  • Page 16 Dithering output is used to make color look better than its original color depth. This presents difficulty for Video Compression to maintain low bandwidth. Currently, Dithering Output is only required with AMD graphic cards. HDMX7 provides Anti-dithering for 1 bit, 2 bit, or off. Don’t enable this mode unless it is specifically required.
  • Page 17 Automatically Copy EDID from this Receiver Video Output HDMX7 features EDID Management. Before the source can send video and audio data, the source device connected to each Tx unit reads the EDID for the display connected to each Rx unit. The EDID contains information about what type of audio and video data can be accepted from the source.
  • Page 18 This enables support for multi-channel audio and 3D functions from the device connected to the Rx unit. If enabled by the HDMX7 web interface, from the device connected to the Rx unit the EDID can be copied automatically every time the video channel is switched.
  • Page 19 USB Extending and Controls On the Rx unit, there are three USB 2.0 ports, and one USB 1.1 port, which should be used for low- speed USB devices such as a keyboard. USB 1.1 for HID In Extender mode Only a single Rx unit will be able to communicate with a Tx unit. However, multiple USB devices can be connected to Rx unit.
