Understanding the HDBaseT™ Signal Status Lights
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 with the HDBaseT™ link.
Understanding the Status Lights:
Receiver:
• The HDMI status indicator light will be off when there is no connection with a display / sink
• The HDMI status indicator 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 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
• 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 status indicator light will be off when there is no connection with a source device
• The HDMI status indicator 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 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
• 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
RJ45 Wiring - T568B
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the
Blustream HDBaseT
™
products is terminated using the correct
RJ45 pin configuration. The link CAT6A cable
MUST
be a ‘straight’
(pin-to-pin) 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 cable for HDBaseT
™
it is advised that the best
possible CAT cable quality is used without
ANY
connections in the
cable between the RJ45 plugs.
HDMI distribution over the new HDBaseT
™
VS3000 chipset will
ONLY
work if used with CAT6A standard cable, or above, for extended
distances due to the 16Gbps HDBaseT
™
link required. The distance
capabilities of this technology is significantly reduced over CAT5e or
CAT6 cabling because of the increase in data being sent.
Blustream recommends using U/FTP cable for HDBaseT
™
VS3000
installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas
of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution.
