Atlona AVS Series and AT-Line-Pro2
The Transition into the digital video age is years from being complete, and until it is, consumers will have to figure out how to use their older analog components with their newer HDTV displays. Atlona Technologies’ new series of composite and S-Video converters and scalers are designed to ease this transition, and with pricing starting at $199, they’ll do it without breaking the bank. This trio of units enables older analog audio video devices to be integrated into a modern digital system via Component, DVI, or HDMI outputs. Along with conversion, these units pack a scaler that will up convert analog signals toward the HDTV realm of 1080i and 720p. Analog audio can even be integrated with video through one wire with the HDMI unit. For consumers looking for an all-in-one solution, the new re-designed Line Pro 2 by Atlona Technologies is a scaler that will allow almost any video source to be viewed on a HDTV display. The device works by doubling the lines in your interlaced video, taking that standard definition from say your old Nintendo Game cube, with a native resolution of 480p, and up scaling the video to 720p, or even 1080i. The re-design includes the adding of a VGA port to the unit, which already boast connections for Composite video, component, S-Video, and HDMI. With the addition of the VGA port, you will able to connect your computer to your new plasma. This little black box is packed with features including PAL/NTSC conversion, Switching, Up/down scaling, and it even makes Julian fries! Ok maybe not the fries, but you get the picture. This unit is kind to your wallet, with a MSRP of only $579. Atlona Technologies has been putting out quality products for about three years now, and have quickly caught up to some of the bigger names in the industry.
Atlona HDMI matrix switchers.
Matrix switching means that you can literally have the same program material mirrored on multiple HDMI outputs, or use the switcher to send different sources to different displays - all at the same time. This is all about functionality and convenience and allows a truly versatile environment where a single rack of equipment can supply content to multiple independent rooms. Available in 2x2, 2x4, 4x2, and 4x4 versions. These units are perfect for digital signage, or for those who don’t want to purchase multiple HD-DVD players. With pricing starting at $499 (Model: AT-HDMI-22M), these units are a bargain Look for these and other hot products coming out from Atlona Technologies at booth #73728 in the Sands expo area of CES.

Atlona Flat HDMI Cables are now HDMI 1.3b Certified
10.05.2007 – San Jose, CA – October 5th, 2007 – Atlona Technologies (Lenexpo Electronics Company) is one of the industry’s faster growing Audio Video Cable Manufactures in the US has announced that their flat HDMI cables are now HDMI 1.3b Certified.
Atlona Flat HDMI Cables are offered in lengths up to 20 meters (66 ft) and support HDMI 1.3b standards for transferring high resolution video up to 10.2Gbps and high definition audio Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio(TM), Cables are available in black or white colors and could also be painted.
Why is Flat Cable better then Round Cable?
Technology has reached a point, where every little factor matters when we talk about digital video and audio transmission. The main advantage is that the conductors in the flat cable are much further away from each other than in the round cable; therefore, the crosstalk between conductors is greatly reduced. In addition, the cable becomes more flexible and more durable at the same time.
Definition of Crosstalk - the unwanted transfer of energy from one coupled signal path to an adjacent or nearby signal path.
HDMI 1.3b Bandwidth Requirements:
General HDMI specification requires enough bandwidth to support all current HDTV formats; however, the HDMI version 1.3b specification increases its bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support future HD display devices that could provide higher resolutions, Deep Color and higher frame rates. HDMI 1.3b provides the highest audio quality as it enables the full, lossless audio data of Dolby TrueHD to be transferred digitally to AV Receiver’s. All of Atlona’s Flat HDMI cables passed the Compliance Test Specification (CTS) ensuring they meet all bandwidth specifications for current and future HD formats.
Further more, Atlona HDMI cables were tested and passed an even higher bandwidth (387MHz) than was required (340MHz).
Atlona Flat profile HDMI Cable’s features:
Pure Oxygen Free Copper conductors (OFC) – to insure high speed signal transmission. OFC conductor has a very high conductivity, low signal loss, minimum degradation and low electric resistance.
Superior High-Density triple shielding technology - protects conductors from picking up electrical and radio frequency noise.
Industrial Quality Jacket – protects the cable from being damaged when ran inside the wall or placed under the rug.
Paintable Jacket – great advantage to those who are unable to install hdmi cable inside the wall, but have to run it on the surface of the wall. Atlona HDMI cable jacket can be painted to match the color of the wall.
24K Gold Plated Conductors – will insure full signal transfer from the connectors to the conductors without loss.
UL CL3 Certified – Atlona Flat HDMI Cables are UL CL3 Certified, therefore can be used for any in-wall applications.

User Instructions
We have a new product for those what want to convert Pal to NTSC or NTSC to Pal. Very cool device, no need to sell your Tv`s if you are moving out of USA or but new Tv`s if coming to USA or any other country. The Converter is Bi-Directional and can convert either from Pal to NTSC or Back NTSC to Pal. Anyway, read below:
----------
ATLONA MULTI-SYSTEM PAL/NTSC DIGITAL VIDEO CONVERTER
Model: CDM-660
Atlona CDM-660 is a Pal to NTSC and or NTSC to Pal Digital converter.
Applications used for:
Atlona CDM-660 Digital Video Converter delivers high-quality converted pictures, exceptional super-stable synchronism and superior color separation. It is ideal for tape conversion, DVD players, digital camcorders, video editing & capture, multi-system VCR and multimedia applications.
Tape conversion: You can exchange tapes with friends or relatives living abroad, or for business and education. PAL or NTSC (depends on the country you are in) VCR is required to do this. ( Note: if you have a Pal or NTSC tape then you have to have a VCR that is able to play that tape as well as a converter, you will not be able to play Pal tape in the NTSC VCR and so as you will not be able to play NTSC tape in a Pal VCR ). Make sure that you get an appropriate VCR when purchasing a converter.
TVs: Take your NTSC American TV overseas or bring your PAL or SECAM TV to the USA . Using the high quality conversion quality of the Atlona CDM-660 to convert TV signals you can use any PAL or NTSC TV to view any type of broadcast signal in the world. Eliminating the need to buy a new multi-system TV set. Since this converter has a digital video processing, you will have a very low signal degradation, almost impossible to see the difference.
International travel and relocation: You can use your video equipment with Atlona CDM-660 while traveling or relocating to a country using a different TV system. Can be used for many business purposes such as: Airline, Ship and Train.
Camcorders: Use your PAL camcorder in the USA or your NTSC camcorder overseas on a PAL TV. You can also convert movies from your camcorder. For example: Make a NTSC tape from a PAL camcorder using the CDM-660 to convert the signal.
Why our converter is more expensive then $30 analog converters?
Analog converters can only work with only one Pal or NTSC standard and there is over 14 Pal formats and 2 NTSC formats. Also, analog converter will require a TV to have a vertical hold function, where most TV`s no longer have it. Analog converters in most of the cases will not convert Frequency 50/60Hz and therefore will not work with many TV`s.
Atlona CDM-660 is a digital converter, which means that it will handle any Pal or Secam or NTSC formats, convert frequency, real time conversion, no signal delay, will not require TV to have a vertical hold or any other special features. CDM-660 is guaranteed to work for all TV`s and with all types of equipment.
Excellent features list:
No video delay. Real Time video Conversion.
Use your PAL/SECAM equipment in a NTSC country and NTSC equipment in a PAL country
Very easy to use, one time set-up no addition action needed.
