those displays that do not have a CEC function.
2 EDID STD/TV:
The default factory setting is on TV, leave as it is when the display
is properly. The unit will detect the 1st HDMI output’s EDID when
it obtain a 4Kx2K EDID and send out the signal accordingly to all
other output ports. If the1st HDMI output is without a 4Kx2K's EDID
the unit will detect all output's EDID and send out the signal that all
output can accept.
This device obtain the last memory function therefore, the device
will use the last output port 1's EDID when output port 1 is not
connected to a display after every power cycling or switch in
between the EDID setting.
Switch to STD to use build-in EDID if the display has problem. STD
EDID’s video at 1080p@60Hz and audio at LPCM 2CH.
3 SERVICE:
