Transmitter Mounting into the HEX70HDUK-TT
The HEX70HDUK transmitter can be mounted in the optional HEX70HDUK-TT table top mounting solution.
The HEX70HDUK transmitter is fixed into positon with the video connectors pointing upwards (to the lid of the TT),
There are two internal brackets that are attached to the Transmitter before sliding into the chassis of the TT. As per the
below diagram:

EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source to
negotiate the best audio and video resolutions that are supported in the system. A global EDID of the HEX70HDUK-KIT
can be configured using a combination of DIP switch settings (see below), or using TCP/IP or RS-232 commands.

USB Hosts and USB-C Functionality
The HEX70HDUK-TX features a USB3.0 hub for pass-through and switching alongside the peripheral devices and/
or video connected at the transmitter. USB Host 1 is paired to the swithcing of HDMI input1, USB Host 2 is paired
with the DIsplayPort input, whilst the USB-C connection allows for both video and data switching to be handled
simultaneously. The unit also allows for USB2.0 pass-through (up to a combined maximum data rate of 250Mbps) from
devices connected to the HEX70HDUK-RX over HDBaseT™.
The USB-C input supports a full 18Gbps 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video signal. It also supports up to 60W charging, however, when
charging is activated, video bandwidth is automatically limited to 10Gbps and maximum resolution up to 4K 60Hz 4:2:0
video signals. Please note: the TX needs ot be powered directly from the PSU for USB-C charging.
Front Panel LED’s and Auto Switching
The HEX70HDUK-KIT includes LED indicator lights to identify what input is selected. On the Transmitter if an input LED
is solid then it is the selected source and in manual switching mode, if it is flashing then the unit is in auto switching
mode. On the Receiver, there is an input LED for showing whether remote HDBT or local HDMI source is selected, as
well as a dedicated LED indicator that will be solid if auto switching mode is enabled hence the RX LED’s will not flash.
Auto-switching is enabled by default on both Transmitter and Receiver. When enabled, if a source is disconnected, the
HEX70HDUK-KIT will go back to the previously active input, and if the previously active input isn’t available it will find
the next active input starting from input 1 to input 4.

Automatic System On/O Control
The HEX70HDUK is designed to help automate basic control of AV equipment within a room without the need for a
3rd party control system. It can control devices via RS-232 and from the relay outputs. The key function is to turn the
system on when a new video signal is sensed, and turn it o when that signal is lost.
Configuration of this functionality can be completed via RS-232. See the RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands
section at the rear of this manual for additional information and command API.
System On:
When the HEX70HDUK detects video signal (via TMDS or 5V), the system will start and automatically perform the
following actions at the same time:
• Send RS-232 On Command, then delay (between 1~180s, default 3s), then send user defined RS-232 command
once configured via RS-232
• Toggle the state of relay 1 for a predetermined time (enabled by default, between 3~180s, default 10s, 0 is always
open while the unit is on)
Please note: when setting video signal trigger to TMDS or 5V, please ensure the System On and System O settings
match, or the feature may not operate correctly.
System O:
When the controller detects the video signal is lost, and does not receive a signal sense trigger within the delay time
(between 5~180mins, default 10mins), the system will turn o and automatically perform the following actions:
• Send RS-232 O Command, then delay (between 1~180s, default 3s), then repeat the command once configured
via RS-232
• Toggle the state of relay 2 for a predetermined time (enabled by default, between 3~180s, default 10s, 0s will turn
o when the unit turns stops sensing)
Relay Control
The HEX70HDUK-RX features relay control to trigger external devices when a HDMI signal is sensed or lost.
By default when the unit is turned on or o, both relay 1 and 2 will open for 10 seconds and then close aerwards.
• For Relay 1, the delay time can be set to 0 seconds which will keep the relay open when the unit is turned on, and
close the relay when the unit is turned o
• Relay 2 does not have this feature
For relay API commands, please see the RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands section at the rear of this manual.

Terminating CAT Cable for use with HDBaseT™
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between 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. HDMI distribution products
will only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable (or better) for
installations, especially when running longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution. It is advised
that using any method of patch panel, wall plate, or join within the CAT cable is avoided as these can add degradation
to the signal. Blustream also recommend using RJ45 connectors that are recommended for use with the choice of CAT
cable.
RJ45 Wiring -
T568B
Understanding the HDBaseT™ Status LED’s
The extender includes status LED indicators on the HDBaseT™ RJ45 ports to show all connections are active, and to
help diagnose potential connectivity issues.
Understanding the Status Lights - HEX70HDU-KIT:
• The yellow HDBaseT™ status link light will be OFF when there is no HDBaseT™ link established with the Blustream
HDBaseT™ receiver
• The yellow HDBaseT™ status link light will be ON when there is a HDBaseT™ link established with the Blusream
HDBaseT™ receiver
• The green HDBaseT™ link light will be OFF when there is no video signal being transmitted between the HDBaseT™
Transmitter and HDBaseT™ receiver
• The green HDBaseT™ link light will be ON when a there is a HDCP enabled video signal being transmitted between
the HDBaseT™ Transmitter and HDBaseT™ receiver
• The green HDBaseT™ link light will BLINK when there is a video signal with no HDCP being transmitted between the
HDBaseT™ Transmitter and HDBaseT™ receiver
The link lights will only serve as an indication to the connectivity between the HDBaseT™ transmiter and receiver units.
The LED’s will not indicate a termination, bandwidth, interference or cable length issues on a CAT cable run. Blustream
always recommend qualifying / verifying / certifying a CAT cable run for suitability prior to the installation of HDBaseT™
equipment.
