Understanding the Transmitter/Receiver status lights
03
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. 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 thus making
switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of extender EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches on the end of the HEX100CS-TX. EDID
dip-switch settings are shown below.

Dip-switch position ‘0’ = O
Dip-switch position ‘1’ = On
The Blustream HEX100CS-KIT extender solutions include status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver
products to show all connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.
Receiver:
• The HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display
• 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 Transmitter and Receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter
and an active connection is achieved with the Receiver.
Transmit ter:
• 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 light will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT
output
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and Receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter
and an active connection is achieved with the Receiver
