FAQ
Q
Can every TV work with the HDMI matrix?
A
Basically, the answer is YES. But if your TV can not support
1080p, please refer the EDID LEARNING section to learn EDID
from your TV.
Q
What is EDID? Why do I need to learn EDID?
A
EDID contains the whole information of the display such as
the resolution and audio setting which this display can
support. Therefore, based on the EDID information, media
player will pick up the most suitable resolution and audio set
ting to the display. In order to faithfully transmit the EDID
information from display to the media player, learning EDID
from display to this device is necessary.
Q
What should I do to learn EDID for the matrix?
A
Due to the limitation of HDMI, the source device can only
output one format of video and audio. In other words, the
source device cannot output 720p and 1080p video at the
same time, or output stereo and surround sound at the same
time. Therefore, you may need to manually setup each HDMI
input for desirable audio/video output format. The mechanism
of EDID Learning is to pick up the HDMI display with the
lowest capability among the ones you would use for this input
source. For example, if user would like to play the Input-2
upon output-2, output-3 and output-4, and only output-3
cannot support 1080p [support up to 720p only], please learn
the EDID from the display connected to the output-3 at the
Input-2 port. Of course, if outpt-3 would get the HDMI signals
from every HDMI input, please learn EDID information from
output3 to all four HDMI inputs. For more information about
EDID Learning, please refer to EDID LEARNING section.
