The PRO88HBT100CS is a HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDCP 2.2 Matrix utilising CSC technology to deliver HDMI, Bi-directional IR, PoC up to lengths of 100m over a single CAT cable (4K HDR up to 70m) with independent down-scaling of 4K video inputs on the CSC HDBaseT™ outputs to allow displays only capable of supporting lower video resolutions to receive 4K video while still showing maximum original 4K UHD resolution on the higher-definition displays.

The Matrix also provides advanced features including 4 x simultaneous HDMI outputs, audio breakout with line level pre amp volume control and a web browser interface module for control and configuration of the matrix.

Colour Space Conversion (CSC) Technology in HDBaseT™

Due to the data rate of HDBaseT™ technology being capped at 10.2Gbps, it is unable to pass the latest native 4K UHD resolutions of 4K 60Hz 4:4:4. There is now a requirement to integrate video resolutions with data speeds up to 18Gbps across a multi-zone AV environment. Blustream have implemented CSC (Colour Space Conversion) technology into our latest products to ensure 4K HDR signals can now be supported over the limited infrastructure of HDBaseT™. Colour Space Conversion reduces the data rate of the HDMI signal by converting the colour space from 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 to a lower format. Within Colour Space Conversion technology the native resolution and frame rate remain constant from end to end. The only part of the signal that is converted during transmission is the colour. Blustream CSC products do not support HDR10+ or the dynamic variation of Dolby Vision due to the way these specific variations of dynamic HDR (dHDR) are encoded. These codecs transmit repeated metadata packets throughout the transmission of any media making it impossible at this stage to convert in the same way using CSC technology.
