BZB Express Introduces New Atlona AT-3GSDI-HD2 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI to HDMI With Stereo Audio Converter

Atlona AT-3GSDI-HD2 Full-Featured Device Combines Support for All Audio Formats up to 8-Channel With Industry’s Fastest Response Time at an Affordable Price Point


Atlona Technologies® today unveiled its new AT-3GSDI-HD2 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI to HDMI with stereo audio converter. Guaranteeing no signal loss, the AT-3GSDI-HD2 fully supports — and auto detects — all 3G/HD/SD-SDI audio formats up to 8-channel and is able to send audio though the HDMI port as well as through a separate stereo audio output when a DVI display is being used.


Ideal for the broadcast industry, the AT-3GSDI-HD2 is the perfect solution for monitoring and pre- and post-production where SDI camera or computer SDI output needs to be converted to work with HDMI or DVI displays. With a 0.1-millisecond delay, the unit is faster than any other SDI-type monitor on the market.


“We are very excited to introduce our AT-3GSDI-HD2 to the broadcast market. With its ability to support all SDI formats, incredibly fast response time, and stereo audio output, no other solution in the industry can match the features of this converter at such an attractive price point,” said Ilya Khayn, president of Atlona Technologies. “Competing devices with fewer features are far more expensive, which is why we designed the AT-3GSDI-HD2 to allow broadcasters to lower costs, while ensuring the reliability of their systems.”


Providing full EDID integration, the AT-3GSDI-HD2 features a re-clocked SDI loop-out to allow daisy chaining or connectionto a local SDI display. The unit offers a locking HDMI port for broadcast applications and a locking 5-V power supply, with an optional USB power supply available.


The AT-3GSDI-HD2 is available now from BZB Express at MSRP of $349.

BZB Express ships AT-HD4-SI40SR and AT-HD4-V110SR High-Speed HDMI Extender Kits With Full 3D Support

Atlona Technologies® today announced that the company is now shipping its new AT-HD4-SI40SR and AT-HD4-V110SR high-speed HDMI extender kits. The perfect solution for remotely lo­cated Blu-ray™ players, Sony® PlayStations®, Apple TVs®, video codecs, and matrix switchers, the low-cost AT-HD4-SI40SR extends full HD 1080p or 1920x1200 signals from an HDMI source up to 130 feet over a single Cat 5/5e/6/7 cable. Featuring HDBaseT technology, the AT-HD4-V110SR extends HDMI sources up to 350 feet at 4Kx2K resolution while providing bidirectional RS-232, IR, and Ethernet pass-through. In addition, the units provide support for Deep Color, HDCP, and full 3D, while preserving 7.1-channel digital audio, including DTS-HD and Dolby® TrueHD.


HDMI.org only certifies HDMI cables up to 33 feet, posing a challenge for installers needing to deliver a reliable signal from remotely located devices. To address this issue, Atlona’s HDMI extenders feature two independent power supplies and allow the transmission to be reliably extended by up to 130 feet at 1080p, 200 feet at 720p/1080i by the AT-HD4-SI40SR, or 350 feet at 4Kx2K (four times the resolution of 1080p) by the AT-HD4-V110SR.


The AT-HD4-SI40SR features seven selectable on-board EDID modes, plus a learning feature, to ensure that optimal display requirements are met. And while other extenders are not yet capable of providing 3D support, the AT-HD4-SI40SR and AT-HD4-V110SR can pass on the newer 3D EDID currently being used by 3D displays, while still maintain­ing a lower price point.


With Ethernet pass-through, the AT-HD4-V110SR eliminates the need for an additional dedicated cable run for displays with on-board applications, such as Pandora and Netflix®. Support for bidirectional IR and RS-232 make the unit ideal for use with control and automation solutions. The AT-HD4-V110SR complies with all Video Electronics Standards As­sociation (VESA) formats utilized with specialized projectors or commercial LCD panels, and supports refresh rates of 24, 30, 50, and 60 Hz.


“We are very excited to announce our new AT-HD4-SI40SR and AT-HD4-V110SR HDMI extenders,” said Steve Heintz, product manager for Atlona’s Si line. “Although the AT-HD4-SI40SR is our entry-level active extender, we designed it with full compatibility in mind for current and future formats. Add to that the HDBaseT AT-HD4-V110SR’s ability to extend 4Kx2K resolution up to 350 feet with bidirectional RS-232, IR, and Ethernet pass through, and we can proudly say that we now offer installers a complete suite of extenders that work with today’s latest technologies.”


The AT-HD4-SI40SR and AT-HD4-V110SR are available now from BZB Express at MSRPs of $229 and $499, respectively.
