EDID

The AT-RON-442 and AT-RON-444 provide two EDID modes: internal (INT) and LEARN. Internal mode selects the highest common resolution and audio between the source and all displays.

NOTE: 4K, 3D, and multichannel audio may not be available when using INT (internal) EDID mode. When using this mode, the AT-RON-442 / AT-RON-444 will build an EDID, based on the capabilities of each display that is connected.

LEARN mode will copy the EDID information of the display/sink connected to the HDMI OUT 1 port.

To switch between internal and learn modes, press and hold the EDID button. While EDID is being learned, the LEARN LED will blink. EDID learn is complete when the LEARN LED goes solid.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

How do I perform a rmware update on

the AT-RON-442 / ATRON-444?

Does the Rondo

series provide external automation control?

3D content is not being displayed.

If updated rmware is available, both rmware and update instructions can be found under the Firmware tab of each of the following links. Note that if new rmware is not available, then the Firmware tab will not be displayed.

http://www.atlona.com/product/AT-RON-442 http://www.atlona.com/product/AT-RON-444

No.

• If using INT (internal) EDID mode, all connected displays

• To pass 3D content when not all displays support 3D,

Version 2

must be able to display 3D content. If only one of the connected displays is not 3D-capable, then none of the displays will show 3D content.

connect a 3D display to Output 1, then use the “learn EDID” procedure.
