To be presented at Stand 5-S92 at the Amsterdam RAI, the new Atlona Etude Sync (AT-ETU-SYNC) and AT-HDR-M2C resolve AV system design and installation issues frequently encountered with audio and video format compatibility, signal integrity, and EDID communication. Both products are HDCP 2.2 compliant and support HDMI 2.0 data rates up to 18 Gbps.
"Our customers have always looked to Atlona for simple yet very effective solutions whenever a problem may arise during system design or on-site installation," said Joshua Castro, product manager, Atlona. "With the increasing popularity and demand for 4K and HDR video, we are pleased to offer two new versions of our popular integration problem-solving devices that bring compatibility to new and emerging 4K HDR sources and displays."
The Etude Sync provides EDID emulation and Hot Plug Detect communication between HDMI sink and source devices. It detects and corrects for signal integrity issues associated with cabling or connections, and can resolve compatibility problems between a source and destination.
In addition to addressing HDMI signal and device-related issues, the Etude Sync reports HDCP compliance at the source and sink. It can manage EDID communication with the source, by delivering EDID from the display or the Etude Sync's internal memory.
This device is designed for AV system troubleshooting as well as ensuring reliable, consistent performance. For convenience to installers and technicians in the field, the Etude Sync can be powered via USB by the included power supply, a laptop, or any available USB port nearby.
The AT-HDR-M2C is an audio converter for extracting and downmixing multi-channel PCM, Dolby, and DTS audio from HDMI sources. It is ideal for commercial and residential applications requiring playback of multi-channel source content over displays, distributed audio systems, and whole-house audio systems.
