Front Panel Lock Mode (Executive Mode)
Front panel lock mode (executive mode) locks and disables all front panel controls (Ethernet
and USB control remain available). Putting the switchers in lock mode enhances security by
protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. If a front panel button is
pressed during lock mode, all front panel LEDs blink once.
Lock mode can be configured only via SIS commands (see
page 34). The following lock mode options are available:

EDID Minder
The UCS 303 uses EDID Minder to ensure that a source device connected to the switcher
input continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, even when the input is not selected or
the sink is not physically connected. As a result, the video source powers up properly and
outputs content when selected.
Each input has a dedicated store slot to which it is permanently assigned. Each slot
contains a default factory EDID appropriate to its supported video format. Via PCS, EDIDs
can be imported to these slots, overwriting the defaults. EDIDs in these slots are stored in
non-volatile memory.
EDIDs can be set to match the output rate or a factory setting. A variety of EDIDs are
available to be loaded via PCS and assigned to the inputs (see the UCS 303 PCS Help File
to assign EDID).
The following table lists the available EDID store slots. The default EDID is 1080p @ 60 Hz
with 2-channel (2Ch) audio.

Hot Plug Detect (HPD) — Hot plug detect (HPD) means that power is detected on a
connected sink. HPD remains high on all inputs while the unit is powered on. The HPD
drops low only while EDID is being updated.
Output slot — The output slot is automatically populated by the EDID from the
connected sink device. When HPD is detected, the EDID of the sink is automatically
stored in the output slot. The output slot exist solely for the purpose of exporting to
PCS.
EDID Memory Retention — The assigned EDID is stored to an EEPROM, which is
located at the HDMI input. The stored EDID is retained until a reset is initiated, when it
reverts back to the default EDID.
Reset— The input slots revert to their default EDID after a reset.
