Introduction
Impotant Note:
The Blustream Multicast system distributes HDMI video over Layer 3 Managed network hardware. It is advised that
Blustream Multicast devices are connected on an independent network switch to prevent unnecessary interference,
or reduction in signal performance due to other network devices bandwidth requirements.
Please read and understand the instructions in this manual and ensure that the network switch is configured
correctly prior to connecting any Blustream Multicast devices. Failure to do so could result in problems with
configuration of the system and video performance.

• Intuitive 'Drag & Drop' source selection with video preview feature for active monitoring of system status
• Advanced signal management for independent routing of Video, Audio, IR, RS-232, USB/KVM & CEC.
• Auto system configuration
• 2x RJ45 LAN connections to bridge existing network to Multicast video distribution network, resulting in:
- Better system performance as network traic is separated
- No advanced network setup required
- Independent IP address per LAN connection
- Allows simplified TCP / IP control of Multicast system
• RS-232 integration for control of Multicast system
• IR integration for control of Multicast system
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) to power ACM200 from PoE switch
• Local 12V power supply (optional) should switch not support PoE
• Support for iOS and Android App control (not available at initial release)
• 3rd party drivers available for major home control brands
The Blustream UHD Multicast distribution platform allows distribution of HDMI video over a 1Gb Network switch.
The ACM200 Control Module allows advanced third party control of the Multicast system using TCP / IP, RS-232 and
IR.
The ACM200 includes a web interface module for control and configuration of the Multicast system and features
'Drag & Drop' source selection with media preview and independent routing of Video, Audio, IR, RS-232, and USB /

ACM200 USER MANUAL
09contact [e-mail] / [e-mail]
On first log in of the ACM200, a Set-up Wizard for configuring all components of the Multicast system will be
presented. This has been designed to speed up new system configuration as all default / new Multicast Transmitters
& Receivers can be connected to the network switch at the same time, whilst not resulting in an IP conflict during
the system configuration. This results in a system in which all components are automatically and sequentially
assigned a name and IP address ready for basic system use.
Web-GUI - New Project Set-up Wizard
The ACM200 Set-up Wizard can be cancelled by clicking 'Close'. Please be aware that the system will not be
configured at this point, but can be continued by visiting the 'Project' menu (see page 18). If a project file is already
available (i.e. replacing an ACM200 on an existing site), this can be imported by using the .json file by clicking
'Import Project'.
Click 'Next' to continue set-up:
If at this point the Network Switch is not configured for use with the Blustream Multicast system, click on the
hyperlink 'network switch setup guides' to navigate to a centralised webpage containing common Network Switch
Guides.
An example schematic diagram for the connections of the ACM200 can be accessed by clicking the hyperlink
marked 'diagram'. This will ensure the ACM200 is connected correctly to the wider Multicast system before the
Set-up Wizard begins. Once the connections of the ACM200 are confirmed click 'Next'. The connections diagram is

Web-GUI - New Project Set-up Wizard - continued...
There are two methods for adding new Multicast Transmitter and Receiver devices to a system, please choose one
before clicking 'Start Scan':
Method 1: connect ALL Blustream Multicast Transmitter's and Receiver's to the network switch with their factory
default IP addresses (169.254.100.254). This method will quickly configure all devices with their own individual IP
addresses based on the following:
Transmitters:
The first Transmitter will be given the IP address of 169.254.3.1.
The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.3.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is filled (254 units), the ACM200 will auto assign an IP address of
169.254.4.1 and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is filled the ACM200 will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.5.1 and so on until
169.254.4.254
Receivers:
The first Receiver will be given the IP address of 169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP address of
169.254.6.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is filled (254 units) the ACM200 will auto assign an IP address of
169.254.7.1 and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is filled the ACM200 will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.8.1 and so on until
169.254.8.254
Once complete, devices will need to be identified manually - this method will auto-assign IP addresses and ID's to
each device connected to the network switch randomly (not by switch port).
Method 2: connect each Blustream Multicast Transmitter and Receiver to the network one-by-one. The Set-up
Wizard will configure the units sequentially as they are connected / found. This method allows for the control of
the sequential assigning of IP addresses and ID's of each device - the Transmitter / Receiver units can therefore be
labelled accordingly.

ACM200 USER MANUAL
11contact [e-mail] / [e-mail]
Once the set-up method to configure the system has been chosen, hit the 'Start Scan' button.
The ACM200 will search for new Blustream Multicast devices on the network and will continue to search for new
devices until such time as:

Web-GUI - Drag & Drop Control
The ACM200 Drag & Drop Control page is used to quickly and intuitively change a source input (Transmitter) for
each display (Receiver). This page has been designed to allow the User to quickly switch the I/O configuration of the
system.
Once the system has been fully configured the Drag & Drop Control page will show all online Multicast Transmitters
and Receivers. All Multicast devices will display the active stream which refreshes every few seconds.
Due to the size of the display window on certain phones, tablets or laptops, should the number of Transmitters and
Receivers be larger than the size available on screen, the User is given the ability to scroll or swipe through available
devices (le to right).
To switch sources, click on the required source and ‘Drag & Drop’ the Transmitter preview onto the required
Receiver product. The Receiver preview window will update with the new live stream of the source selected.
The Drag & Drop switch will amend the Video/Audio stream from Transmitter to Receiver, but not alter any fixed
routing of control signals that have been configured in the ACM200 (see page 25).
Should ‘No Signal’ be displayed in the Transmitter preview window, please check the HDMI source device is
powered on, outputting a signal and is connected via HDMI cable to the Multicast Transmitter unit. Check also
the EDID settings of the Transmitter device (Multicast will not accept 4K60 4:4:4 signals). Should ‘No Signal’ be
displayed inside the Receiver preview window, check the unit is connected and powered from the network (switch)
and has a valid connection to a working Transmitter unit.
There is an 'All Receivers' window located on the le of the Receivers window. Dragging and dropping a Transmitter
onto this window will change the routing for ALL Receivers within the system to watch the source selected. Should
the preview of this window show the Blustream logo, this signifies that there is a mixture of sources being watched
across the range of Receivers within the system. The note underneath 'All Receivers' will display: 'TX: Dierent'.
Please note: the Drag & Drop Control page is also the home page for Guest Users of the Multicast system - only
sources that the Guest or User have permission to view will be visible. For User set-up and permissions, see page 34.
Receivers in Video Wall Mode are not displayed on the Drag & Drop page.

1. Toggle OSD: turn On / O the OSD (On Screen Display). Toggling the OSD On shows the ID number (i.e. ID
001) of the Multicast Receiver on each display as an overlay to the media being distributed. Toggling OSD O
removes the OSD. See page 24 for more information on the use of OSD.
2. Export Project: create a save file (.json) for the configuration of the system.
3. Import Project: import an already configured project into the current system. This is particularly helpful when
setting up a secondary system or expansion to a current system o-site where the two systems can be merged
into one.
4. Clear Project: resets the ACM200 removing all Transmitters, Receivers and Video Wall Configurations from the
project, reverting the ACM back to the initial wizard configuration. Please note: when 'Clear Project' is applied
only the ACM200 network settings will remain.
5. Continuously Scan & Auto Assign: continuously scan the network and auto assign new Multicast devices to
the next available ID and IP address as connected. If only connecting one new Multicast device, use the 'Scan
Once' option. The ACM200 will continue to scan the network for new Multicast devices until found, or select this
button again to stop the scan.
6. Scan Once: scan the network once for any new Multicast device connected. Once discovered you will be
presented with the option to: 1. manually assign a new device, or: 2. auto assign a new unit to the next available
ID and IP address as connected.

resolutions for the source device to output. Basic help can be obtained on EDID selection by clicking the button
at the top of the page marked 'EDID Help'. For further help on EDID settings, see page 21. EDID selections as
follows:
- Default EDID - the default EDID is for the Transmitter to request a 1080p / 2ch signal from the source device
- 1080i @ 60Hz 2ch - 4K2K 4:2:0 2ch
- 1080i @ 60Hz 5.1ch - 4K2K 4:2:0 5.1ch
- 1080i @ 60Hz 7.1ch - 4K2K 4:2:0 7.1ch
- 1080p @ 60Hz 2ch - 4K2K 4:4:4 2ch
- 1080p @ 60Hz 5.1ch - 4K2K 4:4:4 5.1ch

The 'Actions' button allows for
advanced features of the units to be
accessed and configured.
Features of the Actions menu include:
1. Name - Transmitter names can be amended by entering a name into the free-form text box. Please note: this is
limited to 16 characters in length, and some special characters may not be supported.
2. Update ID - the ID of a unit is set as default to the same number as the last 3 digits of the units IP address i.e.

unit is not normally recommended.
3. CEC Pass-through (On / O) - allows for CEC (Consumer Electronic Command) to be sent through the Multicast
system to and from the source device connected to the Transmitter. Please note: CEC must be enabled on the
Receiver unit also for the CEC commands to be sent between. Default setting for this feature is O. If more than
one Blustream Receiver is viewing a Transmitter, the CEC is passed between all devices. Because of this it is
advised to leave CEC disabled on all products unless required.
4. Front Panel Display (On / O) - use this to enable / disable the dual 7-segment LED displays on the front of the
Transmitter. The front panel display of the Multicast unit will automatically time-out aer 90 seconds and turn
