EDID MANAGEMENT
EDID Mode Selection
1. EXTERNAL MODE:
To use this mode, set the EDID Mode Switch on the front panel to the EXT
position. In External EDID mode, the Splitter directly retrieves EDID data
from each connected A/V display device and builds a new EDID created
from the highest common video resolution that all display devices can use
together and the highest audio capability. This new EDID is sent back to the
source device.
If suffi cient EDID data is unavailable from external display devices or EDID-
related problems are encountered, Internal EDID Mode should be used to
provide a single compatible EDID for all connected devices.
2. INTERNAL MODE:
To use this mode, set the EDID Mode Switch on the front panel to the INT
position. This mode will use a preset EDID that is stored in the GefenToolBox
1:4 Splitter for HDMI with FST from the factory. This pre-programmed
standard EDID data structure is compatible with most A/V display devices.
All resolutions and audio formats specifi ed in this EDID will be passed to
the source device. See page 11 for a complete listing of the resolutions and
audio formats listed in this EDID.
NOTE: All other HDMI capable devices/displays connected to the output
ports MUST be compatible with at least one resolution/audio format specifi ed
in this EDID. It is recommended to set, on the source device, a common
resolution and audio format shared by all attached devices/displays. This is
to ensure a compatible signal is output to all connected devices/displays.
