CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal
and the same video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the
system. When there are multiple sources and displays, the video resolution and
audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted to correspond with that of the
display having the lowest video and audio capability.

FEATURES
INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVMX4444 HDMI 4x4 Matrix Selector Switch allows 4 HDMI
sources to be distributed to up to 4 displays simultaneously. Have multiple sources
displayed simultaneously on any display or have a single source duplicated on multiple
displays, exibility for the perfect solution. With an output bandwidth of 6.75 Gbps over
HDMI, the EVMX4444 is capable of full 1080p HD video and HD multi-channel audio
distribution with simple control using the front panel or remotely via IR Receivers at display
locations. Also features EDID management, which allows and encourages source and
display “handshake” for seamless integration. In addition, EVMX4444 is also equipped with
RS-232 and LAN connectivity which allows for rmware updates and third party integration.
For reliable, no-nonsense HDMI distribution and control on a budget, over short distances,
the EVMX4444 Matrix Selector Switch is a great choice for any application.

EDID
The EDID switch allows for EDID learning or to pre-set an EDID to encourage a “handshake” between the
display and source.
The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever any display on the HDMI output port is not outputting
audio and video properly. Because the HDMI source devices and displays may have various level of capability in
playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source device will output the lowest standards in audio
format and video resolutions to be acceptable among all HDMI displays connected. In this case, a 720p stereo
HDMI signal output would be probably the safest choice. The EDID function can also force the matrix to learn
the EDID of the lowest capable HDMI display among others to make sure all displays are capable to play the
HDMI signals normally.
There are two methods for EDID Learning as shown below:
1. IR Remote Control: Please refer to the Operation Control – IR Remote Control
section
2. Software Control: Please refer to the Operation Control – EDID section
EDID Settings:
There are eight embedded default EDID settings as shown below,
1. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 2ch
2. Full-HD(1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 7.1ch
