In a unique move, Atlona has reimagined a seven-yearold product and, rather than discontinue it, enhanced it with new features. OmniStream 2.0 is a free firmware update for its existing AV over IP platform that brings enhanced video quality, decreased latency, fast switching, a reduction in Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth utilization, plus additional features. At the heart of this update is the new VCx codec that supports 4K60 4:4:4 video over Gigabit Ethernet; decoder Multiview for layouts at each decoder; Ethernet link testing; ultra-low encode-to-decode latency of less than 1 frame (<3 ms) for lagfree IMAG; encoder dual streaming over 1 GbE; and encoder thumbnails. The features are available across the OminStream endpoints, now and for the future with now new part numbers. When combined with Atlona’s Velocity control system it becomes a comprehensive platform for any video wall.
