4.2.1 Embedded EDIDs Defaults
The B-100-HDMATRIX switchers contain 8 representative ‘embedded’ EDIDs that may be
assigned to Inputs. These EDIDs define groups of video and audio capabilities that are
useful for configuring sources in most systems.
When to Use Embedded EDIDs
• When audio and video characteristics of displays are known and compatible with
the an Embedded EDID
Explanation of Embedded EDIDs
Video Resolution in the Embedded EDIDs is the highest resolution a connected source
will output; for example, if the source is capable of 1080P@60, it will be required by EDIDs
1-6 to provide that resolution. However, if the source is only capable of 1080i, it will output
1080i, etc. It is assumed that any display that can accept the specified Video Resolution can
also accept all standard video resolutions less than that specified.
Color Depth is the maximum number of bits used to encode color. 24bit color depth is
8bits per color (Red, Blue, Green) and 36bit color depth is 12 bits per color. When 36bit
color is used, the bandwidth increases substantially. This will dramatically reduce the
distance between the switch and the display when using an extender.
3D indicates that the source can output 3D if it is available in the content.
Audio Format indicates the maximum number of audio channels, as well as the audio
format that the source is allowed to output. For an Embedded EDID with 7.1ch Audio
Format, the source device will output the highest audio possible based on the content.
For example, if 7.1ch is not available and 5.1ch is, the output will be 5.1ch. The same holds
true if 2ch is the only audio available from the source.
Embedded EDIDs with 2Ch will limit output of the source to 2ch regardless of the formats
available in the content.
Embedded EDIDs 7 and 8 are provided for legacy displays that can only accept resolutions
up to a maximum of 1080i / 720p. The 1080i is listed first since almost all older HD displays
can accept 1080i, but not all can accept 720p. For these two Embedded EDIDs, (7&8) the
source will output 1080i. Should 1080i not be available, the source will output 720p. There
is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of displays currently in use.
If you have such a display, you will need to use a Learned EDID (see below) from the display
to store in the Input EDID of any sources that will be routed to that display.
