PLA88L-V2

8x8 HDBaseT Matrix - 70m

Our Platinum 8x8 HDBaseT™ Matrix delivers a range of industry leading features.

The PLA88L is a 4K HDCP 2.2 compliant 8x8 matrix, transmitting HDMI, Bi-directional IR and PoC up to lengths of 70m over a single CAT cable. The matrix also provides advanced features including independent audio routing, simultaneous HDBaseT™ / HDMI outputs, two HDBaseT™ inputs, RS-232 pass through to enable seamless 3rd party control integration and web interface module for control and configuration of the matrix.

The matrix can be configured using the Blustream Software, allowing the user to define audio channels, designate EDID presets and insert audio delays on outputs to correct any lip sync issues within the system.
