output 720p.
Note: There is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of older displays that may still be in use. It
will be necessary to use a Learned EDID from the display to store in the Input EDID of any sources that will be routed
to that display if 720p is not supported. See Section 8.5. EDID Learning on page 20 for directions to set a learned
EDID.
