Blustream PRO48HBT70CS 4x8 HDBaseT Matrix with CSC - 70m

Blustream PRO48HBT70CS 4x8 HDBaseT Matrix with CSC - 70m

The Blustream PRO48HBT70CS HDBaseT matrix delivers HDMI 2.0 video and audio distribution from 4 HDMI sources to 8 HDBaseT endpoints over a single CAT cable. It simplifies multi-room routing and control, while also helping mixed-resolution displays stay integrated through independent output down-scaling.

Route 4 HDMI sources to 8 HDBaseT zones

This 4x8 matrix lets integrators send any of four HDMI inputs to any of eight HDBaseT outputs, so multiple displays can share the right source at the right time. Additionally, the system carries video, audio, and control signals over a single CAT run for cleaner installs.

• 4 x HDMI inputs
• 8 x HDBaseT outputs (RJ45)
• HDBaseT distribution of video and audio over a single CAT cable
• HDCP 2.2 compliant

4K 60Hz 4:4:4 and HDR support with CSC

Advanced Colour Space Conversion (CSC) supports HDMI 2.0 18Gbps video, including HDR, so compatible displays can show 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 UHD video. As a result, the matrix fits modern 4K UHD signal requirements across a structured distribution system.

• HDMI 2.0 18Gbps specification support (with CSC), including HDR
• 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 UHD video up to 40m
• 4K HDR support
• Supports industry standard video resolutions including VGA-WUXGA and 480i-4K HDR

Independent down-scaling for mixed display resolutions

Each CSC HDBaseT output can independently down-scale a 4K input, which helps lower-resolution displays stay in the same distribution system. At the same time, higher-definition displays can continue showing the maximum original 4K UHD resolution.

• Independent down-scaling up to 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 input
• Down-scaling to 1080p 60Hz
• Down-scaling to 4K 60Hz 4:2:0

Long-distance extension plus PoC for compatible receivers

The matrix extends HDMI signals over CAT cable, making it practical to reach distant zones in a rack-based system. It also supports PoC (Power over Cable) to power compatible HDBaseT receivers, which can reduce power provisioning at the display location.

• Extends HDMI 1080p video up to 70m
• PoC (Power over Cable) support for compatible HDBaseT receivers
• To be used with HEX70CS-RX receivers

Audio integration and breakout options

Audio breakout and analogue audio embedding add flexibility when a system needs to feed external audio equipment or integrate local audio sources. Therefore, you can manage video switching while keeping audio routing options available within the same platform.

• Audio breakout
• Analogue audio input can be embedded onto any HDMI input
• 8 x 3.5mm stereo jack (L/R) audio inputs
• Bitstream passthrough of multichannel surround sound, including object-based audio formats, in line with HDMI specifications

Multiple control methods for custom installation workflows

The unit offers several control paths, so installers can match the matrix to the control system and service workflow used on-site. It also includes a web interface module for configuration, which keeps routine adjustments accessible on the network.

• Web interface module for control and configuration
• Control via front panel, IR, RS-232 and TCP/IP
• Supports bi-directional IR
• Supplied with Blustream IR receivers and emitters
• Advanced EDID management
• 3rd Party drivers available for major control brands

Rack-ready 2U chassis for clean AV installs

A 2U, 19-inch rack format keeps the matrix integration-friendly for central equipment locations. As a result, it fits neatly into structured AV racks alongside control and network gear.

• 2U design for 19" rack mount integration
• Mounting kit included

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many sources and displays can this matrix handle? It provides 4 HDMI inputs that can be independently routed to 8 HDBaseT outputs.
2. How far can it extend video over CAT cable? It supports 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 UHD video up to 40m, and it extends HDMI 1080p video up to 70m.
3. Can it support displays that do not accept 4K 60Hz 4:4:4? Yes. Each CSC HDBaseT output can independently down-scale up to a 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 input to 1080p 60Hz or to 4K 60Hz 4:2:0.
4. What control options are available? You can control it via the front panel, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, and a web interface module for control and configuration.
5. Does it support sending IR control signals both ways? It supports bi-directional IR and includes Blustream IR receivers and emitters.
6. Does it support Power over Cable for receivers? It supports PoC (Power over Cable) to power compatible HDBaseT receivers, and it pairs with HEX70CS-RX receivers.
