ATLONA 4K HDR HDMI Over 100 M HDBaseT RX for Opus Series Matrix Switchers
Installation Guide
AT-OPUS-RX
The Atlona AT-OPUS-RX is an HDBaseT receiver for high dynamic range (HDR)
formats, designed for use with the Opus™ Series of HDMI® to HDBaseT™ matrix
switchers. The OPUS-RX is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz
with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, as well as HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. It
receives HDMI, Ethernet pass-through, and bidirectional IR and RS-232 control
signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CAT6a/7 cable. Visually lossless VESA
Display Stream Compression (DSC) enables HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 video signal
extension
over HDBaseT with little to no latency. For additional integration
convenience, the receiver is remotely powered by an Opus Series matrix
switcher through Power over Ethernet (PoE). The OPUS-RX supports the HDMI
Audio Return Channel (ARC), with the ability to transmit digital audio from a
television back to an AV receiver through the matrix switcher.

Connect a digital audio cable from the TOSLINK™ port on the display to this port. This port serves as the input for the Audio Return Channel (ARC), receiving audio from the display and sending it to the transmitter. -
RS-232
Connect the included 3-pin captive screw connector to this port for bidirectional RS-232. -
IR
Connect the included 5-pin captive screw connector to this port for IR pass through.6 Ethernet
Connect a LAN cable from this port to either a network switch or Ethernet capable display. -
HDMI OUT
Connect an HDMI cable from this port to a display. -
HDBaseT IN
Connect to an OPUS series matrix switcher output, using a 568B terminated cable. -
LINK
This LED indicator glows solid amber when an HDMI output is connected and a solid link
is established between the transmitter and receiver. -
POWER
This LED indicator glows solid green when the unit is receiving power from the transmitter. -

IR
A 5-pin captive screw connector for IR control has been included. The first three terminals are IR inputs to be used with an IR receiver (AT-IR-CS-RX purchased separately through atlona.com),m the last two terminals are for IR outputs to be used with the included IR emitter.
IR IN is connected by a power, signal, and ground wire. Use with IR receivers to pass IR signals back to the transmitter.
IR OUT is connected by a ground and signal wire. Use with the included IR emitter to pass signals to the display from a control system.
RS-232
A 3-pin captive screw connector has been included for RS-232.
Pin out will be determined by the RS-232 cable and connect as RX (receive), TX (transmit) and (Ground).
Mounting Instructions
The AT-OPUS-RX includes two mounting brackets and four mounting screws, which can be used to attach the units to any flat surface
- Remove the top 2 case screws on the side of the unit.
- Align the mounting brackets to the side of the units.
- Use the previously removed case screws to secure the mounting bracket to the enclosure.
- Repeat the steps for the other side of the unit
4. Mount the unit using the oval-shaped holes, on each mounting bracket. If
using a drywall surface, a #6 drywall screw is recommended.
NOTE: Mounting brackets can also be inverted to mount the unit under a
table
or other flat surface.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solid | UTP (unshielded) | N/A | |||
| STP (shielded) | |||||
| Performance Rating (MHz | 350 | 500 | 600 | 800 |
IMPORTANT: Stranded or patch cables are not recommended due to
performance issues.
| Cable | Max. Distance @ 4K | Max. Distance @ 1080p |
|---|---|---|
