Atlona is shipping its OME-CS31-SA-C switcher that works with both USB-C and HDMI sources. The new AT-OME-CS31-SA-C is a 3×1 AV switcher featuring one USB-C input plus two HDMI inputs. The OME-CS31-SA-C consolidates AV switching, USB routing, audio mixing, amplification and control into one enclosure sized for placement behind a display, in a lectern, or under a table.

In addition the OME-CS31-SA-C integrates audio ducking which lowers program audio levels when the instructor speaks into a microphone system connected to the balanced input. Additionally, the system can be muted by contact closure or automatically when a school public address announcement is detected. Powerful digital signal processing also allows mixing a variety of audio sources to the amplifier, line, and USB audio outputs as well as acoustic echo cancellation to automatically eliminate echo for remote USB audio.

The OME-CS31-SA-C integrates a USB 3.0 hub that supports switching between two hosts and four peripherals such as cameras, speakerphones, interactive displays or other devices. Automatic display control allows the OME-CS31-SA-C to turn a display on or off based on input activity or by room occupancy when used with an Atlona AT-OCS-900N occupancy sensor. If a physical user interface is desired for system operation, the OME-CS31-SA-C can be controlled by Atlona’s AT-VKP-8E keypad controller or a Velocitytouch panel control system.
