independently switchable to HDMI output 1

& HDBaseT output 2.

HDMI output 1 has access to HDBaseT input + HDMI

inputs 1-4 ONLY (HDMI signal pass-through including

4K 30 Hz resolution).

HDBaseT output 2 is a scaled and formatted output

(user configured) that has access to all HDMI,

HDBaseT and Analogue video inputs with associated

audio.

• Built-in video scaling, both up-scaling (maximum of 1080p)

and down-scaling capabilities (including 4K 30Hz to lower

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 disitrbution 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 with 4K signal distribution.

Understanding the RX/MFP112 HDBaseT status lights

The Blustream HDMI extender solution includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to show all

connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.

Understanding the status lights:-

Blustream MFP112 Switcher:

• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/Blustream Receiver connected to the RJ45 output (applies to

both the HDBaseT output and HDBaseT inputs ports)

• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Blustream switcher and HDBaseT Receiver/

Transmitter

• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 input/output and an active connection

is achieved with a Blustream HDBaseT Transmitter/Receiver.

Blustream Receiver (RX):

• The HDMI link light will be o when there is no connection with a display

• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display (NOTE - Not all HDBaseT RX feature a HDMI

status LED)

• 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 Blustream switcher and HDBaseT receiver

• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the switcher and an active

connection is achieved with the Blustream HDBaseT Receiver.

*NOTE - The same rules apply when using a Blustream HDBaseT transmitter with the MFP112 HDBaseT input port

Adjusting the video output resolution

The MFP112 has an in-built video scaler allowing you to alter the resolution of the video output.

When in ‘Splitter mode’ both the HDMI outputs (output 1) and HDBaseT (output 2) can be processed via the video scaler, allowing you to

alter the resolution of both outputs. (*Note - This is subject to turning on/o the scaler using the ‘Bypass’ command - see page 17 for further

details).

When in ‘Matrix Switcher’ mode only the HDBaseT output (output 2) can be processed via the video scaler. The HDMI output (output 1) is

a straight pass-through video signal with no video scaling . HDMI output 1 has access to the HDBaseT input and 4x HDMI inputs only when

in this mode. (*Note - HDBaseT output 2 can bypass the video scaler when selecting the HDBaseT or HDMI 1-4 inputs using the ‘Bypass’

command - see page 17 for further details).

Changing the output video resolution

The MFP112 video output resolution can altered in 3 ways:

1Front panel control - Press the ‘FORMAT’ button to scroll through output resolutions

2 MFP112 remote control

3Using Blustream RS-232/Telnet commands - Please see page 17 for detailed commands

The MFP112 remote control has fixed output video resolutions. To change the resolution

simply select the required video format required.

EDID Control

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and asource. 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 adigital 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.

1Using EDID dip-switches on the rear panel of the unit. Please see table below for settings.

Note: You must power-cycle the switcher aer changes have been made in order for the EDID

settings to update.

2Using Matrix Front Panel Buttons

a. Press MENU button

b. Panel will display ‘EDID settings’. Press SELECT button

c. Select the input you wish to fix the EDID on or select ‘All’. Use UP/DOWN buttons to toggle selection and SELECT button to confirm

d. Select video resolution required (4K, 1080p, 3D etc). Use UP/DOWN buttons to toggle selection and SELECT button to confirm

e. Select audio format required (2.0, 5.1, 7.1). Use UP/DOWN buttons to toggle selection and SELECT button to confirm

RS232 and Telnet Commands

The Blustream MFP112 can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The following pages list all available serial commands for the

MFP112. Details of RS232 pin assignment can be found on page 06.

Commonly used Serial commands:

There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:-

STATUS Status will give feedback on Matrix such as zones on, type of connection etc

PON Power on

POFF Power o

OUTxxON (xx is the zone number you wish to turn on)

Example:- OUT01ON (This would turn output one back on)

OUTxxFRyy (xx is the zone out, yy is the input)

Example:- OUT01FR04 (This would switch output 1 to source input 4)

Common Mistakes

• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly aer the

string. In the case of some Terminal soware the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you

are using this token maybe dierent. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)

• Spaces – Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that

require spacing in order to work.

- How the string should look is as follows OUT01ON

- How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}01{Space}ON

• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct - please see Page 5 for Matrix settings
