RS-232 Configuration & Control

The RS-232 ports can be used for configuration/control of the product, as well as pass-through of RS-232 commands between the serial ports of the HEX70HDUK- TX and RX. By default, the transmitter unit is allocated for control and feedback of switching, however, this can be changed to the receiver if required.

The default RS-232 communication settings are

• Baud Rate: 57600
• Data Bit: 8
• Stop Bit: 1
• Parity Bit: none

For the complete RS-232 and TCP/IP command list please see the HEX70HDUK-KIT User Manual – available to download from the Blustream website.

EDID Control

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source to negotiate the best audio and video resolutions that are supported in the system. A global EDID of the HEX70HDUK- KIT can be configured using a combination of DIP switch settings (see below) or via TCP/IP, RS-232 or web-GUI.
