EDID MANAGEMENT
Extended display identification data (EDID) is data sent by a display to describe its capabilities to a HDMI source.
For example, it’s what enables a modern computer to know what kinds of monitors are connected to it.
WHAT IS EDID?
Extended display identification data (EDID) is data sent by a display to describe its capabilities to a HDMI source.
For example, it’s what enables a modern computer to know what kinds of monitors are connected to it.
EDID management allows you to fix a specific EDID profile internally on the MHUB to assist with the connection
between the display and source. By ‘fixing’ the EDID you can specify the maximum resolution, 3D functionality
and audio output type from the matrix instead of the HDTV dictating what the source should output.
The matrix has multiple EDID management modes that will control how the EDID profiles from the individual
displays and devices are combined, ignored and routed.
A good example of when you might like to use this is if you have an AVR in your setup, that AVR would normally
default to stereo audio when connected to multiple displays. However, with EDID management you can force
that AVR to always use multi-channel audio.
EDID data can be modified using the settings page on DASH.
