Frequently Asked Questions - HDCP11AB Blustream

What is the Blustream HDCP11AB used for?

The HDCP11AB resolves HDCP 2.2 incompatibility issues by converting HDCP 2.2 to a lower HDCP format, allowing integration of HDCP 2.2 sources with non-HDCP 2.2 displays, AV receivers, or soundbars.

How do I set the EDID using the DIP switches?

Use the 4-pin DIP switch on the front panel to select an EDID preset. Refer to the table in the manual for combinations (e.g., 0000 for EDID copy, 0001 for 1080P 2.0CH). After changing, power-cycle the unit to apply.

Does the HDCP11AB support 4K video?

Yes, it supports video resolutions up to 4K, including VGA-WUXGA and 480i-4K.

What audio formats are supported?

It passes through all known HDMI audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Note that the analogue L/R output only supports 2-channel PCM.

How do I connect the HDCP11AB?

Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI Input, and an HDMI display to the HDMI Output. Optionally connect a coaxial digital or analogue stereo device to the audio outputs. Power the unit with the supplied 5V/1A adapter.

Why is my display not showing a picture?

Ensure all connections are secure and the source is HDCP compliant. Check the EDID DIP switch settings; try setting to 'Copy' (0000) or a specific resolution. Also verify the power LED is lit and the HDMI Link LED is on when connected to a display.

Can I use this without a display?

The unit requires an HDMI display connected for proper operation. If no display is connected, the HDMI Link LED will not light and audio de-embedding may not work.

How do I clean the HDCP11AB?

Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or benzene as they may damage the surface.

What is the power requirement?

The unit requires a 5V/1A DC power supply. Use only the supplied adapter to avoid damage.

Does the product include a mounting kit?

Yes, the package includes a mounting kit for secure installation.

Introduction

Our HDCP11AB is designed to resolve HDCP 2.2 incompatibility issues.

The HDCP11AB converts the HDCP 2.2 input to a lower HDCP format allowing integration of HDCP 2.2 source products to non-HDCP 2.2 compatible products (displays, AV receivers, soundbars etc). The HDCP11AB also features in-built EDID management and has HDMI de-embedding to extract audio from the HDMI input onto both analogue and Coaxial digital outputs concurrently.

This solution prevents the need to upgrade all of your HDMI video components when a HDCP 2.2 device is added to the system.

FEATURES:

• Conversion of HDCP 2.2 to all lower HDCP formats.

• HDMI audio de-embedded to both analogue L/R audio and Coaxial digital outputs concurrently.
  • Supports all industry standard video resolutions including VGA-WUXGA and 480i-4K.

• Support pass-through of all known HDMI audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master audio transmission.
  • Advanced EDID management.

• Small compact size.

Front Panel

1 HDMI Input - Connect to the HDMI source device.
2 DC 5V - Connect to supplied 5V/1A power supply.

3 EDID DIP Switches - EDID management (see page 4).
4 Power LED indicator - Lit when unit is powered.

Rear Panel

1 HDMI LED indicator - Lit when detecting a HDMI connection to a display/end point.
2 Digital Coaxial Out—Extracted audio from the HDMI input.

3 L/R Out Analogue Audio Out - Extracted audio from HDMI input (Compatible with 2ch PCM only).
4 HDMI Output - Connect to the HDMI display.

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 resolution is to output.

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 potentially work around compatibility issues associated with some display and source combinations.

To change the EDID settings move the EDID dip-switches as required on the front panel of the unit. Please see adjacent table for settings.

Note: You must power-cycle the HDCP11AB after changes have been made in order for the EDID settings to update.
