Matrixing
This section is used to map an HDMI Output to and HDMI Input. Click on the appropriate rectangle on
the matrix to connect an output to an input. Clicking on a top row labeled “Input” will map this column
to all the outputs. Clicking on the top row labeled “\” will map Input 1 to Output 1, Input 2 to Output2,
Input 3 to Output 3 and so on…
There are Presets available on the matrix. Once an Input-Output matrix is configured, click on a Save
button. Clicking on its respective Preset button will load the saved Input-Output matrix setting.
EDID Management
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) informs the source what the sink is capable of receiving.
Manage the EDID that the sources receive by first clicking on the “Select Inputs” pulldown and selecting
the desired HDMI input. Next, click on the “Select EDID” pulldown and choose any of the preset EDID
values (1080p60, 2160p30, 2160p30 HDR, 2160p60, 2160p60 HDR), any connected displays (sinks), or
any uploaded Custom EDIDs (Custom EDID 1-8). Configure the appropriate Audio Settings (2-Channel
Stereo, Dolby Audio, or DTS) then click the "Set EDID" button to execute. The displays may temporarily
go to black as EDID negotiation is handled between the HXL-Plus and the sources.
Click the “Upload EDID Browse” button to choose an EDID file stored on the computer. Depending on
the computer’s operating system, a file browser will open to allow the user to select a proper EDID file
(256-byte binary file format). Once an EDID file is selected, click the Upload button then a pop-up
window will indicate a successful upload. Up to eight/four (HXL-88Plus/HXL-44Plus) Custom EDID files
can be uploaded to the unit. Clicking on the “Select EDID” button will now show the new Custom EDID
file on the dropdown list.
EDID Viewer
The EDID Viewer table shows the active EDID selected for each source. To change the active EDID, use
the EDID Management section to configure an available EDID for each source. The default active EDID
for all sources is the built-in “2160p60, 2ch PCM Only, No HDR”.
