EDID LEARNING The EDID learning function is to resolve audio and video playing issues at HDMI output port. Because the HDMI source devices and displays may have various level of capability in playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source device will output the lowest standards in audio format and video resolutions to be commonly acceptable among all HDMI displays.
Can I use any kind of LAN cable? Please check the NOTICE section for more information about how to pick up a suitable cable. Can every TV work with the HDMI matrix? Basically, the answer is YES. But if your TV can not support 1080p, please refer the EDID LEARNING section to learn EDID from your TV.
NOTICE 1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI/HDMI EDID information. 2. All HDMI over Cat.X transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz LAN cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B. 3.
