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 acheived in one of four ways:-
1 Using Matrix PC Soware (See ‘Blustream Matrix Soware Guide’ for further details available at www.
blustream.co.uk)
2 Using Matrix web browser interface (See ‘Blustream Web Browser Interface Guide’ for further details
available at www.blustream.co.uk )
3 Using Matrix Front Panel Buttons (For further details see page 6)
4 Using Supplied Blustream Matrix IR Remote Control (For further details see page 13)
