Note3: The splitter will mix the EDID data of all HDMI sinks. And forward this mixed EDID to the HDMI source device. The thought
of EDID mixing is to enable all the connected sink device can have video and audio they can output. For example, One
TV is 1080P, stereo, another is 1080i, 5.1 audio. The mixed EDID will be 1080i, stereo audio
Note4: Copy the EDID data to the input port. It will copy the EDID data from the rst detected output port
