Surge protection device
recommended
This product contains sensitive electri-
cal 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.
Best Cabling Practices
The transmission distances of HDMI
over UTP cables are measured using TE
CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6
EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for
LAN cables is recommended for better
performance.
To reduce the interference among the
unshielded twisted pairs of wires in
LAN cable, do not run HDBaseT / Zone
Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close par-
allel proximity to mains power cables.
Do not substitute or use any other
Power Supply other than the enclosed
unit, or a Blusteam approved Replace-
ment Part..
Do not disassemble either the Trans-
mitter or Receiver for any reason.
Doing so will void the manufacturer’s
warranty.

Remote Control Description
OUTPUT AND INPUT SELECTION
A Selects the zone OUTPUT you wish to
change the source on (Numbers 1 - 4
correspond to the zone outputs 1 - 4)
B Selects the source INPUT you wish
to change on the selected zone (Num-
bers 1 - 4 correspond to the source
inputs 1 - 4)
EXAMPLE
To switch source 2 to zone 4 you would
press 4 in the output section (A) followed
by pressing 2 in the Input section (B).
ALL button: The all button selects all the
inputs or outputs in its corresponding box.
Example: (The “All” button in the Output
box selects all the zones so all zones will
change to what source input is selected
next)
PTP: This button will align all the zone
outputs with the like numbered source
inputs. Example: Input 1 to output 1, input
2 to output 2, etc
EDID SET UP
The MX44AB provides a comprehensive
range of EDID settings. Below are three
examples of how to deploy the desired
EDID setting when using the supplied
remote.
A. Fix EDID to an INPUT or ALL in-
puts: Press the desired video resolu-
tion button (1080I / 1080P / 3D / 4K),
then select the desired audio format
(2.0CH / 5.1CH / 7.1CH), then select
the source input you want this EDID
information allocated to by pressing
the INPUT 1 – 4 or the ALL button
B. Copy EDID of OUTPUT-X to an
INPUT or ALL: Press the COPY but-
ton then select the OUTPUT you wish
to copy the EDID information from,
then select the source input you want
to copy this EDID to by selecting the
INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button.
C. User defined EDID to an INPUT or
ALL inputs: Press USER1 / USER2
button then select the source you
wish to assign this EDID to by select-
ing INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button
NOTE: The button press sequence should
be finished in 5 seconds, otherwise the
operation is discarded.

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 then from this information the
source will determine what the best resolution is to output.
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 we can remove the need
for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and
more reliable
