Atlona HDBaseT Scaler Receiver with HDMI & Analog Audio Outputs - AT-HDVS-150-RX

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-HDVS-150-RX is an HDBaseT receiver and HD video scaler designed to accept AV signals from an HDVS-150-TX transmitter over distances up to 230 feet (70 meters) of category cable in commercial AV environments. It provides integrated HD scaling, audio de-embedding, and automatic display control, making it a complete endpoint solution for small to medium conference rooms, huddle rooms, and training spaces that require both signal extension and display management without a separate control system. The AT-HDVS-150-RX also supplies Power over Ethernet to the paired HDVS-150-TX transmitter, eliminating the need for local power at the transmitter location.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-HDVS-150-RX receives HDMI and VGA signals transmitted from an HDVS-150-TX switching transmitter over category cable at distances up to 230 feet (70 meters) with CAT6a/7 and up to 197 feet (60 meters) with CAT5e/6. The integrated HD scaler processes incoming video up to 1080p and scales the output to the display’s native resolution, ensuring optimal image quality regardless of the source format. It outputs the scaled signal via HDMI and simultaneously de-embeds PCM 2-channel audio as a balanced analog output on captive screw connectors, enabling direct connection to an amplifier or audio distribution system such as the Atlona AT-PA100-G2. When paired with an HDVS-150-TX transmitter, the AT-HDVS-150-RX provides automatic display control via RS-232, triggering the display to power on when a source device is connected at the transmitter and to power off when the source is disconnected, without requiring a separate control system. This automated behavior simplifies system design for classrooms, huddle rooms, and small meeting spaces. The receiver’s RS-232 port also supports third-party control system commands for input switching, image adjustments, scaler resolution settings, and display control via included RS-232 control software. On-screen display menus accessible from the front panel provide local configuration options including resolution, image adjustment, and HDCP management. The AT-HDVS-150-RX is locally AC-powered and supplies IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet to the connected HDVS-150-TX over the HDBaseT cable, so no AC outlet is needed at the transmitter end. Available from Creation Networks, this receiver-scaler provides a cost-effective integrated solution for small-room AV deployments.

Key Features

• Integrated HD video scaler — Scales incoming video signals up to 1080p/60 Hz and VESA resolutions up to 1920×1200, with automatic matching to the display’s native resolution for consistent image quality.
• 230-foot (70-meter) HDBaseT reception — Receives AV signals from a compatible HDVS-150-TX transmitter over up to 70 meters of CAT6a/7 or 60 meters of CAT5e/6 category cable.
• Automatic display control — When paired with an HDVS-150-TX, automatically powers the display on when a source is connected and off when the source is removed, eliminating the need for a control system in small AV systems.
• Audio de-embedding — Extracts PCM 2-channel audio as a balanced analog output on captive screw connectors for connection to an external amplifier or audio system.
• HDMI and analog audio outputs — Provides both HDMI and balanced analog audio outputs simultaneously, supporting both display-integrated audio and external amplification.
• Power over Ethernet sourcing for transmitter — Supplies IEEE 802.3af PoE to the HDVS-150-TX over HDBaseT, eliminating the need for a local AC outlet at the transmitter or switcher location.
• RS-232 scaler and display control — Enables third-party control system integration for input switching, resolution adjustments, and display on/off commands; included software simplifies programming.
• EDID and HDCP management — Manages EDID communication with connected sources to set PC graphics resolution; HDCP compliance can be disabled for non-protected content via OSD or control system.
• On-screen display with front-panel controls — Front-panel menu navigation provides local access to resolution, image adjustment, and system configuration settings without a control system.
• Field-updatable firmware — Rear-panel USB port enables firmware updates without special tools, protecting long-term system investment.

Typical Applications

• Conference room and huddle room AV endpoint with integrated scaling and display control
• Training room signal receiver and scaler for multi-format source compatibility
• Classroom AV system with automatic display power management
• Commercial meeting space HDMI output and analog audio distribution at the display end
• Government and corporate boardroom compact AV system
• Multi-purpose room receiver for HDMI and VGA source extension over structured cabling

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the AT-HDVS-150-RX support 4K/UHD video signals?

No. The AT-HDVS-150-RX is an HD scaler and supports video signals up to 1080p/60 Hz and VESA resolutions up to 1920×1200. It is not designed for 4K/UHD source content. For 4K/UHD HDBaseT extension, consider the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX available from Creation Networks.

Q: How does the automatic display control feature work?

When the AT-HDVS-150-RX is connected to an HDVS-150-TX transmitter, it monitors source device connection status at the transmitter. When a laptop or device is plugged in, the receiver sends an RS-232 power-on command to the display. When the source is disconnected, it sends a power-off command, automating display control without a separate control system. This feature requires an HDVS-150-TX transmitter.

Q: What audio outputs does the AT-HDVS-150-RX provide?

The receiver provides two audio outputs: an HDMI output carrying PCM 2.0 audio embedded in the video signal, and a balanced analog audio output on captive screw connectors delivering de-embedded PCM 2-channel audio for connection to an external amplifier or audio system.

Q: Does this receiver supply power to the transmitter?

Yes. The AT-HDVS-150-RX is locally AC-powered and provides IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet to the paired HDVS-150-TX transmitter over the HDBaseT cable. No local power outlet is needed at the transmitter or wall plate location.

Q: Can the AT-HDVS-150-RX be controlled by a third-party control system?

Yes. The RS-232 port on the AT-HDVS-150-RX supports commands from third-party control systems for input switching at the HDVS-150-TX, image adjustments, scaler resolution settings, and display on/off control. Included RS-232 control software simplifies programming for common display control tasks.

Q: What cabling is required between the transmitter and receiver?

A single CAT6a or CAT7 shielded twisted pair cable supports transmission up to 70 meters (230 feet) at 1080p. CAT5e or CAT6 cable supports up to 60 meters (197 feet) at 1080p. No additional cables are required for power, control, or audio between the transmitter and receiver ends.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-HDVS-150-RX?

The AT-HDVS-150-RX is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Atlona reseller serving commercial AV integrators, corporate IT, and government procurement.
