BluStream Multicast ACM200 User Manual page 43

Blustream Infrared Commands
Blustream have created 16x input & 16x output IR commands allowing source selection of up to 16x IPxxxUHD-TX
Transmitters on up to 16x IPxxxUHD-RX Receivers. These are different to the source switching controls sent to a
Multicast Receiver.
For systems larger than 16x source devices (IPxxxUHD-TX), please use RS-232 or TCP/IP control.
For the complete database of Multicast IR commands, please visit the Blustream website page for any Multicast
devices, click on the "Drivers & Protocols" button, and navigate to the folder named "Multicast IR Control".
RS-232 and Telnet Commands
The Blustream Multicast system can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. Please refer to the RS-232 connections page
towards the start of this manual for settings and pin out. The following pages list all available serial commands for
the Multicast solution when using the ACM200.
Common Mistakes
• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent direct-
ly after the string. In the case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depend-
ing on the program you are using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy
include \r or 0D (in hex).
• Spaces – the ACM200 can work with our without spaces. It simply ignores them. It can also work with 0 to 4 digits.
eg: 1 is the same as 01, 001, 0001
- How the string should look is as follows OUT001FR002
- How the string may look if spaces are required by the control system: OUT{Space}001{Space}FR002
• Baud Rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
Blustream ACM200 commands and feedback
The following pages list the common API commands that will be required for third party control systems
Please note: the maximum number of Transmitters (yyy) and Receivers (xxx) = 762 devices (001-762)
- Receivers (outputs) = xxx
- Transmitters (inputs) = yyy
- Scaler Output = rr
- EDID Input settings = zz
- Baud Rate = br
- GPIO input/output ports = gg

ment published on the Blustream website.
