10. 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 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 com-
monly 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 is a method to do EDID Learning as below,
Software Control: Please refer to the Operation Approach\ Software Control
There are six embedded default EDIDs as below,
1. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 2ch
2. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 7.1ch
3. HD(1080i@60) (720p@60)-24bit 2D & 2ch
4. HD(1080i@60) (720p@60)-24bit 2D & 7.1ch
5. Full-HD(1080p@60)-30bit 2D & 2ch
