Operation of the EDID management (For AVG HDMI/DVI matrix switcher, NOT including the 4x4 model) EDID communication introduction MHD/MDV matrix switcher are built in the EDID data inside, which can recognize most of the displays and video source. When the display or video source are connected, the EDID communication will start automatically.
Every time, you change the EDID data, all the displays will be blank for 3 seconds. The RS232 port will send out the feedback code. EDID management RS232 command The Operation of Front Panel Buttons Solution (ASCII, 9600bps. 8N1) Factory Default EDIDMInit.

If there is a available display connected to output 1, the matrix switcher will copy the EDID data from this display. If the output 1 is not connected or display not available, the matrix switcher will go to the output2 automatically, to find the available data.
[Y] is the input channel of matrix switcher Example If you send the “EDIDM2B1.” to the matrix switcher, you will copy the EDID data of output2 to the input1. If the second output is connected Sharp LCD, the input 1 is connected IBM PC. It means the Sharp LCD and IBM PC are directly EDID communication.
Operation of the Control Panel 7.1 Front Panel Description “AV” AV synchronal button: To transfer video and audio signal synchronously by the switcher Example: To transfer both the video and the audio signals from input channel No.3 to output channel No.4. Operation: Press buttons in this order “AV”,“3”,, “4””.
4, Press the button for the second output channel number “4” Then, switching OK ! audio/video switching from “1” to “3” and “4” 8. Usage of the Remote Controller With the infrared remote controller, the matrix switcher could be control remotely. Because the function buttons on the remote controller are the same with the ones on the front control panel, the remote controller shares the same control operation and command format with the control panel.
9. Communication Protocol and Command Codes With this command system, the RS232 software is able to control and operate the MRG Matrix with remotely. Communication protocol: Baud rate: 9600 Data bit: 8 Stop bit: 1 Parity bit: none Command Command Functions Types Codes...
