Blustream C66CS Contractor 6x6 HDBaseT CSC Matrix - 70m (C66CS)

The Blustream C66CS Contractor is an HDMI 2.0 6x6 HDBaseT matrix that distributes 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video, audio, bi-directional IR, and PoC over a single CAT cable—supporting up to 40m at 4K and up to 70m at 1080p. It adds CSC, video down-conversion, and simultaneous HDMI/HDBaseT on output 1 for flexible, standards-compliant installations.

Flexible 6x6 switching and distribution

This 6x6 HDBaseT matrix enables independent routing for multi-zone systems with straightforward connectivity.

• 6 HDMI inputs independently routable to 6 HDBaseT outputs
• Output 1 features simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT
• Advanced HDBaseT technology distributes video and audio over a single CAT cable
• Supports industry-standard resolutions from VGA–WUXGA and 480i–4K

4K UHD performance with CSC and HDR support

Advanced Colour Space Conversion (CSC) supports the HDMI 2.0 18Gbps specification, including HDR, while maintaining full 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 compatibility.

• Supports 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 up to 40m; 1080p up to 70m
• Bitstream passthrough of multichannel surround sound, including object-based formats, in line with HDMI specifications
• HDCP 2.2 compliant

Mixed-resolution display compatibility

Video down-conversion on HDBaseT outputs allows a display that supports only lower resolutions (4K 60Hz 4:2:0 or 1080p) to receive 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 content, while other outputs can show the maximum original 4K UHD resolution.

Control, integration, and IR

Multiple control paths and integration tools streamline setup and management.

• Control via front panel, IR, RS-232, and TCP/IP
• Web browser interface for control and configuration
• Bi-directional IR on all HDBaseT outputs
• Advanced EDID management
• 3rd-party drivers available for major control brands

Installation and power

The C66CS is designed for efficient rack integration and receiver power delivery.

• PoC (Power over Cable) to power compatible HDBaseT receivers (RX70CS recommended where 18Gbps CSC support is required)
• 1U design for 19" rack mounting; mounting kit included
• Supplied with Blustream IR receivers and emitters
