3.9. EDID and DIP Switch Settings
Every digital display has extended display identification data (EDID) that describes its
capabilities to a video source. This enables the source to know which type of display is
connected to it, and to send compatible signals to that display.
The EDID settings of any display can be relayed to any source by means of a DIP
switch located on the back panel of the Matrix Switch (Figure 12). The DIP switch has
three contacts (1, 2, 3, 4), each of which can either be set up (OFF) or down (ON).

Various DIP switch settings enable the user to relay any display’s EDID to any source.
Table 5 shows 8 pre-defined DIP switch settings and the function of each.
