Blustream emerged from Melbourne, Australia, as the brainchild of an experienced team of AV product managers drawing on deep roots in consumer electronics and multi-room AV systems. Without a specific founding year disclosed or a standout individual founder, the brand quickly established itself through a global development network spanning three continents, prioritizing practical innovation for installers and architects. Regional hubs in Australia, the UK, and the US underscore its rapid international expansion, now reaching over 90 distributors in 75 countries.
The brand specializes in AV distribution solutions, excelling in HDMI matrixes, HDBaseT extenders, AV-over-IP systems, and multi-format presentation switchers. All products standardly support 4K resolution at 18Gbps with 4:4:4 chroma, bi-directional PoE for flexible installations, and pioneering integration of HDMI ARC into HDBaseT signals—enabling TVs as seamless audio sources in multi-room setups. This focus delivers enhanced performance and reliability without the frills of consumer hi-fi like amplifiers, speakers, or DACs.
Blustream holds a strong mid-tier position in the professional AV market, valued for value-driven features that punch above their weight in custom residential and commercial installs. Partnerships like its US entry via RTI affirm its reputation for dependable, installer-friendly gear that prioritizes real-world utility over luxury pricing, making it a go-to for savvy integrators seeking robust video and audio distribution.
