Frequently Asked Questions - OMX-EDID-EM1 Ocean Matrix

How do I power the OMX-EDID-EM1?

The unit can be powered either via the USB Mini-B port (5V/500mA) or through the HDMI input if the source device provides bus power. The included Mini-USB to USB Type A cable can be connected to a USB port on the display or another power source.

What are the default EDID presets?

There are 8 default EDID presets: 1: DVI (no audio), 2: 1080p@60Hz 8-bit LPCM 2CH, 3: 1080p@60Hz 12-bit LPCM 2CH, 4: 3D/1080p@60Hz 12-bit LPCM 2CH, 5: 4K×2K@24/25/30Hz LPCM 2CH, 6: 1080p@60Hz 8-bit LPCM 5.1CH, 7: 3D/1080p@60Hz 12-bit Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio, 8: 4K×2K@24/25/30Hz or 3D Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio.

How do I learn a display's EDID?

Connect the display to the HDMI output. Set the Emulator/Bypass switch to Emulator and the Rd/Wr switch to Rd. Press the Select button for 3 seconds to enter Learned mode. Use the Select button to choose one of 8 memory slots. Press the SET button for 3 seconds. If the STATUS LED lights green, learning succeeded; if red, it failed.

How do I write EDID to a display?

Connect the display to the HDMI output. Set the Emulator/Bypass switch to Emulator and the Rd/Wr switch to Wr. Use the Select button to choose the desired EDID setting (Learned or Default 1-8). Press the SET button for 3 seconds. The STATUS LED blinks during writing. Green indicates success; red indicates failure. If the LED does not blink and stays red, the display's EDID is not writable.

What is the difference between Emulator and Bypass mode?

In Emulator mode, the source reads the EDID stored in the unit (either default or learned). In Bypass mode, the source reads the EDID directly from the connected display, bypassing the unit's memory.

Can I use this device with DVI sources?

Yes, you can use a HDMI to DVI adapter to connect a DVI source to the HDMI input. The unit supports DVI EDIDs via default preset 1 (DVI no audio).

What is the maximum HDMI cable length supported?

The unit supports up to 32.8 feet (10 meters) at 1080p with 12-bit color, and up to 16.4 feet (5 meters) at 4K×2K resolution.

Does the OMX-EDID-EM1 support CEC?

Yes, the unit supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) pass-through, allowing CEC commands to travel between the source and display.

How do I reset the unit to default settings?

The unit does not have a factory reset button, but you can use the default EDID presets by pressing the Select button for 3 seconds to toggle to Default mode. The built-in presets are always available and cannot be overwritten.

What should I do if the STATUS LED shows red during EDID learning?

A red STATUS LED indicates failure. Ensure the display is properly connected and powered on. Check that the EDID switch is set correctly (Rd for read). If the problem persists, try a different HDMI cable or another display.

EDID Learning Procedure

To Read the EDID

1. Connect a display to the HDMI output.
2. Set the Emulator/Bypass 2 switch to Emulator first then set the Rd/Wr 1 switch to the Rd (Read) position.
3. Press the Select button for 3 seconds to put the unit into Learned mode.
4. Press the Select button repeatedly to cycle through to the required 1 to 8 EDID setting.
5. Press the SET button for 3 seconds to write the EDID to the corresponding memory as indicated by the LED.
6. When the STATUS LED illuminates in green, the EDID learning has been successful. If the STATUS LED is red, the learning failed.

To Write the EDID

1. Connect a display to the HDMI output.
2. Set the Emulator/Bypass 2 switch to Emulator first then set the Rd/Wr 1 switch to the Wr (Write) position.
3. Press the Select button repeatedly to cycle through to the required Learned/Default 1 to 8 setting.
4. Press the SET button for 3 seconds to overwrite the HDMI display EDID setting. The STATUS LED will blink during the writing process.
5. When the STATUS LED illuminates in green, the EDID writing has been successful. If the STATUS LED is red, the writing has failed. If the STATUS LED did NOT blink and is red, then the display's EDID is not writable.

Warning: Once the writing is complete, the original EDID will be erased. We recommend you back up the original EDID settings by storing them in the unit prior to performing the overwrite.
