Safety And Performance Notice

The transmission distances of HDMI over UTP cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6

EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) of cables is recommended for optimal performance.

To minimise interference of the unshielded twisted pairs in the CAT5e/6 cable do not run the HDBaseT / Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close parallel proximity to mains power cables.

Do not substitute or use any other power supply other than the enclosed unit, or a Blustream approved replacement.

Do not disassemble either the Transmission or Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

The HMXL44 V2 analogue outputs include pre-amp line level control allowing you to connect the Blustream matrix directly into a power amplifier for all your multi-room audio needs.

1. Coaxial digital output - Output 1

2. Analogue pre-amp line level output 3.5mm stereo jack - Output 2

Control of the pre-amp line level outputs is via the matrix front panel, RS-232, TCP/IP or using the in-built web browser interface. Please see ‘RS-232 & Telnet Commands’ on page 15 for further details.

Note: Volume control is only available on the analogue audio outputs. Source input must be PCM 2ch audio for analogue audio out-

puts to work. The HMXL44 V2 Matrix does not down-mix multi-channel audio signals.

Note: Volume control of audio outputs is not possible via InfraRed control.

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 cable for your installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.

Understanding the RX/HMXL44 V2 HDBaseT status lights

The Blustream HMXL44 V2 Matrix and HDBaseT extender solutions include status LED indicators on both the Matrix and Receiver products to show all connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.

Understanding the status lights:-

Blustream HMXL44 V2 Matrix:

• The Yellow HDBaseT status link light will be o when the zone output has been turned o or there is a problem with the specific Matrix output.

• The Yellow HDBaseT status link light will blink when the zone output is on and working

• The Green HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Blustream Matrix and HDBaseT Receiver

• The Green HDBaseT link light will be lit when a there is an active HDBaseT Receiver connected to the Matrix

• The Green HDBaseT link light will be o when a there is no connection with a HDBaseT receiver

Blustream HDBaseT Receiver:

• The HDMI link light will be o when there is no connection with a display

• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display (NOTE - Not all HDBaseT RX feature a HDMI status LED)

• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT input

• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Blustream Matrx and HDBaseT receiver

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

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 then from this information the source will discover what the best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.

While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure issues do arise when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.

By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time need for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.

Configuration of Matrix EDID settings can be acheived in one of five ways:-

1 Using Matrix PC Soware (See ‘Blustream Matrix Soware Guide’ for further details available at www.

blustream.co.uk)

2 Using Matrix web browser interface (See ‘Blustream Web Browser Interface Guide’ for further details

available at www.blustream.co.uk )

3 Using Matrix Front Panel Buttons (For further details see page 7)

4 Using Supplied Blustream Matrix IR Remote Control (For further details see page 10)

5 Using dip-switches on the rear panel of the HMXL44 V2 Matrix. Please see below table for global EDID settings.

*Note - Once dip-switch settings have been made the HMXL44 V2 should be power cycled for settings to be applied.

RS232 and Telnet Commands

The Blustream HMXL44 V2 can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The following pages list all available serial commands for the HMXL44-V2 Matrix. Details of RS232 pin assignment can be found on page 05.

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 o 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 aer the string. In the case of some Terminal soware the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are using this token maybe dierent. 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 - please see Page 5 for Matrix settings
