EDID MANAGEMENT
Audio Channel Selection
The 1:8 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 features a switch that will modify the supported
audio formats listed in the pre-programmed EDID. This feature is useful for
limiting the output of the source device to either 2 or multi-channel audio formats.
NOTE:
This selector switch will only affect the pre-programmed EDID in the
INTERNAL (INT) EDID Mode.
The 1:8 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 can use either of the following settings for audio
format support:
1. 2
Channel:
This setting will limit the audio formats listed in the pre-
programmed EDID to 2 channel LPCM. For a full listing of the audio formats
in this mode please see page 10.
To use this mode, set the Audio Selection Switch on the front panel to the
2
CH
position.
This mode is useful in scenarios where all output devices/displays are HDTV
monitors that only support 2 channel LPCM. This setting will ensure that all
connected devices will receive and produce sound.
2. Multi-Channel:
This setting will enable all common audio formats in the pre-
programmed EDID. For a full listing of the audio formats in this mode please
see page 10.
To use this mode, set the Audio Selection Switch on the front panel to the
Multi CH
position.
This mode is useful in scenarios where the output devices/displays are
varying devices (e.g. HDTV display and audio receivers). Please note that
sound may not be heard from all output devices/displays if a shared common
audio format is not used by the source device.
