Please note PoC (Power over Cable) has been disabled on this product by default to reduce the risk of damaging incompatible HDBaseT™ receiver products. Please check your HDBaseT™ receiver supports 24V PoC before enabling PoC on this Matrix.

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.

The Blustream range of matrix products include Matrix control via IR. IMPORTANT: Blustream Infrared products are all 5V and NOT compatible with alternative manufacturers Infrared solutions. When using third party 12V IR control solutions please use the Blustream IRCAB cable for IR conversion.
