1.0 Introduction 

1.1 General 

As a member of Genesis Digital Matrix™ series of switchers, the HSM-44-BX  

matrix provides exceptional quality, intuitive operation and powerful control 

methods that are hallmarks of Hall Research's video matrix switches. 
The 4K matrix is a 4x4 cross-point switch in a compact 1-RU enclosure. Each output 

has integrated video splitter so that simultaneous  HDMI and HDBaseT are provided.  
The HDBaseT outputs extend HDMI, IR, RS-232, Ethernet, and Power over a single 

CAT6 cable to 100m  (328 ft). The HDBaseT outputs are compatible with all 

compliant HDBaseT receivers such as the Hall Research's HBX-R which is a cost 

effective Receiver that provides HDMI, IR, RS-232 and IP (Ethernet) extension and 

gets its power from the matrix for maximum convenience.    
The HSM-44-BX  supports HDMI resolutions up to 4K @ 30 Hz 4:4:4 and 4K @ 60 

Hz 4:2:0. It also supports HDCP 2.2 and 1.4, 3D, deep-color. PCM, Dolby, DTS, and 

HD audio standards. The matrix intelligently calculates EDID for each input based 

on the EDID of the connected sinks.  
Users are able to save and recall multiple matrix routing configuration PRESETs. 

HDMI outputs can also be blanked. The matrix includes a two-line character LCD on 

its front panel in order to display the current video routing and to facilitate creating 

or recalling Presets.  
The HSM-44-BX  matrix is ideal for conference rooms, multimedia presentations, 

digital signage, houses of worship, and many other settings.
