With QuickSync, the result is virtually instantaneous
switching, completely frameless with modern screens,
indistinguishable from changing channels via the TV tuner,
thus maximizing real advantages of matrix distribution and
control for the end user.
NOTE
Depending on the settings of the incoming
source content a delay may still exist where
resolution between screen and source requires
negotiation, but EDID is still communicated as
normal when this the QuickSync feature is enabled.
This feature is NOT enabled out of the box and must be
manually activated within the COM CTL software. see
page 15.
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 difficult;
sometimes resulting in connection problems.
In such instances EDID needs to be streamlined or
guided for all devices to work together, with matrices
and receivers 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 and receivers.
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 3D with 2ch stereo audio, the DIP switch
setting should 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
or Force Output (ON) positions and power cycling the
matrix for the DIP setting to become active.
