EDID LEARNING The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever you encounter any display on the HDMI output port that cannot play audio and video properly. 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.
Page 22
The quality of output video is not good enough, how can I do? Please adjust the 8-level equalization on the receiver units. The HDMI signal level varies from 0 (strongest) to 7 (weakest) for respective transmission length from longest possible range to short distance.
Page 23
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 CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz LAN cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B. 3.
