Introduction

Our Contractor CMX44CS 4K HDMI Matrix offers unprecedented performance and value for the custom installation market. The CMX44CS supports HDMI2.0 with HDCP2.2, allowing distribution of four HDMI sources to four displays. This enables all sources to be viewed as required within a matrix configuration. The unit transmits all HDMI resolutions up to and including 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 with automatic video down conversion. The 4-way matrix also includes audio breakout and advanced EDID management.

EDID Control

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre- determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of Matrix EDID settings can be achieved in one of four ways:

1. Using Matrix web browser interface (see the section on Web GUI Control)
2. Using API commands via RS-232 or Telnet (see below)
3. Using Matrix EDID dipswitches (see below

To configure the EDID via RS-232/Telnet API:

• Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following API commands to specify the required EDID. Please see the section on RS-232 and Telnet
• API at the end of this manual for connectivity information

To configure the EDID via DIP Switch:
To configure the global EDID for all inputs via the DIP switch, use the settings below. Note this will override and disallow any EDID settings configured via the web GUI.

Infrared (IR) Control

The Blustream range of matrix products includes Matrix control via IR.
IMPORTANT: Blustream Infrared products are all 5V and NOT compatible with alternative manufacturers’ Infrared solutions. When using third-party 12V IR control solutions please use the Blustream IRCAB cable for IR conversion

Web-GUI Control

The following pages take you through the operation of this Matrix’s Web-GUI. You must connect the TCP/IP RJ45 socket to your local network to access the product’s Web-GUI.
By default the matrix is set to DHCP, however, if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed the matrix IP address will revert to the below details:

• Default IP Address is: 192.168.0.200
• Default Username is: blustream
• Default Password is: 1234

The device can also be accessed via its mDNS name which is defaulted to: http://cmx44cs.local/
The Web-GUI supports multiple users along with multiple user permissions as follows:

• Guest Account – This account does not require a user to log in. The Guest account can only change sources for each zone. Guest access can be changed by the Admin, limiting inputs or outputs as necessary.
• User Accounts – User accounts can be utilized, each with individual login details. User accounts can be assigned permissions to specific areas and functions. A User must log in to make use of these functions.
• Admin Account – This account allows full access to all functions of the Matrix as well as assigning users with permissions.

Login Page
The Login Page allows a user or admin to login and access additional functionality within the Web GUI.

Once you select a user from the list you will be asked to enter the pasword for that user in order to sign in.

Please note the first time you log in to the web GUI you will be asked to change the default admin password. It is important to record this password as there is no way to recover it in the event that it is forgotten.

Guest Control Page

• The Guest Control Page allows a guest to change inputs for each zone without needing to be logged into the matrix. Simply select the square that corresponds with the input and zone you wish to change.
• There is also a power button on the top right corner to turn the Matrix on or off.

User Control Page
The logged in User or Admin Control Page allows a user to change inputs and presets for each zone. To change inputs, simply select the square that corresponds with the input and zone output you wish to change. On the right side you can recall a preset, or save the current input/output configuration into a specified preset. There is also the ability to turn on or off the video (and audio) to each output via the Video Mute buttons.
The user can also update their password via the Update Password button, or log out via the Log Out button.

Input Page

• The Input Page allows users to change settings specific to the inputs of the matrix.
• You can adjust the name of each input, the EDID of each input as select the audio source for each input, as well as see the status of HDMI cables and sources connected to each input.

Output Page

• The Output Page allows users to change settings specific to the outputs of the matrix.
• You can adjust the name of each output, adjust the output scaling between matching the TV based on its EDID, forcing a 1080p output image, or allowing the original signal to bypass without being scaled, as well as see the status of HDMI cables and displays connected to each output.

Users Page
The Users Page allows the admin to add or remove users, or set specific permissions for inputs, outputs and presets for each user.

Settings Page
The Settings Page allows you to change the settings associated with the network interface and device communication, such as:

• DHCP On/Off
• IP Address
• Gateway
• Subnet Mask
• Domain Name (mDNS name)
• RS-232 Baudrate
• Telnet Port
• IR Control On/Off
• Front Panel Buttons On/Off
• LCD Always On/Auto Timeout

Remote Control Description

OUTPUT AND INPUT SELECTION

• A Selects the zone OUTPUT you wish to change the source on (Numbers 1 – 4 correspond to the zone outputs 1 – 4)
• B Selects the source INPUT you wish to change on the selected zone (Numbers 1 – 4 correspond to the source inputs 1 – 4)

EXAMPLE
To switch source 2 to zone 4 you would press 4 in the output section (A) followed by pressing 2 in the Input section (B).
ALL button: The all button selects all the inputs or outputs in its corresponding box. Example: (The “All” button in the Output box selects all the zones so all zones will change to what source input is selected next)
PTP: This button will align all the zone outputs with the like-numbered source inputs. Example: Input 1 to output 1, input 2 to output 2, etc

EDID SET UP
The CMX44CS provides a comprehensive range of EDID settings. Below are three examples of how to deploy the desired EDID setting when using the supplied remote.

• A. Fix EDID to an Input or ALL inputs: Press the desired video resolution button (1080I / 1080P / 3D / 4K), then select the desired audio format (2.0CH / 5.1CH / 7.1CH), then select the source input you want this EDID information allocated to by pressing the INPUT 1 – 4 or the ALL button
• B. Copy EDID of Output-X to an Input or ALL: Press the COPY but-ton then select the OUTPUT you wish to copy the EDID information from, then select the source input you want to copy this EDID to by selecting the INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button.
• C. User-defined EDID to an Input or ALL inputs: Press USER1 / USER2 button then select the source you wish to assign this EDID to by select-ing INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button

Note: The button press sequence should be finished in 3 seconds, otherwise the operation is discarded.

RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands

The Blustream matrix can be controlled via serial RS-232 and TCP/IP. The RS-232 port is used for configuration and control of the product.

The default RS-232 communication settings are:

• Baud rate: 57600
• Data bit: 8
• Stop bit : 1
• Parity bit: none

The following pages list all available serial commands

Commonly used Serial Commands
Several commands are commonly used for control and testing:

• STATUS Status will give feedback on the matrix such as zones on, type of connection, etc…

• PON Power on

• POFF Power off

• OUTxxON (xx is the zone number you wish to turn on)
  Example: – OUT01ON (This would turn output one back on)

• OUTxxFRyy (xx is the zone out, yy is the input)
  Example: – OUT01FR04 (This would switch output 1 to source input 4)

Common Mistakes

• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly after the string. In the case of some Terminal software the token is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces – Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that require spacing in order to work.
  • How the string should look is as follows OUT01ON
  • How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}01{Space}ON
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
