User Manual

Thank you for purchasing this product.

For optimum performance and safety, please read these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep this manual for future reference.

Surge protection device recommended

This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment.

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 minimize interference of the un-shielded 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 Bluestream approved replacement.

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

Introduction

Our Platinum Range of HDBaseT matrix products offer the very best performance and flexibility for the custom installer. Built on our advanced modular 8x8 chassis, any combination of inputs and outputs can be specified to suit the exact AV distribution needs of the project. Blustream Platinum Matrix include both HDBaseT/HDMI inputs and outputs allowing extension of HDMI signal of up to 100m*. The built-in audio matrix with HDMI/analogue/digital embedding and de-embedding further adds audio distribution capabilities to a feature rich HDMI 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 then from this information the source will determine 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. Settings for EDID Video and Audio resolutions can be found on the right.

Will work with 12v IR third party products.

Note: Cable is directional as indicated

3-IR 3.5-3.5

Infrared (IR) Control

The Blustream Platinum matrix units are supplied with IR Remote Control for source selection and general setup. As well as controlling matrix solutions using the original Blustream remote the Blustream products can be controlled using the original Infrared RC5 codes shown at the rear of this manual.
