EDID MANAGEMENT
EDID Mode Selection
• EXTERNAL MODE:
To use this mode, set the EDID Mode Switch on the front panel to the EXT
position. In External EDID mode, the Matrix retrieves EDID data directly from
each connected A/V display device. The EDID data is then compiled and a
new EDID is created based on the highest-supported video resolution and
audio capabilities common to all displays. The new EDID is sent back to the
source device.
If insuffi cient EDID data is available from external display devices or EDID-
related problems are encountered, Internal EDID Mode should be used to
provide a single compatible EDID for all connected devices.
• INTERNAL MODE:
Internal EDID mode uses a preset EDID that is stored in the GefenToolBox
4x4 Matrix with FST from the factory. To use this mode, set the EDID Mode
Switch on the front panel to the INT position. All resolutions and audio
formats specifi ed in this EDID will be passed to the source device. Many
common resolutions and audio formats are supported. For a complete listing
of the resolutions and audio formats listed in this EDID please see page 18.
NOTE: All other HDMI capable devices/displays connected to the output
ports MUST be compatible with at least one resolution/audio format specifi ed
in this EDID. It is recommended to set, on the source device, a common
resolution and audio format shared by all attached devices/displays. This is
to ensure a compatible signal is outputted to all connected devices/displays.
