6. Best Practices
Once the system is installed and the configuration has been uploaded to the Host, this section shows some best practices for testing a Savant IP Video
system.
PAV-VIMxS/PAV-VIMVP1x/PAV-VIM1C
Initial Audio and Video setup/testing should be done using the default Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). The default EDID has support for PCM
audio up to 8 channels and video resolutions up to 4k 60hz 4:2:0 8-bit.
PAV-VIMAPxS
Initial Audio and Video setup/testing should be done using the default EDID. The default EDID has support for video resolutions up to 4k 60hz 4:2:0 8-bit,
and most encoded audio formats.

Testing
Every source should be tested with every A/V zone. Savant recommends testing a single source with one A/V zone at a time.
1. Activate the first Video source to a single Zone.
2. Does Video pass?
A. NO: Check System Monitor for the resolution of the Input and then the output, if using a video processing VOM scale the VOM to 1080p. If 1080P
passes, the TV or the HDMI cable may not support the current resolution of the source that is being routed to the TV through the Savant Video
system.
B. YES: Check Audio
3. Does Audio pass?
A. NO: In System Monitor set the audio path policy for the PAV-VOM to “Downmix”. If audio is still not present verify audio is enabled on the source.
B. YES: Continue to the next Zone.
4. Repeat with the same source until all Video zones have been tested. Repeat with all other Video sources in the same manner as shown above.
After this testing is complete. Add more advanced EDIDs and test again.
