Synopsis
Distributing diverse video signals across a large-scale facility requires more than just a standard switcher; it requires a modular, high-bandwidth architecture. The Advance modular matrix video signal routing solution (featuring the BLU-HDM-MX series) is engineered for the most demanding advanced AV integration projects. Supporting up to 18Gbps video bandwidth, these matrices are fully HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2 compliant, delivering uncompressed 4K60 YCbCr 4:4:4 resolution. With chassis options ranging from 8×8 to a massive 72×72 configuration, this solution provides unrivaled scalability. It is the definitive choice for professional conferencing solutions, command centers, and multi-room corporate offices, ensuring that every source is routed to every display with zero latency and absolute fidelity in your video conferencing systems.

Defining the Backbone of Enterprise Visuals
As organizations expand, their visual infrastructure often becomes a fragmented collection of independent screens and local sources. To achieve a truly unified environment, you need a central routing engine that can handle any input and deliver it to any output across the entire facility. The Advance modular matrix video signal routing solution provides this backbone, offering a plug-and-play modular design that adapts to your organization’s growing needs
The BLU-HDM-MX Series - Scalability Without Limits
The core strength of this routing solution lies in its modularity. Unlike fixed-port switchers that force you to replace the entire unit when you outgrow it, the BLU-HDM series allows you to scale up by adding I/O cards as needed.
Chassis Options from 8 to 72 Channels
We offer a range of chassis sizes to fit any project scale: the BLU-HDM-MX988 (8×8), the BLU-HDM-MX91616 (16×16), the BLU-HDM-MX3636 (36×36), and extended models supporting up to 72 channels. This makes it a perfect fit for everything from a small executive suite to a multi-floor government headquarters, providing a consistent platform for all your professional conferencing solutions.

Uncompromised Visuals: 18Gbps and 4K60 4:4:4
Routing high-resolution video over a distance often involves compression that can degrade the image. The Advance modular matrix maintains a full 18Gbps video bandwidth . This allows for the transmission of 4K60 YCbCr 4:4:4 video—the highest standard for professional visual clarity. Whether you are displaying detailed financial data, architectural blueprints, or high-definition audio and video conferencing feeds, the image remains sharp, color-accurate, and free from artifacts.
Future-Proof Standards: HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2 Compliance
In the world of advanced AV integration, compatibility is everything. The Bronx modular matrix is fully HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2 compliant. This ensures seamless “handshaking” with the latest 4K media players, cameras, and displays. You won’t face the “black screen” issues common with older hardware that cannot process the latest copy-protection standards, making it a reliable cornerstone for your conferencing equipment.
Streamlining Advanced AV Integration in Complex Venues
Managing a facility with divisible ballrooms, multiple boardrooms, and a central lobby requires a matrix that can handle diverse “scenarios.”
Cross-Platform Routing for Video Conferencing Systems
The modular nature of the BLU-HDM-MX series allows you to mix and match different card types. You can route a 4K camera from one room to a video conferencing codec in another, while simultaneously sending a separate presentation to a lobby LED wall. This centralized control is what defines professional conferencing solutions, allowing IT teams to manage the entire building’s visual flow from a single interface.

FAQs
What is the benefit of a "Modular" matrix over a fixed one?
Modularity provides flexibility. If you start with a 16×16 requirement but later need to add more rooms, you can simply add more I/O cards to the existing chassis rather than buying a whole new system. This makes advanced AV integration much more cost-effective over time.
What does 4K60 4:4:4 signify in terms of quality?
4K60 refers to Ultra-HD resolution at 60 frames per second. The 4:4:4 indicates that no color sub-sampling has occurred, providing the highest possible color accuracy and text sharpness. This is critical for professional conferencing solutions where data and fine details must be clearly visible.
Is this matrix compatible with existing HDCP standards?
Yes. The matrix is HDCP 2.2 compliant, which is the latest standard for high-bandwidth digital content protection. It is also downward compatible with HDCP 1.4, ensuring all your conferencing equipment works together without signal blocks.
How is the matrix controlled in a professional environment?
The BLU-HDM-MX series supports multiple control methods, including front-panel buttons, RS-232, and IP control. It can be easily integrated into third-party control systems (like Crestron or Extron) for centralized management of your video conferencing systems.
Can this matrix handle different types of signals like DVI or VGA?
Yes. Because it is modular, you can use specialized adapter cards to bring in legacy signals while maintaining a high-performance HDMI 2.0b backbone for the rest of your facility’s signal routing.
