RS-232 Configuration
The RS-232 port is used for configuration and control of the product.
The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud Rate: 57600 Data Bit: 8
Stop Bit: 1 Parity Bit: none
For a complete RS-232 command list please see the C44CS-KIT User Manual - available to download from the
Blustream website.
EDID Control
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.
Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following RS-232 commands to
specify the required EDID:
EDIDxxDFzz
Where xx = Input: 00 refers to ALL inputs; 01-06 = specific input
zz = 00: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM (Default)
