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 acheived in one of four ways:
- Using Matrix web browser interface (see section on Web GUI Control)
- Using Matrix Front Panel (see below)
- Using API commands via RS-232 or Telnet (see below)
- Using Matrix EDID dipswitches (see below)
To configure the EDID via Matrix Front Panel:
- Press the MENU button
- Scroll down to ‘EDID Management’. Press the SELECT button to enter into EDID configuration mode

HDBaseT™ Receiver Compatibility
This matrix is compatible with all Blusream HDBaseT™ receivers however support
of specific features will vary.
It is recommended to utilize Blustream RX70CS HDBaseT™ receivers with this
Matrix as this fully supports the following key features:
- CSC – Colour Space Conversion, the method utilized to support 18Gbps signals being transmitted over HDBaseT
- ARC – Audio Return Channel, to output the displays Audio Return Channel from the optical outputs of the Matrix
- PoC – Power Over Cable, to power the HDBaseT™ receiver from the Matrix over CAT cable without any additional power supplies required
Power Over Cable
Please note PoC (Power over Cable) has been disabled on this product by
default to reduce the risk of damaging incompatible HDBaseT™ receiver
products. Please check your HDBaseT™ receiver supports 24V PoC before enabling
PoC on this Matrix. The Blustream RX70CS HDBaseT™ receiver is recommended for
use with this Matrix as it supports all features of this Matrix.
There are 3 ways to enable/disable PoC on this matrix:
- Using Matrix web browser interface (see section on Web GUI operation)
- Using Matrix Front Panel Meny System (see secion above)
- Using API commands via Telnet / RS-232 (see Telnet API section at the end of this manual)
Terminating CAT Cable for use with HDBaseT™
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between Blustream HDBaseT™
products is terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link CAT
cable MUST be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable, and it is advised that this
is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less prone to EMI
(Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT
cable quality. HDMI distribution products will only work if used with CAT5e
standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable (or better)
for installations, especially when running longer distances, in areas of high
EMI, or for 4K signal distribution. It is advised that using any method of
patch panel, wall plate, or join within the CAT cable is avoided as these can
add degradation to the signal. Blustream also recommend using RJ45 connectors
that are recommended for use with the choice of CAT cable.
Understanding the HDBaseT™ Status LED’s
The matrix includes status LED indicators on the HDBaseT™ RJ45 ports to show all connections are active, and to help diagnose potential connectivity issues.
Understanding the Status Lights – C66 / C88:
- The yellow HDBaseT™ status link light will be OFF when there is no HDBaseT™ link established with a Blustream HDBaseT™ receiver
- The yellow HDBaseT™ status link light will be ON when there is a HDBaseT™ link established with a Blusream HDBaseT™ receiver
- The green HDBaseT™ link light will be OFF when there is no video signal being transmitted between the matrix and Blustream HDBaseT™ receiver
- The green HDBaseT™ link light will be ON when a there is a HDCP enabled video signal being transmitted between the matrix and Blustream HDBaseT™ receiver
- The green HDBaseT™ link light will BLINK when there is a video signal with no HDCP being transmitted between the matrix and HDBaseT™ receiver
The link lights will only serve as an indication to the connectivity between
matrix and HDBaseT™ receiver unit.
The LED’s will not indicate a termination, bandwidth, interference or cable
length issues on a CAT cable run. Blustream always recommend qualifying /
verifying / certifying a CAT cable run for suitability prior to the
installation of HDBaseT™ equipment.
Infrared (IR) Control
The Blustream range of matrix products include Matrix control via IR.

RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands
The Blustream matrix can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP.
The RS-232 port is used for configuration and control of the product, as well
as pass through of RS-232 commands to a compatible Blustream HDBaseT™
receiver.
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
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:
-
STATUS : Status will give feedback on 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
