The factory EDID 49 has an exceptional role: the so-called Universal EDID stores
as many resolutions and capabilities as possible. If you want to get the best
available quality (i.e. highest supported resolution and audio) then it is a good shot
to emulate Universal EDID to the inputs. The matrix emulates also this EDID as
factory default.
Please note that in order to get the highest available quality, all factory EDID states
compatibility with all audio formats. If your display or A/V receiver is not capable of
accepting some compressed audio formats that your source supports, then a
factory EDID will result in no audible sound.

About the Advanced EDID Manager
The Lightware Control Software has a built-in EDID editor component, which is
accessible from both the input and output settings window. This program allows
you to create, modify and save unique EDID with any content you want. The
modified data can be uploaded to the router memory or saved to file.
EDID is a complex standard so numerous settings can be done here.
DVI sources usually select their resolution based on the preferred timing mode.
HDMI devices use short video descriptors if they are available. Short video
descriptors can be edited by clicking Video Data in the left menu. Available audio
formats can be set on the audio data page.
Note:
Most set-top-boxes and blu-ray players have audio settings menu that can override
the EDID information. Please refer to the manual of your device for further details.
