Product Description

The Atlona AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC is a single-input HDBaseT transmitter housed in a US one-gang wallplate form factor, accepting USB-C as its AV and data input source. It transmits video up to 4K/UHD at 30 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, along with embedded audio, RS-232 control, and USB 2.0 extension, over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) using CAT6/6a/7 cable or up to 295 feet (90 meters) with CAT5e. The USB-C port operates in DisplayPort Alternate Mode and supports HDCP 2.2 copy protection, making it compatible with the latest protected media workflows. A built-in USB hub provides a host PC interface via USB-C and an additional USB Type-A port for connecting a peripheral device such as a speakerphone, microphone, or keyboard and mouse. This USB extension capability, with a maximum data rate of 120 Mbps over HDBaseT, is well-suited to software-based video conferencing platforms used in huddle rooms, training rooms, and conference rooms. The AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC is remotely powered by a compatible Atlona HDBaseT receiver or switcher via IEEE 802.3af PoE, eliminating the need for a local power supply at the installation point. Interchangeable black and white wallplates and faceplates are included for flexible aesthetic integration. Multi-channel audio pass-through supports PCM, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and other advanced formats from connected sources. RS-232 bidirectional control at baud rates up to 115200 allows integration with third-party control systems. The device is field-updatable via its USB port. The AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC is compatible with Omega Series receivers including the AT-OME-EX-RX, AT-OME-SR21, and AT-OME-PS62, as well as switchers with HDBaseT inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC charge a connected USB-C laptop?

No. The USB-C port on the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC supports AV output and USB data only. It does not supply power for device charging. Laptop charging must be handled by a separate power source.

Q: What USB-C functions does the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC support?

The USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output and USB 2.0 host data. It does not support Thunderbolt protocols or device charging. It is compatible with USB-C ports on Macs, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs that output video over USB-C.

Q: What category cable is required for 330-foot 4K extension?

CAT6, CAT6a, or CAT7 cable is required to achieve 330-foot (100-meter) extension at 4K/UHD. CAT5e supports up to 295 feet (90 meters) at 4K and 330 feet (100 meters) at 1080p. Atlona recommends CAT6a or CAT7 shielded cable for optimal HDBaseT performance.

Q: Which Atlona receivers are compatible with the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC?

The AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC is compatible with Omega Series receivers and switchers including the AT-OME-EX-RX, AT-OME-SR21, and AT-OME-PS62. It is not compatible with the Atlona HDVS-300 system for USB extension.

Q: How is the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC powered?

The unit is powered remotely via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplied by a compatible Atlona HDBaseT receiver or switcher over the HDBaseT cable. No local AC power supply is required at the transmitter location.

Q: Can the USB hub support USB 3.0 devices?

Yes, USB 3.0 devices that are backward compatible with USB 2.0 are supported. However, the maximum data rate over HDBaseT is 120 Mbps, which is a USB 2.0 limitation. USB 3.0-specific speeds are not available over this extension path.

Q: Does the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC include both black and white faceplates?

Yes. The unit ships with interchangeable black and white wallplates and faceplates, allowing integrators to match the installation environment without ordering additional parts.

Q: Is the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC compatible with third-party HDBaseT devices?

The AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC is designed for use with Atlona Omega Series receivers. For USB extension functionality, a compatible Atlona receiver is required. AV-only HDBaseT signal may pass to third-party HDBaseT receivers, but USB hub functionality depends on receiver compatibility.
