Atlona Omega 5x2 4K/UHD Multi-Format Matrix Switcher - AT-OME-MS52W

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-OME-MS52W is a 5x2 multi-format matrix switcher from the Omega Series, designed for collaborative meeting spaces, classrooms, and video conferencing rooms that require both wired and wireless AV source connectivity. It accepts HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort, and wireless inputs while delivering simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT outputs with 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz 4:4:4 performance and HDCP 2.2 compliance. As a wireless AV gateway and multi-format presentation switcher, the AT-OME-MS52W is the ideal solution for BYOD meeting room AV integration, USB-C presentation switcher for conference rooms, and HDBaseT matrix switcher with wireless screen mirroring.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-OME-MS52W is a 5-input, 2-output matrix switcher that consolidates wired and wireless AV distribution into a single device for modern collaboration environments. Its five inputs include two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, one USB-C (supporting Alternate Mode video output with up to 60 W device charging), and a dedicated wireless AV input. The two outputs consist of a local HDMI output and an HDBaseT output capable of transmitting 4K/UHD video up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CAT6a/7 cable, along with embedded audio, Ethernet, USB, RS-232, and control signals in a single cable run. The wireless AV gateway function supports native screen mirroring from iOS, Android, Mac, Chromebook, and Windows devices without requiring a separate app download, and a moderator mode allows a presenter or instructor to manage up to 16 wirelessly connected devices. The built-in USB extension addresses the need to connect USB peripherals such as cameras, microphones, and speakerphones between remote and local locations across an HDBaseT link, with two USB Type-B host ports and two USB Type-A peripheral ports at the switcher, plus a USB-C data interface for a third host PC. Automatic input selection activates when a source connects or disconnects, and automatic CEC display control powers displays on and off without a separate control system. A contact closure relay port automates electronic screen and projector lift operation, while a trigger I/O port enables occupancy sensor integration so the system wakes automatically when someone enters the room. Balanced analog audio output, RS-232 bidirectional pass-through, and IP control via HTTPS and Telnet complete the integration feature set. The AT-OME-MS52W is available at creationnetworks.net and ships with a universal power supply.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What wireless platforms does the AT-OME-MS52W support natively?

The AT-OME-MS52W supports native screen mirroring from iOS (AirPlay), Android (Miracast), Mac (AirPlay), Chromebook, and Windows (Miracast) devices without requiring any app installation. Each native platform can be individually enabled or disabled through the built-in web GUI.

Q: Can the AT-OME-MS52W power a laptop connected via USB-C?

Yes. The USB-C input supports up to 60 W of device charging (20 V, 3 A) in addition to AV output and USB data connectivity, enabling single-cable connection from a USB-C laptop for video, USB hub, and power delivery simultaneously.

Q: What is the maximum HDBaseT transmission distance?

The HDBaseT output supports 4K/UHD (4:2:0) up to 330 feet (100 meters) using CAT6a or CAT7 cable, and 1080p up to 330 feet (100 meters) using CAT5e or CAT6. Video, audio, USB, Ethernet, RS-232, and control signals are all transmitted over the single cable run.

Q: Which HDBaseT receivers are compatible with the AT-OME-MS52W?

Compatible Atlona receivers include the AT-OME-EX-RX (HDBaseT Receiver for HDMI with USB), the AT-OME-SR21 (Scaler for HDBaseT and HDMI with USB), and the AT-OME-RX11 (HDBaseT Receiver for HDMI with Audio).

Q: Does the AT-OME-MS52W require a separate control system for automated operation?

No. The automatic input selection, automatic CEC display control, contact closure relay for screen/lift control, and occupancy sensor trigger I/O allow fully automated room operation without a separate control system. For advanced control, the unit also supports RS-232, IP (HTTPS, Telnet), and CEC integration with third-party control systems.

Q: How does the moderator mode work for wireless presentations?

Through the built-in web GUI, a moderator (instructor, presenter, or AV operator) can view all wirelessly connected devices and either approve or remove (kick) any device from presenting on-screen. Up to 16 devices can be simultaneously connected wirelessly.

Q: Is the AT-OME-MS52W NDAA Section 889 compliant?

Yes. The AT-OME-MS52W is compliant with NDAA Section 889, making it suitable for deployment in federal government facilities and projects requiring compliance with U.S. federal procurement regulations.
