EDID
E4200 encoders can import custom-built EDIDs. An EDID is a string of 256 bytes of information formatted in hexadecimal notation.
These bytes share information about all of the capabilities of the endpoint device, and different devices format the EDID in their own
way.
E4200 allows for individual EDID settings to be selected for each encoder input. The EDIDs may be set using the Configuration tab
of the encoder web UI. VIDEO.EDID1 = HDMI1 IN, VIDEO.EDID2 = HDMI2 IN, VIDEO.EDID3 = USB-C IN.
The EDID file must be formatted properly in order to be imported to a E4200 encoder.
1. Create a text file with the extension
.edid
.
2. Format the 256 bytes of EDID data as in the example below (substituting your values).

3. Save the
*.edid
file.
4. Upload the EDID to the encoder.
5. Power cycle the encoder to use the new EDID file.
The source device may need to be power-cycled in order to accept the new EDID. Physically remove power from the source device
then reapply it.

E4200 encoders support multi-input select between HDMI1, HDMI2, and USB-C. Each of the selectable inputs have their own
selectable EDID setting. VIDEO.EDID1 is used for HDMI1, VIDEO.EDID2 is used for HDMI2, and VIDEO.EDID3 is used for USB-C.

A custom splash screen may be uploaded to the decoder for use when there is no audio source, or a source time out occurs. The file
must be a JPEG (
*.jpg
) and be less than 500KB (524287 bytes) in size. Resolution should be 1920x1080. Other resolutions will
result in lower quality or aspect ratio mismatch.
