The Blustream PRO16HBT70CS is a pre-configured 16x16 HDBaseT™ CSC matrix designed for large-scale AV systems requiring extensive source routing and long-distance video distribution. It allows sixteen HDMI sources to be routed independently to sixteen HDBaseT™ outputs with simultaneous HDMI pass-through.

The matrix supports 4K UHD 60Hz 4:4:4 video up to 40m over HDBaseT™ and 1080p up to 70m, with automatic Colour Space Conversion for displays with lower capabilities. It features a 24x16 audio matrix with Dolby and DTS support, HDMI audio breakout, analogue L/R audio inputs, and full IR/RS-232 control. Operation is available via front panel, TCP/IP, RS-232, or web interface, making it suitable for complex commercial or residential AV installations.
