Remote Control
1.
STANDBY BUTTON: Press the button to put the
matrix/extender into standby mode or to turn it on.
2.
SELECTION BUTTONS: Four sets of six buttons for
selecting which inputs are assigned to each of the
four outputs. For direct selection, press the number
corresponding to the desired input in the desired
output section. You can also use the two arrow
buttons to cycle to the next or previous input.
EDID MANAGEMENT
Prior to installing the matrix/extender, you need to set the EDID DIP switches to control
the EDID information that will be sent to your source devices. EDID is an acronym for
Extended Display Identification Data, which is the method by which the display reports its
maximum resolution and audio capabilities to the source device, so that it can output the
proper resolution and audio type. If the source device outputs a resolution too high for the
display, the display will be blank. Similarly, if it tries to output too many audio channels,
you will only hear part of the audio signal.
Normally, the source device is connected directly to the display and this operation takes
place automatically without you even noticing it. However, since this matrix allows
connection of up to eight displays, each of which may have different capabilities, the
sources have no way of knowing which resolution and audio settings to use. The EDID DIP
switches solve this dilemma by providing each source with a fixed capability, so it always
know which resolution and audio types to output.
Perform the following steps to set the EDID switches on the matrix/extender, prior to
installing the system.
