The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever you encounter any display on the HDMI output 

port  that  cannot  play  audio  and  video  properly.  Because  the  HDMI  source  devices  and  displays  may  have 
various level of capability in playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source device will output 
the  lowest  standards  in  audio  format  and  video  resolutions  to  be  commonly  acceptable  among  all  HDMI 
displays. In this case, a 720p stereo HDMI signal output would be probably the safest choice. Nevertheless, 
the user can force the matrix to learn the EDID of the lowest capable HDMI display among others to make sure 
all displays are capable to play the HDMI signals normally by performing the procedures stated below. 
 
 

 

SW1-SW8 Pin#1 and Pin#2 must be set “ON” & “OFF” for EDID Learning Mode 

 
 
 
 
 

Method 1: Manually connect HDMI displays to HDMI input ports

 

1.

 

Power up the matrix master unit. Connect the HDMI display that its EDID needs to be learned to any of the 
HDMI

 

INPU1-INPU8

 port where your source device has trouble to show the picture normally. 

2.

 

To learn the display

s EDID for source device

 

connected to respective HDMI 

INPU1-INPUT8

 port, pull 

both pins of respective DIP switch

 

SW1-SW8

 

up-and-down to stay at ON[

]-OFF[

] and wait for 

about 5 seconds 

to complete the EDID learning process. You DON’T NEED to pull up the DIP switch again 

unless you want to learn another display

s EDID by pulling both DIP switch pin-1 & pin-2 of 

SW1-SW8

 

up-and-down one more time. 

3.

 

Repeat step1 & step2 if you want to learn the EDID of this HDMI display on any other HDMI input ports 
that have same trouble playing the audio/video properly.
