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.
