EDID. What is it and what is it used for?
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog ) will require information from aconnecte ddevice/display to know what resolutions and features are available. The source can then cater its output to send only resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/display. This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and a source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected device/display. Likewise, the source can only output one resolution to a connected device/display.
Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix?
The Matrix is complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require one EDID to read. EDID management is carefully handled by HDMI Matrix to provide a single EDID for each source to read
What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix?
Firstly, it is important to note that each source device can only output one video/audio signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple devices/displays are used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to use devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions/features. This will ensure that the single video/audio signal produced by the source device is accepted by all of the connected output devices/displays. The user has the option, through the EDID management window, to choose how the unit will manage the EDID from multiple HDMI devices/displays. Therefore the user has some control over the resolutions/features that the source devices will output. The HDMI Matrix has a multiple EDID management modes that will control how the EDID information from multiple devices/displays are combined, ignored, and routed.
5.2 Rear Panel
- PC CONTROL TCP/IP: This port is the link for TCP/IP control and connects to an active Ethernet link by an RJ-45 cable. RS232: Connect toa PC or control system by D-Sub 9-pin cable for the transmission of RS-232 commands.
- HDMI INPUT: Connect to the HDMI sources device suchasa DVD player or a Set-top Box by HDMI cable.
- AUDIO OUPUT: The coaxial and L/R audio output to audio amplifiers or speakers.
- HDMI OUTPUT: Connect to HDMI equipped TVs or monitors.
- IR EXT: If the front IR sensor of unit is obstructed or the unit is installed in a closed area out of infrared line of sight, the IR RX receiver included can be inserted into the IR EXT port at the rear to extend the IR sensor range and enable local control of the matrix.
- DC POWER INPUT: Connect to 12V/2.5A DC power adapter.
Remote Control
- Press this button to power on the matrix or set it to standby mode.
- Press these buttons to select output A, B, C, D for input 1, 2, 3, 4 ports.
Basic Installation Diagram
- Connect up to 4 sources such as a Blue-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc. to each HDMI input port on the unit. Do not hot plug! Insert and extract cables carefully with the power switch off. Connecting and disconnecting while the unit is powered can result in damage to circuitry.
- Connect each HDMI output to high-definition displays such as a HDTV or HD projector that has HDMI input. Note that high- speed HDMI cables are recommended for the distances that are required for each connection.
- Plug in IR receiver to the port of the IR EXT on rear unit if need.
- Plug in DC power adapter firstly, followed by each display device and source device.
