Blustream PRO88HDMI-V2 Custom Pro 8x8 HDMI Matrix

Blustream PRO88HDMI-V2 Custom Pro 8x8 HDMI Matrix

The Blustream PRO88HDMI-V2 Custom Pro is an HDMI 2.0 8x8 HDMI Matrix that routes eight HDMI sources to eight HDMI displays with true 18Gbps 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video. It passes HDR formats including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision and is built for reliable custom installations with flexible control.

4K 60Hz 4:4:4 and HDR pass-through for accurate picture quality

Because the matrix supports 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 signals, it passes 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 without chroma subsampling. That means source devices deliver full detail and smooth motion to capable displays. HDR, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision are supported, so wide color and dynamic range make it to the screen without conversion.

Route 8 sources to 8 displays with consistent compatibility

With 8 HDMI inputs independently routable to 8 HDMI outputs, multi-room and multi-display setups are straightforward. Advanced EDID management helps each source “see” the right capabilities of the connected displays, reducing handshaking issues and helping avoid format mismatches in mixed 1080p/4K systems.

HDCP 2.2 compliance for modern 4K content

Because the matrix is HDCP 2.2 compliant, copy-protected 4K content from streaming devices and UHD players is passed to compatible displays without dropouts caused by encryption handshakes.

Flexible control: front panel, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, and Web UI

Setup and daily control stay practical. Use the front panel onsite, bi-directional IR for room-to-rack control, RS-232 for reliable automation, or TCP/IP for network-based control. A built-in web browser interface streamlines configuration, routing, and preset management. Third-party control drivers are available for major platforms including Control4, Crestron, ELAN, Extron, Loxone, DemoPad, Push Controls, RTI, Savant, and URC.

Pass-through for premium HDMI audio formats

Because the PRO88HDMI-V2 supports all known HDMI audio formats, it passes Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD Master Audio to compatible AVRs and processors. This keeps immersive soundtracks intact when you route video throughout the system.
