Set EDID
When a video source is connected to a display, the display’s EDID is communicated to
the video source. The display’s EDID is comprised of it’s video and audio capabilities.
Displays sharing their EDID ensures optimal performance, by enabling the source to
automatically align it’s video and audio settings to your display. Improper EDID can
cause issues with your display.
As this switch enables you to connect two displays (one local, one remote) to your
video sources, it’s possible that each display will have a variance of audio and video
capabilities.
To ensure optimal performance across both displays, this HDBaseT switch features
EDID emulation and EDID copy. These features enable you choose which settings will
best harmonize across both of your displays, to ensure optimal performance. Follow
the below steps to emulate and/or copy EDID audio and video.
1. Determine whether your ideal setup will be based on emulating 1080p video and
2-channel audio across both displays, or sharing one of the displays video and/or
audio capabilities across each attached display.
Note: You can copy EDID from either your local or remote display. However, you
cannot copy audio from one and video from the other.
2. Set the Auto Inventory EDID switch to your desired setting based on your
determination in step 1.
The Auto Inventory EDID switch lets you set whether you emulate (Auto) or copy
(Inventory) your EDID settings.
Review the table below to determine what the switch should be set to.
Position Video Audio EDID Status
1Emulate (1080p) Emulate (2-CH) Emulates video and audio
2Emulate (1080p) Copy Emulates video and copies audio
3Copy Emulate (2-CH) Copies video and emulates audio
4Copy Copy Copies video and audio
3. If you intend to copy EDID from your remote display, press and hold the EDID
copy button for three seconds until the Remote LED ashes GREEN.
If you intend to copy EDID from your local display, press and hold the EDID copy
button for six seconds until the Local LED ashes Green.
