Presentation Matrix Switcher Scaler Extender and Audio Processor
The OME-PS62 combines the benefits of 4K/UHD scaling auto-switching integrated display control microphone input with mixing and ducking USB extension 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 powering and data connectivity (to the local USB hub and over HDBaseT). The OME-PS62 can remotely power Atlona HDBaseT devices through Power over Ethernet (PoE). For additional integration convenience the OME-PS62 features audio embedding and de-embedding audio output matrix mixing internal video test patterns for setup and troubleshooting a customizable welcome splash screen for meeting presenters and remote management with AMS (Atlona Management System).

Automatic Display Control
The OME-PS62 can provide 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-PS62 can trigger a display to power on automatically whenever a laptop or other device is connected to the OME-PS62. At the end of the presentation when the presenter disconnects the laptop the OME-PS62 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-PS62 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
Depending on the selected switching mode the OME-PS62 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
• Meeting rooms and conference rooms – The OME-PS62 can serve as an AV integration centerpiece in a credenza with interfacing into sources in the rack plus remote AV and USB data connectivity from wall table and display locations.
• Video conferencing – With compatible Omega Series endpoints this presentation switcher provides interfacing for local and remote USB devices for soft codec conferencing with video and USB switched together between host PCs. As a matrix switcher with scaling the OME-PS62 is also ideal for hardware-based video conferencing with the ability to route and optimize any source content to the codec far-end.
• Auditoriums and lecture halls – The HDBaseT output of the OME-PS62 can be used to extend 4K video to a projector while the HDMI output serves to optimize for a 1080p or 4K confidence monitor. Also available is a mic input and mixing with program audio.
• Active learning classrooms – In education applications the OME-PS62 can be installed below each student table with the HDMI output feeding a local display and the HDBaseT output used to send content to the main classroom AV switcher and display.
• Lecture capture – The secondary HDMI output can also be used to feed into a lecture capture or streaming video system with video scaled as appropriate for the application.
