The EDID memory is non-volatile and consists of four blocks, each for
a different purpose. These blocks are:
▪ Factory preset EDIDs
▪ User saved EDIDs
▪ Dynamic EDIDs
port)
▪ Emulated EDIDs
EDIDs are numbered from 1 in each block, and they can be referred as
This way F02 refers to the second factory preset EDID and D15 refers
memory structure is as follows:
▪ F01..F99 .................Factory Preset EDIDs (not editable)
▪ U01..U50 ................User programmable memories
▪ D01..Dxx .................
▪ E01..Exx .................Emulated EDIDs (inputs)
All EDIDs (including factory preset; user programmable memories;
EDID at other inputs; and EDID at outputs) can be switched and
emulated at any of the inputs.
ATTENTION!
until a new monitor is attached to that particular output. In the case
non-volatile memory even is the monitor is unconnected.
INFO: MX-CPU2 can handle both 128 Byte EDID and 256 Byte
extended EDID structures.
EDID Types
Most of the factory preset EDIDs include only one resolution. This
is to force the connected source to give a signal with the needed
resolution. However there are Universal EDIDs as well which allow
many resolutions. The factory EDIDs are divided into groups regarding
their type. Some EDIDs are supporting DVI only, some support HDMI,
and some are for analog VGA signals. Also, there are some EDIDs for
Dual Link DVI resolutions. See the list of factory EDIDs in the Factory
EDID List section.
DVI EDIDs does not support audio. The Universal DVI EDID indicates
support for many PC (VESA) resolutions.
HDMI EDIDs support embedded audio. These EDIDs have PCM stereo
audio format enabled. To allow other audio formats like Dolby and
DTS, special EDIDs have to be used. There are three Universal HDMI
EDIDs which include the same resolutions but support different
capabilities.
Analog EDIDs can be used for input ports which have a VGA (RGBHV)
source.
Dual Link DVI EDIDs does not support audio. Use only for Dual Link ports.
Audio Options
The matrix routers which contain any affected board have extended
audio options. These options about choosing the HDMI embedded
an output. (On an input port the auxiliary audio can be input or output
and the output port is the same.)

Legend of the Figures
Audio de-embedder: Audio de-embedder is able to separate the HDMI
video and audio.
Audio embedder: Audio embedder is able to add an audio stream to an
HDMI video which does not contain audio.
Interface and I/O switcher:
the audio port as an input or an output and converts the analog input
signals to digital and the digital output signals to analog.
