EDID

The EDID switch allows for EDID learning or to pre-set an EDID to encourage a “handshake” between the 
display and source.

The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever any display on the HDMI output port is not outputting 
audio and/or 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 acceptable among all HDMI displays connected. In this case, a 720p 
stereo HDMI signal output would be probably the safest choice. The EDID function can also force the splitter 
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.
See dip switch positions on page 9 to adjust EDID, this can be adjusted while the unit is turned off or while 
turned on. 
Note:  The default factory setting is EDID mode 1, in this default setting; the splitter will detect the first HDMI 
output source’s EDID setting and record it internally.  If there is no display connected on output 1, the splitter 
will switch to EDID mode 4 for 280702, EDID mode 6 for 280704, or EDID mode 10 for 280708, when a 
display is connected, the splitter will then copy the display’s EDID and copy, then send straight to the selected 
source.  
DIP switch set to 0 = OFF
DIP switch set to 1 = ON
Each of the EDID settings listed in the tables on page 9 can be set while the splitter is turned ON or OFF, 
select the EDID setting based on the displays and source equipment that is connected to the splitter.  Often 
times, going through each EDID is recommended until each display is functioning with the desired picture and 
audio quality.
