EDID Management

HDBaseT ™ has a ceiling data rate limit that allows for a maximum HDMI data rate of 10.2Gbps to pass over the link.
With many HDMI 2.0 source devices allowing for HDMI data rates that exceed the threshold of HDBaseT™ to be
exceeded, the smart EDID functionality of the HEX70SL-KIT reduces the potential of a ‘no signal’ handshake occurring.

By default, the HEX70SL-KIT does not terminate the EDID handshake, so the source device connected to the
transmitter will think there is only a HDMI cable connected to the sink device. This may mean that a data rate signal
that exceeds the HDBaseT™ threshold is output from the source. Pressing the EDID button selects a 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 EDID
(on first press), to a 4K 30Hz 4:4:4 EDID (on second press), subsequent presses cycle between these two EDID modes.

Terminating the Interconnecting HDBaseT™ CAT Cable

It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the 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 possible. HDMI distribution
products will only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 (or better)
cable for your installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal
distribution.

RJ45 Wiring - T568B

Understanding the HDBaseT™ Signal Status Lights

The Blustream HDBaseT™ 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.

Understanding the Status Lights:
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 orange HDBaseT™ link light will be o when there is no CAT cable / active HDBaseT™ connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT™ output

• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter / Matrix and Receiver

• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 output on the Transmitter
and an active connection is achieved with the Receiver / Matrix

• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be o when no video signal is received

• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will flash when there is video signal without HDCP being received

• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be on when there is video signal with HDCP being received

• The power link light will be o when no power is connected to the receiver, or to the connected Transmitter unit

• The power link light will be on when power is connected directly to the receiver or is being received from the Transmitter unit

Transmitter:

• The HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a source device

• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device

• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be o when there is no CAT cable / active HDBaseT™ connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT™ output

• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter / Matrix and Receiver

• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 output on the Transmitter
and an active connection is achieved with the Receiver / Matrix

• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be o when no video signal is transmitted

• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will flash when there is video signal without HDCP being transmitted

• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be on when there is video signal with HDCP being transmitted

• The power link light will be o when no power is connected to the Transmitter, or to the connected Receiver unit

• The power link light will be on when power is connected directly to the Transmitter or is being received from the Receiver unit
