    Overview

    The Blustream BLUARC is a multi-format audio hub for HDMI systems. It sits in an HDMI 2.0b signal path and lets installers pull audio out, put audio in, or send it wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones and speakers, while 4K HDR video passes through untouched.

    Inputs include HDMI embedded audio, analog L/R, optical, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC. Outputs include Bluetooth, the main HDMI output, an HDMI audio-only output, an HDMI soundbar output, optical and analog L/R. Bluetooth audio is 2ch only, and with two Bluetooth devices connected the codec drops to SBC.
