Atlona Room Kits provide bundled, fast-to-install AV systems for a variety of common meeting room environments. These spaces typically include AV technology that allows participants to present content to a display or collaborate via video conferencing. Making these systems work requires integration of video, audio, USB, control, display, and networking components from several different manufacturers. Engineering, configuration, testing, and procuring these systems, as well as dependably repeating them can often be difficult.
Atlona solves these issues by providing single-SKU kits for some of the most common spaces where AV is used including huddle, conference, and training rooms. These predesigned and preconfigured solutions include an exclusive wall-mounted rack with the majority of AV components already installed. The sleek, low-profile enclosure dramatically reduces installation time and discreetly mounts behind the display.
The AT-ARK-TR-201-KIT for LG displays is an Atlona Room Kit designed for training rooms that host sessions of up to 20 people. It provides routing of HDMI video and USB data for multiple devices, including remote inputs from instructors and students. The kit also features touch panel control, two PTZ cameras, support for a second display, and even more audio capabilities that suit the size and nature of the room.
Recommended, customer-furnished display size for this system is 85".
Routing and Extension
The Atlona AT-OME-PS62 matrix switcher with USB mounted at the instructor lectern provides USB-C or HDMI and USB connections for the laptop as well as USB for the audio system. The USB-C connection provides convenient and clutter-free setup for newer laptops and MacBooks by offering video, audio, USB data, and device charging on a single cable. Two Atlona AT-OME-WP-EX-TX-WP provide auxiliary input connections at the instructor lectern and a remote location routing to the OME-PS62 switcher. The OME-PS62 provides two matrixed outputs. One is an HDMI output to an Atlona AT-OME-EX-KIT supporting extension of content to display one, and the second is an HDBaseT output to an Atlona AT-OME-EX-RX receiver supporting content to display two. The two receivers also supply USB connections for their respective PTZ cameras.
PTZ Camera
The Atlona AT-HDVS-CAM delivers professional-quality video that is far superior to a conventional webcam. A large sensor and 10x optical zoom provide greater detail for recordings and video conferences. The two PTZ cameras in the system allow for proper framing of the instructor and presentations with one camera, and the rest of the class with the second.
USB
A key element of this design is its integration of USB to provide a superior videoconferencing/distance instruction experience over standard laptop resources. When the user connects their laptop to the system, they gain access to the high-resolution cameras and conferencing grade audio system.
Control
The Atlona AT-VTPG-1000VL all-in-one touch panel with integrated Velocity™ gateway acts as the central control processor for the system. The 10" touch panel features an intuitive graphical user interface, or GUI, that provides convenient access to system power, source switching, audio levels, and PTZ camera controls or presets. Over network connections, the gateway takes user input from the touch panel, or a BYOD device, and sends control commands to the display, switcher, audio system, and camera as well as a variety of other functions.
Audio
This room system has both ceiling and desktop microphones managed by a digital signal processor (DSP). Program audio from the laptop and other sources connected to the OME-PS62 is routed through the DSP to the Atlona AT-GAIN-120 amplifier, which supplies up to 120 watts of power to speakers mounted in the ceiling.
