Explanation of Embedded EDIDs
Video Resolution in the Embedded EDIDs is the highest resolution a connected source will output. That is, if the
source is capable of 1080P@60 it will be required by EDIDs 1-6 to provide that resolution. However, if the source
is only capable of 1080i it will output 1080i, etc. It is assumed that any display that can accept the specified video
resolution can also accept all standard video resolutions less than that specified.
Color Depth
is the maximum number of bits used to encode color.
3D indicates that the source can output 3D if it is available in the content.
Audio Format indicates the maximum number of audio channels, as well as the audio format that the source is
allowed to output. For an Embedded EDID with 7.1ch Audio Format, the source device will output the highest
audio possible based on the content. For example, if 7.1ch is not available and 5.1ch is available, then the output
will be 5.1ch.The same is true if 2ch stereo is the only audio available from the source. Embedded EDIDs with 2ch
stereo will limit output to that audio format regardless of what is available in the content.
Embedded EDIDs 7 and 8 are provided for legacy displays that can only accept resolutions up to a maximum of
1080i / 720p. The 1080i is listed first since almost all older HD displays can accept 1080i but not all can accept
720p. For these two Embedded EDIDs, (7&8) the source will output 1080i. Should 1080i not be available, the
source will output 720p.
Note: There is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of older displays that may still be in
use. It will be necessary to use a learned EDID from the display to store in the input EDID of any sources that will
be routed to that display if 720p is not supported. See Section 8.5.

learned EDID.
When to Use Embedded EDIDs
• 2 channel audio is required for a particular output.
• Lower video resolution is required for a particular output.
7.4.2. How to Set Embedded EDID for a Single Input

FF (fail)
7.4.3. How to Set Embedded EDID for All Inputs
Example: Input =1 Embedded EDID=4 Display Readout (Example)
1. Press DEFAULT E-
2. Press ALL to select all Inputs A-
3. Press Number Key (
1-8
) to select Embedded EDID 4A
4. Press ENTER --(success)
FF (fail)
7.5. EDID Learning
For more advanced EDID configuration, learning can be used to assign EDIDs directly from displays to one or more
inputs. This is useful when the system contains a display that cannot accept the highest resolution available from
sources, but all sources need to be available to all displays.
Note: EDIDs can be learned from displays connected via the HDBaseT or the HDMI output.
