AT-OME-EX-KIT

The Atlona AT-OME-EX-KIT is an HDBaseT extender for video up to 4K/60 4:2:0, plus
embedded audio, control, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters).
Part of the Omega™ Series of integration products for modern AV communications and
collaboration, the OME-EX-KIT is HDCP 2.2 compliant and extends IR, RS-232, and IP control
signals. The integrated USB extension is ideal for software video conferencing and the use of
touch or interactive displays. The OME-EX-TX transmitter includes a USB host port for a PC,
plus two peripheral devices such as a speakerphone, microphone, or keyboard and mouse. The
OME-EX-RX receiver provides two USB 2.0 interfaces for devices such as a camera or display.
The transmitter and receiver are available separately, for use with other Omega Series integration
products.*

* Both the AT-OME-EX-TX and AT-OME-EX-RX are not compatible with the AT-UHD-HDVS-300
system for extending USB.

1 LAN

Connect a category cable from this port to a network switch. This cable provide IP pass­through transport control from a control system to the display (sink) device connected to the
receiver.

2 DEVICE

Connect up to two USB devices (e.g. mouse, keyboard, etc.) to these ports. Each port
provides 5 V / 500 mA.

3 HOST

Connect a USB cable from this port to the host computer.

4 FW

Connect a mini USB-to-USB cable from this port, to a computer, to update the rmware.

Refer to Updating the Firmware (page 10) for more information.

5 PWR / LINK

The PWR LED indicator will glow green when the AT-OME-EX-TX is powered. The AT-OME­EX-RX supplies power to the AT-OME-EX-TX over HDBaseT. The LINK LED indicator glows
yellow when a solid link is established between the transmitter and receiver. Refer to LED

Indicators (page 7) for more information.

6 RS-232 / IR

Connect the included 4-pin captive screw block to this receptacle. Refer to RS-232 and IR

(page 4) for more information.

Installation Guide

AT-OME-EX-KIT

The AT-OME-EX-KIT provides pass-through transport of RS-232 protocol and/or IR over
HDBaseT, which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 or IR device.
This step is optional.

1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket.

2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires for the RS­232 connection.

3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 4-pin
captive screw connectors.

4. Repeat step 2 for the S and GND wires for the IR connection.

5. Insert the S (signal) wire in to the TX terminal and the ground wire to the GND terminal.

6. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use high­torque devices to prevent damage to the connector block.

NOTE: Typical DB9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for

ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed. Note that the

signal (S) pin for the IR is labeled as “TX” on the port.
