Blustream HMXL66ARC 6x6 HDBaseT™ CSC AV Matrix - 70m

The Blustream HMXL66ARC is a 6x6 HDBaseT™ AV matrix designed for distributing high-resolution video and flexible audio routing across multiple zones using a single CAT cable per output. The HMXL66ARC features enhanced audio routing via an integrated 20x6 audio matrix. This enables the audio both from displays and sources, to be embedded and routed through the system at the users discretion.

The HMXL66ARC includes a simultaneous HDBaseT™ / HDMI output on output 1, video smart scaling on all HDBaseT™ outputs, and PoC (Power over Cable) to the remote RX70CS HDBaseT™ receivers. A in-built web browser interface for configuration and control of the Matrix, along with RS-232 and IR pass-through to enable seamless 3rd party control integration.

Key Features of BlueStream HMXL66ARC

• Advanced HDBaseT™ technology offering distribution of video and audio over a single CAT cable
• Advanced Colour Space Conversion (CSC) supporting HDMI 2.0 18Gbps specification including HDR*
• Features 6 x HDMI inputs independently routed to 6 x HDBaseT™ outputs
• Output 1 supports simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT™ output
• Video Smart Scaling on HDBaseT™ outputs, allowing displays with lower resolution capability (4K 60Hz 4:2:0 or 1080p) to receive content while maintaining full 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 on other outputs
• Supports 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 UHD video up to 40m and 1080p video up to 70m
• 20x6 audio matrix with independent audio and video control, supporting:
  • 6 x audio breakout from HDMI source inputs
  • 6 x audio breakout from zone outputs
  • 6 x ARC from zone outputs*
  • 1 x optical and 1 x analogue audio input
• Supports bitstream passthrough of multichannel surround sound, including object-based audio formats
• Web interface module for matrix control and configuration
• Bi-directional IR and RS-232 supported on all HDBaseT™ outputs
• Control via front panel, IR, iOS / Android app, RS-232, and TCP/IP
• Supports 24V PoC (Power over Cable) for compatible Blustream RX70CS receivers
• Supplied with Blustream IR receivers and emitters
• Advanced EDID management and HDCP 2.2 compliant

*ARC feature supports HDMI ARC or Optical ARC
*PoC, CSC, and ARC feature compatible with RX70CS only

Flexible Video Distribution

Using HDBaseT™ technology, the HMXL66ARC delivers uncompressed video and audio over standard CAT cabling, reducing infrastructure complexity while supporting long-distance transmission. Colour Space Conversion ensures compatibility with HDMI 2.0 bandwidth requirements, allowing HDR and full-bandwidth 4K signals to be delivered where required.

Independent Audio Routing

The built-in 20x6 audio matrix allows audio to be routed separately from video, supporting a wide range of source and output combinations. Audio breakouts from HDMI sources and zone outputs, along with ARC, optical, and analogue inputs, provide extensive routing options for multi-zone audio setups.

Control and Integration

Designed for seamless system integration, the HMXL66ARC supports control via front panel, IR, iOS and Android apps, RS-232, and TCP/IP. A built-in web interface simplifies configuration and ongoing management, while bi-directional control over HDBaseT™ enables consistent operation across all connected zones.
