Sources and Destinations
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
# edid
▪
Factory
EDID list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F149).
▪
Dynamic
EDID list shows the display device connected to the device's outputs. The unit stores the last
display devices’ EDID on either output, so there is an EDID shown even if there is no display device
attached to the output port at the moment.
▪
User memory
locations can be used to save custom EDIDs.
In MMX8x4-HT400MC and MMX8x4-HT420M models: (U1 – U27)
In MMX8x8-HDMI-4K-A model: (U1 – U24)
▪
Emulated
EDID list shows the currently emulated EDID for the inputs. The source column displays the
memory location that the current EDID was routed from.
The source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory on the INPUT port. Any EDID from any of the
User/Factory/Dynamic EDID lists can be copied to the user memory.
There are two types of emulation:
static
and
dynamic
.
▪
Static EDID emulation
: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected. Thus, the Emulated EDID
remains the same until the user emulates another EDID.
▪
Dynamic EDID emulation
: it can be enabled by selecting D1-D4 EDID memory. The attached monitor’s
EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID changes
automatically.
