The Atlona AT-UHD-SW-52 is a 5×1 HDMI switcher with dual HDMI outputs, balanced audio outputs, automatic input selection and automatic display control capability. The switcher supports 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 color, offers 3D pass-through, and 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. With front panel buttons and IR control, it can be a standalone switcher. Designed as a cost-effective, easy to install solution, the switcher offers a web-based GUI for easy set-up and management of EDID and HDCP. Additional control options include auto-switching, front panel selector, and compatibility with RS-232, or TCP/IP-based control systems. Audio features include de-embedding of PCM audio over HDMI to either S/PDIF or two-channel analog audio outputs; pass-through of Dolby TrueHD® and DTS-HD Master Audio™; plus an Audio Return Channel feed to the S/PDIF output from the HDMI display. The compact, 1U, half-rack width enclosure is easily installed in rack mounted systems with the included 19” rack mount brackets. Two units can be mounted side-by-side.
The AT-UHD-SW-52 automatically selects an 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.
The AT-UHD-SW 52 adds 4K/UHD performance and installation flexibility to Atlona’s HDMI small switcher family to meet the needs of professional integration applications. Dual HDMI outputs, balanced audio output, EQ, and volume control add to the AT-UHD-SW-52’s long list of features. Incorporating internal video distribution eliminates the need for an external DA to reduce system complexity to save integrators time and money.
The AT-UHD-SW-52 is ideal for use in applications where:
- Two displays are needed to cover presentations in large rooms or where a confidence monitor is needed at the presenter’s podium along with the primary room display.
- Installers need an easy-to-integrate, five-input HDMI switcher with 4K/UHD capability to support multiple sources and mirrored displays to work with any control system.
