    Blustream HEX70CS-RX HDBaseT Receiver

    Delivery in 1-3 days

    The Blustream HEX70CS-RX HDBaseT Receiver is a professional 4K HDBaseT receiver designed for use with compatible Blustream HDBaseT transmitters, splitters and distribution products. It is particularly well suited for use with the Blustream HSP14CS HDBaseT CSC 4 Way Splitter, where one HDMI source is being distributed to multiple remote displays over CAT cable. When used with the HSP14CS, the HEX70CS-RX sits at the display end of the installation. The HSP14CS sends the HDMI, audio, control and power signal over a single CAT cable, while the HEX70CS-RX receives that HDBaseT signal and converts it back to HDMI for connection into the display, projector or downstream AV equipment. This makes it an essential part of a point-to-multipoint HDBaseT distribution system where multiple displays need to show the same source from a central location. The receiver supports HDMI 2.0 performance with 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 capability up to 40m and 1080p transmission up to 70m over a single CAT cable. This makes it suitable for commercial AV installations where high-quality 4K video needs to be distributed reliably from a central AV rack, media cabinet or equipment cupboard to a remote screen position. Typical applications include hospitality venues, sports bars, retail displays, classrooms, meeting rooms, training spaces, houses of worship, reception areas and larger residential AV systems. A key benefit of the HEX70CS-RX is its Colour Space Conversion technology. CSC helps support 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 signals over HDBaseT infrastructure, giving installers a practical way to manage high-bandwidth 4K content across structured cabling. This is especially valuable when working with modern UHD sources and displays, where maintaining resolution, frame rate and colour performance is important for the overall viewing experience. The receiver is listed by Blustream as a 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 18Gbps HDCP 2.2 HDBaseT receiver using CSC technology. The HEX70CS-RX also supports bi-directional IR and RS-232 pass-through. This allows control signals to be passed between the central equipment location and the display position, which is useful when source equipment is installed away from the user. In a commercial bar, for example, the media source could be housed centrally while the control pathway remains available from the room or display area. In a boardroom or education installation, RS-232 pass-through can also support display or control system integration depending on the wider system design. Audio breakout is included, giving installers additional flexibility at the display end. The receiver features simultaneous analogue stereo and digital coaxial audio breakout, allowing audio from the HDMI signal to be routed into a local amplifier, audio processor, soundbar, DSP or wider distributed audio system. This is useful where the display’s built-in speakers are not suitable or where the installation requires audio to be handled separately from the screen. Power is also simplified through bi-directional PoH / PoE support. When paired with compatible Blustream hardware, the receiver can be powered over the same CAT cable used for signal transmission. This reduces the need for a local power supply at the display end and helps keep the installation cleaner, particularly behind wall-mounted screens, inside display recesses or at projector locations. Blustream describes the product as extending HDMI, bi-directional IR, RS-232 and bi-directional PoH up to 70m, with 4K supported up to 40m. For installations using the HSP14CS splitter, the HEX70CS-RX is the receiver to specify when 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 CSC performance is required. A lower-spec receiver may be suitable for simpler or lower-bandwidth systems, but the HEX70CS-RX is the more appropriate match where the installation needs to maintain the performance benefits of the HSP14CS. This is important for mixed commercial display systems where reliability, compatibility and image quality are all key considerations. The product is compact enough for installation behind displays, inside AV cabinets or close to projector positions, although the Alltrade product page does not clearly list dimensions or weight. Where exact physical measurements are required for project planning, these should be verified against Blustream’s full product datasheet before final specification. For AV installers building a Blustream HDBaseT distribution system around the HSP14CS, the HEX70CS-RX provides the correct display-end receiver solution. With 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 CSC support, 1080p transmission up to 70m, bi-directional IR, RS-232 pass-through, audio breakout and PoH support, it offers the connectivity and performance required for professional multi-display AV installations.

  • Blustream HSP14CS 4 Way HDBaseT CSC Splitter

    Blustream HSP14CS 4 Way HDBaseT CSC Splitter

    Delivery in 1-3 days

    The Blustream HSP14CS 4 Way HDBaseT CSC Splitter is a professional HDMI distribution solution designed to send one HDMI source to four remote displays over a single CAT cable to each display location. It is ideal for commercial AV installations where one video source needs to be shown across multiple screens, including hospitality venues, sports bars, retail environments, classrooms, boardrooms, training rooms, houses of worship, reception areas and high-end residential AV systems. Unlike a standard HDMI splitter, the HSP14CS outputs directly over HDBaseT. This means the splitter can be installed centrally in an AV rack, cupboard or equipment location, with CAT cable runs feeding each display position. This makes it especially useful where long HDMI cable runs would be impractical, untidy or less reliable. The unit distributes HDMI video and audio, bi-directional IR and PoH over a single CAT cable, supporting 1080p transmission up to 70m and 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 transmission up to 40m. This unit is to be used in conjunction with the HEX70CS-RX receiver. The HSP14CS features one HDMI input which is replicated to four simultaneous HDBaseT outputs. This makes it suitable for applications where every connected display needs to show the same content. Typical source devices may include a Sky box, media player, signage player, laptop, presentation switcher, video conferencing output, set-top box or AV receiver. In a sports bar or hospitality venue, it could be used to distribute one source to multiple displays around the room. In a classroom or training room, it could send a presentation feed to several screens positioned around the space. A useful feature of the HSP14CS is its HDMI loop output. This allows a local display to be connected near the splitter, or the HDMI signal to be cascaded into further distribution equipment where required. In practical installation terms, this can be useful for a local rack monitor, bar display, control desk screen or nearby presentation display. It gives the installer an extra HDMI output without needing to add a separate HDMI distribution amplifier at the head end. The unit uses Blustream Colour Space Conversion technology to support HDMI 2.0 18Gbps signals, including HDR, over HDBaseT infrastructure. This is valuable in modern AV installations where 4K content needs to be distributed reliably over CAT cable while maintaining compatibility with current display and source equipment. Blustream explains that CSC allows high-bandwidth 4K signals to be managed over the 10.2Gbps limitations of standard HDBaseT by converting the colour space while retaining resolution, frame rate and colour depth. Independent down-scaling is another key benefit. The HSP14CS can down-scale 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video inputs to 1080p 60Hz for screens that do not support 4K, or to 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 for displays that do not support full 4K 60Hz 4:4:4. This is particularly useful in real-world installations where not every display is the same specification. For example, a venue may have newer 4K screens in key areas and older 1080p screens elsewhere. The splitter helps these displays operate within the same system without forcing every screen to the lowest common resolution. The downscaling feature does not support 4K 4:2:2 input signals, so that limitation should be considered during system design. For audio integration, the HSP14CS includes HDMI audio breakout to both analogue L/R audio and coaxial digital outputs at the same time. This allows audio from the HDMI source to be routed into an amplifier, DSP, mixer, AV receiver, soundbar or wider distributed audio system. In commercial environments, this can be helpful where the display image is sent around the venue but the audio is handled by a dedicated sound system rather than by the screens themselves. The HSP14CS also supports known HDMI audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio transmission. This makes it suitable for both commercial and residential AV systems where embedded HDMI audio needs to be preserved through the video distribution path. HDCP 2.2 support is included for compatibility with protected modern HDMI content sources. Bi-directional IR support allows control signals to pass between the central equipment location and display positions. This can be useful where a source device is installed in an AV rack but still needs to be controlled from a room or screen location. The splitter also supports PoH to power compatible HDBaseT receivers, helping reduce the need for separate power supplies at each display point and supporting a cleaner installation.  The Blustream HSP14CS measures 307mm x 144mm x 23mm and has a listed shipping weight of 1.1kg. Included accessories include IR accessories, mounting brackets and a 12V / 5A DC screw connector power supply. For installers needing to distribute one HDMI source to four remote displays over CAT cable, the HSP14CS provides a capable HDBaseT splitting solution with 4K CSC support, audio breakout, EDID management, HDMI loop out, IR control and PoH receiver powering.

HDMI Extenders, Splitters and Matrix Systems

HDMI signals are often limited by cable distance, system complexity and the number of screens or sources required. Video distribution products are designed to overcome these limitations by extending, splitting, switching or routing video signals in a controlled and reliable way.

HDMI extenders are commonly used when a display is positioned further away from the source equipment, such as in meeting rooms, classrooms, bars, restaurants, retail environments and places of worship. HDMI splitters allow one video source to be shown on multiple screens, making them ideal for digital signage, sports viewing, menu boards and information displays. HDMI matrices provide more advanced routing, allowing multiple sources to be distributed to multiple screens independently.

Designed for Professional AV Projects

Our video distribution category is suitable for both simple and complex AV installations. Products within this range can support applications such as boardroom presentation systems, school display networks, hospitality TV distribution, retail digital signage, training rooms, conference spaces, reception displays and multi-screen commercial environments.

In many projects, video distribution needs to work alongside audio systems, control equipment, media players, interactive displays, projectors and commercial screens. Selecting the correct product helps ensure signal stability, correct resolution support, suitable cable distances and reliable operation once installed.

Supporting HDMI, HDBaseT and AV-over-IP Installations

Different projects require different methods of video distribution. For short-distance applications, HDMI splitters and switchers may provide a simple and cost-effective solution. For longer cable runs, HDBaseT extenders and matrix systems are often used to send HDMI over structured cabling. For larger or more flexible systems, AV-over-IP can provide scalable video distribution across a network-based infrastructure.

Key considerations include cable distance, screen resolution, source type, number of displays, number of inputs, control requirements, audio handling and whether the system needs to support 4K, HDR, ARC, IR, RS-232 or other integration features. Taking these factors into account at the design stage helps avoid compatibility issues and ensures the system is fit for purpose.

Video Distribution for Installers and End Users

This category has been created for AV installers, electricians, IT teams, schools, businesses and venues looking for reliable video distribution equipment. Whether you are upgrading an existing display system, fitting out a new commercial space or specifying equipment for a multi-room installation, The AV Barn can help supply suitable products for the project.

Video distribution systems can vary significantly depending on the application. A single HDMI extender for a classroom projector is very different from a multi-input matrix system for a hospitality venue or a networked AV-over-IP system for a larger commercial site. Our product range is selected to support these different requirements across professional installations.
