EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to
find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source
and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the web-GUI, or by using the following RS-232 / IP commands to specify the
required EDID:
EDIDxxDFzz
Where xx = Input: 00 refers to ALL inputs; 01, 02, 03, 04 = specific input
zz = EDID as shown below
zz = 00: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM (Default)

RS-232 Configuration
The main RS-232 port can be used for configuration and control of the Matrix from a 3rd party control platform.
The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud Rate: 57600
Data Bit: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity Bit: none
For a complete RS-232 command list, please see the HMXL42ARC-KIT User Manual - available to download from the Blustream website. For
extended RS-232 control of display equipment located near to the RX70CS receivers, use the 3-pin Phoenix connectors for each zone for serial
pass-through between the Matrix and RX70CS receiver/s.
