EDID management
The Quantum Ultra EDID Minder manages the EDID for all the inputs. By default, input
EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz. In addition, EDID can be manually assigned to the sources
via VCS. By maintaining continuous EDID communication with all sources, EDID Minder
ensures that all sources power up properly and maintain their video outputs, whether or
not they are actively displayed on Quantum Ultra outputs.
Each input on the HDMI input cards has the option to set the EDID to be provided to the
connected source device. The preferred resolution found in custom EDID files is parsed
and the resolution and refresh rate are displayed in VCS.
NOTE: EDID for resolutions with pixel clocks above 165 MHz are available only if "up
to 300 MHz" pixel clock support has been enabled on inputs 2 and 4 (see the VCS
program help file for information on setting the resolution support).
You can set the EDID for each of the inputs in your Quantum Ultra chassis using VCS.
The software lets you view the current EDID that has been set for each input. If no project
file has been saved on the Quantum Ultra, the default EDID setting of 1080p @ 60 Hz
is applied (see the VCS help file, provided with the software, for details on selecting and
monitoring EDID).

Outputs

The Quantum Ultra HDMI output cards provide the final output to a display device. They
integrate all inputs to be displayed in a layout that you define using the control software
(see the VCS Help File for information on using the program to set up displays). They also
provide up-scaling of sources.
The HDMI output cards are HDCP-compliant when used with HDMI input cards and
HDCP-compliant displays.
• Outputs 1 and 3 — These two outputs generate resolutions with pixel clocks up
to 165 MHz, which provides support for resolutions 2048x1200 and 1920x1200 at
60 Hz.
Outputs 2 and 4 — These two outputs generate resolutions with pixel clocks up to
•
300 MHz, which provides support for 4K at 30 Hz and 2560x1600 at 60 Hz.
A single channel greater than 165 MHz and two channels that are less than 165 MHz is a
possible configuration. In the example in figure 15, output 2 is configured to support up to
4K at 30 Hz, and outputs 3 and 4 are configured to support up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz.
