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.
