Connections: When using third party 12V IR control solutions please use Blustream IRCAB cable for IR conversion from 12V to 5V. If the control system uses a 5V IR line, then a straight-through stereo 3.5mm cable can be used. Connect the IR output of the third party control system to the IR IN of the IP250UHD-TX. -
Page 16: Rs-232 (Serial) Bi-Directional Pass-Through
RS-232 (Serial) Bi-Directional Pass-Through Multicast products feature bi-directional RS-232 pass-through for control of products using serial commands. There are multiple methods for distribution of RS-232 using the Blustream Multicast solution which include: 1) Type-1 Redirection Mode: 1-to-1 routed RS-232 A link is programmed that creates an open connection between ANY Multicast product in the system (Transmitters or Receivers). -

Page 20: Manual Product Configuration
USER MANUAL Manual Configuration of Multicast Products The Blustream Multicast system can be configured without the need of a computer, allowing basic setup options such as addressing of products (IP configuration), EDID selection (TX), and Scaler output selection (RX). Manual configuration does not require the product to be connected to a network switch in order to be set-up, it only requires the unit to be powered either by local power supply (24V 1A) or by a PoE switch/injector. - Page 21 Once the scaler value required has been selected, press both Channel 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons to finalise the manual configuration process. "Applying Configuration" will be shown on the display and then the Multicast Receiver will reboot with the new settings applied.

Page 24: Edid Control
In the Blustream Multicast system each source device only communicates with a single Blustream IP250UHD-TX Transmitter meaning there is only a single EDID handshake. As each Blustream Multicast IP250UHD-RX Receiver has its own in-built video scaler, it is advised that the source EDID is set to output the best video signal possible as this can be down-scaled (as required) at each IP250UHD-RX Receiver (max 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 or 4K 30Hz 4:4:4). -
Page 25: Scaler Output Control
USER MANUAL Scaler Output Control The Blustream Multicast Receiver has an in-built video scaler which can both up-scale and downscale video signals allowing for differing image resolutions at each display. Configuration of Multicast Scaler settings can be achieved in several ways:... -
