EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find
out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display, from this information the source will discover what the best audio and video
resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure, issues do arise when multiple
displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the sources and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking
thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches on the XT-MX42-4K18G. EDID dip-switch settings are shown below.
Note:
You must power cycle the product after making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power cycle the source after EDID
changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.
