Compact, Flexible Switcher with Integrated AV System Automation

The OME-MH21 combines the benefits of auto-switching, integrated display control, USB interfacing, and more. It incorporates many popular integration convenience features, while delivering excellent performance and value for 4K presentation and video conferencing applications. The USB-C input is ideal for AV interfacing with newer laptops and mobile devices, plus data connectivity to the USB hub. For additional integration convenience, the OME-MH21 features audio de-embedding and remote management with Atlona Management System (AMS).

Automatic Display Control

The OME-MH21 provides control to a display through IP, RS-232, IR, 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-MH21 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-MH21 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-MH21 display control capability can also be triggered by an external control system.

Reliable Auto-Switching

The OME-MH21 can automatically select 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

Huddle rooms and small meeting spaces – The OME-MH21 provides a compact, yet comprehensive and cost-effective integration solution. When installed below a meeting table, the available Pocket™ 3H (AT-PKT-3H) provides convenient tabletop AV and USB cable access for easy BYOD connectivity.

Video conferencing – This switcher provides interfacing with USB devices for soft codec conferencing, with video and USB switched together between two host PCs. The USB interfacing is also ideal for a touch-enabled display, enabling on-screen control of a PC.
