Atlona Upgrades OmniStream™ AV Over IP Platform

News Image
Atlona has launched a powerful yet free upgrade for its OmniStream™ AV over IP platform.

The new award-winning OmniStream 2.0 firmware adds support for 4K/60 video with 4:4:4 color sampling alongside significantly i­mproved bitrate efficiency and integrated multiview processing capabilities.

OmniStream 2.0 features the new VCx™ codec, enabling 4K/60 4:4:4 streams with artifact-free presentation of both computer-generated content and fast-motion video. Significant gains in coding efficiency – compared to the earlier-generation VC-2 codec – enable more HD streams over 1 Gigabit Ethernet networks, multiple 4K streams over 10 Gigabit switch-to-switch uplinks, and simultaneous 4K and HD over Gigabit Ethernet. VCx also offers ultra-low latency of less than 1 frame from encode to decode.

OmniStream 2.0 brings new multiview window processing, enabling the simultaneous display of multiple sources from OmniStream Pro encoders on one screen from an AT-OMNI-121 decoder. Bypassing the need for a dedicated, external multiview processor, this new functionality is ideal for settings such as lecture halls or auditoriums with overflow rooms, network operations centers, and multi-room monitoring applications.

"While the previous VC-2 codec already delivered exceptional picture quality, 4K/60 4:4:4 support with the VCx codec preserves crucial detail in computer graphics presentations that are commonly used in corporate and educational AV applications," said Paul Krizan, Product Manager – Networked AV, Atlona. "Combining these visual benefits with the new multiview capabilities significantly expands the range of use cases for which networked AV can be deployed."

Additional key features in the OmniStream 2.0 technology update include ultra-fast switching between 4K/60 video streams; integrated Ethernet link testing between encoders and decoders; and the ability to preview video streams as thumbnails through Atlona’s Velocity™ AV control system or in the OmniStream web GUI.
