The Atlona OmniStream™ R-Type (AT-OMNI-512) is a networked AV encoder with two independent channels of encoding for two HDMI sources up to UHD @ 60 Hz and HDR, plus embedded audio and RS-232 or IR control pass­through. It is part of the OmniStream R-Type Series, designed for high performance, exible distribution of AV over Gigabit Ethernet in residential and light commercial applications. The OmniStream 512 is HDCP 2.2 compliant
and ideal for the latest as well as emerging UHD and HDR sources. It features visually lossless compression with
pristine-quality video and graphics performance, plus extremely low, subframe latency from encode to decode
– critical for demanding applications such as gaming. This dual-channel encoder is housed in a half-width rack enclosure and is ideal for high-density, compact installation in a centralized equipment location.

Installation
The AT-OMNI-512 provides RS-232 over IP which allows communication between an automation system and an RS­232 device. This step is optional. Either the top three or bottom three set of terminals can be used for RS-232.
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, press the orange tab, above the terminal, while inserting the exposed wire. Repeat this step for the TX, RX, and GND connections.

Installation
The same port that provides RS-232 connections also supports bidirectional IR pass-through, allowing a device to be controlled from either the headend or the decoder endpoint. This step is optional. Either the top three or bottom three set of terminals can be used for IR. Only the RS-232 2 port (bottom set of connectors) supports both RS-232 and IR. Therefore, this port must be used for IR connections.

3. RS-232 (optional) Refer to RS-232 Connections (page 11) for wiring information.
• Connect the RS-232 controller/automation system to the RS-232 port on the encoder.
• Connect the RS-232 device to the RS-232 port on the decoder.
4. IR (optional) Refer to IR Connections (page 12) for wiring information.
• IR emitter
Connect the IR emitter to the TX and GND pins of the RS-232 2 port. The IR emitter must be placed no
more than 1” from the IR sensor on the device, in order to function properly.
• IR extender
Connect the IR extender from the RX and GND pins of the RS-232 2 port to the associated pins on the control system.
5. Once power is applied, the PWR indicator, on the front panel, will turn red, then amber, then green.
IMPORTANT: If a PoE-capable switch is not available, then the 48V DC power supply (sold

Conguration
Discovery using AMS
It is recommended that the Atlona Management System (AMS) be used to congure and control OmniStream devices. AMS uses multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS) to automatically congure each AT-OMNI-512 on the network. AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://www.atlona.com/ams.
By default, the AT-OMNI-512 is set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign the encoder 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. Note that AMS will only be able to discover encoders if they are on the same VLAN.
Accessing Encoders in AMS
1. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of AMS, in the address bar.
2. Enter the required login credentials.
3. Click the Login button.
4. The AMS Dashboard will be displayed.
5. Click the icon, in the upper-left corner of the AMS Dashboard.
AT-OMNI-512
17
Conguration
6. Click Devices from the y-out menu.
7. Click the Unassigned option.
All available OmniStream encoders will be displayed under the Unassigned category. When a device is unassigned, it means that the device has not yet been assigned to a site, building, and/or room. Refer to the
AMS User Manual for more information on these topics.
If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, the encoder will be placed in Auto IP mode and assigned an IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx. If this occurs, congure 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 Conguring a
Static IP Address (page 14) for more information on conguring an encoder in Auto IP mode.
If no AT-OMNI-512 encoders are found, then verify the following:
The computer that is running AMS must be on the same network as the AT-OMNI-512.
Remove any network restrictions that may be in place. In order for mDNS to function properly, there must
not be restrictions applied to the network.

Once the unit is selected, the control interface for the AT-OMNI-512 will be displayed.

Conguration
Conguring a Static IP Address
The following section is only required to set the AT-OMNI-512 encoder, currently in Auto IP mode, to a static IP address. If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, encoders are automatically placed in Auto IP mode and will be assigned an IP address within the range 169.254.xxx.xxx. If this occurs, a static IP address can be assigned
to the encoder in order for AMS to locate it on the network.
1. Make sure that the AT-OMNI-512 is powered. Power will need to be supplied either by the included external 48
V DC power supply or by connecting an Ethernet cable from the encoder to a PoE-capable switch. The Ethernet cable can be connected to either ETHERNET 1 or ETHERNET 2.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC, directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the encoder. Make sure that the computer being used has AMS installed.
3. Congure the PC to a static IP address that is on the same subnet as the encoder.
4. Login to AMS. Refer to Accessing Encoders in AMS (page 16) for information on the login process.
5. Locate the AT-OMNI-512 encoder under the Unassigned section within AMS.
6. Click on the device.
7. Under AMS, click the NETWORK tab.
8. Click the DHCP Mode drop-down list and select Static.
IMPORTANT: Before continuing, write down the current IP settings in order to restore them, later. If Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server automatically are selected, then this step is not required.
9. Enter the required network information for the encoder in the IP Address, Subnet, and Gateway elds.
10. Click the Save button in the bottom-right corner, to apply the changes.
11. Disconnect the encoder from the PC and connect it to the network.
12. The encoder is now ready for use.

1. Under AMS, click the INPUT tab.
2. Check the Cable Present indicator. If a cable is connected from a source to an input on the encoder, then the
indicator will be green. If no cable is connected, then the indicator will be red.
Note that this indicator may also reect the integrity of the cable: if the cable is bad or does not maintain a secure connection, then the Cable Present indicator may also be displayed as red.
