OmniStream encoders can also be mounted in the OmniStream rack tray (AT-OMNI-1XX-RACK-1RU).  The rack tray 

is sold separately and provides easy mounting and organization of up to two OmniStream encoders/decoders in a 

convenient 1U rack tray.  The OmniStream rack tray can be purchased directly from Atlona.

1. 

Position the OmniStream products, as shown in the illustration below.

2. 

Using the included screws, secure each unit to the rack with a Philips screwdriver.
