PLATINUM SERIES V2
USER MANUAL
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 discover what the best
audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
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 you can reduce the time need for EDID hand
shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of Matrix EDID settings can be acheived in one of three ways:-
1
Using Matrix web browser interface (See ‘Blustream Web Browser Interface Guide’ for further details available at www.
blustream.co.uk )
2
Using Matrix Front Panel Buttons (For further details see page 8)
3
Using Supplied Blustream Matrix IR Remote Control (For further details see page 12)
EDID Control
Note: EDID settings were revised June 2017 to include independant 4K 4:2:0 and 4K 4:4:4 settings to help with signal management/bandwidth
limitations when using HDMI over HDBaseT distribution. For alternate EDID settings and Firmware please visit the Blustream website.
Audio Breakout
The PLAXX V2 Matrix includes both both coaxial digital and 2CH analogue audio outputs. Audio can be selected from:-
•
Breakout from selected HDMI/HDBaseT output. Extracted audio will be concurrent with the corresponding HDMI/HDBaseT
video output.
•
Breakout from selected HDMI/HDBaseT inputs. Extracted audio will be fixed to the selected HDMI/HDBaseT source input.
•
Analogue 2CH audio inputs. Audio will be fixed to the selected analogue audio input.
•
ARC audio return when used with compatible HDBaseT Receivers (feature only available on PLA88/66ARC models). Extracted
audio will be fixed to the selected HDMI/HDBaseT zone output.
The PLAxx V2 analogue outputs include pre-amp line level control allowing you to connect the Blustream Matrix directly into a
power amplifier for all your multi-room audio needs.
Both coaxial and analogue audio outputs can be adjusted for audio delay.
Control of the pre-amp line level outputs is via RS-232, TCP/IP or using the in-built web browser interface. Please see ‘RS-232 &
Telnet Commands’ on page 17 for further details.
Note:
Volume control is only available on the analogue audio outputs. Source input must be PCM 2CH audio for analogue audio
outputs to work. The PLAxx V2 Matrix do not down-mix 5.1CH audio signals.
Volume control of audio outputs is not possible via Infrared control.
