EACH TIME DIP SWITCHES ARE CHANGED; THE ATLONA SWITCH HAS TO POWER CYCLED.
DIP#1
: Auto EDID Management (ADM) is a smart function which will allow users to have matrix switch figure out
the best and most appropriate EDID.
The way it works: Atlona 8x8 matrix acquires EDID from all the outputs and after processing it, chooses the EDID
which will work on all the outputs.
Example # 1: User has 8 outputs connected where 6 of the outputs are 1080P TV’s only and the other 2 locations
are 720P TV’s. The Atlona’s EDID would be 720P with 2-channel Stereo (because most TV’s will only be able to
take stereo audio though HDMI input).
Example # 2: User has 8 outputs connected, where 6 outputs are 1080P TV’s and the remaining are 2 x Surround
Sound Receivers (after connected to the TV’s for video only). The Atlona’s EDID would be 1080P with Stereo or
PCM (because most TV’s will only take Stereo Audio though HDMI input).
DIP#2
: Record EDID from output port to the input port. Select the output you would like to record the EDID from
and select the input you would like to record it to. Press and hold the output you wish to record the data from for
# 4 seconds; the data will be recorded to the input pointed at the output you were holding. For example, when
input # 1 is going to output # 3, after pressing and holding the Output # 3 button for 4 seconds, switch will record
EDID from output # 3 to input # 1.
DIP#3
: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with Stereo
Audio.
DIP#4
: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with 5.1 Digital Audio.
This mode is designed for applications where user has AV Receivers in each remote location which are able to
accept Digital Audio from HDMI inputs. If this mode is selected and in even one of the locations user has a TV
without an AV receiver, the TV might “mute” or start outputting garbled audio (because most TV’s don’t support
digital audio though HDMI input)
DIP#5
: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with 7.1 Digital Audio.
This mode is designed for applications where user has AV Receivers in each remote location which are able to
accept Digital Audio from HDMI inputs. If this mode is selected and in even one of the locations user has a TV
without an AV receiver, the TV might “mute” or start outputting garbled audio (because most TV’s don’t support
digital audio though HDMI input)
DIP#6
: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080i with Stereo Audio.
VERY IMPORTANT:
If one of your Output devices is a projector or a display with a unique resolution your sources/source
which are/is connected to the switch might not send out a proper video format which will result image to
intermit or signal not show up on the display.
Solution: Make sure your DIP switch configuration is either DIP # 2. Route the device in question to the
output in question. Press and hold the output you wish to record the data from for # 4 seconds; the data
will be recorded to the input pointed at the output you were holding. For example, when input # 1 is go-
ing to output # 3, after pressing and holding the Output # 3 button for 4 seconds, switch will record EDID
from output # 3 to input # 1
Resetting back to Default: Select DIP combination # 3 and power cycle the switch
