INTRODUCTION
The BG-UHD-88 8x8 HDMI 2.0a Matrix with Audio Extractor & ARC provides the most flexible and
cost effective solution in the market to route high definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to
7.1-channel) audio from any of the eight HDMI sources to the remote displays at the same time. BG-
UHD-88 supports HDR and the true 4K2K video! Besides, this device supports the separation of high
quality digital S/PDIF (RCA) audio from the incoming HDMI signal without losing any active audio
channels from audio bit-stream
With a maximum supported resolution of 4K@60Hz and high definition audio support, BG-
UHD-88 is well suited for use in home theater, conference room presentation systems, or
other similar setting or application.

EDID LEARNING
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 source devices and displays
may have various level of capability in playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source
device will output the lowest standards in 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.
There are TWO methods to do EDID Learning as below,
1. IR Remote Control: Please refer to the Operation Approach\ Method B: IR Remote Control (Page
6.)
2. Software Control: Please refer to the Operation Approach\ Method C: Software Control through
RS-232 port (Page 9. 10)
There are seventeen embedded default EDID as below,
1. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 2ch
2. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 7.1ch
