IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
Introduction
The Blustream IP300 series Multicast distribution platform allows virtually latency free (1 frame) distribution of 4K HDMI video over a 1Gb managed network.
Featuring full interoperability, the IP300UHD and IP350UHD-RX is an industry leading Dante enabled (IP350UHD only) 4K HDCP 2.2 video over IP platform that, using visually lossless compression technology, delivers 18Gbps HDMI, Dante & AES67 audio (IP350UHD only), bi-directional IR, RS-232 & USB/KVM up to lengths of 100m over standard copper network architecture, or greater distances using the in-built fibre SFP network interface (copper only on the IP300UHDWP-TX). The IP350UHD series can support both video and Dante audio distribution from a single network. A second RJ45 connection allows for the Dante audio network interface to be segregated from the video over IP network if required.
With a full 18Gbps HDMI scaling chipset on-board, the HDMI output can be adjusted to lower resolutions where legacy displays are required in the same system as full 4K. The units can be powered via PoE from the network switch, or locally should the switch not support PoE. With multiple configuration options available, the flexibility of the Blustream Multicast video over IP solution makes this platform ideal for multiple installation types.

Features

no optical on IP300UHD-WP) · OLED front panel display for advanced system information and manual configuration · Optional 24V power supply (should Ethernet switch not support PoE) · Features 4 operational modes:
– Matrix distribution (requires 1Gb network switch) – Video wall (requires 1Gb network switch) – One-to-one HDMI extender (no network switch required) – One-to-many HDMI extender (no network switch required)

Please note: The Blustream Multicast system distributes HDMI video over Layer 2 or 3 Managed network hardware. It is advised that Blustream Multicast products are connected on an independent network switch to prevent interference or drop in signal performance due to other network products. Please take care to make sure that you have read and understood the instructions in this manual and that you have setup your network switch correctly prior to connecting any Blustream Multicast products. Failure to do so will result in problems with configuration of the system and video performance.

IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
HDMI Over IP Network Configuration
The Blustream Multicast system distributes HDMI video over Layer 3 Managed network hardware. It is advised that Blustream Multicast products are connected to an independent network switch to prevent interference or drop in signal performance due to other network products bandwidth requirements. Blustream Multicast products are not limited to certain brands of network hardware, but should a network switch that Blustream have not tested or written instructions for be used, ensure it supports the following network features:
Multicast – (one-to-many or many-to-many distribution) is group communication where information is addressed to a group of network devices simultaneously (Blustream IP3xxUHD-RX Receivers).
Instant Leave / Fast Leave / Immediate Leave – a feature associated with Multicast and means that as soon as an active connection is no longer required (the link between Transmitter and Receiver) the Multicast group and flow of track is stopped instantly. This prevents unnecessary flow of network traffic on the network switch.
IGMP Snooping – the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic. The feature allows a network switch to listen in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers (Transmitters and Receivers). By listening to this flow of traffic the switch maintains a map of which links need which IP multicast streams. Multicasts may be filtered from the links which do not need them and thus controls which ports receive specific multicast traffic.
Jumbo Frames / Jumbo Packets / MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) – Ethernet frames with more than 1,500 bytes of payload. Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9,216 bytes of payload, but variations exist and some care must be taken when using the term. Many Gigabit Ethernet switches can support jumbo frames.
Please note: Blustream have worked with many network switch providers to create setup guides and saved configuration files to help configure the products to work with Multicast hardware. These configuration files can be downloaded from the Blustream website, by downloading the “Network Switch Guide” from any of the IP3xxUHD series products inside the Downloads tab.

Configuration & Control of an IP3xxUHD Multicast System
Manual Configuration: The IP300UHD-TX/RX and IP350UHD TX/RX products can all be manually configured using the front panel buttons alongside the information on the OLED panel. Manual configuration can be used for smaller systems where an ACM (Advanced Control Module) controller will not be required for control. It is recommended to use the ACM for systems that contain larger numbers of units, or where more than 1x Transmitter unit is present. Please note: the IP300UHD-WP-TX cannot be manuallty configured and will require the ACM controller.
ACM210 – Advanced Control Module: The Blustream ACM210 includes a web interface module for both configuration and control of a Multicast system. The web-GUI features ‘drag and drop’ source selection with video preview, control of independent routing of IR, RS-232, USB/KVM, CEC, Audio and Video. Pre-built Blustream product drivers simplify Multicast product installation and negate the need for an understanding of complex network infrastructures.

1 Optical Out – S/PDIF: The optical output port on an IP300UHD-TX or IP350UHD-TX can be used to breakout audio from the HDMI input source device at up to 5.1ch multi-channel audio. The output can also be paired with an IP3xxUHD-RX to bring a dedicated optical audio return channel to an amplifier from a zone (Receiver). On the IP350UHD-TX, the Optical output can also output 2ch audio from a Dante end-point connected to the Dante network.
2 HDMI In: The HDMI In port is eARC / ARC enabled allowing for the Transmitter on any IP300UHD-TX / IP350UHD-RX to be linked to an IP300UHD-RX or IP350UHD-RX for HDMI eARC / ARC to be passed back from a display to an AVR.
3 Audio In – 5-pin balanced / unbalanced Phoenix: The analogue audio input can be used to replace the original HDMI audio of the source connected to the Multicast Transmitter with analogue L/R 2ch audio. The embedded analogue audio is then distributed with the adjacent HDMI video signal throughout the Multicast system. Switching between original HDMI audio and embedded line level analogue 2ch audio is achieved using Blustream serial/Telnet/IP commands, or by selecting the Audio Source within the ACM web-GUI. With the IP350UHD-TX, the analogue audio can be encoded onto a Dante stream as required and distributed via the Dante network.
Please note: It is only possible to select EITHER: HDMI audio, or local analogue line input. It is not possible to distribute both audio sources simultaneously.
4 Audio Out – 5-pin balanced / unbalanced Phoenix: The analogue output can be used to breakout the embedded 2ch analogue source audio from the HDMI signal. With the IP350UHD-TX, the analogue audio can instead be used to decode from a separate Dante streamfrom within the Dante network.
Please note: The source input must be PCM 2ch audio for the analogue audio output to work. The Blustream Multicast products do not down-mix Dolby Digital, DTS or multi-channel audio signals.

3 Audio Out – 5-pin balanced / unbalanced Phoenix:
The analogue audio output can be used to breakout 2ch audio from the HDMI video being output from the HDMI port. With the IP350UHD-RX, 2ch audiocan be decoded from an end point within a connected Dante system as required. Please note: The HDMI stream must be PCM 2ch audio for Analogue L/R audio output to work. The Blustream Multicast products do not down-mix Dolby Digital, DTS or 5.1ch audio signals.

Interoperability
The IP300 series units are all interoperable with eachother (IP300UHD, IP300UHD-WP, and IP350UHD), but are not compatible with other Blustream Multicast equipment (IP50HD, IP200UHD, or IP500UHD series) as differing codecs are used for the transport of the video through the network. The IP300 series is also not compatible with older / legacy IP100UHD systems from Blustream.

IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
InfraRed Control
The Blustream Multicast system can be controlled using local IR hardware connected directly to the IP300 series Receivers. This prevents the need for a third party control solution, or where simple IR control is all that is required. Only the source selection feature is available using local IR control through the Receiver. For advanced features such as video wall mode, audio embedding etc RS-232 or TCP/IP control will need to be used. Blustream have created 80x IR commands allowing source selection of up to 80x IP300 series Transmitters. For systems larger than 80x source devices (IP300 series Transmitters) the ACM210 control module is recommended.

InfraRed Pass-Through (Source Control)
The Multicast products feature InfraRed pass-through allowing users to use an original source remote to control the sources located in another area. The IR signal is routed discreetly to the source that is currently selected, meaning that individual source control can be achieved with installations consisting of multiple source equipment of the same type, i.e. – multiple Satellite boxes of the same make / model.
Please note: The IR pass-through features are available in all modes of Multicast use (matrix mode, video-wall, one-toone, and one-to-many)

Connections: The IRR – IR receiver is connected to the IR IN socket on the IP300 series Receiver.

InfraRed Pass-Through (Display Control)
With the ACM210, IR can be routed independently from any IP300UHD-TX or IP350UHD-TX to any IP300 series Receiver unit for display control, regardless of the current video stream routing between a receiver and another transmitter. Instructions for the confiuguration of Fixed Routing can be found in the ACM210 User Manual, downloadable from the Blustream website. The commands for fixed routing can be found within the API of the ACM.
Connections: When using third party 12V IR control solutions please use Blustream IR-CAB cable for IR conversion from 12V to 5V. If the control system uses a 5V IR line, then a straight-through stereo 3.5mm cable can be used. Connect the IR output of the third party control system to the IR IN of the IP300 series Transmitter.

Manual Configuration of Multicast Products
The Blustream Multicast system can be configured without the need of a computer, allowing basic setup options such as addressing of products (IP configuration), EDID selection, and Scaler output selection. Manual configuration does not require the product to be connected to a network switch in order to be set-up, it only requires the units to be powered either by local power supply (24V 1A) or by a PoE switch/power injector. This means that a basic configuration can easily be achieved offsite, without any network hardware in place. Please note: Advanced features such as video walls cannot be setup via manual configuration, the ACM210 web-GUI is required for this.

Configuring the IP300 series Transmitter:
1) Power the IP300 series Transmitter – to configure the Multicast Transmitter first connect the product to a power supply (local or PoE network) and wait for the product to boot-up.

2) Put the IP300 series Transmitter into ‘Manual Configuration’ mode – once the product is powered press both the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ channel buttons on the front panel at the same time for 6 seconds to enter ‘Manual Configuration’ mode.

IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
EDID Control
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 device. From this information the source will discover what the best audio and video resolutions need to be output. As each Blustream Multicast IP300 series Receiver has its own in-built video scaler, it is advised that the source EDID is set to output the best video signal possible as this can be down-scaled (as required) at each Receiver. When configuring the EDID during manual setup, or using RS-232 commands the following table indicates EDID values:

IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
IP300 Series Firmware Update
It is important that the Transmitter and Receiver firmwares are all of a similar age to ensure consistent functionality of all of the supported features of the Multicast system. The latest firmware can be found on the Blustream Website within the tab marked ‘Firmware’. Updating firmware can be acheived in 2 ways: 1) Using the ACM210 web-GUI 2) Using the IP300 series Transmitter or Receiver web-GUI interface
We recommend updating firmware using a hard-wired connection to the system where the chances of the firmware package not being transmitted fully are limited. Disconnection of the product during firmware update may result in corrupting the firmware in the products, resulting in product failure. Prior to upgrading the firmware in Blustream Multicast products using either of the above methods it is important to first complete the below: 1) In order to communicate with the Blustream Multicast hardware a computer should be physically connected to either:
a) PoE network switch using an Ethernet network cable which is in turn connected to the Blustream IP300 series product b) The Blustream IP300 series product directly which must be powered locally using a 24V 1A power supply (sold separately)
2) The computer must also be in the same IP range as the Blustream IP300 series IP address. Instructions to update a computers IP range can be found in the `Changing your computer IP address’ instructions towards the rear of this guide. The default IP address of all new Multicast IP300 series product is:
169.254.100.254
Updating the IP300 series products from the ACM210 will require the system to have been configured so that it is possible to deploy the firmware from the ACM210. Please note: if using the ACM210 for firmware updating, only one product can be updated at a time. Please refer to the ACM210 manual for further instructions of how to update a units firmware. Updating the IP300 series products from the web-GUI of the product can be done simultaneously with up to 4 other products (5 max at a time). This is achieved by accessing the units on their individual IP addresses – see the following pages for the overview of the individual units web-GUI.
Please note: if updating firmware via the units web-GUI: closing, refreshing, or opening another browser window using the IP address of a unit already in the process of being updated, will corrupt the firmware package, and will result in product failure.

IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
Accessing the IP300 Series Web-GUI Interface
Each Blustream Multicast product is shipped with a fixed IP address of 169.254.100.254. Once the PC network is amended to work in the same IP range as the fixed IP of the Multicast products, it is possible to communicate directly with the built-in web server in each Multicast IP300 Series Transmitter or Receiver. Following configuration using either the ACM210 web-GUI, or by manual configuration, or the web-GUI interface of the product, the unit will have a different IP address to that of the factory default. The IP address of a configured Multicast product can be found on the front OLED panel. On entering the unit IP address into a web browser, a username and password prompt will be displayed. Enter the username: blustream Enter thas password: 1 2 3 4
Transmitters: The first product to be assigned an IP address when using the ACM210 Set-up Wizard, will be given the IP address of 169.254.3.1. The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.3.2 and so on…. Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is filled (254x units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.4.1 and so on… Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is filled (254x units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.5.1 up to 169.254.5.254 – this gives a maximum configuration of 762x Transmitters in any system using the ACM210. Receivers: The first product to be assigned an IP address when using the ACM210 Set-up Wizard, will be given the IP address of 169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.6.2 and so on…. Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is filled (254x units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.7.1 and so on… Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is filled (254x units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.8.1 up to 169.254.8.254 – this gives a maximum configuration of 762x Receivers in any system using the ACM210. This part of the guide will explain the use of directly communicating with an individual unit. It is assumed the IP address of the unit is known. The units web-GUI should primarily be used as a tool for checking configuration, or problem solving, rather than as a method for setting up a new system – the ACM210 Set-up Wizard has been designed to easily configure a new system from scratch.

IP300UHD & IP350UHD USER MANUAL
Terminating the interconnecting Network CAT cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the Blustream Multicast products is terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link CAT cable should 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 to use the best CAT cable quality possible. HDMI distribution products will only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable for installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.
