Introduction
Atlona HDVS receiver was designed to smooth the transition from analog to digital displays in
schools and businesses, allowing advanced HDMI display devices to be used with the many VGA
computers still in use. Many displays don’t support the resolutions and refresh rates typical of
VGA sources. In addition, the HDVS-RX is compatible with Atlona PoCc switchers and distribution
amplifiers with HDBaseT outputs and is a good solution when scaling is required for a specific
display.
When used with a matching HDVS-TX or HDVS-TX-WP, projector control is enabled. HDBaseT and
power over category cable (PoCc) allow signal and power over a single category cable, with RS-232
control capability.
• Scales incoming signals at a variety of common resolutions up to 1080p or 1920x1200
• Complete control of video brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and more
• Extends common resolutions up to 1080p or 1920x1200 to distances as long as 230ft (70
meters)*
• Front panel on-screen menu control for ease of use
• Set preferred input resolution to match display requirements
• 2 channel balanced analog audio output to an amplifier (Ex. AT-PA100-G2)
• PoCc (Power over Category cable) sends power to compatible transmitters
ex. AT-HDVS-TX-WP, AT-HDVS-TX, or AT-HDTX-WP
• Ability to switch HDCP reporting between compliant, noncompliant, and auto
• Firmware upgradable for easy field service through USB
Note: For full functionality and features, ensure the transmitter and receiver are using compatible firmware

HDCP Reporting
-

CAT5e/6/7 INFIRMWAREDC 24V
The HDVS-RX has three HDCP reporting modes: compliant, noncompliant, and auto.
Note: HDVS does not alter the signal in any way
Note: HDVS will not pass HDCP compliant source signal to a non HDCP display
Complaint
Reports to the source it is connected to an HDCP compliant device
Note: Will pass all HDCP compliant and non compliant source signals to an HDCP compliant display
NonCompliant
Reports to the source it is connected to an HDCP noncompliant device
Note: Some Apple products (and other PCs) will protect non HDCP conent, stoping nonHDCP
compliant displays from receiving even personal files such as: powerpoints, Excel, or word
files. Use this mode to pass nonHDCP content
Note: BlueRay content, apple TV, and other HDCP complaint source signals will not pass
Auto
Will report compliant or noncompliant to the source depending on what the display reports.
Note: This mode is made to work with direct connection to a display and will not work with Atlona
