DIP switch operation
EDID management
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution
with the connected display. By default, the source device obtains its EDID from the first connected display.
If you have a MG-DA-618, use the DIP switch on the front panel and the 4-pin DIP switch on the rear panel
in combination to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure compatibility in video resolution.
Switch Status
Description
L.RES
The splitter reads all EDID information from all connected displays and chooses

PRESET
In this mode, the 4-pin DIP switch on the rear panel can be used to select a
predefined EDID and customize a specific EDID as need.
H.RES
The splitter reads all EDID information from all connected displays and chooses
