Introduction
performance and flexibility. The HEX150CS-KIT extender set is an industry
leading HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDCP2.2 HDBaseT™ solution utilising CSC
and Smart-Scale technology on the HDBaseT™ output. The HEX150CS-KIT
supports HDMI, bi-directional IR, RS-232 and PoH (PoE) up to lengths of
150m over a single CAT cable. The HEX150CS-KIT also provides enhanced
features including ARC via HDMI or optical (S/PDIF) and Ethernet pass
through.

transmissions
• HDMI re-clocking on the HDBaseT™ Receiver to help solve HDMI compatibility and handshaking issues
• Supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) from display via HDMI and Optical Digital (S/PDIF) input
• Supports audio return to HDMI, optical digital and analogue L/R audio outputs (analogue output supports 2ch PCM
only)
• 10/100BaseT Ethernet pass through
• Supports bi-directional RS-232 pass-through
• Supports bi-directional IR pass through with switchable 5V/12V IR hardware support
• Supplied with Blustream 5V IR receiver and emitter
• Bi-directional PoH (Power over HDBaseT™) to power extenders from either transmitter or receiverend
• Advanced EDID management
• HDCP 2.2 Support

Understanding the Transmitter/Receiver status lights
The Blustream HEX150CS-KIT extender solutions include status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver
products to show all connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.
Receiver:
• The HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display
• The HDBaseT™ RJ45 link light (orange) will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT™ connection on the
RJ45 HDBaseT™ input
• The HDBaseT™ RJ45 link light (orange) will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and
Receiver
• The HDBaseT™ RJ45 link light (green) will blink when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 input and an
active connection is achieved with the Transmitter.
Transmit ter :
• The Input HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a source device
• The Output HDMI-Loop signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The Input HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device
• The Output HDMI-Loop link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display/sink
• The HDBaseT™ RJ45 link light (orange) will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT™ connection on the
RJ45 HDBaseT™ output
• The HDBaseT™ RJ45 link light (orange) will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and
Receiver
• The HDBaseT™ RJ45 link light (green) will blink when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 output and
an active connection is achieved with the Receiver / Matrix.
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.
Configuration of extender EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches of the HEX150CS-TX. EDID dip-switch
settings are shown below:
