Create Block Toeplitz Matrix

How can I create a block toeplitz matrix with all zero elements apart from the main diagonal band?
If A and B are scalars the example below works
rng(123)
A = rand(3);
B = rand(3);
T=100;
Omega = toeplitz([A,B,zeros(T,3)]);

A and B are not scalars in your example and if they are some, the last line fails also.
Please show us, which output you want to get.
Sorry, my bad. With the scalar example I meant something like the example below. Which gives a squared toeplitz matrix like the folloqing but where A and B are, say, 3x3 matrices.
A B 0 ...0
B A B ...0
0 B A ...0
0 0 B ...0
: : : ....B
0 0 0 ...A
A =1;
B = 2;
T=100;
Omega = toeplitz([A;B;zeros(T,1)])

C = {zeros(3),randi(9,3),randi(9,3)}; % {0,B,A}
N = 5;
X = toeplitz([3,2,ones(1,N-2)]);
M = cell2mat(C(X))
M = 15×15
5 5 9 4 9 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 2 3 4 9 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 2 3 2 1 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 9 7 5 5 9 4 9 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 9 7 8 2 3 4 9 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 9 9 2 3 2 1 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 9 7 5 5 9 4 9 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 9 7 8 2 3 4 9 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 9 9 2 3 2 1 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 9 7 5 5 9 4 9 7
Try:
rng(123)
A = eye(3);
B = randi(10,3);
Omega = kron(A,B)
gives:
Omega =
7 6 10 0 0 0 0 0 0
3 8 7 0 0 0 0 0 0
3 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 7 6 10 0 0 0
0 0 0 3 8 7 0 0 0
0 0 0 3 5 5 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 7 6 10
0 0 0 0 0 0 3 8 7
0 0 0 0 0 0 3 5 5

but that will be a block diagonal matrix, not toeplitz
What is your desired output? Do you mean:
rng(123)
A = randi(10,1,4)
T=3;
Omega = toeplitz([A,zeros(1,T)]
Omega =
7 3 3 6 0 0 0
3 7 3 3 6 0 0
3 3 7 3 3 6 0
6 3 3 7 3 3 6
0 6 3 3 7 3 3
0 0 6 3 3 7 3
0 0 0 6 3 3 7
