Procedures for Selecting an Resolution and Frame Rate – HDMI and HDBaseT
4.2.2
The procedures below describe how to select the resolution for HDMI and HDBaseT outputs.
Note: You can create your own custom formats using the Quantum Data Format Editor. These procedures are
described in Creating and Using Custom Formats, EDIDs and
When you make a physical connection to an HDTV or monitor, a hot plug event will occur. There are two
modes the 780C can be set in when testing HDMI or HDBaseT sink devices that determine how the 780C
responds to this hot plug event: 1) Hot plug formats On; 2) Hot plug formats Off.
When hot plug formats are On and a hot plug event occurs, the 780C will read the EDID of the display device
connected to its output port. It will then automatically configure the list available signal types (resolutions and
frame rates) to only those supported by the HDMI or HDBaseT sink device. The 780C will also be configured to
output the signal indicated in the EDID as the "preferred" timing. The preferred timing is highlighted in green
following a hot plug event.
When hot plug formats are Off, the 780C will display all viable HDMI or HDBaseT formats for the interface
whether they are supported by the display or not.
1. Select the Preferences from the 780C top level menu. Navigate to the second page by touch selecting the
