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 Transmitter
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 HEX70ED-V2 signal status lights
The Blustream HEX70ED-V2 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 status lights:
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/Matrix and Receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter/Matrix and an
active connection is achieved with the Receiver.
Transmitter:
• 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/Matrix
• 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/Matrix.

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 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 HEX70ED-
TX-V2. EDID dip-switch settings are shown below.
Note: You must power cycle the product aer making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power
cycle the source aer EDID changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.
