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 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.

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 wir-
ing 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 for 4K signal distribution.
Understanding the HSP14AB-V2 signal status lights
The Blustream HSP14AB-V2 HDBaseT™ splitter includes status LED indicators to show all connections are active and to help
diagnose possible problems.
Understanding the status lights:
• The Input HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a source device
• The Output HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The Input HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device
• The Output HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display/sink
• The HDBaseT™ link lights will be o when there are no CAT cable/active HDBaseT™ connections on the RJ45 HDBaseT™
outputs
• The HDBaseT™ link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Splitter and Receiver/s or if the RJ45
connectors have been wired incorrectly
• The HDBaseT™ link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 output on the Splitter and an active
connection is achieved with the Receiver

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, 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 needed for
EDID hand shaking.
Configuration of EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches on the end of the HSP14AB-V2. EDID dip-switch
settings are shown below.
Note: You must power cycle the product aer making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power cycle the
source aer EDID changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.
