The Story
Blustream HMXL42ARC Overview
Route up to four HDMI 2.0 UHD 4K inputs to up to two HDBaseT-compatible destinations with the 4x2 HDBaseT CSC Matrix Kit from Blustream. This versatile matrix switcher de-embeds audio to two digital optical ports and/or two analog 3.5mm stereo jacks. The switcher supports all known HDMI audio formats, input and output resolutions up to UHD 4K60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, and down-conversion on both HDBaseT outputs. An HDMI port at output 1 provides simultaneous output with that of the same output's HDBaseT.
The unit can be controlled via front-panel buttons, IR with the included remote, RS-232 via an optional controller, and TCP/IP over an RJ45 LAN port. The HDCP 2.2 compliant device boasts advanced EDID management and HDR support. The package includes two HEX70CS-RX receivers with respective mounting kits, a rack-mounting kit, and a 24 VDC, 5A power supply.
- Features four HDMI inputs, which can be independently routed to two HDBaseT outputs and one HDMI output
- Advanced Color Space Conversion (CSC) supports HDMI 2.0 18 Gb/s specification including HDR
- Supports up to UHD 4K60 4:4:4

- Supports all industry-standard video resolutions, including VGA-WUXGA and 480i-4K
- Supports all known digital HDMI audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X
- HDMI audio breakout to associated output analog L/R audio and optical digital outputs concurrently
