EDID on the HDMI and DisplayPort inputs
If you are using a computer graphics card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically configure itself to suit
the projector.
Otherwise refer to the documentation supplied with the source to manually set the resolution to the DMD™ resolution of the projector or the
nearest suitable setting. Switch off the source, connect to the projector, then switch the source back on again.
Using HDMI/DisplayPort switchers with the projector
When using an HDMI/DisplayPort source switcher with the projector, it is important to set the switcher so that it passes the projector EDID
through to the source devices. If this is not done, the projector may not be able to lock to the source or display the source correctly as its
video output timings may not be compatible with those of the projector. Sometimes this is called transparent, pass-through or clone mode.
See your switcher’s manual for information on how to set this mode.
Additionally, sources which use HDCP encryption may not display properly when connected to the projector via a switcher. Refer to the
switcher’s manual for more information.
