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
wiring 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 (or better) cable for your
installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution.
Understanding the HDBaseT™ Signal Status Lights
The Blustream HDBaseT™ 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.
Understanding the RJ45 connector status lights on both TX and RX units
• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be o when there is no CAT cable / active HDBaseT™ signal on the RJ45 HDBaseT™ connection
• The orange HDBaseT™ link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and Receiver
• The orange 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 input of the Receiver
• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be o when no video signal is being transmitted between Transmitter and Receiver
• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will flash when there is video signal without HDCP being transmitted
• The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be on when there is video signal with HDCP being transmitted
• The power link light will be o when no power is connected to either the Transmitter or Receiver unit
• The power link light will be on when power is connected directly to either of the units and fed remotely to the other side of
the link
Using USB / KVM Pass-through
The USB pass-through functionality of the HEX70USB-KIT is designed for KVM (keyboard / video / mouse) applications where USB
data can be sent alongside the HDMI video and associated control built into the HDBaseT technology.
The combined data throughput of the HEX70USB-KIT is 480Mbps and may not be suitable for some applications like web-
cameras at high-resolutions. The USB connection is transparent, therefore no drivers are required to be downloaded prior to use.
The 4 x USB Type A connections will also provide a maximum of 5V 0.5A power for peripheral devices.
EDID Management
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.
To configure the global EDID for all inputs via the DIP switch,
use the settings here:
