Configuration Pages

The Configuration tab global navigation bar has the following pages:

•Input/Output Configuration – Provides an overview of the current inputs and output configuration (see Input/Output Configuration on page 34).

•EDID Minder – Provides a list of EDIDs and their current assignments and allows changing them (see EDID Minder Page on page 36).

•Image Settings – RGBHV inputs only, provides configuration for the analog inputs to optimize them for scaling (see Image Settings Page on page 38).

•Audio Config – Select the mode of operation for the audio inputs (see Audio Config Page on page 39).

•Device Settings – Selects the priority of auto input switching and sets the tally out LED indicator (see Device Settings Page on page 40).

In addition the AV Controls panel is always present.

Input/Output Configuration

Input Configuration panel

The Input/Output Configuration panel shows the current status of all inputs and the output. In the AV Controls panel click an input to select it for configuration.

NOTE: The signal indicator in the AV controls panel lights green when a signal is present on the corresponding input or orange when there is no signal present.

•Input – This number corresponds to the input number on the rear panel.

•Signal Type – Indicates the source signal type.

•RGBHV – The input is an analog signal.

•Digital Video – The input is an HDMI or DVI signal.

•HDCP Status – This column indicates the HDCP signal status for the digital inputs (3-6) only.

•HDCP Authorized (inputs 3 to 6 only) – Select the HDCP Authorized check box to have the input report as an HDCP authorized device. If the box is not checked the source is blocked from encrypting its output. This may result in content not passed to the output.

NOTE: This option is not available for analog inputs 1 and 2.

This feature influences the ability of a digital input to report as an HDCP authorized sink to a source. Some sources encrypt their output even if the source material does not require HDCP encryption, preventing content from being displayed on a non‑HDCP compliant display. If that happens, the display mutes the video output to black or displays a warning message.
