he CLSO-840 offers both local and remote inputs and outputs for flexibility across AV formats and connectivity options, providing a powerful matrix solution for classroom, corporate, and hospitality environments. The matrix switcher will be demonstrated at Stand 5-S92 from February 7-10 at the RAI Exhibition and Conference Centre in Amsterdam.
The new matrix is equipped with five HDMI and three HDBaseT inputs, two HDMI outputs, and two HDBaseT outputs. It is envisioned for use in a variety of meeting room settings, such as videoconferencing suites requiring at least three independent outputs for connections to displays and a conferencing codec.
The CLSO-840 easily integrates into an audio system with DSP, through an independent 8x4 audio matrix that routes de-embedded HDMI audio to analogue audio outputs, with gain control and EQ also available. There are also four analogue audio inputs, each dedicated to embedding content onto a corresponding video output.
"The CLSO-840 is our response to many partner and integrator requests for a powerful, four-output 4K matrix needed in videoconferencing, distance learning, and training rooms," said Steve Kolta, product manager at Atlona. "At the same time, we made integrating complex AV matrix systems very easy and efficient through our free Atlona Management System, even for several CLSO-840 units in an installation."
