The BZBGEAR BG-UM44-100M-KIT is a four-input 4K HDMI matrix with four HDBaseT outputs. With Ethernet passthrough for all receivers, bi-directional IR passthrough, and full audio matrix functionality, this powerful switcher provides system-wide routing, control, and management from a single centralized unit.
HDBaseT technology allows an uncompressed HDMI signal to be transmitted over a category 6 cable at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). Combined with the four mirrored HDMI outputs, the BG-UM44-100M-KIT can send 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 video to eight displays.
Connectivity & Features
The BG-UM44-100M-KIT supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. The HDMI 2.0 ports are HDCP 2.2 compliant and transmit video at speeds up to 18 Gbps while supporting Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG formats. Each output performs 4K to 1080p downscaling and supports ARC (Audio Return Channel). With 24V power over cable on all HDBaseT outputs, the BG-UM44-100M-KIT supplies power to each HDBaseT receiver. Each receiver also contains dual LAN ports to connect extra devices to your network, greatly reducing installation time and the number of cables needed.
Full audio matrix functionality is also possible with the BG-UM44-100M-KIT. This allows users to select any of the HDMI, ARC, 3.5mm, optical, or coaxial audio sources and assign them to any of the HDMI, 3.5mm, or coaxial outputs. Two 3.5mm stereo, one optical, and one coaxial audio input ports provide audio embedding from external sources. Audio de-embedding is available from all four HDMI sources via analog audio (3.5 mm stereo) and digital coaxial audio outputs.
Control
The BG-UM44-100M-KIT can be operated via the front panel menu, IR remote control, RS-232, or a detailed web interface. Bi-directional IR control is supported along with full IR matrix functionality. Smart EDID management via the front panel menu and web interface eliminate HDMI handshake issues for fast and reliable input switching. With bi-directional IR passthrough, RS-232 passthrough, Crestron support, and dual ethernet connections on each HDBaseT receiver, this powerful unit provides a centralized backbone for system-wide control and connectivity.
