4.8.2 COPY MODE：：：：

To fully support the TV resolution and audio mode, the matrix provides “copy mode” to copy TV EDID for input source reference. When use the copy mode, is recommended to copy the lowest resolution TV EDID. Otherwise it may cause no picture display if the TV resolution is not able to support higher resolution.

After entering COPY MODE menu, press UP or DOWN button to select the OUTPUT (1 to 4) and press ENTER, then press UP or DOWN button to select the INPUT (1 to 4 or ALL) and press ENTER to confirm. Only connected output will be shown in OUTPUT list.

Warning: Copy the EDID of the lowest resolution monitor to ALL sources is the shortest way to ensure that all monitors will show the image.

4.8.3 I. EDID MODE

In this mode, the MATRIX checks all the connected monitors and copies the EDID of the monitor that presents the lowest resolution. This EDID is then transmitted to all sources. E.g., if there is a monitor 1080p and a monitor 720p, the matrix transmits to the sources the EDID of the 720p monitor.
