The Atlona AT-HDVS-200-RX is a multifunctional HDBaseT receiver and video scaler designed to integrate and simplify complex AV signal distribution in commercial and residential installations. This unit acts as the receiving endpoint in an HDBaseT extension system, taking a combined signal transmitted over a single CAT5e/6/6a cable from an HDBaseT transmitter and outputting it as HDMI video and audio. Its core function is to extend high-definition audio-visual signals over long distances—up to 100 meters—while delivering power and bidirectional control signals over the same cable, significantly reducing installation complexity and cost compared to traditional HDMI over fiber or multiple cable runs.

A key feature of this receiver is its integrated video scaling capability. It can accept a wide range of input resolutions and refresh rates via the HDBaseT link and scale the output to match the native resolution of the connected display, ensuring an optimal picture without overscan or format mismatch issues. This is particularly useful in installations where source devices vary, such as in meeting rooms or digital signage applications. The device also supports embedded audio extraction, de-embedding audio to analog stereo outputs, and often includes features like EDID management, lip-sync correction, and frame rate conversion to ensure seamless compatibility and performance.

Housed in a compact, rack-mountable metal enclosure, the AT-HDVS-200-RX is built for reliability in permanent installations. It is typically powered via Power over HDBaseT (PoH), receiving power directly from the transmitter over the same network cable, which eliminates the need for a local power outlet at the display location. With support for HDMI, control (RS-232 and IR), and audio over a single CAT cable, this receiver provides a streamlined, professional solution for extending and optimizing high-definition content in boardrooms, classrooms, retail spaces, and home theaters.
