suppressor with line conditioning is highly suggested, especially in areas with electrical
storms.
The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-840 is a 4K/UHD 8x4 matrix switcher with HDMI® and HDBaseT™
inputs and outputs, flexible audio integration capabilities, and Ethernet-enabled 100 meter
HDBaseT extension with PoE remote device powering. It is highly versatile and ideal for presentation
environments with content on multiple displays, as well as videoconferencing, presentation
capture, and divisible rooms. The AT-UHD-CLSO-840 supports resolutions up to 4K/UHD at 60 Hz
with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. Ethernet pass-through allows HDBaseT Ethernet extension from
a control system or network. Audio system integration is streamlined with audio embedding and
de-embedding, independent audio matrix switching, dedicated input and output gain controls, and
a five-band EQ for each output. The AT-UHD-CLSO-840 is configured and managed using Atlona

To rack mount the UHD-CLSO-840
unit: use the rack mount ears, the 6
screws from the sides of the UHDCLSO-840, and 4 rack screws.
To affix the rack mount ears,
remove the three screws on each
side of the UHD-CLSO-840 and affix
the rack ears to the UHD-CLSO-840
(as shown in the picture to the left).
Place the UHD-CLSO-840 in the
rack, lining the holes in the rack
ears with the holes in the rack.
Once placed, use the rack screws to
keep the unit in place. (as shown in
the picture to the left).
Note: Increase the air flow as needed
to maintain the recommended
temperature inside the rack.
Note: Do not exceed maximum weight
loads for the rack. Install heavier
equipment in the lower part of
the rack for stability.

Category Cable
For the category cables used in the installation of these products, please be sure to use a 568B
termination as pictured below:
Connector type and size is very important to ensure extenders work correctly. Please use the
matching cable type with the correct RJ45 connector.
CAT5e cables should use only CAT5e RJ45 connectors
CAT6 cables should use only CAT6 connectors
CAT6a cables should use only CAT6a connectors
CAT7 cables should use only CAT7 connectors
Using the wrong size connectors may result in interference causing loss of signal.
Important! “EZ RJ45 connectors” are not recommended with HDBaseT extenders. Doing so may result in interference
with audio and video transmission.
Use the table below to verify the best category cable for the installation.
Important! 4K (UHD) signals are sensitive to cable quality and installation technique. It is recommended to
use CAT6a/7 solid core shielded cables for best results.
Note: For cable distances see the specifications on page 25

Captive Screw
The captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter
while providing a more reliable connection.
Connecting
The captive screw connectors have
a contact bar that is adjusted to
compress the wire against the top
contact plate. Use the screws at the
top of the connector to compress
the wire against the contact plate.
When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be
terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector has a contact plate at the top and must
have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture A) the signal will pass,
incorrectly (see picture B) no signal will pass.
Clockwise
Counter
Clockwise
Turn the screws clockwise to
raise the contact bar to the
upper contact plate and hold
the wires in place.
Turn the screws counter
clockwise to lower the
contact bar to release the
wires.

Tip (+)
Analog Audio
A captive screw analog audio connector is provided to ensure a more reliable and secure
connection. The captive screw connector supports unbalanced and balanced audio output.
Unbalanced audio connections use one signal wire and a ground, when connecting the wires a
jumper between the negative and ground will help alleviate extra noise on the line. Unbalanced
audio connections are used if other system components don’t support balanced signals.
Note: Pin outs may vary, please refer to the audio device’s manual to ensure a correct connection.
Important! When terminating cables, please ensure exposed adjacent wires do not touch. This may result in
a short that can damage connected devices.

RS-232 captive screw connector is included. RS-232 pin out will be determined by the RS-232 cable
and will connect as Rx (receiver), Tx (transmitter), and (ground). (See picture 1)
