1. Introduction

The Comprehensive CSW-HD440NEXT with simultaneous CAT5e/6/7 and
HDMI outputs connects four HDMI sources to eight displays. This matrix
features four HDMI outputs and each HDMI output is mirrored to provide a
CAT-Cable output which runs simultaneously. It supports the transmission of

video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD) and supports high resolution digital
audio formats such as LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and
DTS-HD Master Audio. Connect an IR Receiver to each of the CAT-Cable

outputs to extend the HDMI signal up to 164ft for multi-room connectivity. It

works with Blu-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game
consoles that connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times
by any display by selecting it via the supplied IR Remote Control, RS-232,

TCP/IP or by using the selection buttons on the front panel. This device supports
High Definition Audio, and 3D signal compatibility.

EDID. What is it and what is it used for?

Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require
information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions and
features are available. The source can then cater its output to send only
resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/display.
This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data)
and a source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected
device/display. Likewise, the source an only output one resolution for use by a
connected device/display.

Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix ?

The Matrix is complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between
multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require one EDID
to read. EDID management is carefully handled by HDMI Matrix to provide a
single EDID for each source to read.

What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix ?

First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one
video/audio signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple
devices/displays are used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to use
devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions/features. This will
ensure that the single video/audio signal produced by the source device is
accepted by all of the connected output devices/displays.The user has the
option, through the EDID management window, to choose how the unit will
manage the EDID from multiple HDMI devices/displays. Therefore the user has
some control over the resolutions/features that the source devices will output.
The HDMI Matrix for has a multiple EDID management modes that will control
how the EDID information from multiple devices/displays are combined, ignored,
and routed.
