5.0 EDID management 

The HSM-44-BX gives users the flexibility to configure the EDID for each input. 

The source for the EDID data associated with each input can be from one of 15 

standard built-in choices or copied from any of the TVs connected to a 

particular output. There is also an advanced mode for dynamic “on-the-fly” 

EDID Computation to guarantee that all displays connected to any input will be 

able to display the video from that input (as explained below in Section 4.2). 
By default, the EDID for all inputs are set to 1080p video with 2-channel audio 

for maximum compatibility but users can easily change the EDID used at all or 

any of the inputs. 

5.1 EDID Configuration 

This option allows the user to choose a specific EDID table and load it into any 

selected input port on the matrix. HSM-44-BX comes with 15 common EDIDs 

saved in its internal memory or you can copy the EDID of any TV connected to 

outputs. 

 

Press MENU and navigate to "EDID Config" and press 

SET

 

Browse through the 15-different preset EDIDs or any of the eight EDIDs 

of the current outputs. 

 

Press 

SET

 to select the EDID. 

 

Select an input to copy the EDID. 

 

Press 

SET

 to load the EDID to selected input.  

Note: If you decide to copy EDID from an output, but the EDID of the output is not valid (for 
example if the output is disconnected), the Matrix does not modify the input EDID and will 
display an error message. 

Below are the choices of EDIDs under EDID Config menu:
