EDID Management
The matrix has two ways to read the EDID. The factory default setting is
Automatic Read Mode.
1. Automatic Read Mode
HDMX0808S matrix can automatically read EDID. When the matrix output
port is connected to the display devices, the matrix will automatically read
the Sinks EDID information, and then analyse all the Sinks EDID
information, combine a most suitable EDID and send it to the Inputs. As
long as the output ports has a plug-in and plug-out actions, the matrix will
re-analyse and re-combine the EDID based on the latest EDID information.
2. Manually Read EDID
Long press the CTRL button and the LCD screen displays the current EDID
mode of the Matrix. As shown below: ALL Input Channels select the First
Mode: Automatic Read Mode.
Figure 8. EDID Automatic Read Mode

Long press the CTRL button again, the Matrix enters the EDID SET mode.
As shown below: defaulted as Automatic Read Mode (Mix Mode).
Figure 9. EDID Automatic Read Mode
When the matrix enters the EDID SET mode, The EDID 1 to EDID 7
corresponds to 7 different EDID modes respectively, and can be selected
by the Input buttons. PORT numbers corresponds to the Input Port that
needs to set, and can be selected by the Output buttons. After selecting
EDID mode and PORT, press ENTER button to confirm the selection.
Below are 7 types of EDID modes:
1Mix Mode
Press the Input button 1 to select Mix Mode (Automatic Read EDID
Mode). As shown below:
Figure 10. EDID 1 Mix Mode
2Copy Mode
Press the Input button 2 to select Copy Mode. In this mode, by
default, the matrix reads the EDID information of the Sink connected
to a single Output Channel in a sequence from Port 1 to Port 8 till it
detects the first valid EDID information, and send it to the Inputs. As
shown below:

Figure 11. EDID 2 Copy Mode
3Rx-PC Mode
Press the Input button 3 to select Rx ‐PC Mode. In this mode, the
matrix EDID information is controlled by host PC software. As shown
below:
Figure 12. EDID 3 Rx-PC Mode
44K Mode
Press the Input button 4 to select 4K Mode. As shown below:

Each Input Channel Port can choose the same or different EDID Mode.
Just select the Input buttons to set it up. If all Input Channel Ports need to
be set up the same EDID Mode, then select the ALL button in the matrix
output button area. As shown below:

RS232 Control
The matrix provides two serial ports：RS‐232 IN and RS‐232 OUT (See Figure
18). RS232 IN port connects with PC, while RS232 Out port connects to other
devices that require communication to PC through RS232 protocols. This
matrix can cascade with multiple devices, signal input through RS ‐232 IN,
output through RS‐232 OUT to other devices, so that all the cascade devices
can be controlled by the same Host PC or Central Control, which saves extra
serial ports.
