technology removes the restrictions associated with interconnecting sources and displays through standard matrix switching architecture.
  • Meeting rooms and conference rooms – An IP network infrastructure makes it simple and efficient to design AV systems for small, large, and divisible meeting room configurations, and to centrally manage them throughout a facility.
  • Overflow rooms, such as in universities and conference centers – The OMNI-121 decoder with multiview processing, together with OMNI-111 encoders can be used to duplicate the AV presentation in the main venue, while also displaying a PIP (picture-in-picture) window of a camera shot for the presenter.
  • Houses of worship and performing arts centers – Ultra-low latency makes OmniStream ideal for IMAG applications with performers projected onto large screens, while ensuring synchronization with the live audio.

  • Resolved compatibility issues with Apple Silicon-based devices.

Known Issues

General

  • When an Apple TV is the source, Dolby Vision will not pass the correct colors to a TCL-brand TV.
  • If LLDP is not running on attached network switch, then the LLDP menu page will appear to be continuously loading. This issue does not affect other menus within the web server. Workaround: If LLDP information is required, enable it on the network switch, globally or per-interface.

Encoder

  • Link test results may be inaccurate when an encoder is configured for dual streaming.
  • Encoders using a 1080p EDID might encounter issues with input video from an M1 or M2 Macbook using an Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter. A workaround is to use a 4K EDID and then enable scaling on either the encoder or decoder depending on the requirements of the system.

  • Pro only: When transporting two video streams over a single Ethernet cable, only one AES67 session is supported.
Previous Releases
Version 2.0.2

Bug Fixes

General

  • Resolved an issue where devices have an active link-local IP addresses even when assigned a static or DHCP IP address.

Encoder

  • Resolved an issue on the AT-OMNI-112 where the client MAC address does not correspond to the MAC address in the header of the Ethernet frame.

Decoder

  • Resolved several issues that could result in one or more displays in a videowall showing no content.
  • Resolved an issue where the decoder slate image would not be shown if the slate resolution does not match the decoder output resolution. Note: The slate resolution can be shown at a maximum of 1920×1080. When the output resolution of the decoder is set to higher than 1920×1080, the slate resolution will be fixed at 1920×1080.
  • Resolved an issue where the HDMI Output Framerate setting was not being honored. Note: the framerate setting applies in all operating modes and for all resolutions, except for frame rate conversion when using 4K output, in which case framerate conversion only applies if Fast Switching is enabled.

Known Issues

General

  • When an Apple TV is the source, Dolby Vision will not pass the correct colors to a TCL-brand TV.
  • If LLDP is not running on attached network switch, then the LLDP menu page will appear to be continuously loading. This issue does not affect other menus within the web server. Workaround: If LLDP information is required, enable it on the network switch, globally or per-interface.

  • Cannot set the Ethernet interface to “Not Used” if AES67 is enabled on the session.
  • Pro only: When transporting two video streams over a single Ethernet cable, only one AES67 session is supported.

Decoder

  • The use of Bezel Compensation in Videowall mode triggers a notification that the selected Videowall height is not supported. This notification is cosmetic in nature and does not reflect an actual problem.
  • The AT-OMNI-122, when running OmniStream 2.x, will only negotiate HDCP 1.4 on one of the two outputs.
  • When using the VCx codec with fast switching disabled, color flashes might be seen when switching streams. This can be resolved by enabling fast switching.
  • When switching a subframe within a multiview to an ip_input already in use on the multiview, the subframe showing that ip_input will blink momentarily.
  • Decoders configured to use the VCx codec and with fast switching disabled may see issues with certain Dell DVI displays. This can be resolved by enabling fast switching.
  • If fast switching is enabled with a timeout set to 0 seconds (infinite hold), if the timeout is then changed to a non-zero value, infinite hold remains. Rebooting the decoder will resolve this issue.
  • Decoders with fast switching and text insertion enabled may encounter issues with Epson projectors. Workaround options include disabling decoder text insertion or using the encoder for text insertion.
  • Moving a decoder between a display that does not support Dolby Vision and one that does support Dolby Vision might result in an issue on the output. Re-seating the HDMI cable should resolve this.
  • In some instances following a settings change to disable fast switching the HDMI output will fail to sync. Re-seating the HDMI cable should resolve this.
  • Dolby Vision content can have issues on some displays when using VCx or VC-2 PC Application modes with fast switching enabled. Disabling fast switching or switching to VC-2 Video mode should resolve the issue.
  • When using the external power supply, the unit will not connect to a PoE enabled Cisco Catalyst 2960-X.
  • Switching to and from Video Wall mode, when operating HDCP 1.4 on dual-channel units, will take up to 15 seconds to display video.
  • Video wall sizes larger than 8×8 are only supported through AMS or Velocity.
  • Purple vertical lines may appear in the stream. Workaround: re-subscribe to the stream to fix the issue.
  • OMNI-122 only: When initially configuring a video wall larger than 2×2, the HDMI output video will be corrupted. Workaround: Power-cycling the decoder to resolve the issue.
Version 2.0.1

Features

General

  • The maximum number of open Telnet and SSH connections to a unit is now 25.

Decoder

  • Enabling Video Wall on the decoder now automatically sets the Stretch/crop mode to “fullscreen”.

Bug Fixes

General

  • Resolved a memory leak issue when using the CLI and the connection does not get properly closed.

Encoder

  • Resolved an issue that caused the slate image to stream as a black image when the encode scaler is set to 3840×2160. NOTE: the slate image cannot be scaled to 3840×2160 in the encoder. If the scaler is set to this resolution, the slate image will be streamed at 1920×1080 when the slate is active.

Decoder

  • Resolved an issue that caused decoders configured for Video Wall to lock up when the incoming stream resolution changes.
  • Resolved an issue that could result the Interface field of IP Inputs being set to “N/A”.
  • Resolved an issue that caused decoders configured for Video Wall with an output resolution of “Auto” to select a 4K output resolution, which is not valid for Video Walls.

  • When an Apple TV is the source, Dolby Vision will not pass the correct colors to a TCL-brand TV.
  • If LLDP is not running on attached network switch, then the LLDP menu page will appear to be continuously loading. This issue does not affect other menus within the web server. Workaround: If LLDP information is required, enable it on the network switch, globally or per-interface.

Encoder

  • Link test results may be inaccurate when an encoder is configured for dual streaming.
  • Encoders using a 1080p EDID might encounter issues with input video from an M1 or M2 Macbook using an Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter. A workaround is to use a 4K EDID and then enable scaling on either the encoder or decoder depending on the requirements of the system.
  • Cannot set the Ethernet interface to “Not Used” if AES67 is enabled on the session.
  • Pro only: When transporting two video streams over a single Ethernet cable, only one AES67 session is supported.

Decoder

  • When the decoder slate resolution and scaler output resolution differ from the incoming stream resolution, the slate may fail to display. A workaround is to the set the decoder output resolution to “Auto”.
  • The AT-OMNI-122, when running OmniStream 2.x, will only negotiate HDCP 1.4 on one of the two outputs.
  • When using the VCx codec with fast switching disabled, color flashes might be seen when switching streams. This can be resolved by enabling fast switching.
  • When switching a subframe within a multiview to an ip_input already in use on the multiview, the subframe showing that ip_input will blink momentarily.
  • Decoders configured to use the VCx codec and with fast switching disabled may see issues with certain Dell DVI displays. This can be resolved by enabling fast switching.
  • If fast switching is enabled with a timeout set to 0 seconds (infinite hold), if the timeout is then changed to a non-zero value, infinite hold remains. Rebooting the decoder will resolve this issue.
  • Decoders with fast switching and text insertion enabled may encounter issues with Epson projectors. Workaround options include disabling decoder text insertion or using the encoder for text insertion.
  • Moving a decoder between a display that does not support Dolby Vision and one that does support Dolby Vision might result in an issue on the output. Re-seating the HDMI cable should resolve this.
  • In some instances following a settings change to disable fast switching the HDMI output will fail to sync. Re-seating the HDMI cable should resolve this.
  • Dolby Vision content can have issues on some displays when using VCx or VC-2 PC Application modes with fast switching enabled. Disabling fast switching or switching to VC-2 Video mode should resolve the issue.
  • When using the external power supply, the unit will not connect to a PoE enabled Cisco Catalyst 2960-X.
  • Switching to and from Video Wall mode, when operating HDCP 1.4 on dual-channel units, will take up to 15 seconds to display video.
  • Video wall sizes larger than 8×8 are only supported through AMS or Velocity.
  • Purple vertical lines may appear in the stream. Workaround: re-subscribe to the stream to fix the issue.
  • OMNI-122 only: When initially configuring a video wall larger than 2×2, the HDMI output video will be corrupted. Workaround: Power-cycling the decoder to resolve the issue.

Bug Fixes

Encoder

  • For HDCP sources that are only capable of HDCP 1.4, the encoder HDCP mode must be forced to HDCP 1.4.
  • Setting AppleTV to “Best Available” audio results in no audio detected during movies.
  • Slate insertion doesn’t work on the encoder.
  • While HDR does pass correctly, the encoder’s HDR indicator doesn’t show HDR for some sources, such as Xbox One S/X, PS4 Pro, and DirecTV C61K-700.
  • To prevent VQ issues, Kaleidescape Strato should be set to “Use External Scaler” mode and set to 1080p. This prevents menus from rendering in UHD.
  • HBR audio formats (Dolby® Atmos®, Dolby TrueHD, DTS®:X, DTS-MA) were temporarily removed from encoder EDIDs
  • DirecTV STBs loses 720p as an option, forcing the use of 1080i for non-UHD channels.
  • 1080i VQ needs improvement.
  • Video generator on encoder doesn’t work.
  • IR pass-through does not function.
  • WebGUI window for alarm descriptions is sometimes too small, resulting in truncated alarm messages.
  • VESA resolutions should not be available for R-Type.
  • Pro only: When both sessions are mapped to the same interface, audio from session 2 is corrupted.

Decoder

  • If dual sources are connected, one is UHDp60, and only one PoE is connected, the second input should not work and an alarm should be raised stating that dual PoE is needed.
  • Output drops when decoder is configured for ultra-low latency mode and UHD output.
  • HBR audio formats (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-MA) aren’t supported on the decoder.
  • Pro only: Pausing audio on PC sources sometimes triggers audio redundancy switching.
  • Infrequent drops with some 720p inputs.
  • Partial fix: Video wall size is limited to 5×5 within the web GUI. Larger wall sizes can be created over Telnet/API or using the Velocity Video Wall configurator.
  • Pro only: Polarity of analog input is wrong.
  • Enabling logo on the decoder with a UHDp60 source causes the output to blink and the unit becomes inaccessible.
  • Compressed audio from Kaleidescape Strato is unstable. The issue is not seen with PCM audio from the Strato.
  • Automatic bit depth reduction based on the sink’s EDID is done without any indication to the user.
  • Decoder audio downmix is missing “auto” mode which should function based on the EDID of the connected device.
  • Unit requires one extra reboot after an upgrade to get the decoder audio downmixing to work properly.
  • R-Type only: IR should only be allowed on serial port 2, but is also allowed on serial port 1.

Details

The Atlona AT-OMNI-111 is a networked AV encoder for HDMI sources up to 4K/60 4:4:4 and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. OmniStream is designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in commercial audiovisual applications. The OMNI-111 encoder features the advanced VCx™ codec which delivers 4K/60 4:4:4 video from encode to decode, with artifact-free presentation of computer-generated content and fast-motion video, and ultra-low latency less than one frame. VCx offers high-efficiency coding with simultaneous 4K/60 4:4:4 and 1080p streaming through dual encoders and scaling engines built into the OMNI-111. This encoder is housed in a half-width rack enclosure with front-to-back air flow, and is ideal for high-density, compact installation in a centralized equipment location.

Easy to Configure, Simple to Manage

OmniStream AV over IP systems are remarkably easy to set up and manage – whether for a meeting room, retail establishment, auditorium, divisible room, or an entire university campus. Velocity™ Device Manager features automatic network device discovery, plus an intuitive web-based GUI that lets you configure virtual routing for AV, control, and data over the network – just as easily as you would with conventional AV matrix switching. Velocity Device Manager also streamlines and simplifies management of OmniStream systems through continuous system monitoring, notifications and alerts, event logging, multi-device configuration and backup, automated firmware updates, remote device control, and more.

Product Compatibility

The OMNI-111 is compatible with the OMNI-121 decoder.

Designed for Pro AV Integration

The OMNI-111 includes several features for optimizing integration and enhancing professional AV presentations. EDID and HDCP management features ensure reliable, consistent system operation and compatibility with source devices. EDID management includes the option to assign an EDID captured from a display at an OmniStream AV decoder. Aspect ratio controls are available to specify the presentation viewing format as desired by the end user. Additionally, OmniStream offers the option to overlay a logo image (PNG with transparent background) onto an AV presentation for corporate or institutional branding. A full-screen image can also be displayed, as a backup in an event of an interruption in an AV stream, or to display information between presentations.

OmniStream delivers fast switching between 4K/60 video streams from OmniStream encoders. Encoded video streams can be previewed in a Velocity™ touch panel GUI, or through the web GUI for an OmniStream decoder.

Multiview Window Processing

In addition to 4K/60 4:4:4 streaming, the OMNI-111 can deliver a secondary stream at a lower resolution up to HD 1080p. This stream is ideal for use with multiview window processing for the OMNI-121 decoder, which can ingest up to four streams from OMNI-111 encoders and display them simultaneously on a single screen.

Ethernet Link Testing

OmniStream AV over IP systems feature Ethernet link testing, a convenient feature for integrators and technicians to test integrity of the network infrastructure. Testing is initiated from the encoder web GUI, and performed between an encoder and decoders joined to it in a multicast group. Test results can be monitored from the encoder and decoder web GUI, avoiding the need to visually check for an image at each display location.

Applications

  • Enterprises and other large organizations – Maximize AV application flexibility by enabling content sharing within single meeting rooms, or corporate-wide broadcasting to every connected screen.
  • Corporate and university campuses with the need to distribute AV between buildings – OmniStream allows virtually unlimited AV system scope and scale. For very large, expansive or interconnected LANs, SMPTE-standard FEC (Forward Error Correction) ensures robust, reliable image presentation at every endpoint.
  • Applications in which any AV content or resource can be shared anywhere in the system – AV over IP technology removes the restrictions associated with interconnecting sources and displays through standard matrix switching architecture.
  • Meeting rooms and conference rooms – An IP network infrastructure makes it simple and efficient to design AV systems for small, large, and divisible meeting room configurations, and to centrally manage them throughout a facility.
  • Overflow rooms, such as in universities and conference centers – The OMNI-121 decoder with multiview processing, together with OMNI-111 encoders can be used to duplicate the AV presentation in the main venue, while also displaying a PIP (picture-in-picture) window of a camera shot for the presenter.
  • Houses of worship and performing arts centers – Ultra-low latency makes OmniStream ideal for IMAG applications with performers projected onto large screens, while ensuring synchronization with the live audio.

Features

General

  • Patched a vulnerability that could be exploited via special character insertion in the URL.
  • Updated the nginx server to get the latest security patches.
  • Updated the OpenSSH library to 9.8p1.
  • Updated the HDMI interface logic on encoders and decoders.

Bug Fixes

Encoder

  • Resolved compatibility issues with Apple Silicon-based devices.

Known Issues

General

  • When an Apple TV is the source, Dolby Vision will not pass the correct colors to a TCL-brand TV.
  • If LLDP is not running on attached network switch, then the LLDP menu page will appear to be continuously loading. This issue does not affect other menus within the web server. Workaround: If LLDP information is required, enable it on the network switch, globally or per-interface.

Encoder

  • Link test results may be inaccurate when an encoder is configured for dual streaming.
  • Encoders using a 1080p EDID might encounter issues with input video from an M1 or M2 Macbook using an Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter. A workaround is to use a 4K EDID and then enable scaling on either the encoder or decoder depending on the requirements of the system.
  • Cannot set the Ethernet interface to “Not Used” if AES67 is enabled on the session.
  • Pro only: When transporting two video streams over a single Ethernet cable, only one AES67 session is supported.
Previous Releases
Version 2.0.2

Bug Fixes

General

  • Resolved an issue where devices have an active link-local IP addresses even when assigned a static or DHCP IP address.

Encoder

  • Resolved an issue on the AT-OMNI-112 where the client MAC address does not correspond to the MAC address in the header of the Ethernet frame.

Decoder

  • Resolved several issues that could result in one or more displays in a videowall showing no content.
  • Resolved an issue where the decoder slate image would not be shown if the slate resolution does not match the decoder output resolution. Note: The slate resolution can be shown at a maximum of 1920×1080. When the output resolution of the decoder is set to higher than 1920×1080, the slate resolution will be fixed at 1920×1080.
  • Resolved an issue where the HDMI Output Framerate setting was not being honored. Note: the framerate setting applies in all operating modes and for all resolutions, except for frame rate conversion when using 4K output, in which case framerate conversion only applies if Fast Switching is enabled.

Known Issues

General

  • When an Apple TV is the source, Dolby Vision will not pass the correct colors to a TCL-brand TV.
  • If LLDP is not running on attached network switch, then the LLDP menu page will appear to be continuously loading. This issue does not affect other menus within the web server. Workaround: If LLDP information is required, enable it on the network switch, globally or per-interface.

Encoder

  • Link test results may be inaccurate when an encoder is configured for dual streaming.
  • Encoders using a 1080p EDID might encounter issues with input video from an M1 or M2 Macbook using an Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter. A workaround is to use a 4K EDID and then enable scaling on either the encoder or decoder depending on the requirements of the system.
  • Cannot set the Ethernet interface to “Not Used” if AES67 is enabled on the session.
  • Pro only: When transporting two video streams over a single Ethernet cable, only one AES67 session is supported.

Decoder

  • The use of Bezel Compensation in Videowall mode triggers a notification that the selected Videowall height is not supported. This notification is cosmetic in nature and does not reflect an actual problem.
  • The AT-OMNI-122, when running OmniStream 2.x, will only negotiate HDCP 1.4 on one of the two outputs.
  • When using the VCx codec with fast switching disabled, color flashes might be seen when switching streams. This can be resolved by enabling fast switching.
  • When switching a subframe within a multiview to an ip_input already in use on the multiview, the subframe showing that ip_input will blink momentarily.
  • Decoders configured to use the VCx codec and with fast switching disabled may see issues with certain Dell DVI displays. This can be resolved by enabling fast switching.
  • If fast switching is enabled with a timeout set to 0 seconds (infinite hold), if the timeout is then changed to a non-zero value, infinite hold remains. Rebooting the decoder will resolve this issue.

Bug Fixes

Encoder

  • For HDCP sources that are only capable of HDCP 1.4, the encoder HDCP mode must be forced to HDCP 1.4.
  • Setting AppleTV to “Best Available” audio results in no audio detected during movies.
  • Slate insertion doesn’t work on the encoder.
  • While HDR does pass correctly, the encoder’s HDR indicator doesn’t show HDR for some sources, such as Xbox One S/X, PS4 Pro, and DirecTV C61K-700.
  • To prevent VQ issues, Kaleidescape Strato should be set to “Use External Scaler” mode and set to 1080p. This prevents menus from rendering in UHD.
  • HBR audio formats (Dolby® Atmos®, Dolby TrueHD, DTS®:X, DTS-MA) were temporarily removed from encoder EDIDs
  • DirecTV STBs loses 720p as an option, forcing the use of 1080i for non-UHD channels.
  • 1080i VQ needs improvement.
  • Video generator on encoder doesn’t work.
  • IR pass-through does not function.
  • WebGUI window for alarm descriptions is sometimes too small, resulting in truncated alarm messages.
  • VESA resolutions should not be available for R-Type.
  • Pro only: When both sessions are mapped to the same interface, audio from session 2 is corrupted.

Decoder

  • If dual sources are connected, one is UHDp60, and only one PoE is connected, the second input should not work and an alarm should be raised stating that dual PoE is needed.
  • Output drops when decoder is configured for ultra-low latency mode and UHD output.
  • HBR audio formats (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-MA) aren’t supported on the decoder.
  • Pro only: Pausing audio on PC sources sometimes triggers audio redundancy switching.
  • Infrequent drops with some 720p inputs.
  • Partial fix: Video wall size is limited to 5×5 within the web GUI. Larger wall sizes can be created over Telnet/API or using the Velocity Video Wall configurator.
  • Pro only: Polarity of analog input is wrong.
  • Enabling logo on the decoder with a UHDp60 source causes the output to blink and the unit becomes inaccessible.
  • Compressed audio from Kaleidescape Strato is unstable. The issue is not seen with PCM audio from the Strato.
  • Automatic bit depth reduction based on the sink’s EDID is done without any indication to the user.
  • Decoder audio downmix is missing “auto” mode which should function based on the EDID of the connected device.
  • Unit requires one extra reboot after an upgrade to get the decoder audio downmixing to work properly.
  • R-Type only: IR should only be allowed on serial port 2, but is also allowed on serial port 1.
