The Atlona HDVS receiver scaler is a compact HDBaseT receiver that converts HDBaseT signals to a scaled HDMI output and de-embedded analog audio. It is designed to bridge legacy VGA/analog systems and modern HDMI displays while accepting power over category cable - PoCc. This unit supports remote control and integration for streamlined AV deployments.
Key features include HDBaseT input, a scaled HDMI output with embedded audio passthrough, and a balanced two-channel de-embedded audio output for local audio systems. The receiver supports RS-232 control for display commands and image adjustments and includes a USB port for field firmware updates. Power over category cable reduces the need for local power supplies and simplifies installation.
Technical performance supports video up to 1080p and VESA modes up to 1920x1200 with a bandwidth of 6.75Gbps. Audio passthrough supports lossless formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and the unit provides a de-embedded balanced 2-channel analog output. HDBaseT link distances are application dependent and typical ranges are provided for CAT5e/6 and CAT6a/7 installations.
Connectivity includes an HDBaseT input, HDMI output, balanced analog audio output, RS-232 control, and a USB port for firmware updates. The receiver is compatible with any Atlona HDBaseT transmitter and works with HDBaseT distribution amplifiers and switchers. It also supports automatic input selection, front-panel switching, and control via RS-232 commands.
This receiver is well suited to classrooms, meeting rooms, and corporate AV environments that need to mix HDMI sources and legacy VGA computers while driving modern displays. It enables centralized AV switching systems to deliver HDMI output and analog audio at the display location. Typical deployments include AV carts, lecterns, and fixed wall-mounted displays that require remote power and control.
The unit is wall mountable and ships as a compact metal enclosure for rack-free installations. RS-232 command programming is supported via included software and requires a host computer with RS-232 output for initial setup. B-stock units have been refurbished by the manufacturer and carry the full manufacturer warranty despite possible cosmetic wear.
