6.10.2. Advanced EDID Management
Factory Preset EDIDs
The factory EDIDs (F1-F144) are factory preprogrammed and cannot be modified. These are the most
common signal formats. They are specially provided to force the graphic cards to output only the exact pixel
resolution and refresh rate.
Universal EDID allows multiple signal formats including all common VESA defined resolutions. The use of
universal EDID is recommended for fast and easy system setup.
Sources and Destinations
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪ Factory EDID list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F144).
▪ Dynamic EDID list shows the sink connected to the device's outputs (D). 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 – U64) can be used to save custom EDIDs.
▪ Emulated EDID list shows the currently emulated EDID for the inputs (E). 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 D 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.

6.10.3. Centralized Firmware Upgrade
The firmware update of the connected endpoint devices can be made and supervised by the MMU. You just
need to select the upgradeable devices and one click only for the procedure starting. This method is the
most easiest way to keep your UBEX matrix up to date and get the latest features.

ATTENTION! The centralized firmware upgrade feature is available from MMU firmware v1.1.0 and endpoint
firmware v1.3.1.
See the details about this feature in the Endpoint Upgrade - Centralized Firmware Upgrade
6.11. Software Control Modes
User has more possibilities to control the device besides the front panel LCD screen. The following list
contains the software control modes:
▪ Lightware Device Controller (LDC) - you can connect to the UBEX matrix via our control software using
Ethernet interface and control or configure the matrix as you wish. For the details see the
Control - Lightware Device Controller
▪ Built-in website of the MMU - you can connect to the UBEX matrix via a web browser application using
Ethernet interface and control or configure the matrix as you wish. For the details see the
Control - Built-in Web chapter.
▪ LW3 protocol commands: you can configure the matrix by using the full-range command set of LW3
protocol. For more details see the Programmer's Reference
section.
