Terminating the Interconnecting HDBaseT™ CAT Cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the 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 possible. HDMI distribution
products will only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 (or better)
cable for your installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal
distribution.
Understanding the HDBaseT™ Signal Status Lights
The Blustream HDBaseT™ extender solutions include status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to
show all connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.
Understanding the status lights:
Receiver:
•
The HDMI signal link light will be off when there is no connection with a display / sink
•
The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display
•
The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be off when there is no CAT cable / active HDBaseT™ connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT™ output
•
The orange HDBaseT™ link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter / Matrix and Receiver
•
The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 output on the Transmitter
and an active connection is achieved with the Receiver / Matrix
•
The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be off when no video signal is received
•
The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will flash when there is video signal without HDCP being received
•
The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be on when there is video signal with HDCP being received
•
The power link light will be off when no power is connected to the Receiver, or to the connected Transmitter unit
•
The power link light will be on when power is connected directly to the Receiver or is being received from the Transmitter unit
Transmitter:
•
The HDMI signal link light will be off when there is no connection with a source device
•
The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device
•
The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be off when there is no CAT cable / active HDBaseT™ connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT™ output
•
The orange HDBaseT™ link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter / Matrix and Receiver
•
The orange HDBaseT™ link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT™ RJ45 output on the Transmitter
and an active connection is achieved with the Receiver / Matrix
•
The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be off when no video signal is transmitted
•
The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will flash when there is video signal without HDCP being transmitted
•
The green HDBaseT™ HDCP light will be on when there is video signal with HDCP being transmitted
•
The power link light will be off when no power is connected to the Transmitter, or to the connected Receiver unit
•
The power link light will be on when power is connected directly to the Transmitter or is being received from the Receiver unit
