Atlona 4K/UHD 8x2 Multi-Format Matrix Switcher with Dual HDBaseT/Mirrored HDMI

The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-824 is an eight-input, two-output matrix switcher that lets you send 4K or Full HD video, audio, and control signals to two displays at the same time through mirrored HDBaseT and HDMI connections. It is designed for presentation spaces that need flexible signal routing, such as classrooms, meeting rooms, training labs, or small lecture halls.

Three HDBaseT inputs accept remote sources located as far as 328 feet away over a single category cable, making it easy to connect a wall plate, podium laptop, or overflow room PC without running long HDMI runs. Four local HDMI inputs handle nearby devices such as media players, collaboration hubs, or video-conferencing codecs. A separate multi-format analog input keeps legacy computers or document cameras in the system, so you can accommodate virtually any presenter.

The switcher’s mirrored outputs send the same content to two destinations, which is ideal when you want a ceiling-mounted projector and a confidence monitor to show identical images. Both HDBaseT outputs carry video, embedded audio, Ethernet, power, and control, simplifying installation at the display end. Built-in Power over Ethernet lets you power compatible transmitters and receivers from the switcher itself, reducing the need for additional power supplies behind walls or above ceilings.

An internal audio matrix mixer combines program sources with two mic or line inputs, so you can blend presenter microphones with playback content and feed balanced audio out to an amplifier or DSP. Switchable audio de-embedding allows you to send sound to an external sound system while video stays on screen, which is helpful for rooms that already have installed speakers.

System control integrates cleanly with third-party platforms through TCP/IP, RS-232, or infrared. EDID and HDCP management tools are built in, making it easier for integrators to match source capabilities with display requirements and ensure protected content plays reliably. Together, these features make the AT-UHD-CLSO-824 a practical core for any space that needs straightforward switching, distance extension, and robust audio handling without extra hardware.
