EDID MANAGEMENT
External EDID Management
The GefenToolBox 1:4 Splitter for HDMI features EDID Management. Before the source can send video or audio signals to the display, the source devices reads the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) of each device connected to an output. The EDID contains information about what type of A/V data that the source can send to each display.
GefenToolBox 1:4 Splitter for HDMI distributes a single source to multiple output devices. This involves reading EDID data from more than one device. Management of the EDID data is important to maintain compatibility between all devices.
Display Connections
•If a display is not connected to Output 1, then no EDID changes are made, meaning that the previous EDID information will be used. This state will be in effect until a display is connected to Output 1 and the Splitter is power- cycled.
•EDID is copied from Output 1 to all other outputs. The audio block will be copied from Output 1.
3DTV Support
•3D signals are supported if a 3DTV is connected to Output 1.
Deep Color
•Deep Color will be disabled if one of more other displays connected to the Splitter do not support Deep Color.
