Blustream US Adds Five HDBaseT AV Distribution Devices

April 30th, 2021 Jeremy Glowacki

Blustream US has expanded its line of HDBaseT AV distribution products for residential and commercial integrators with five new solutions. Now shipping to the U.S. market, the latest additions to Blustream’s lineup include 8×8 and 6×6 HDBaseT matrixes; an HDBaseT receiver; an HDBaseT extender with audio return channel (ARC) control; and a four-way HDMI switch with HDBaseT.

Blustream US Offers HDBaseT with CSC Technology

Using color space conversion (CSC) technology, the 6×6 HMXL66ARC and 8×8 HMXL88ARC HDBaseT matrixes support 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 resolutions over distances of 40 meters via a single CAT-6 cable. Both devices offer advanced audio features designed specifically for integrating all AV sources in the system.

Each features an integrated audio matrix for enhanced audio routing, and via ARC, enables the audio from displays and all other sources to be embedded and routed through the system at the user’s discretion.

Designed to work in conjunction with the new matrixes, the RX70CS HDBaseT CSC receiver extends HDMI, bi-directional IR, and RS-232 signals up to 40 meters at 4K 18Gbps and up to 70 meters at 1080p.

The device supports HDMI 2.0 and enables ARC control when used with the HMXL66ARC, HMXL88ARC, or other compatible Blustream solutions. In addition, the RX70CS supports simultaneous analog stereo and optical TOSLINK audio breakout.

HEX70ARC-KIT Extender

The new HEX70ARC-KIT extender provides enhanced HDBaseT integration with the latest AV receivers and soundbars. Purpose-built for integrators requiring reliable ARC delivery via both HDMI and optical sources, the device distributes HDMI, ARC, optical audio return, bi-directional IR, and bi-directional power over cable (PoC) up to 40 meters at 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 and 70 meters at 1080p.

For Boardrooms, Classrooms, and Huddle Spaces

The SW41HDBT four-way HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDBaseT switch is ideal for boardrooms, classrooms, and huddle spaces. Using CSC technology, the device delivers HDMI and HDBaseT inputs to simultaneous HDMI/HDBaseT outputs.

The versatile SW41HDBT provides enhanced features, including PoC to power-connected Blustream transmitter and receiver products; a web GUI for configuration and source and display control via CEC; manual or automated source selection; RS-232 pass-through; and control via the front panel, IR, RS-232, and TCP/IP.

“Our commitment at Blustream is to provide integrators with the AV distribution solutions they need to tackle the challenges of any project,” said Jason Fitzgerald, Blustream US product manager. “By blending 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video performance with enhanced audio routing capabilities and functionality like ARC, our latest matrixes, receiver, extender, and switch deliver exceptional results in any setting – whether it’s providing advanced source and display integration in the boardroom or creating a truly immersive AV experience throughout the home. We couldn’t be more excited to make these solutions available to U.S. integrators.”
