6.0 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 source devices and displays may have various level of
capability in playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source
device will output the lowest standards in audio format and video resolutions to
be commonly acceptable among all HDMI displays. For Example, 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 are Three methods to do EDID Learning:
1. IR Remote Control: Please refer to the section entitled Operation
Controls and Functions, IR Remote Functionality.
2. Software Control: Please refer to the section entitled MX-Tools, EDID
Management Tab.
3. Front panel control: Please refer to the section entitled Operation
Controls and Functions, Routing.
This is a list of the available default EDID’s:
1. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 2ch
