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 can 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.
How to operate the HDMI Matrix?
1. How to select Output and Input Port?
Q. OUTPUT-X select INPUT-Y:
A. Press OUTPUT-X (X means 1 to 8 of outputs, including ALL)
Press INPUT-Y (Y means 1 to 8 of inputs)
2. How to change INPUT-Y EDID
Q. Fixed EDID to INPUT-Y/ALL:
A. Press MENU button to enter EDID set mode.

use HDMI inputs. Note that high-speed HDMI cables are recommended for the distances that are
required for each connection.
3. For power, plug in the source first, followed by the Matrix Selector Switcher (power supply
included), followed by each output connected.
4. Power on each device in the same sequence.
At this point each display connected should display the assigned source (input 1 at default when
powered on initially), scroll through each of the sources on each display to ensure everything is in
working order. Use included IR remote to test switching function. If a display is having difficulty
receiving signal, access the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is
displayed). A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher.
