EDID Setup

EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) is a data structure provided by a digital display to

describe its capabilities to a video source. This data is also known as a “handshake” and typically
includes manufacturer, serial number, product type, resolutions supported by the display, display
size, pixel mapping data, etc.

Key Digital EDID Control allows the integrator to choose the handshake that will be provided to
source devices of the system. The EDID handshake is relayed to the source from the Champion
Series switch, not from any of the displays/output devices of the system. This handshake will
always be the EDID information that the source device receives.

To change the EDID of the system, press the following buttons on the Key Digital IR Remote
control: R2 » R1 » R3 » XX.

The XX characters will be replaced with the two digit number that corresponds to the EDID you

wish to set. Use the below chart to nd the various EDID settings. The default EDID is ‘00’--Copy

EDID from output 1.

The possible EDID settings can range from ‘00’ to ‘12’. (‘00’ is the default).

00 Copy EDID from HDMI Output 1 07 3D, 2Ch Audio

01 1080i, 2Ch Audio 08 3D, Dolby/DTS 5.1

02 1080i, Dolby/DTS 5.1 09 3D, HD Audio

03 1080i, HD Audio 10 1280x1024 DVI

04 1080p, 2Ch Audio 11 1920x1080 DVI

05 1080p, Dolby/DTS 5.1 12 1920x1200 DVI

06 1080p, HD Audio

Addressing Mode

Units may be addressed when used in a cascaded conguration. To address your Champion

Series switch, press the following buttons on the Key Digital IR remote control:

R2 » R1 » R3 » XX

The XX characters will be replaced with the two digit address you wish to assign to the unit.
The default address is 00--Single unit mode.
