EDID. What is it and what is it used for?
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require
information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions and features
are available. The source can then cater its output to send only resolutions and features
that are compatible with the attached device/display. This information is called EDID
(Extended Display Information Data)
and a source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected
device/display. Likewise, the source an only output one resolution for use by a
connected device/display.

Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix ?
The Matrix is complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between multiple
inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require one EDID to read. EDID
management is carefully handled by HDMI Matrix to provide a single EDID for each
source to read.
What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix ?
First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one video/audio
signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple devices/displays are
used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to use devices/displays that have
similar or compatible resolutions/features. This will ensure that the single video/audio
signal produced by the source device is accepted by all of the connected output
devices/displays.The user has the option, through the EDID management window, to
choose how the unit will manage the EDID from multiple HDMI devices/displays.
Therefore the user has some control over the resolutions/features that the source
devices will output. The HDMI Matrix for has a multiple EDID management modes that
will control how the EDID information from multiple devices/displays are combined,
ignored, and routed.

7. IR Control system
At Matrix end: Insert the 3.5mm jacks of the IR TX Emitters included with the unit into
the IR TX Emitter ports at the rear of the matrix according to input. The IR signal is
added to the HDMI of the input device so, for example, if the user is watching Blu-ray on
input 1, the IR signal will be directed through the IR TX1 socket to control the device.
As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input port, if the user is unable to
establish IR control of the device, care should be taken to check firstly, that the IR
emitter and HDMI input ports match (Input 1-TX1, Input2-TX2 etc.) with plugs secured
in correct ports, and secondly, that the IR TX emitter sensors are firmly attached directly
to the front of inputs and covering infrared sensor windows of the source devices.Some
later adjustment may be needed to the location of the sensor to achieve the best
performance results - sometimes moving the sensor to different areas on the source can
improve IR performance.
NOTE: Infrared receiving areas of devices can be located by shining a flashlight onto the
front of the device –the sensor should be able to be seen through the plastic as a small,
round object inside.Insert 3.5mm jacks of IR RX receivers into RX ports, making sure
the receivers themselves are placed in clear view to receive an infrared signal from the
remote handset used to control the display outputs.
