• EDID contains the A/V capabilities of a display device in regards to video resolutions

and audio formats supported. This information is used by the source device to

determine the format of the A/V signal on the outputs. The GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix

for HDMI 4K x 2K incorporates advanced EDID management to ensure compatibility

with all sources and display devices.

• The GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K can detect the presence of Deep

Color (12-bit signal) automatically and will disable Deep Color EDID features across

all other outputs if any connected device or display is not capable of processing Deep

Color. This automatic behavior ensures compatibility among all output devices in a

mixed-device environment. This feature cannot be disabled.

• When powering the GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K or if the EDID mode is

changed, the matrix will undergo a momentary initialization sequence. This is normal

operation and may take a few seconds.

• The best way to operate and congure this unit is to use the built-in Web interface,

which can be accessed by entering the IP address of the matrix into the address bar of

any Web browser. See the section RS-232 and IP Conguration for more information

about this feature.
