4.5.2 EDID configuration panel
Your selections in the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) configuration panel of the
DP580 indicate to an upstream device (such as a Blu-ray player) the Dolby codecs and the
number of channels that a downstream receiver is capable of processing.
Use the panel to configure settings for EDID information provided to those devices that use an
HDMI connection. You can select these options:
Number of Channels
Two-, six-, or eight-channel decoding. The DP580 can verify that the upstream source device
is transmitting the number of channels that the downstream receiver has indicated in its
EDID information. The actual number of decoded channels is determined by your speaker
configuration setting.
Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD
The DP580 can verify whether your upstream device is transmitting bitstreams in the Dolby
codecs that the downstream receiver has indicated in its EDID information.
Note: The DP580 can decode any bitstream encoded in these Dolby codecs over HDMI,
as determined by the decoder configuration.
Dolby Atmos
Selecting this option indicates to the upstream device that the downstream receiver is
capable of receiving Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos content. The DP580 can verify
whether the source device is transmitting Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos content.
Note: To ensure Dolby Atmos decoding over HDMI, you must select Dolby Atmos in the
EDID configuration panel, as well as the Dolby Atmos Decode flag in the Decoder
Configuration panel of the Decoder Configuration tab.
Each time you make or change a selection or group of selections in this panel, you must click
Apply for your configuration to take effect.
