It allows up to four HDMI source devices to be independently routed to four HDBaseT display outputs, giving installers a flexible platform for distributing video, audio and control signals across a building. The kit is supplied with four  RX70CSL HDBaseT receivers, making it a complete matrix package for projects that require reliable HDMI extension over structured cabling. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"2039\"\u003eDesigned around HDBaseT technology, the C44-KIT can deliver HDMI, bi-directional IR and PoC over a single CAT cable to each display location. This makes it a practical option for installations where long HDMI cable runs would be difficult, unreliable or impractical. With support for distances up to 70m over a single CAT cable, the system is well suited to meeting rooms, classrooms, boardrooms, sports bars, hospitality venues, reception areas, training facilities, large homes and commercial display networks. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2536\"\u003eThe matrix features four HDMI inputs, allowing sources such as media players, set-top boxes, digital signage players, presentation systems, computers or AV receivers to be connected and distributed. Each input can be routed independently to any of the four HDBaseT outputs, giving users the ability to show the same source on every display or different sources on different screens. This makes the C44-KIT ideal for projects where multiple rooms, screens or zones need flexible source selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2538\" data-end=\"3065\"\u003eOutput 1 also includes simultaneous HDMI and HDBaseT output, giving additional flexibility at the rack or local display position. This is particularly useful where a local monitor, preview screen or nearby display needs to mirror the first HDBaseT output without requiring additional distribution equipment. For commercial installs, this can be useful in rack rooms, control positions, bar areas, reception desks or teaching spaces where a local screen is needed alongside remote displays. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3067\" data-end=\"3523\"\u003eThe C44-KIT supports a wide range of industry-standard video resolutions, including 4K UHD formats. It supports 4K UHD video up to 40m, including 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz 4:4:4, 4096 x 2160 at 24Hz 4:4:4 and 4K at 60Hz 4:2:0. It also supports resolutions from 480i through to 4K, alongside PC resolutions including VGA to WUXGA, giving installers strong compatibility across a wide range of source and display combinations. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3525\" data-end=\"4079\"\u003eControl is a key part of any professional matrix installation, and the Blustream C44-KIT provides multiple options. The unit can be controlled from the front panel, via IR, RS-232 and TCP\/IP. It also includes a web browser interface for matrix control and configuration, helping installers and users manage routing without relying solely on physical access to the rack. Third-party control drivers are also available for major control brands, making the matrix suitable for integration into wider AV control systems. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4081\" data-end=\"4637\"\u003eBi-directional IR support allows control signals to be sent between the matrix and display locations, which is useful when source equipment is centrally located in an AV rack but needs to be controlled from remote rooms. The kit is supplied with Blustream IR receivers and emitters, helping installers deploy a complete control pathway as part of the system. PoC support also allows compatible HDBaseT receivers to be powered from the matrix, reducing the need for separate power supplies at each display location and helping create a cleaner installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4639\" data-end=\"5165\"\u003eThe 1U rack-mountable design makes the C44-KIT well suited to professional AV racks and equipment cabinets. Rack ears are included, allowing the matrix to be integrated neatly alongside amplifiers, network hardware, control processors and other AV equipment. With dimensions of 440mm x 212mm x 52mm and a shipping weight of 2.7kg, the unit is compact enough for standard rack environments while still providing the connectivity required for four-source, four-display HDBaseT distribution. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5167\" data-end=\"5570\"\u003eFor installers and end users requiring a dependable 4x4 video matrix, the Blustream C44-KIT offers a strong balance of performance, control flexibility and installation practicality. It is particularly well suited to projects where HDMI sources need to be distributed over longer distances using CAT cable, while maintaining centralised source management, IR control and a clean rack-based installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BluStream","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56640650445186,"sku":"C44CS-KIT","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/5767\/2578\/files\/BLUSTREAMContractorHDBaseT_4x4Matrix_5.png?v=1778514700","url":"https:\/\/www.theavbarn.co.uk\/products\/blustream-c44-kit-contractor-4x4-hdbaset-matrix","provider":"The AV Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
