Introduction

The Blustream SW42DA is a 4-Way HDMI switch that has been designed to breakout, convert, and downmix embedded Dolby Audio or DTS Audio within a HDMI switching environment.
The SW42DA will pass native video with the embedded multi-channel audio to compatible equipment on output 1, with a second HDMI output featuring optional video down-scaling from 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 or 4:2:0, video down to 1080p, with the native embedded audio, or down-mixed 2ch audio as required.
Audio capabilities include the selection and manipulation of formats across both multichannel and 2ch downmixed. The Dante output allows for 9.1ch breakout and embedding into a Dante digital signal, and/or 7.1ch breakout with a separate 2ch downmixed Dante output.
Optical S/PDIF breakout (2ch or 5.1ch as required), individual analogue multi-channel breakout, and 2ch downmixed balanced/unbalanced analogue audio can also be broken out as required directly from the unit.
The SW42DA provides an advanced, but cost effective solution for ensuring that 4K UHD video and multi-channel audio can be distributed around a Dante multi-room system where there are a mixture of 2ch and/or 7.1ch zones or 7.1.2ch / 5.1.4ch (9.1ch) audio, with multiple output resolution requirements. Perfect for cinema and media room set up’s where local content would be shared within a multi-zone distributed system where either multichannel or down-mixed audio is required.

The SW42DA features two RJ45 ports. Functionality of these port can be controlled by selecting the Network Mode on the rear of the unit, allowing the SW42DA to suit the needs of the installation:

– Mode 1: The PoE+ Dante® port allows connection to Dante®, TCP/IP and the web-GUI
– Mode 2: The PoE+ Dante® port allows connection to Dante®. The TCP/IP port allows access to TCP/IP and the web-GUI

The IR EXT port can be used to control the SW42DA via the included remote when the IR Receiver Window is obstructed, or via a 3rd party control processor.
For full configuration of the SW42DA, the in-built Web-GUI must be utilised

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, then from this information the source will determine what the best resolution is to output.
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.
The SW42DA will act as an ‘end point’ in the HDMI signal path. Using the EDID dip-switches predetermines the video resolution and audio format of the source, regardless of the video output resolution that the SW42DA scales to.
To change the EDID settings move the EDID dip-switches as required on the front panel of the unit. Please see below table for settings:

Channel Line Outputs

The 2 channel line output can be assigned as a 2ch downmixed audio signal, or re-allocated as additional height speakers when decoding 7.1.2ch or 5.1.4ch signals. The analogue output can be wired with balanced or unabalanced audio devices with the pin out as adjacent.

Web-GUI – Log In and Initialisation

The following pages will take you through the operation of the unit’s web-GUI. You must connect a TCP/IP RJ45 socket to your local network, or directly from your computer to the SW42DA, in order to access the product’s web-GUI.
By default, the unit is set to DHCP; however, if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed, the unit’s IP address will revert to below details:
Default IP Address is: 192.168.0.200
Default Admin Username is: blustream
Default Admin Password is: @Bls1234

If the IP address of the SW42DA is not known, it can be found by:
– Using the front panel buttons to scroll to the IP address
– Using a 3rd party IP scanning tool
– Using RS-232 connection and sending ‘STATUS’ command; this will return all settings of the SW42DA
– Using the default hostname address: sw42da.local

When initially accessing the web-GUI of the SW42DA, the Guest Control page is shown as below. Permissions for the Guest can be set so as to restrict control of the unit for users who are not logged in.

Login Page:
The web-GUI supports multiple users along with multiple user permissions as follows:
– Admin (Blustream)
The Admin account allows full access to all functions and configuration of the unit.
– User Accounts
User accounts can be utilised, each with individual login details and can be assigned permissions to specific inputs and functions.
– Guest
The Guest user can access the control page without logging in.

Please note: The guest user should have permissions set to prevent unwanted access, as they do not require credentials for control of the unit.

Please note: the first time the Administrator logs into the web-GUI of the SW42DA, the default password must be changed to a unique password. Please retain this password for future use. Forgetting the password will mean having to factory reset the unit, losing all prior network and configuration settings.
New password regulations requires passwords being set for products to be a minimum of 8 characters and contain a minimum of: 1 x uppercase letter, 1 x lowercase latter, 1 x symbol and 1 x number.

Dante® Audio
The SW42DA is seen as 2x Dante® audio products – both an 8ch (7.1) and 2ch Dante® device, each with their own settings that can be updated and managed / routed independently.

Dante® Controller
Dante® Controller software is required in order to configure the SW42DA as well as control your Dante® network. Audinate provide extensive training videos and documentation on their website. This can be found here: http://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
Upon connecting the SW42DA to a compatible network, the Dante® Controller software should automatically discover the device.
The SW42DA will appear in the Dante® Controller with the name “SW42DA-MULTI” and “SW42DA-DOWNMIX”

It is possible to route all audio channels independently, but these are intended for 7.1ch + 2ch downmix use, or (if configured) as 7.1.2ch or 5.1.4ch speaker configuration.

Dante® Controller
By default, the SW42DA is shipped with the network settings set to obtain an IP Address automatically on the Dante® port. This means that if a DHCP server is present on the network, the SW42DA will be provided with an IP Address. If no DHCP server is present, then the SW42DA will receive a default IP Address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. To change the IP Address of the SW42DA, enter the “Audio” page and access the web-GUI for the Dante® module that you wish to udpate.

Advanced Dante® Settings
It is possible to change various Dante® related settings of the SW42DA under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante® Controller software. To do so, select the “Device Config” menu.
Here it is possible to adjust the sample rate of the SW42DA. Please note: Dante® products can only transmit or receive audio from other Dante® products that are set up with the same sample rate. A mismatch in sample rate may stop audio from transmitting.
Under the “Device Config” screen the latency of the SW42DA can be configured with 1, 2 or 5 milliseconds delay.

RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands

The SW42DA can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP.
The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud rate: 57600
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity bit: none
The following pages list all available serial / IP commands.

Commonly Used Serial Commands
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:

Common Mistakes

• Carriage return: Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly after the string. In the case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces: Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that require spacing in order to work.
• How the string should look is as follows: OUTON
• How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}ON
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
