Blustream HMXL42ARC-KIT 4x2 HDBaseT Matrix Kit - 70m (HMXL42ARCKIT)

Blustream HMXL42ARC-KIT 4x2 HDBaseT Matrix Kit - 70m (HMXL42ARCKIT)

This Blustream HDMI2.0 4K60Hz 4:4:4 HDCP 2.2 matrix routes four HDMI inputs to two HDBaseT™ outputs and is supplied with two HDBaseT™ receivers. It delivers HDMI, bi-directional IR and PoC over a single CAT cable, with Video Smart Scaling to accommodate mixed-resolution displays.

4K UHD distribution over a single CAT cable

The Blustream HMXL42ARC-KIT uses Advanced HDBaseT™ technology and Advanced Colour Space Conversion (CSC) to support the HDMI 2.0 18Gbps specification, including HDR, while distributing video and audio over a single CAT cable.

• 4 x HDMI inputs independently routed to 2 x HDBaseT™ outputs
• Output 1 provides simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT™
• Supports 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 UHD up to 40m; extends 1080p up to 70m
• Supports industry standard video resolutions including VGA–WUXGA and 480i–4K
• HDCP 2.2 compliant with advanced EDID management
• Supports bi-directional IR on all HDBaseT™ outputs
• Supports PoC (Power over Cable) to power supplied RX70CS HDBaseT™ receivers
• Supplied with 2 x RX70CS HDBaseT™ receivers

Smart scaling for mixed displays

Video Smart Scaling on the HDBaseT™ outputs allows a display that only supports lower video resolutions (4K 60Hz 4:2:0 or 1080p) to receive 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video content, while the remaining outputs continue to show the maximum original 4K UHD resolution.

Independent audio matrix and ARC options

An 8 x 2 audio matrix operates independently from video to simplify audio source selection and routing.

• Audio source inputs: 4 x audio breakout from HDMI source, 2 x audio breakout from zone outputs, 2 x ARC from zone outputs
• Audio breakout to analogue L/R and optical digital (S/PDIF) outputs concurrently
• Line level volume control on analogue outputs
• Selectable source from zone audio breakout or ARC via HDMI ARC or optical ARC
• Supports bitstream passthrough of multichannel surround sound, including object-based audio formats, in line with HDMI specifications

Simple control and integration

Integration is enabled by a built-in web interface and broad third-party control support.

• Web interface module for control and configuration
• 3rd party drivers available for all major control brands
• Advanced EDID management
