EDID Management
The stock EDID for the inputs of the FLX-88 is 1280x1024 (computer video input) and 1080p with stereo
audio (consumer video input). In order to change the EDID information for an input, the EDID copy
command will need to be sent to the matrix via RS232 or TCP/IP.
The FLX-RI4 input card ignores the EDID settings since there is a scaler engine on each input to output a
pre-defined video resolution.
Copy EDID
To copy the EDID information from output 3 to input 1, transmit the following command:
EDIDM03B01.
Advanced EDID
The FLX-HO4A and FLX-BO4A support [2] EDID Copy modes;
FULL copy and HYBRID copy. The copy mode can be set by
output. On each card, you will find [4] DIP switches near
the back of the PCBA (card must be removed from matrix).
Each DIP switch corresponds to an output of the card. Set
the DIP switches ON for FULL copy mode. Set the DIP
switches OFF for HYBRID copy mode.
When the output is set to FULL copy mode, the entire EDID
table will be copied from the display (sink) to the input.
This accomplished via RS232 or TCP/IP command.
When the output is set to HYBRID, the EDID table that is copied to the input comes from two locations.
The video information, including Preferred Native Timing is retrieved from the display (sink) that is
connected to the output. The audio information is overwritten by a 48kHz PCM stereo audio preset.
Copying EDID with this HYBRID mode will ensure that all your sources output a format that is compatible
with the audio de-embedding circuit.
