About EDID
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is
data generated from each display in the system to
communicate the capabilities of the device (720p, 2ch
Audio, 1080p, 7.1ch Audio).
For communication between devices to be made, and
successful connection achieved, devices must both
request and send the required information. For example,
a display will communicate 1080p capability with 2ch
audio, which the source device will accept and output the
correct format for the display.
Problems can arise when different types of devices such
as displays, sources and amplifiers are used within a
system, making communication between them that much
more challenging and sometimes resulting in compatibility
issues.
In such instances EDID needs to be streamlined or guided
for all devices to work together, with a matrix perfectly
placed to handle this process as communication between
display and source is the most important in the system.
The effective control and management of EDID is essential
for the success of any integration, with this being
achieved in most cases using the default setting on the
matrix itself.
Before EDID Adjustment
Communication between display, matrix and source
devices should be automatically negotiated with the
EDID DIP switch set to the default Normal Output (OFF)
position. However, should device communication or
compatibility issues be encountered during installation,
please refer to the EDID DIP settings below.
If the maximum capabilities of the display are known, for
example 1080p with 7.1ch audio, the DIP switch setting
can be adjusted manually for matching EDID to be sent to
the matrix.
If the specification of the display is not known, simply
copy the EDID from the display to matrix through the
HDMI connection by setting all switches to the EDID Copy
(ON) position and power cycling the matrix for the DIP
setting to become active.

DIP Switch Down denotes ON / DIP Switch
UP denotes OFF. Matrix must be restarted for
changes to DIP switch to take effect.
