the resolution. When setting a resolution the coordinates of the output will also be
changed. An input source (HDMI or DisplayPort) can also be selected or lock/unlock
the device.
*Note that when you select the Synchronize function, all windows need to be set to
the same resolution, otherwise the output will be abnormal.
*If you lock the device, only the factory reset function will work.

When selecting the 3x1 or 4x1 modes the picture in the right part of the control interface will
show a red circle. You can slide this white circle to resize the output screen. In addition, you
also can input the number to adjust the coordinates.
Note: 4K2K60 (YUV 4:4:4) can only be displayed in an 2x2 layout (1080p60 for each output)

3. EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever you encounter any display on the
HDMI output port that cannot play audio and video properly. Because the HDMI sources
and displays may have various level of capability in playing audio and video, the general
principle is that the source will output the lowest standards in terms of audio format and
video resolutions to be commonly acceptable among all HDMI displays. In this case, a 720p
stereo HDMI signal output would be probably the safest choice. Nevertheless, the user can
force the matrix to learn the EDID of the lowest capable HDMI display among others to
make sure all displays are capable to play the HDMI signals normally.
●Select Default EDID (1-5 default EDID).
