DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION – EDID
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require
information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions
and features are available. The source can then cater its output to send only
resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/display.
This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and a
source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected device/
display. Likewise, the source can only output one resolution for use by a
connected device/display.
The Extender for HDMI1.3 over one CAT6 uses DIP #1 to control EDID modes.
There are 2 EDID modes; LOCAL and PASSTHROUGH. When DIP #1 is in
the OFF position, the LOCAL mode is enabled. This will create a new EDID
by copying all video and audio features of the connected device. In this mode,
enabling Deep Color (Dip #2 =ON) will not affect the video features of the EDID.
By default, the unit is shipped in PASSTHROUGH mode with DIP #1 in the ON
position. The PASSTHROUGH mode will allow all video and audio features of the
connected device to pass through to the source while also allowing the user to
control Deep Color support by the procedure on the previous page.
When switching DIP #1 between the OFF and ON position, please follow the
procedure outlined below:
1. Disconnect power from the receiver and locate the DIP switch bank on the
bottom of the unit. NOTE: You may need to remove the piece of silver
colored metallic tape to expose the DIP switch bank.
2. Refer to the DIP switch diagram (page 9, middle) and while referring to it,
locate DIP #1 on the DIP switch bank. Move DIP #1 to the “ON” or “OFF”
position. The “OFF” position will use the LOCAL EDID mode. The “ON”
position sets the unit in PASSTHROUGH mode, allowing the source to use
the original EDID features of the display.
3. Reconnect power to the receiver unit.
