Page 18: Edid Management
Why is EDID so important with the 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 1.3? The Gefen ToolBox 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 1.3 uses complex technology that routes multiple input signals to multiple outputs. The source devices will require EDID to read. Multiple devices/displays can be connected to the input and output ports on the Matrix, each with their own EDID. -
Page 19: Edid Mode Selection
EDID MANAGEMENT EDID Mode Selection • ExTERNAL MODE: To use this mode, set the EDID Mode Switch on the front panel to the ExT position. In External EDID mode, the Matrix retrieves EDID data directly from each connected A/V display device. The EDID data is then compiled and a new EDID is created based on the highest-supported video resolution and audio capabilities common to all displays. -
