Atlona intros 4K Dolby Vision to A/V over IP solution

August 30, 2018

Atlona has announced its OmniStream A/V over IP platform now supports the distribution of 4K video with Dolby Vision dynamic HDR. The company will integrate this solution into its OmniStream Pro and R-Type Series for commercial and consumer A/V applications, according to a press release.

The solution can deliver Dolby Vision 12-bit HDR content at 60 frames per second over one or 10 Gigabyte Ethernet. Atlona uses an algorithm to preserve HDR metadata and deliver visually lossless image encoding and decoding for Dolby Vision HDR media players, Ultra HD Blue-ray devices and displays, according to the release.

"Everyone is aware that Dolby Vision with dynamic HDR delivers the best quality images, but the problem is that AV over IP systems as well as uncompressed video distribution systems being installed today are not fully compatible, possibly leading to many customer complaints down the line," David Shamir, director of product management, Atlona, said in the release. "OmniStream, with full Dolby Vision dynamic HDR capability will be the only whole house video distribution system that ensures the best possible A/V experience for the most demanding customers."
