PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Front Panel
1. EDID: The EDID switch determines how the system determines the EDID® settings to send to the source devices.
When placed in the TV position, the system reads the capabilities of the display connected to Output 1 and sends that
data to the source devices. When placed in the STD position, the system sends the default EDID setting of
1080p@60Hz video with 2-channel LPCM audio.
2. Output 1-4: Each LED illuminates red when there is a valid connection to an active HDMI display.
3. Input 1-2: These LEDs illuminate blue when there is a valid connection to an HDMI source and the input is selected.
The LEDs illuminate red when there is a valid connection, but the input has not been selected.
4. Switch: Press the Switch button to toggle between the two inputs.
