Atlona AT-OMNI-232 Analog Audio Bridge With Dante

Atlona AT-OMNI-232 Analog Audio Bridge With Dante

The Atlona OmniStream™ 232 (AT-OMNI-232) is a Dante networked audio interface that transmits and receives two channels of audio over a network. Part of the OmniStream Audio Series, OmniStream 232 devices are ideal for integrating microphones and other audio sources with a Dante-equipped DSP and OmniStream AV decoders. The OmniStream 232 features two balanced mic/line audio inputs with selectable 24-volt phantom power, as well as two balanced line level outputs. It can be powered over the network though Power over Ethernet (PoE), as well as from local AC power. The OmniStream 232 extends the power and flexibility of the OmniStream networked AV platform, by enabling facility-wide system designs that include complete audio system integration with Dante-based professional audio devices.

• Dual-channel Dante audio bridge
• Two balanced mic/line inputs
• Selectable 24 volt phantom power for each input
• Two balanced line level outputs
• Selectable input and output gain settings
• Local or PoE (Power over Ethernet) powering

Simplify audio over IP with Dante.- The OmniStream 232 lets you integrate microphones and other sources using Audinate Dante, the AV industry’s most popular audio over IP technology. You can also incorporate a growing number of professional audio devices with Dante built-in.

Ideal for facility audio distribution systems.- The OmniStream 232 is the ideal bridge into facility-wide Dante audio systems for conferencing, presentations, paging, and background music. When paired with an OmniStream VC-2 decoder, you can bring in de-embedded audio from an HDMI source, or embed Dante audio for a display.

Compact and discreet.- The small, slim enclosure makes this device perfect for installation below a conferencing table, in a rack or credenza, or behind a display. You can place the OmniStream 232 anywhere audio integration may be needed.

Easy to Configure, Simple to Manage- OmniStream AV over IP systems are remarkably easy to set up and manage – whether for a meeting room, residence, divisible room, or an entire university campus. Atlona Management System (AMS) 2.0 features automatic network device discovery, plus an intuitive web-based GUI that lets you configure virtual routing for AV, control, and data over the network – just as easily as you would with conventional AV matrix switching. AMS also streamlines and simplifies management of OmniStream systems through continuous system monitoring, notifications and alerts, event logging, multi-device configuration and backup, automated firmware updates, remote device control, and more.

Dante audio networking- The OmniStream 232 integrates audio with data networks using Audinate Dante, a popular audio networking technology widely used in the commercial AV and professional audio industries. For facilities with conference or meeting rooms, it is ideal for integrating microphones onto the network for processing by a Dante-enabled DSP, or incorporating into a larger Dante audio system for applications such as paging, recording, or sharing microphone resources between rooms. Additionally, this audio interface works with an OmniStream AV decoder for processing de-embedded audio streamed over the network, and embedding Dante audio for playback through a display. (Note: Dante audio over IP routing configuration requires Dante Controller software.)

Product Compatibility- The OmniStream 232 is compatible with the OmniStream 121 and OmniStream 122 decoders as an interface between OmniStream VC-2 streams and Dante audio streams. It is also compatible with third-party Dante networked audio devices for inclusion in networked audio systems.

Applications

• Meeting rooms and similar spaces with several microphones - OmniStream 232 units can be used to integrate mic audio into a DSP over a Dante network.
• Enterprises and other large organizations - In such environments, there is often a need for complete AV system solutions that include professional-quality audio for conferencing and sound reinforcement. (See this featured application as an example.)
• Facilities in which Dante audio systems are already in place, or are being planned - OmniStream makes it easy and convenient to tie in HDMI source audio, and also bring facility-wide background music and paging into AV systems.
