Know before you buy
Yes, the BG-UM88-150L-KIT is a complete solution that includes both the 8x8 matrix switch and the necessary HDBaseT receivers for all eight outputs.
Absolutely. It supports 4K at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 18Gbps bandwidth, ensuring your video remains sharp and color-accurate.
The bi-directional IR extension allows you to control your source devices from the display location or control your displays from the source location, providing flexible remote management throughout your installation.
The unit features advanced EDID management, which helps the matrix communicate effectively with various displays to ensure the best possible resolution and audio settings are negotiated automatically.
HDBaseT allows you to transmit high-definition video, audio, and control signals over long distances using standard category cables, which is much more practical and reliable than long HDMI cable runs.
Yes, it is compliant with HDMI 2.0, meaning it is backward compatible with older HDMI devices, though you will get the best performance when using it with modern 4K equipment.
