Description
The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED is a compact 5×2 HDMI/HDBaseT switcher designed to centralize and distribute AV sources in professional AV systems. It accepts two Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT inputs and three HDMI inputs and provides mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT outputs for local and extended displays. The unit supports 4K/UHD at up to 60 Hz and transmits AV plus Ethernet, power, and control over a single category cable.
Key features include automatic input selection using hot plug detect and active video sensing, automatic display control via CEC / IP / RS-232, and Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT that supports PoE for compatible transmitters. The switcher provides audio de-embedding to balanced line-level outputs and supports multi-channel HDMI audio formats while de-embedding PCM 2-channel to analog outputs. EDID and HDCP management are available through the integrated web GUI.
Performance specifications include 10.2 Gbps bandwidth, support for 4096×2160 and 3840×2160 resolutions at specified chroma and bit depths, and compatibility with multiple VESA timings. HDBaseT transmission extends up to 100 meters on CAT6a/7 at 4K and up to 100 meters on CAT5e/6 at 1080p, while HDMI I/O ranges up to 5 meters at 4K. The switcher supports HDCP 1.4 and CEC-compliant display control.
Connectivity options cover three HDMI inputs, two HDBaseT inputs for use with Atlona HDVS transmitters, mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT outputs, balanced +4 dBu analog audio outputs, IR insertion, RS-232, and Ethernet. The HDBaseT outputs carry AV, control, Ethernet and PoE when used with compatible receivers or transmitters. Control options include front-panel switches, IR remote, RS-232 commands, TCP/IP, and management via Atlona AMS.
This switcher is suited for lecture halls, conference rooms, and presentation spaces where local and remote displays are required and simple operation is a priority. Automatic display on/off and input switching reduce end user complexity and lower operating costs by powering displays only when sources are active. Mirrored outputs make it practical to drive a confidence monitor and a main display from one device.
The SW-5000ED installs in a 1U half-rack enclosure and includes rack and surface mounting hardware for flexible placement. Setup and configuration are simplified by the integrated web GUI that manages EDID, HDCP, audio routing and display control without additional control processors. The robust metal enclosure and Atlona’s 10 year limited warranty support long-term reliability in commercial environments.
In summary, the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED combines HDBaseT extension, mirrored HDMI outputs, automatic switching, and de-embedded audio in a compact rackable switcher. It reduces system complexity and cabling while providing the controls and EDID/HDCP management required for reliable AV integration. The unit is an efficient choice for integrators needing 4K-capable distribution with display control and PoE support for compatible transmitters.
