Overview

Introducing BG-UM88-150L-KIT HDMI Matrix Switcher and Extender - a powerful device that lets you easily connect up to eight HDMI sources to 16 displays! With eight HDMI outputs mirrored to four HDBaseT outputs, the extender allows you to transmit video signals over longer distances than a standard HDMI cable. For instance, with 1080p resolution, the signal can travel up to 492ft / 150m, and 394ft / 120m at 4K, giving you plenty of flexibility when it comes to your setup.

This matrix is packed with features that ensure an exceptional viewing experience. It supports a maximum resolution of 4K@60Hz (YUV 4:4:4) on all HDMI and HDBaseT ports and has a maximum bandwidth of 18Gbps, guaranteeing a pure signal transfer for maximum image quality. The device also utilizes HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2 / HDCP 1.x compliant.

In addition to these features, this HDMI Matrix Switcher allows you to downscale video from 4K to 1080p if needed for each output port. It supports power over cable on all HDBaseT ports, eliminating the need for an external power supply at the HDBaseT receiver.

The device's HDMI audio pass-through capability enables you to handle high-quality sound up to 7.1 CH HD audio. With support for various audio codecs, including LPCM, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio, you can rest assured that your audio will be as crisp and clear as your video. You can even de-embed audio from the unit via analog and digital coax ports to use with external audio systems.

The BG-UM88-150L-KIT offers a range of control options to make your life easier. It can be controlled via buttons on the front panel, an IR remote, RS-232, LAN, web GUI, and our free BG-Switch-Control iOS/Android/PC/MAC application. The device also supports advanced EDID management and CEC control, ensuring seamless integration with your existing setup. Bi-directional IR matrix routing is also supported, making it simple to remote control the currently selected video source, as well as the displays from the source location. Say goodbye to messy cords and complicated setups, and hello to a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use BG-UM88-150L-KIT!
