EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data
is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre-determining
the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand
shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable. Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be
achieved using the following RS-232 commands to specify the required EDID:
EDIDxxDFzz
Where xx = Input: 00 refers to ALL inputs; 01 = input 1 (HDMI 1); 02 = input 2 (HDMI 2); 03 = input 3 (USB-C)
zz = EDID as shown below:
zz=00: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM
zz=01: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 5.1ch PCM/DTS/DOLBY
zz=02: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 7.1ch PCM/DTS/DOLBY/HD
zz=03: HDMI 1080i@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM
zz=04: HDMI 1080i@60Hz, Audio 5.1ch PCM/DTS/DOLBY
zz=05: HDMI 1080i@60Hz, Audio 7.1ch PCM/DTS/DOLBY/HD
zz=06: HDMI 1080p@60Hz/3D, Audio 2ch PCM
zz=07: HDMI 1080p@60Hz/3D, Audio 5.1ch PCM/DTS/DOLBY
zz=08: HDMI 1080p@60Hz/3D, Audio 7.1ch PCM/DTS/DOLBY/HD
zz=09: HDMI 4K2K@30Hz, Audio 2ch PCM

Loading A Custom EDID
A custom EDID file can be loaded into the HEX31WP-TX. Some custom EDID’s can be found on Blustream’s website, or
use a 3rd party EDID tool to create a custom EDID. To load an EDID onto the HEX31WP-TX complete the following steps:
1) Rename the EDID file to be “EDID.bin”
2) Copy the EDID.bin file to a USB drive
3) Connect the USB drive to the HEX31WP-TX Micro-USB upgrade port (a USB to Micro USB cable may be required)
4) Connect your PC to the HEX31WP-TX RS-232 port via a serial RS-232 cable, see page 06 for RS-232 information
5) Send the command: EDID SAVE zz (where zz = 19 or 20 - see above) to save the EDID from the USB onto the
HEX31WP-TX into EDID position 19 or 20
6) Send the command: EDID 00 DF zz to recall the EDID for all inputs where zz is the position the EDID (19 or 20)
