Blustream PRO-IN4HAB Pro Matrix 18G Hdmi Input Card

Product Description

The BLUSTREAM PRO-IN4HAB is a 4-port HDMI input card designed for use with BLUSTREAM Pro Matrix switching systems. It adds four 18Gbps-capable HDMI input connections to a compatible modular matrix frame, supporting the bandwidth required for 4K Ultra HD video distribution. Licensed AV integrators and low-voltage installation technicians install this card as part of a larger signal distribution build. The card slots into the matrix chassis to expand source-side capacity without replacing the entire switching system.

This input card is intended for professional AV installations where multiple HDMI sources must be routed to multiple displays from a central matrix. Typical applications include conference rooms, hospitality environments, multi-zone residential systems, and broadcast-adjacent AV racks. The 18Gbps signal path supports high-bandwidth content including 4K HDR sources. It is sold as a single card per unit.

Key Features

• 4 HDMI input ports per card for modular matrix expansion
• 18Gbps bandwidth supports 4K Ultra HD and HDR signal formats
• Designed for slot-in installation into compatible BLUSTREAM Pro Matrix frames
• Single-unit packaging allows targeted capacity upgrades without full system replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use with BLUSTREAM Pro Matrix modular chassis systems that accept 18G HDMI input expansion cards. Verify chassis slot type and firmware compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or certified AV integrator. Power down the matrix chassis completely before inserting or removing any input card to avoid damage to the card or chassis backplane. Follow the matrix manufacturer documentation for slot assignment and any required firmware updates after adding new input cards. Handle cards by the edges to avoid electrostatic discharge damage.
