PLA88ARC

Description

Our Platinum 8x8 HDBaseT™ Matrix delivers a range of industry leading features. The PLA88ARC is a 4K 8x8 matrix, transmitting HDMI, Bi-directional IR, RS-232 and PoH (PoE) up to lengths of 100m over a single CAT cable. The matrix also provides advanced features including independent audio matrix, simultaneous HDBaseT™ & HDMI outputs, two HDBaseT inputs and HDMI audio breakout and audio de-embedding. The PLA88ARC matrix is a HDBaseT™ class A product and includes additional features such as ARC (audio return channel) and LAN serving via HDBaseT™ over single CAT cable. The matrix can be fully controlled via TCP / IP, RS-232, IR or using the Blustream Software, allowing the user to define audio routing and conversion, designate EDID presets and lip sync control.
