OmniStream R-Type Dual-Channel Networked AV Encoder
AT-OMNI-512
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 pass-through. 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 Guide
AT-OMNI-512
The AT-OMNI-512 provides RS-232 over IP which allows communication between an automation
system and an RS-232 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 push spring
connector, following the wiring diagram below. If using non-tinned stranded wire, press the
orange tab, above the terminal, while inserting the exposed wire.
The same port that provides RS-232 connections also supports either an IR extender or IR
emitter. 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 from each of the two wires.
3. Insert the wires into the correct terminal on the included push spring connector, following
the desired wiring diagram below.
NOTE: Typical DB9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for ground.
On some devices, the function of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.
