Connectivity and compatibility

This transmitter supports a variety of source devices including laptops, media players, and legacy computers with VGA output. The inclusion of two HDMI inputs accommodates modern digital sources, while the VGA input with analog audio ensures compatibility with older equipment. The single CAT6a or CAT7 cable connection simplifies integration with Atlona HDBaseT receivers, making it easy to extend signals to displays or projectors located far from the source devices.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward thanks to the single-cable design that carries video, audio, power, and control signals. The power over Category cable feature removes the need for a local power adapter at the transmitter when used with a compatible receiver, reducing clutter and power requirements. Auto-switching detects the active input automatically, allowing users to plug in and present without additional configuration. For environments requiring centralized control, the RS-232 port supports integration with third-party control systems.

Ideal uses and environments

The AT-HDVS-TX is well suited to small and medium conference rooms, classrooms, training labs, and huddle spaces where multiple source types need to be managed discreetly. Its ability to extend signals over long distances while maintaining high video and audio quality makes it a strong choice for setups where the display or projector is located away from the user area. Integrators benefit from the reduced cable complexity and the ability to manage power and control signals through a single structured cable run.
