8.2 ADVANCED EDID CONFIGURATION

8.2.1 Embedded EDIDs Defaults

The B-300-HDMATRIX switchers contain 8 representative 'embedded' EDIDs that may be assigned to Inputs.
These EDIDs define groups of video and audio capabilities that are useful for configuring sources in most systems.
When to use Embedded EDIDs
• 2ch audio is required for a particular display
• Lower video resolution is required for a particular display

Explanation of Embedded EDIDs
Video Resolution in the Embedded EDIDs is the highest resolution a connected source will output. If the
source is capable of 1080P@60, it will be required by EDIDs 1-6 to provide that resolution. However, if the source
is only capable of 1080i, it will output 1080i etc. It is assumed that any display that can accept the specified
video resolution can also accept all standard video resolutions less than that specified.
Color Depth is the maximum number of bits used to encode color. 24bit color depth is 8bits per color (Red, Blue,
Green) and 36bit color depth is 12 bits per color. When 36bit color is used, the bandwidth increases substantially.
This will dramatically reduce the distance between the switch and the display when using an extender.
3D indicates that the source can output 3D if it is available in the content.
Audio Format indicates the maximum number of audio channels as well as the audio format that the source is
allowed to output. For an Embedded EDID with 7.1ch Audio Format, the source device will output the highest
audio possible based on the content. For example, if 7.1ch is not available and 5.1ch is, the output will be 5.1ch.
The same holds true if 2ch is the only audio available from the source. Embedded EDIDs with 2Ch will limit
output of the source to 2ch regardless of the formats available in the content.
Embedded EDIDs 7 and 8 are provided for legacy displays that can only accept resolutions up to a maximum of
1080i / 720p. The 1080i is listed first since almost all older HD displays can accept 1080i but not all can accept
720p. For these two Embedded EDIDs, (7&8) the source will output 1080i. Should 1080i not be available, the
source will output 720p. There is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of displays
currently in use. If you have such a display, you will need to use a Learned EDID from the display to store in the
Input EDID of any sources that will be routed to that display.
