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!
