EU/UK Wallplate HDBaseT Transmitter with USB-C and HDMI Inputs
The Atlona AT-OME-TX21-WP-E is a 2×1 switcher and HDBaseT transmitter with USB-C and HDMI inputs. It is designed for commercial installations in Europe. Part of the Omega Series of integration products for modern AV communications and collaboration, the OME-TX21-WP-E includes interchangeable EU and UK faceplates and brackets. The USB-C input is ideal for AV interfacing with Mac, Chromebook, and Windows PCs, as well as smartphones and tablets. Video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, plus embedded audio and control can be transmitted up to 330 feet (100 meters). The OME-TX21-WP-E is HDCP 2.2 compliant. It is designed for use with Omega Series receivers and switchers, as well as other Atlona switchers with HDBaseT inputs. This transmitter can serve as an integral component of a fully automated AV system, with the convenience of automatic input selection and display control. It is remotely powered by the receiver or switcher over HDBaseT.
All-in-One Switcher, Controller, and Extender
The OME-TX21-WP-E combines the benefits of auto-switching, integrated display control, and HDBaseT signal transmission. It also enables input selection, volume, and display on/off control from external RS-232 or TCP/IP commands. The OME-TX21-WP-E incorporates many popular integration convenience features while delivering excellent value for classrooms, huddle rooms, and meeting spaces.
Automatic Display Control
The OME-TX21-WP-E provides control to a display through TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC*, without the need for a separate control system. This simplifies system design and integration while reducing costs. With automatic display control, the OME-TX21-WP-E can trigger a display to power on automatically whenever a laptop or other device is connected. At the end of the presentation, when the presenter disconnects the laptop, the OME-TX21-WP-E forces the display to power off. Ease of presenter interaction with the system, and the savings incurred by automatic display shutdown provide a significant return on investment. The OME-TX21-WP-E display control capability can also be triggered by an external control system.
* Consumer Electronics Control (CEC): Atlona does not guarantee the function of CEC with all televisions. We can confirm proper operation with many current Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, and LG TVs. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC “off” command when sent from a source and older TVs use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports those TVs that follow CEC command structure from HDMI 1.2a and support the “off” command when issued by a source. We encourage any dealer to get evaluation product from Atlona prior to designing a system around this control technology or be prepared to use other methods to control their displays if Atlona CEC is not compatible with the installed displays.
Reliable Auto-Switching
The OME-TX21-WP-E automatically selects an input source based on detection of the 5 volt hot plug detect (HPD) signal, as well as active video. This ensures reliable auto-switching operation for all video sources, including DVRs, DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort adapters, and other devices that always maintain the HPD line at the 5 volt “high” state but may not be delivering active video.
Applications
- Complete system integration – The OME-TX21-WP-E and a compatible HDBaseT receiver provide a compact, yet comprehensive and cost-effective integration solution.
- Larger system applications – The OME-TX21-WP-E is ideal for extending AV connectivity from a central equipment rack to lecterns as well as remote wall and floor box locations, where presenters can easily access the system.
