EDID MANAGEMENT
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a digital display to describe its
capabilities to a video source (e.g. graphics card or set-top box). In a nutshell, the display provides its EDID
info to the source to send the proper signal format; this is essential for a proper handshake to occur.
When making any adjustments to EDID, turn off every component (splitter, source, and all displays), then
turn on splitter first, followed by the source, then the main display (HDMI Output 1). Finally, turn on all other
displays after ensuring the correct video signal is displaying on the main display.
The EVSP1017 is equipped with EDID management. There are two modes for EDID:
MANUAL EDID MODE
Simply select the desired EDID selection from below. The best EDID selection is the resolution, color bit, and
audio combination that works with all displays connected.
0 - EDID Full-HD (1080p@60)(1080p@30)(1080p@24)(1080i@60)(720p@60) - 24bit 2D video & 7.1ch
audio
1 - EDID Full-HD (1080p@60) - 24bit 2D video & 2ch audio
2 - EDID Full-HD (1080p@60) - 24bit 3D video & 7.1ch audio
3 - EDID Full-HD (1080p@60) - 24bit 3D video & 2ch audio
4 - EDID HD (1080p@30)(1080i@60)(720p@60) - 24bit 2D video & 7.1ch audio
5 - EDID HD (1080p@30)(1080i@60)(720@60) - 24bit 2D video & 2ch audio
6 - EDID Full-HD (1080p@60) - 24bit 2D video & 7.1ch audio
*EDID 0 is the default selection and has been tested to ensure compatibility with most source and display
combinations.
DYNAMIC EDID MODE
In this mode, the EVSP1017 will automatically generate an EDID based on the connected displays to ensure
the connected source’s audio/video format can be handled on all outputs. If any displays are connected after
the Dynamic EDID Mode is selected, all displays will blink out once to adjust the automatic EDID setting.
Keep in mind if a lower resolution display is connected, it will affect the resolution of the other displays. The
EVSP1017 can only output one common resolution, a resolution that all displays are able to handle.
To enable Dynamic EDID Mode, adjust EDID dial to 7, 8, 9.
