The Blustream 8x8 HDBaseT Matrix - 100m is a professional-grade AV distribution solution designed for the most demanding environments. This powerful matrix switcher provides advanced HDBaseT technology, offering uncompressed video and audio with zero latency.
Featuring 8 HDMI inputs, each can be independently routed to 8 HDBaseT + HDMI outputs, allowing maximum system design flexibility. Additionally, simultaneous HDBaseT and HDMI outputs are supported, allowing for connection to dual displays per zone.
Inputs 1 & 2 support Dual HDBaseT & HDMI, enabling integration of remote HDMI sources up to 100m distance with 4K support up to 70m. This makes it perfect for use in large conference rooms, lecture halls, and other commercial applications.
With up to 24x16 Audio Matrix independently controllable from video media, the PLA88ARC offers extensive audio control options. 8 independent analogue L/R audio inputs can be routed to audio outputs or embedded onto HDBaseT/HDMI outputs, while HDMI audio can be broken out to Coaxial digital and analogue L/R audio outputs.
Supporting ARC (Audio Return Channel) via HDMI or Optical digital inputs from compatible HEX100ARC-RX receivers, this matrix switcher is an ideal solution for home theatre and multi-room audio applications.
