EDID

(Extended Display Identification Data)

Edid is the standard compatibility signal passed between most sources and video displays. It

allows the devices to make sure they support the same resolutions and timing.

Output 2

The AT-HD-V1616M has two EDID settings: default and learning. Default saves the settings

of 1080p resolution and 2 channel audio to all outputs. The learning setting will allow for the

copying of an output’s EDID to specific inputs.

Default

Default is used for when all displays support 1080p and 2 channel audio. If a display does

not support this resolution then it will show only a black screen. (i.e. Output5 having the native

resolution of 720p would cause it to show only a black screen in default)

Input 2

Learning

Learning EDID allows for the resolution and audio formats of a display to be saved to an input

source. Once this setting is saved it will only output that resolution and audio, which will cause a

black screen to display on any output that does not support the same settings.

I.E. If you save the settings of output11 to input4, input4 will only display 1080p and Dolby

TrueHD audio, which means output5 would receive no audio or video and output2 would receive

no audio.

If the settings of output11 to input4 are saved with 3D only 3D capable devices will be able to

get picture with input4. Input4 will be saved to 3D and a separate Blu-ray or DVD player will be

needed to be used with outputs incapable of 3D. Input4 will no longer be able to show anything

but 3D and will not play in any other resolutions.

In the above diagram, output5 can be saved to all 3 inputs allowing all three outputs to use the

devices at 720p (most displays have multiple resolution capabilities. Outputs 2 & 11 however

can only be saved to inputs 2 & 4 as their native resolutions are 1080p and input 8 is incapable

of producing that resolution without a scaler.
