EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This
data is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display then from this
information the source will discover what the best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure issues
do arise when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time
need for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of matrix EDID settings can be achieved in one of the following ways:
1 Using the EDID dip-switches located on the rear of the Matrix
2 Using the Supplied Blustream Matrix IR Remote Control
3 Using the C44 Web browser interface (For further details see ‘Blustream Web GUI Manual’)

EDID
To manage EDID using the App or Web GUI, it is necessary to select the appropriate DIP switch selection on the matrix.
Until the matrix EDID DIP switches have been assigned to 'Soware Controlled EDID', the option to select individual
EDID's per input will remain greyed out within the soware.
