Product Overview

The Atlona AT-HDVS-150-KIT is a complete HDBaseT extender kit combining a 3x1 switcher transmitter with HDMI and VGA inputs and an HD scaler receiver for extending AV, power, and control signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single CAT cable. This HDVS Series kit is engineered for huddle rooms, classrooms, and small conference rooms requiring a multi-input HDBaseT presentation system with integrated HD video scaling and automatic display control.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-HDVS-150-KIT is a two-piece HDBaseT extension solution consisting of the AT-HDVS-150-TX transmitter and AT-HDVS-150-RX receiver. The transmitter functions as a 3x1 HDBaseT switcher accepting two HDMI inputs and one VGA input with analog stereo audio, making it well-suited to mixed-source environments where both legacy VGA laptops and modern HDMI sources must be accommodated. The transmitter sends AV signals over a single CAT5e/6/6a/7 cable, with the receiver powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) supplied by the transmitter — eliminating the need for a local power source at the display end. The AT-HDVS-150-RX receiver includes an integrated HD video scaler with HDMI output, allowing the system to adapt source resolutions to match the connected display and enabling control of output resolution via the front panel or RS-232. The receiver scales output resolutions to a maximum of 1080p, making it ideal for existing HD display environments. Automatic input selection allows the transmitter to detect active sources and switch to them without user interaction, while front panel buttons provide manual override when needed. Display control at the receiver supports automatic power-on and power-off commands via RS-232, and the transmitter also supports RS-232 control of the switcher and scaler settings. An on-screen display (OSD) on the transmitter provides menu-based configuration via front panel buttons, simplifying setup without requiring a laptop or network connection. Audio de-embedding at the receiver outputs 2-channel PCM analog audio for connection to an external sound system.

Key Features

• 3x1 HDBaseT Switcher (TX) — Accepts two HDMI inputs and one VGA input, covering the full range of laptop and source connectivity in mixed-device environments.
• HDBaseT Extension up to 230 ft (70 m) — Extends AV, control, and power over a single CAT5e/6/6a/7 cable to distances up to 230 ft at 1080p (70 m with CAT6a/7).
• HD Video Scaler (RX) — Integrated receiver scaler adjusts output resolution up to 1080p to match connected display capabilities, with front panel and RS-232 resolution control.
• PoE — Transmitter Powers Receiver — The transmitter supplies power to the receiver via Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af), eliminating the need for a local power outlet behind the display.
• Automatic Input Selection — Detects active source connections and selects them automatically; front panel buttons allow manual input override.
• Automatic Display Control — RS-232 display control enables automatic power-on when a source is connected and automatic power-off when all sources are disconnected.
• RS-232 Control — Supports RS-232 control of the switcher, scaler, and display from a control system, connected laptop, or the included RS-232 control software.
• Audio De-Embedding (RX) — De-embeds 2-channel PCM analog audio from the HDBaseT signal for output to an external amplifier or audio system.
• On-Screen Display (OSD) — Front panel menu system on the transmitter provides straightforward configuration without additional tools.
• HDCP 1.4 Compliant — Compatible with HDCP-protected content from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, and other protected sources.

Typical Applications

• Huddle rooms and small conference rooms with both HDMI and VGA laptop users

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable type is required for the maximum 230-foot extension distance?

The 230 ft (70 m) maximum distance at 1080p requires CAT6a or CAT7 shielded twisted pair cable. With CAT5e or CAT6, the maximum 1080p distance is 197 ft (60 m). For 4K sources, maximum distance drops to 130 ft (40 m) with CAT6a/7 or 115 ft (35 m) with CAT5e/6.

Q: Does the AT-HDVS-150-KIT support 4K sources?

The transmitter (AT-HDVS-150-TX) accepts 4K/UHD input signals. However, the receiver scaler outputs a maximum of 1080p. The system is intended for environments where the display is 1080p; 4K sources will be accepted and transmitted but scaled down at the receiver.

Q: Do I need to run a separate power cable to the receiver?

No. The transmitter supplies power to the receiver via Power over Ethernet (PoE) over the same CAT cable used for AV and control signals. A local power outlet at the receiver location is not required under standard operation.

Q: Can the AT-HDVS-150-KIT control the display automatically?

Yes. The receiver (AT-HDVS-150-RX) supports RS-232 display control, which can be configured to automatically power the display on when a source is active and power it off when all sources are disconnected.

Q: How does the automatic input selection work on the transmitter?

The AT-HDVS-150-TX monitors all three inputs for active source signals and automatically selects a newly connected or active source. The front panel buttons can override automatic selection at any time for manual input control.

Q: What are the recommended replacement products if the AT-HDVS-150-KIT is no longer available?

Atlona recommends the AT-OME-ST31A (three-input Omega Series switcher with HDBaseT and HDMI outputs) paired with the AT-OME-RX11 (Omega HDBaseT receiver) as functional successors for new installations requiring similar functionality.

Q: Can the scaler output resolution be adjusted?

Yes. The AT-HDVS-150-RX scaler output resolution can be set via the front panel buttons on the receiver or through RS-232 commands using the included control software or a third-party control system.
