Frequently Asked Questions - HMXL66ARC Blustream
How do I set up the Blustream HMXL66ARC matrix for the first time?
Connect your HDMI sources to the inputs and displays to the outputs. Power on the unit using the included 12V/2A adapter. Use the front panel buttons, IR remote, or web interface to route sources. Ensure all devices support HDCP and HDMI version 2.0 for 4K content.
What is the ARC function and how do I use it?
ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows audio from a connected display to be sent back to the matrix and output to an audio device (e.g., soundbar). Enable ARC on the display and ensure the HDMI cable supports ARC. Connect the display to an ARC-enabled output port (usually HDMI output 1) and configure audio routing via the matrix software.
Does the HMXL66ARC support 4K at 60Hz with HDR?
Yes, the matrix supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 (18Gbps) and HDR10/HLG/Dolby Vision. Ensure all connected devices are HDCP 2.2 compliant and use quality HDMI cables (18Gbps minimum).
How do I manage EDID settings on this matrix?
The HMXL66ARC features internal EDID management. You can select predefined EDID files (e.g., 1080p, 4K, audio formats) or auto-detect from connected displays. Access EDID settings via the web interface or RS-232 commands.
Can I control the matrix via Ethernet (TCP/IP)?
Yes, connect the matrix to your network via the RJ-45 port. Default IP is 192.168.1.239. You can control it via web browser, Telnet, or third-party control systems using the Blustream command protocol.
Why is there no picture or sound from my source?
Check cable connections and ensure source and display are powered on. Verify HDCP compatibility (disable HDCP on source if possible). Try a different input/output port. Update firmware if available. Use the EDID auto-detect or a known working EDID.
How do I reset the matrix to factory defaults?
Press and hold the 'MENU' and 'ENTER' front panel buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the power LED flashes. Alternatively, use the web interface 'Factory Reset' option. Note this clears all settings.
What are the power requirements and does it come with a power adapter?
The matrix requires a 12V DC / 2A power supply. A compatible adapter is included in the box. Using an incorrect adapter may damage the unit.
Can I use the matrix with a single display and multiple sources?
Yes, you can route any input to any output independently. The matrix works as a 6x6 switch; you can connect up to 6 sources and 6 displays simultaneously.
Where can I download the user manual or find firmware updates?
The user manual is available for free download on notice-facile.com or the official Blustream website. Firmware updates can be obtained from Blustream support. Always follow the update instructions carefully.
