EDID Management
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. By pre-determining
the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand
shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following RS-232 commands to specify the
required EDID:
EDIDxxDFzz
Where xx = Input: 00 refers to ALL inputs; 01-08 = specific input
zz = EDID as shown below
zz = 00 : HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM (default)
01 : HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 5.1ch DTS/DOLBY

Automatic Smart Scaling Functionality in CSC
Blustream HDBaseT™ CSC (Colour Space Conversion) outputs have an in-built automatic smart scaling feature
allowing for a 4K video signal to be independently downscaled per individual HDBaseT™ output connection. The
Matrix will read the EDID of the display attached to the RX70CS HDBaseT™ receiver output, downscaling the video
resolution automatically where the display cannot accept the native resolution being sent from the source device. CSC
will auto-downscale either video resolution, chroma sampling, or colour bit depth, it is not able to amend frame rate,
or HDR elements within a signal.
The simultaneous HDMI output (output 1) will continue to pass the native signal.
Smart Scaling Conversion TableSmart Scaling Conversion Table
Native Source Signal Smart Scaled Output Capability
4K xHz 4:4:4 4K xHz 4:2:0 (or) 1080p xHz 4:4:4
4K xHz 4:2:2 4K xHz 4:2:0 (or) 1080p xHz 4:4:4
4K xHz 4:2:0 1080p xHz 4:4:4
x = frame rate, will be equal from native to converted/scaled
Please Note: smart scaling is automatic based on the EDID of the display and cannot be controlled or adjusted by the
user / integrator. To obtain resolutions lower than 1080p, a separate scaler device must be specified.
To obtain CSC pass-through the Blustream C66CS / C88CS Matrix must be used with Blustream RX70CS HDBaseT™
Receivers. Using an alternative Blustream HDBaseT™ receiver will result in the CSC functionality not being available so
the maximum output resolution will be 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 (10.2Gbps).
