DIP#1: Auto EDID Management (ADM) is a smart function which will allow users to have matrix switch figure out the best and most appropriate EDID.

The way it works: Atlona 8x8 matrix acquires EDID from all the outputs and after processing it, chooses the EDID which will work on all the outputs.

Example # 1: User has 8 outputs connected where 6 of the outputs are 1080P TV’s only and the other 2 loca- tions are 720P TV’s. The Atlona’s EDID would be 720P with 2-channel Stereo (because most TV’s will only be able to take stereo audio though HDMI input).

Example # 2: User has 8 outputs connected, where 6 outputs are 1080P TV’s and the remaining are 2 x Sur- round Sound Receivers (after connected to the TV’s for video only). The Atlona’s EDID would be 1080P with Stereo or PCM (because most TV’s will only take Stereo Audio though HDMI input).

Remark: If you don’t like the Auto EDID Management functions, switcher has some pre-recorded modes which will certainly satisfy you.

DIP#2: This function is very similar to Note # 1; however it is designed for users who have very long CAT5/6/7 cables and signal is going in and out. This DIP Switch setting will replace some of the hdmi control signals with video, which will allow picture to stabilize.

DIP#3: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with Stereo Au- dio. When this mode is selected the deep-color will be disabled. Deep-color will only work on new TV’s which were built after April 2009. If you know that one of the displays doesn’t support deep color, we suggest to use this setting or DIP # 1 setting for signal to be reliable.

DIP#4: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with 5.1 Digi- tal Audio. When this mode is selected the deep-color will be disabled. Deep-color will only work on new TV’s which were built after April 2009. If you know that one of the displays doesn’t support deep color, we suggest to use this setting or DIP # 1 setting for signal to be reliable.

This mode is designed for applications where user has AV Receivers in each remote location which are able to accept Digital Audio from HDMI inputs. If this mode is selected and in even one of the locations user has a TV without an AV receiver, the TV might “mute” or start outputting garbled audio (because most TV’s don’t support digital audio though HDMI input)

DIP#5: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with Stereo Au- dio. When this mode is selected the switcher will pass deep-color. Deep-color will only work on new TV’s which were built after April 2009. If you know that one of the displays doesn’t support deep color, we suggest using DIP # 1 or DIP # 3 setting for signal to be reliable.

DIP#6: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with 5.1 Digital Audio. When this mode is selected the switcher will pass deep-color. Deep-color will only work on new TV’s which were built after April 2009. If you know that one of the displays doesn’t support deep color, we suggest using DIP # 1 or DIP # 3 setting for signal to be reliable.

This mode is designed for applications where user has AV Receivers in each remote location which are able to accept Digital Audio from HDMI inputs. If this mode is selected and in even one of the locations user has a TV without an AV receiver, the TV might “mute” or start outputting garbled audio (because most TV’s don’t support digital audio though HDMI input)
