EDID Management
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID)
is used by the source device to match its video
resolution with the connected display(s). By
default, the source device obtains its EDID from
the first connected display. However, since
displays with different capabilities are often
connected to the splitter, the 3-pin DIP switch on
the front panel and the 4-pin DIP switch on the
rear panel can be used in combination to set the
EDID to a fixed value for ensuring video
compatibility for mixed display setup.

Predefined EDID
When the 3-Pin DIP switch on the front panel is in
PRESET mode, the 4-Pin DIP switch on the rear
panel can be used to set the EDID to a built-in fixed
value. Use the following table to determine the
settings for the 4-Pin DIP switch for specific video
resolution and audio capabilities.
The lower switch position represents "0", and the
upper switch position represents "1".
