EDID. What is it and what is it used for?

Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require

information from a connected device/display to know what resolutions and

features are available. The source can then cater its output to send only

resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/display.

This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data)

and a source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected

device/display. Likewise, the source can only output one resolution to a

connected device/display.

Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix?

The Matrix is a complex piece of technology that replicates and switches

between multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require

one EDID to read. EDID management is carefully handled by the HDMI Matrix to

provide a single EDID for each source to read.

What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix?

First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one

video/audio signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple

devices/displays are used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to use

devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions/features. This will

ensure that the single video/audio signal produced by the source device is

accepted by all of the connected output devices/displays. The user has the

option, through the EDID management window, to choose how the unit will

manage the EDID from multiple HDMI devices/displays. Therefore, the user has

some control over the resolutions/features that the source devices will output.

The HDMI Matrix has multiple EDID management modes that will control how

the EDID information from multiple devices/displays are combined, ignored, and

routed.

8. Basic Installation Diagram

1. Connect up to 4 sources such as a Blue-Ray Player, game console, A/V

Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc. to each HDMI input port on the unit.

Do not hot plug! Insert and unplug cables carefully with the power switch

off. Connecting and disconnecting cables while the unit is powered can

result in damage to the circuitry.

2. Connect each HDMI output to high-definition displays such as a HDTV or

HD projector that has HDMI input. Note: High-speed HDMI cables are

recommended for the distances required for each connection.

3. Plug in IR receiver to the port of the IR EXT on rear unit if needed.

4. Plug in DC power adapter first, followed by each display device and source

device.
