7.2. Display Setup
It is recommended that Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) be turned OFF in all displays when using the
B-520-MTRX-230-8x8 / B-520-MTRX-230-6x4+2 . This will provide for proper communication of video/audio
signals and allow EDIDs to function at their optimum performance. Refer to the display's manual for information
on how to turn this function OFF.
7.3. Auto EDID Configuration
The quickest and easiest method for configuration is to use Auto EDID. When this mode is used the matrix
switcher looks at the EDID from each of the connected displays. It uses the highest common video resolution to
create a new EDID and saves that EDID in all of the inputs.
Note: Auto EDID sets audio to 2ch stereo for all inputs regardless of the capability of the connected displays. If
multi-channel audio is desired, embedded EDIDs or Learned EDIDs will need to be used.
When to use Auto EDID
•
All sources will be available on all displays.
•
As a first step to configuration following up with advanced methods for particular displays and dedicated sources.
•
For advanced EDID configuration when using a legacy display and/or dedicated sources, use embedded EDIDs
or learning as described in the following sections.
7.3.1. How to Configure Auto EDID
To set up Auto EDID configuration, first make sure that all displays are powered on and connected to the matrix
switcher. Then, press the following remote buttons in this order. Be sure to press each button within 10 seconds of
the previous button-press to prevent the command from resetting.

7.4. Embedded EDID Configuration
In addition to the automatic configuration method, EDIDs in the
B-520-MTRX-230-8x8 / B-520-MTRX-230-6x4+2 can be set to inputs manually by selecting an EDID from the
embedded list (default EDIDs programmed into the matrix switcher).
The matrix switcher contains eight 'embedded' EDIDs that may be assigned to inputs. These EDIDs define groups
of video and audio capabilities that are useful for configuring sources in most systems.
