  • Page 5 / integrator. To obtain resolutions lower than 1080p, a separate scaler device must be specified. To obtain CSC pass-through the Blustream C66CS / C88CS Matrix must be used with Blustream RX70CS HDBaseT™ Receivers. Using an alternative Blustream HDBaseT™ receiver will result in the CSC functionality not being available so the maximum output resolution will be 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 (10.2Gbps).

    When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT cable quality. HDMI distribution products will only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable (or better) for installations, especially when running longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution. It is advised that using any method of patch panel, wall plate, or join within the CAT cable is avoided as these can add degradation to the signal.
