The Atlona AT-OPUS-68M is part of the Opus™ Series of HDMI® to HDBaseT™ matrix switch­ers for high dynamic range (HDR) formats. The 6x8 matrix switcher is HDCP 2.2 compliant and
support 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, as well as HDMI data rates up to 18

Gbps. The Opus Series enables exible routing to HDBaseT outputs plus two additional HDMI

outputs, and is compatible with the Atlona AT-OPUS-RX receiver or AT-JUNO-451-HDBT switch­er for transmission of HDMI, Ethernet pass-through, and bidirectional IR and RS-232 control

no latency. Opus matrix switchers are equipped with a comprehensive host of audio and control
system integration features, making them ideal for a wide range of residential and commercial
applications requiring multi-zone AV distribution.

IR

4-pin captive screw connectors have been
included for IR routing. Each 4-pin connect
will provide connection for 2 IR ports. All IR
ports will use a Ground ( ) and signal (S)
wire.

Audio

Connect to an audio DSP, amplier, or other

audio distribution or player devices. Only
unbalanced 2CH connections are compatible
with the 3-pin captive screw audio ports.

IR IN is connected by a ground and
