Blustream PRO88HBT100CS Custom Pro 8x8 HDBaseT™ CSC Matrix

The Blustream PRO88HBT100CS is a pre-configured 8x8 HDBaseT™ CSC matrix designed for AV installations requiring precise source routing and long-distance video distribution. It supports eight HDMI inputs routed independently to eight HDBaseT™ outputs, with four simultaneous HDMI outputs for local displays. Using HDBaseT™ Colour Space Conversion (CSC), the matrix delivers 4K UHD 60Hz 4:4:4 video over CAT cable up to 40m for full 4K signals, or 1080p up to 100m. Automatic downscaling ensures compatibility with displays that cannot handle full 4K 4:4:4. The matrix includes audio breakout, line-level pre-amp control, bi-directional IR and RS-232, and full network control via TCP/IP and web interface.
