Introduction
The Atlona OmniStream™ 121 (AT-OMNI-121) is a networked AV decoder for one HDMI source up to 4K/UHD,
plus embedded audio and RS-232 control. The Atlona OmniStream™ 122 (AT-OMNI-122) adds a second channel
of encoding for two HDMI sources up to 4K/UHD and RS-232 control and can deliver duplicate AV streams to
two networks for full system redundancy in mission-critical applications. OmniStream features SMPTE VC-2
compression for critical-quality video applications, with extremely low, sub-frame latency from encode to decode.
It also includes selectable AES-128 encryption and SMPTE 2022-5 Forward Error Correction (FEC) for robust AV
distribution spanning multiple networks. Both OmniStream decoders are housed in compact enclosures that easily
t into a half RU space. They can be powered over the network through Power over Ethernet (PoE) or optionally from
local AC power.
OmniStream was engineered from the ground up at Atlona to deliver the performance and dependability of traditional
AV distribution, with the virtually unlimited scalability and cost eciency of integrating over data networks. It
addresses the many challenges AV and IT integrators encounter with implementing networked AV systems, while
delivering immediate and long-term ROI to end users in enterprises and other organizations

Installation
RS-232
Both the AT-OMNI-121 and AT-OMNI-122 both provide RS-232 over IP, allowing communication between an
automation system and an RS-232 device. This step is optional. Note that dierent Phoenix connectors are
provided with each product.
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.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal on the included Phoenix block. If using non-tinned
stranded wire, presss the orange tab, above the terminal, while inserting the exposed wire. Repeat this step for
the TX, RX, and GND connections.

Connection Instructions
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Eth port on the decoder to a PoE-capable switch on the Local Area Network
(LAN). If using the dual-channel decoder, connect a separate Ethernet cables to Eth 1 and Eth 2 ports.
IMPORTANT: If a PoE-capable switch is not available, then the 48V DC power supply (sold
separately) must be connected to the decoder.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port on the decoder to a display. If using the dual-channel
decoder, connect an HDMI cable from each HDMI OUT port to a display.
3. RS-232 (optional)
• Connect the the RS-232 controller/automation system to the RS-232 port on the decoder.
• Connect the RS-232 device to the RS-232 port on the decoder.
4. External Audio (option)
• Connect the audio inputs to the decoder, as required.
• Connect the audio outputs to the decoder, as required.
5. Connect the audio source and/or audio outputs as required.
6. Once power is applied, the PWR indicator, on the front panel, will turn red, then amber.

Conguration
Discovery using AMS
To determine the IP address of the decoder, use AMS. AMS is available only for the Windows® Operating System.
If necessary, mDNS/Bonjour can also be used to discover the IP address of the decoder.
By default, OmniStream products are set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign each
encoder/decoder an IP address. Once an IP address has been assigned, the Atlona Management System (AMS) can
be used to manage the product on the network. AMS will only be able to discover decoders if they are on the same
VLAN.
If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, the decoder will be placed in Auto IP mode and assigned an
IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx. If this occurs, congure the network interface of the computer
that is running AMS, located on the same subnet (169.254.xxx.xxx, subnet mask 255.255.0.0). Refer to
Conguring a Static IP Address (page 17) for more information on conguring an decoder in Auto IP mode.
1. Launch the Atlona Management System from the Windows Desktop or from the Start Menu.
2. After the AMS server starts, click the OK button to dismiss the dialog.
3. Launch a web browser and type localhost:8080 in the address bar, as shown below.
4. Enter the login information on the AMS web page, then click the Login button. Note that the password is
masked when typed.
