Atlona is raising the bar for visual quality, performance, and integration convenience in networked AV deployments with the launch of its free upgrade for its OmniStream AV-over-IP platform. The new OmniStream 2.0 firmware adds support for 4K/60 video with 4:4:4 color sampling alongside significantly improved bitrate efficiency, and integrated multiview processing capabilities.
OmniStream 2.0 features the new VCx codec, enabling 4K/60 4:4:4 streams with artifact-free presentation of both computer-generated content and fast-motion video. Significant gains in coding efficiency—compared to the earlier-generation VC-2 codec—enable more HD streams over 1 Gigabit Ethernet networks, multiple 4K streams over 10 Gigabit switch-to-switch uplinks, and simultaneous 4K and HD over Gigabit Ethernet. VCx also offers ultra-low latency of less than 1 frame from encode to decode.
