RS-232 Configuration

The RS-232 port is used for configuration and control of the product, as well as pass through of RS-232 commands to
the Blustream RX70CS receiver.

The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud Rate: 57600
Data Bit: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity Bit: none
For a complete RS-232 command list please see the User Manual - available to download from the Blustream website.

EDID Control

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used by a source device to find out what audio
and video resolutions are supported by the display. By specifying the video resolution and audio format of the source
device you can improve the EDID hand shaking thus making HDMI more reliable.

Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following RS-232 commands:

EDIDxxDFzz

Where xx = Input: 00 refers to ALL inputs; 01-04 = specific input
zz = EDID as shown below

zz = 00: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM (Default)

zz = 01: HDMI 4K@30Hz 4:4:4, Audio 2ch PCM

zz = 02: HDMI 4K@60Hz 4:2:0, Audio 2ch PCM

zz = 03: HDMI 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, Audio 2ch PCM

zz = 04: DVI 1280x1024@60Hz, Audio None

zz = 05: DVI 1920x1080@60Hz, Audio None

zz = 06: DVI 1920x1200@60Hz, Audio None

zz = 07: HDMI 1920x1200@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM

zz = 08: User EDID 1

zz = 09: User EDID 2

zz = 10: EDID Passthrough1 (Copy from HDBT)

zz = 11: EDID Passthrough2 (Copy from HDMI OUT1)

zz = 12: EDID Passthrough3 (Copy from HDMI OUT2)

Web GUI Control

The Matrix features an in-built Web GUI which can be used for control and configuration of the product.
