EDID MANAGEMENT

External EDID Management
The
8x8 Matrix for HDMI
features EDID Management. Before the source can send video
or audio signals, the source device reads the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
from the output devices connected to the Splitter. The EDID contains information about
what type of audio/video data that the source can send to each output device.
The
8x8 Matrix for HDMI
routes multiple sources to multiple output devices. This involves
reading EDID data from more than one device. Management of the EDID data is important
to maintain compatibility between all devices.
The following EDID features are copied from Output A:
•
Supported Resolutions
•
3D Support
•
Audio Features
Display Connections:
•
If a device is not connected to Output A, then no EDID changes are made, meaning
that the previous EDID information will be used. This state will be in effect until a
display is connected to Output A and the Matrix is power-cycled.
•
EDID is built from Output A to the Input. The audio block will be copied from Output A.
EDID-copying is performed only when the Matrix is reset or power-cycled.
