Note: Source is only able to output one video resolution and one audio format.
Note: The default EDID for each input is always 1080p with 2 channel stereo audio, since this format is accepted by most displays with no issues.
ThefollowingsectionsexplainconfiguringEDIDsviatheincludedIRRemote.BeforeconfiguringtheEDID,besuretorefertothesourceanddisplaymanualsforavailablefeaturesandresolutionsforeachdevice.Formoreinformationaboutusingtheincludedremote,seeSection11.1IRRemoteonpage21.

What is EDID? EDID, or Extended Display Identification Data, is a stream of information sent from a display to a source when the two devices are connected to tell the source what video and audio formats the display can use. This prevents sources from outputting media that won’t work with the display.
CheckeachsourceandconfirmthattheaudioformatandvideoresolutionaresetsothattheywillchangebasedontheEDID.Normallythissettingiscalled“Auto”orsimilar.
Note: EDID setup is not required if the source supports setting one fixed video resolution and audio format.
ItisrecommendedthatConsumerElectronicsControl(CEC)beturnedOFFinalldisplayswhenusingtheB-500-MTRX-230-8X8.Thiswillprovideforpropercommunicationofvideo/audiosignalsandallowEDIDstofunctionattheiroptimumperformance.Refertothedisplay’smanualforinformationonhowtoturnthisfunctionOFF.

Note: Auto EDID sets audio to 2ch stereo for all inputs regardless of the capability of the connected displays. If multi-channel audio is desired, embedded EDIDs or Learned EDIDs will need to be used.

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.
