MMX6x2-HT series – User's Manual
5.8.1. Sources and Destinations
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
Factory EDID list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F120).
▪
▪ Dynamic EDID list shows the display device connected to the device's outputs. The unit stores the last
display devices' EDID on either output, so there is an EDID shown even if there is no display device
attached to the output port at the moment.
▪ User memory locations (U1 – U12) can be used to save custom EDIDs.
▪ Emulated EDID list shows the currently emulated EDID for the inputs. The source column displays the
memory location that the current EDID was routed from.
The source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory on the INPUT port. Any EDID from any of the
User/Factory/Dynamic EDID lists can be copied to the user memory.
There are two types of emulation: static and dynamic.
▪ Static EDID emulation: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected. Thus, the Emulated EDID
remains the same until the user emulates another EDID.
▪ Dynamic EDID emulation: it can be enabled by selecting D1 or D2 EDID memory. The attached monitor's
EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID changes
automatically.
5.8.2. EDID Operations
Changing Emulated EDID
Step 1. Choose the desired EDID list on the source panel and select an EDID.
Step 2. Press the Emulated button on the top of the Destination panel.
Step 3. Select the desired port on the right panel (one or more ports can be selected); the EDID(s) will be
highlighted with a yellow cursor.
Step 4. Press the Transfer button to change the emulated EDID.
Learning an EDID
The process is the same as changing the emulated EDID; the only difference is the Destination panel: press
the User button. Thus, one or more EDIDs can be copied into the user memory either from the factory memory
or from a connected sink (Dynamic).
Exporting an EDID
ATTENTION! This function is working on Windows and Mac OS X operating systems and under Firefox or
Chrome web browsers only.
Source EDID can be downloaded as a file (*.bin, *.dat or *.edid) to the computer.
Step 1. Select the desired EDID from the Source panel (highlighted with a yellow cursor).
Step 2. Press the Export button to open the dialog box and save the file to the computer.
