EDID Management
MV41 USER MANUAL
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 the Switcher EDID settings can be acheived in one of three
ways:
1 Using the Switchers web browser interface (see section on Web-GUI Control) 2
Using API commands via RS-232 or Telnet (see below) 3 Using the Switchers EDID
DIP switches (see below)
To configure the EDID via RS-232 / API: Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following commands to specify the required EDID. Please see the section on RS-232 and Telnet API at the end of this manual for full 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. Please note: this will override and disallow
any EDID settings configured via the web-GUI.

MV41 USER MANUAL
Output Configuration Page
The Output configuration page allows you to name and select the scaled output
resolution of each of the 5 x HDMI output ports on the MV41. Clicking the
Update’ button to the right of each output allows for the name of the connection to be entered. Inside theUpdate’ pop-up window, the Admin has the
ability to amend the following information for the main HDMI output:
· Output (ON or OFF) – turns output on of off as required · Seamless Switching
(ON or OFF) – when seamless switching is disabled (default),
switching between Single mode and Multi-view mode with dynamic metadata such
as HDR and Dolby Vision will result in a quick picture drop, this is due to
the MV41 changing between an SDR and dynamic scaling process · Advanced
Picture Settings including: Brightness, Saturation, Hue, Contrast, HDRCB and
HDRCR – adjusting these setting values will affect the image in both Single
mode and Multi-view mode, but not on the HDMI Loop out ports
The Update buttons for the HDMI Loop out ports are only for naming the
connection, and turning the output ON/OFF as required. Colour / image settings
cannot be adjusted for the Loop out ports.
The Output Scaler settings drop-down box contains all of the scaled outputs as
outlined in page 07 of this manual for the Main output. The HDMI Loop out
ports have the ability to be set to:
· Bypass – retains the incoming video resolution and passes this straight
through to the output
· Force 1080p – outputs the signal at a 1080p resolution, with the same
refresh rate as the source / input
· Auto – if the sink / display connected ot the output is 1080p, this will
revert to 1080p as the MV41 will read the EDID response from the display. If
the output is a mixed output (may change depending on use), the MV41 can
adjust the output resolution to suit the display connected

MV41 USER MANUAL
Layout Configuration Page The Layout configuration page allows for the Admin
to pre-define which input sources are displayed in each window of the
differing multi-view layouts, and save these as customised layouts. The
switching of inputs to each window is the same as in the main Control page of
the web-GUI, with the 16 x default multi-view layouts all displayed at the
bottom of the screen.
This page also allows for a customised layout to be created where numer of
windows, sizes, positions, and layers can be configured. This customisable
multi-view layout option appears along the bottom list of views, before the
Single layout at the start of the list, labelled `Custom’.
Any customisation of a layout on this page can be saved as a layout, or as a
preset where inputs will always appear within the saved window when recalled.

MV41 USER MANUAL
Layout Configuration Page continued… Clicking on the `Custom’ layout at the
bottom of the page, opens up the advanced features for the Admin to fully
customise the layout of the output.
The right hand side of the screen allows for each window to be individually
configured:
· Window – select between up to 4 windows by clicking the relevant buttons.
Windows can be disabled by toggling the Active ON/OFF switch to add / remove
them from the customised layout screen. All settings underneath are
specifically for the Window currently selected (coloured blue)
· Layout Priority – moves the selected Window layer up and down based on other
Windows positions. Moving a window to the top layer will move all other
windows back a layer automatically
· Aspect – amend the aspect ratio of the window inside the screen. Options
are:
· Maintain – maintains the incoming aspect ratio of the media from the source
device
· Custom – allows the aspect ratio to be manipulated as required – the image
will stretch / compress as per the size of the window adjusting the look of
all elements inside the window
· 16:10 / 16:9 / 4:3 – fixes the aspect to one of the 3 most common aspect
ratios used in most media devices
· Position – move the position (top left hand corner) of the window to a
specific co-ordinate on the output screen. Windows can be moved by clicking
and moving the mouse inside the graphical representation of the window to a
different position, or by specifying an exact pixel co-ordinate for the window
to be positioned
· Size – change the size of the window by entering the number of pixels high,
by pixels wide
Please note: changing the output resolution of the main HDMI output affects:
the aspect ratios and position / size of the windows in this page, as well as
the size of the canvas in the web-GUI. We would recommend configuring the
output scaler settings before setting up customised layouts.
Once a specific layout has been configured use the Save Layout’,Save Layout
As’, or `Save to Preset’ to save the config to a pre-defined layout that can
be recalled as required.

layouts, inputs in each window, or from a 3rd party control platform. There
are no presets defined by default, but can be added from this page. Click the
`New Preset’ button in the top right of the page to configure a new preset.
Creating a new preset requires an ID to be assigned (default first ID will be
number 1, and will increase sequentially as more are added). The preset can be
named accordingly at this time. Once the preset has been created, you can
choose from any of the 16 x pre-defined layouts at the bottom of the screen,
the preset will default to a single screen output:
Drag and drop the inputs you wish to appear onto each Window when the preset
is recalled. The naming convention of the inputs will be displayed for simpler
configuration at this stage. Select which audio is to be embedded onto the
outgoing HDMI signal, or the audio breakout connections usig the drop down
Audio Selection box.
Click `Save Preset’
Once the Preset has been saved, this will appear at the bottom of the Control

packages that can be uploaded from this field: Main Control Unit (MCU) and Web-GUI. We would recommend
updating the MCU first (if required), followed by the GUI. Use the `Choose File’ button to select the firmware file
(needs to be downloaded to your laptop in advance – available to download from the Blustream website). We
would always recommend carrying out firmware updates locally with a hard-wired network connection.

MV41 USER MANUAL
Commonly used Serial Commands
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:
STATUS
Status will give feedback on the switcher such as outputs on, type of connection etc…
PON
Power on
POFF
Power off
OUTON/OFF
Toggling the main output ON or OFF as required
Example:- OUTON (This would turn the main output on)
OUT FRyy
(yy is the input)
Example:- OUTFR04 (This would switch the main output 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
· 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 OUTON
– How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}ON
· Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
