Blustream ACM500 Multicast Advanced Control Module for TCP/IP, RS-232 and IR control of Blustream SDVoE 10GbE Multicast Systems with Web-GUI

 

The Blustream ACM500 Multicast Advanced Control Module takes control and configuration of your Blustream SDVoE 10GbE Multicast System to the next level. Designed to provide seamless and efficient control, this module offers TCP/IP, RS-232, and IR control options and a user-friendly web interface module for easy configuration.

Blustream's UHD SDVoE Multicast distribution platform ensures the transmission of uncompromised, high-quality 4K audio and video over copper or optical fibre 10GbE networks. With the ACM500 Control Module, you can harness the full potential of this distribution system and enjoy the benefits of advanced third-party control.

The ACM500 features an intuitive web interface module that allows you to configure and control the Blustream SDVoE 10GbE Multicast system effortlessly. With its 'drag and drop' source selection and video preview feature, you can actively monitor the system's status and make informed routing decisions. The module enables independent routing of IR, RS-232, USB/KVM, audio, and video signals, providing you with precise control over every aspect of your system.

One of the standout features of the ACM500 is its ability to simplify installation and eliminate the need for a deep understanding of complex network infrastructures. Pre-built Blustream product drivers come included, ensuring smooth integration of the Multicast system and simplifying the setup process.

The ACM500 offers a range of connectivity options to suit your needs. It features two RJ45 LAN connections that bridge your existing network to the Multicast video distribution network. This separation of network traffic results in better system performance and eliminates the need for advanced network configurations. Each LAN connection has an independent IP address, enabling simplified TCP/IP control of the Multicast system.

For seamless control integration, the ACM500 provides dual RS-232 ports. These ports can control the Multicast system directly or pass control to remote third-party devices. The module also supports 5V/12V IR integration, allowing you to control the Multicast system effortlessly.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability ensures a convenient power supply for the Blustream product directly from a PoE switch, reducing clutter and simplifying installation. If your Ethernet switch does not support PoE, a local 12V power supply option is available.

The ACM500 offers broad compatibility and convenience. It supports iOS and Android App control, allowing you to manage your system using your preferred mobile device. Additionally, 3rd-party drivers are available for all major control brands, ensuring seamless integration into your existing control ecosystem.

Elevate your control experience with the Blustream ACM500 Multicast Advanced Control Module. Its advanced features, user-friendly interface, and broad compatibility make it the ideal choice for effortless control and configuration of your Blustream SDVoE 10GbE Multicast System. Simplify your setup, enhance system performance, and take command of your audio/video distribution with the ACM500.

HDMI matrices and switches route your sources

Blustream's HDMI matrices and switches let you send several sources to several displays. The range includes 4x4 matrices such as the MX44AB-V2 and smaller switches such as the SW21AB-V2 and SW41AB-V2. A presentation switch, the MFP112, suits meeting rooms. Check the specification for the inputs and outputs.

HDBaseT extenders carry signals over distance

HDBaseT sends video, audio and control over a single network cable, which lets you place a display well away from its source. Blustream lists receivers such as the RX70AMP, which includes an amplifier, and extender sets such as the HEX100HDVGA-KIT.

Converters and cables fill the gaps

Audio extractors and converters, including the CAT100AU, DAC12AU, HD11AU, ADC11AU and DIG11AU, let you pull audio out of an HDMI signal or convert its format. Micro HDMI cables are also available, which helps when a source has only a micro connector.
