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/s. By pre-determining
the video resolution and audio format of the source and display devices, you can reduce the time needed for EDID
hand shaking thus making power cycles quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of the EDID settings for the input can be achieved either via the EDID DIP switches on the rear of the
splitter, or by using the micro-USB connector and Blustream EDID API commands.

Smart Scale DIP Switches
Smart Scale Control
The SP14CS has a Smart Scale feature on each output, allowing a display only capable of supporting lower video
resolutions (4K 60Hz 4:2:0, or 1080p) to receive down-scaled 4K video content (up to 4K 60Hz 4:4:4), while still showing
the maximum original 4K UHD resolution on other outputs.
The SP14CS default mode is AUTO (Smart Scale DIP switches pointing UP), this mode will automatically negotiate the
best output video resolution suitable for the connected display. If the Scaler mode is set to bypass, the video output
will match the source input signal.
Should the auto-negotiation not produce the desired result, the SP14CS has the ability to force the down-scaler to
output 1080p on individual outputs - this replaces the BYPASS scaling option. To change the scaling mode either
change the mode via API command, or aer power cycle complete the following sequence of changes to Smart Scale
DIP switch ‘1’ (the le switch):
0000 > 1000 > 0000 > 1000 > 0000 > 1000 > 0000
On completion of the sequence above, the input LED’s will flash. Select the outputs that need to be forced to 1080p
by setting the Smart Scale DIP switch/es to ‘DOWN’. The video output will now be fixed to 1080p. To revert this setting,
simply put the DIP switch back to the UP position.
