light up in green when the power is on and in red when put it into standby mode.
3 EDID Button and LED: Press this button to select external or standard EDID. When
the LED illuminate it represent the external EDID is selected. External EDID is base on
output A to inputs 1 and output B to input 2 and so on... For example, when all outputs
select input 1, the source will based on output A's highest EDID and send out the signal
corresponsively. Under this same scenario, if only output A supports 4K2K then other
outputs will have no image. Select standard EDID which supports 720p/2CH to allows
all outputs with image display.
4 OUTPUT A~D Buttons and LEDs: Press the 'A', 'B', 'C' or 'D' button to select the
