Summary

The Blustream C66CS is an HDMI matrix switcher controllable via TCP/IP (Telnet) and RS-232 serial. This spec documents the serial/Telnet command set including power control, output enable/disable, input-to-output routing, EDID management, and system status queries. The source document references model CMX88AB; C66CS may be a variant or regional designation sharing the same command set.

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: no settable continuous parameters (e.g. volume/gain) documented in source

Events

# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited notification events documented in source

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step sequences documented in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - reset_system
interlocks: []
# RESET command requires explicit "Yes" confirmation per source documentation.
# UNRESOLVED: no other safety warnings or interlock procedures found in source

Notes

  • Commands do not require spaces between elements (e.g. OUT01ON, not OUT 01 ON). Some control programs may require spaces depending on their parser.
  • Carriage return (\r / 0D hex) may or may not be required depending on the control software. Both cases should be tested.
  • RS-232 cable type (straight or null-modem) depends on the control device's serial port pin configuration.
  • The source document references model CMX88AB throughout; C66CS may share the same command set.
  • EDID default presets (00-14) cover HDMI resolutions from 1080i to 4K with various audio configurations (2CH PCM through 7.1CH), plus three DVI modes.
  • The matrix ships with DHCP enabled; default static IP is 192.168.0.200 when no DHCP server is present.
