NOTE: The AT-OMNI-512 is available in limited quantities. The recommended replacement product is the AT-OMNI-112.
The companion AT-OMNI-521 decoder is discontinued. The AT-OMNI-121 decoder, when configured with VC-2 Video Optimization set to Video mode, is compatible with the AT-OMNI-512.
Dual-Channel Networked AV Encoder
The Atlona OmniStream™ 512 (AT-OMNI-512) is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding for two HDMI sources up to UHD @ 60 Hz and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass-through. It is part of the OmniStream R-Type Series, designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in light commercial audiovisual applications. The OmniStream 512 is HDCP 2.2 compliant and ideal for the latest Ultra High-Definition and HDR sources. It features advanced high-quality, VC-2 visually lossless video compression, optimized for motion video content. The Atlona OmniStream 512 achieves extremely low, sub-frame latency when paired with OmniStream AV decoders. This dual-channel 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, 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.
COMING SOON: OmniStream 2.0 Technology Update
OmniStream 2.0 is a major technology update that brings a host of new capabilities to OmniStream encoders and decoders. It will be available in newly shipping OmniStream products, and as a no-cost firmware update for existing systems. OmniStream 2.0 will deliver industry-leading performance, and allow system owners to preserve their investments well into the future.

OmniStream Product Compatibility
The OmniStream 512 is compatible with the OmniStream 521 decoder. It is also compatible with the OmniStream 121 decoder when Video Optimization is set to Motion Video mode.
Ethernet Link Testing (Coming Soon)
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
- Multi-room or multi-zone AV systems – OmniStream R-Type enables cost-effective system design, allowing the connection of any number of sources to any number of displays. OmniStream delivers equal performance over new or legacy network cable infrastructure, including CAT 5e.
