ACM - Multicast Advanced Control Module USER MANUAL
Introduction
Impotant Note:
The Blustream Multicast system distributes HDMI video over managed network hardware. It is advised that Blustream
Multicast products are connected on an independent network switch (or VLAN) to prevent unnecessary interference, or
reduction in signal performance due to other network products bandwidth requirements.
Please read and understand the instructions in this manual and ensure that the network switch is configured correctly
prior to connecting any Blustream Multicast products. Failure to do so will result in problems with configuration of the
system and video performance.
• Web interface module for configuration and control of the Blustream Multicast system
• Intuitive 'Drag & Drop' source selection with video preview feature for active monitoring of system status
• Advanced signal management for independent routing of Video, Audio, IR, RS-232, and USB/KVM
• Auto system configuration
• 2x RJ45 LAN connections to bridge existing network to Multicast video distribution network, resulting in:
- Better system performance as network traic is separated
- No advanced network setup required
- Independent IP address per LAN connection
- Allows simplified TCP/IP control of Multicast system
• RS-232 integration for control of Multicast system
• IR integration for control of Multicast system
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) to power ACM from PoE switch
• Local 12V power supply (optional) should switch not support PoE
• Support for iOS and Android App control
• 3rd party drivers available for most control brands
The UHD Multicast distribution platform allows distribution of HDMI video over a 1Gb Network switch. The ACM200 &
ACM210 Advanced Control Modules (known as 'ACM' from this point forwards in this guide) allow advanced third party
control of the Multicast system using TCP / IP, RS-232 and IR.
The ACM includes a web interface module for control and configuration of the Multicast system and features 'Drag &
Drop' source selection with media preview and independent routing of Video, Audio, IR, RS-232, and USB / KVM.
Pre-built Blustream product drivers simplify Multicast product installation and negate the need for an understanding
of complex network infrastructures.
This User Guide covers the features and functionality for both the ACM200 and ACM210 Advanced Control Module
products from Blustream.
The ACM200 is currently used for IP50HD, IP200UHD and IP250UHD systems only.
The ACM210 can be used for individual IP50HD, IP200UHD, IP250UHD, IP300UHD and IP350UHD systems.
Please note: IP200UHD and IP250UHD systems are interoperable. IP300UHD and IP350UHD systems are interoperable.
The IP50HD is a standalone system and is not interoperabel with eithe rof the above 2 sets of Multciast systems.

ACM - Multicast Advanced Control Module USER MANUAL
The ACM communication ports are located on both end panels and include the following connections:
Connections:
A. TCP/IP – for Multicast system control (RJ45 connector)
B. Infrared (IR) Input* - 3.5mm stereo jack - for Multicast I/O switching control only
C. RS-232 – for Multicast system control / RS-232 pass-through (DB9)
* Please note: the ACM200 can be used with both 5V and 12V IR line systems. Please ensure that the switch (adjacent
to the IR port) is correctly selected to the specification of the IR line input from the control system.
TCP/IP:
The Blustream ACM can be controlled via TCP/IP. For the full list of protocols please see the separate ‘API Commands’
document which can be downloaded from the Blustream website. A ‘straight-through’ RJ45 patch lead should be used
when connected to a network switch.
Control Port: 23
Default IP: 192.168.0.225
Default Username: admin
Default Password: 1 2 3 4
Please note: at the first log-in to the ACM, a new password will be required to be entered. It is not possible to reset this
without resetting the ACM unit. Please ensure the new password is noted down and kept for future reference.
RS-232 / Serial:
The ACM can be controlled via serial using the DB9 connector. Default settings below. For the full list of protocols
please see the separate ‘API Commands’ document which can be downloaded from the Blustream website.
Baud Rate: 57600
Data Bit: 8-bit
Parity: None
Stop Bit: 1-bit
Flow Control: None
The baud rate for the ACM can be adjusted using the web-GUI, or by issuing the following command via RS-232 or
Telnet: RSB x : Set RS-232 Baud Rate to Xbps
Where X= 0 : 115200
1 : 57600

The Multicast system can be controlled using local IR control from a third party control system. Source selection is
the only feature available when using local IR control - advanced features of the ACM such as video wall mode, audio
embedding etc. can only be achieved using RS-232 or TCP/IP control.
Blustream have created 16x input & 16x output IR commands allowing source selection of up to 16x Multicast
Transmitters on up to 16x Multicast Receivers. For systems larger than 16x source devices, RS-232 or TCP/IP control
will be required.

ACM Network Connection
The ACM acts as a bridge between the control network and video network to ensure that the data travelling between
the two networks are not mixed. The ACM must be connected via CAT cable in accordance with typical networking
requirements.

Web-GUI Guide
The web-GUI of the ACM allows for full configuration of a new system, as well as ongoing maintenance and control of
an existing system through a web portal.
The ACM can (eventually) be accessed on any internet connected device including: tablets, smart phones and laptops
that are on the same 'Control' network. The ACM is shipped with a static IP address (as below), and is not set with
DHCP enabled.
Sign In / Log In
We would recommend that a computer / laptop is connected directly to the Control port of the ACM for the initial
configuraiton of a new system. As noted previously, the ACM is shipped with a static IP address, not HDCP. There are
instructions of how to amend the static IP address of a computer / laptop towards the rear of this manual.
To log in, open a web browser (i.e. Safari, Firefox, MS Edge etc.) and navigate to the default static IP address of the ACM
which is:
192.168.0.225
The sign in page is presented on connection to the ACM. The default admin password is: 1 2 3 4
The ACM requires a new password to be set for the Administrator on first log-in. It is not possible to reset this without
resetting the ACM unit. Please ensure the new password is noted down and kept for future reference. Once the new
password has been created, the ACM will require this once further to log-into the administration menu of the unit.

ACM - Multicast Advanced Control Module USER MANUAL
On first log in of the ACM, a Set-up Wizard for configuring all components of the Multicast system will be presented.
This has been designed to speed up new system configuration as all default / new Multicast Transmitters & Receivers
can be connected to the network switch at the same time, whilst not resulting in an IP conflict during the system
configuration. This results in a system in which all components are automatically and sequentially assigned a name
and IP address ready for basic system use.
New Project Set-up Wizard
The ACM Set-up Wizard can be cancelled by clicking 'Close'. Please be aware that the system will not be configured
at this point, but can be continued by visiting the 'Project' menu. If a Project File is already available (i.e. replacing an
ACM on an existing site), this can be imported by using the saved .json file by clicking 'Import Project'.
Click 'Next' to continue set-up:
If at this point the chosen Network hardware is not configured for use with a Blustream Multicast system, click on the
hyperlink 'network switch setup guides' to navigate to a centralised webpage containing common Network Switch
Guides.
An example schematic diagram for the connections of the ACM can be accessed by clicking the hyperlink marked
'diagram'. This will ensure the ACM is connected correctly to the wider Multicast system before the Set-up Wizard
begins. Once the connections of the ACM are confirmed, click 'Next'.

New Project Set-up Wizard - continued...
During normal use, the ACM will poll for status updates and screen-grabs of the media travelling through the system.
The polling of this information constantly has an aect with larger systems (75+ end points). The next stage of the
configuration is to pre-define the size of project. The options here are:
0-75 Products
75+ Products
This setting can be adjusted in the future should the system size increase.
