High-Resolution HDMI 2.0 Performance

The C66CS supports HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video with HDCP 2.2 compliance, ensuring compatibility with modern UHD sources and displays. Advanced Colour Space Conversion enables full 18Gbps bandwidth transmission while maintaining signal quality across extended distances.

Flexible Output and Down-Conversion

Output 1 features simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT™ connectivity, allowing local and remote display support from a single output. Integrated video down-conversion on HDBaseT™ outputs enables mixed-resolution systems, ensuring legacy displays can receive compatible signals while other outputs maintain full 4K UHD resolution.

Extended Signal Distribution

The matrix delivers 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video up to 40m and extends 1080p signals up to 70m over a single CAT cable. Support for resolutions from VGA through WUXGA and up to 4K ensures broad compatibility across diverse AV environments.

Advanced Audio and Control Capabilities

Bitstream passthrough of multichannel surround sound, including object-based audio formats, is supported in line with HDMI specifications. Control options include front panel operation, bi-directional IR, RS-232, and TCP/IP, providing flexibility for system integration.

Simplified Installation and Power Management

Power over Cable (PoC) allows compatible HDBaseT™ receivers to be powered directly from the matrix, reducing the need for local power supplies. The 1U chassis design supports 19-inch rack mounting, with mounting hardware included for streamlined installation.

System Integration and Compatibility

Advanced EDID management ensures stable source-to-display communication, while third-party drivers enable integration with major control systems. For full 18Gbps CSC performance, the RX70CS receiver is recommended.
