Introduction

The Just Add Power Omega Series is a 1080p HDMI over IP distribution matrix.

Every 2G Omega system requires 4 components:

  1. One 2G Omega Decoder per display
  2. One 2G Omega Encoder per source
  3. Managed gigabit Ethernet switch with enough ports for Decoders and Encoders
  4. IP-based control system

Each Decoder and Encoder requires a dedicated cat5e (or greater) network cable coming from the switch location.


Part 1: Decoders & Encoders

We manufacture multiple models of Omega Decoders and Encoders to support different hardware requirements at endpoints, and all models can be mixed-and-matched to work together.

View the full Product Catalog.

Compare 1080p Encoders and mix and match to fit hardware features to each source location.

Compare 1080p Decoders and mix and match to fit hardware features to each display location.

Consider adding Sound Encoder/Decoders as audio-only inputs and outputs that seamlessly combine with standard Decoders and Encoders.

Part 2: Accessory Parts

If the installation needs the ability to view multiple videos on the same display, consider adding a Tiling Encoder.

If the installation needs to display a video wall with displays rotated diagonally, consider adding a Warp Engine Encoder.

If the installation needs to control displays or sources with IR, consider adding Flux Capacitor IR Dongles to convert the RS232 ports on devices into IR emitters.

If the installation needs to store individual units in the rack, consider adding a Rack Shelf.


Part 3: Managed Ethernet Switch

Part 4: Control System & Drivers

We support a range of IP-based control systems - some developed by us, others developed by industry partners - to give you as the Installer the ability to provide the perfect experience for your client.

An IP-based Control System will allow full control of all things Just Add Power.
