EDID thread (RTD1619DR players)

As I say it depends what you want to (I know you want the best picture!).

If you want to use VS10 SDR then you need the Rec.709 SDR EDID. If you want to try LLDV, then you would use an LLDV EDID but in that case you probably need an HDFury device to send an HDR message to activate the Epson's HDR mode - unless the Epson can be switched manually into HDR - I don't know if it can or not - someone with the same PJ may be able to help there.

 

Hello!

Thanks for your response, so which of these two should I try?
BT.2020 400nit LLDV or this BT.2020 4000nit LLDV.
When I try it I will see if the Epson activates the HDR mode, if it doesn't, I will have to put an HDFury.
I have read several comments about the benefits of this device, but I don't really know how to configure it. If the benefit is really noticeable, I'm not worried about getting one.

Thanks a lot again for everything

 

Definitely the 400nit one.

The Epson will not activate HDR mode on it's own because an LLDV signal does not contain an HDR message so the Epson will assume it is SDR.

You need to activate HDR mode in the Epson manually.

I would recommend an HDFury Vertex 2 (or better) to anyone who considers this a hobby - it's great for trouble shooting and many other things including EDID management.

 

Ok, I'll try the one you suggested.

Thank you very much for everything!!

 

Hello Markswift2003

I'd appreciate it if you could help me remove Dolby Vision from my Sony 49XF9005 EDID. I prefer HDR10.

Thank you.

 

Done.

I notice this is the straight Sony EDID with no amp connection - do you use this with an amp/soundbar or connected direct to the TV?

This EDID only supports PCM, AC3, E-AC3 and DTS.

 

Directly to the TV.

Thank you for this

I’m curious what software are you using to edit the EDID. I’d like to learn how to do this myself.

 

Hello Markswift2003,

Could you help me merge those 2 Edids. I've tried but it's above my knowledge to do it...

Basically I've got a Panasonic TV and and old HK AVR. I use a splitter but HDR info is lost on the way...

I'm trying to use the Video info from the TV and the Audio info from the AVR and merge it into one nice shiny edid file...

And could you also make it 400 nits ?

Thxs a lot

Nicolas

 

Are those two EDIDs downloaded directly from each device?

The reason I ask is that they're both a bit odd.

Also, when you say make it 400nits - what do you mean?

 

Yes first one is Zidoo -> TV, and second one is Zidoo -> AVR -> TV (I used the save EDID function on the edid config page, is it different from the one in advanced settings ?)

for 400 nits, I meant the max nits, but maybe it's only used for LLDV, not sure...

 

Ok, that's how it should be done - it's just the audio entries for the amp are presented oddly.

Max nits in the EDID relates to Dolby Vision TVs only. There is kind of a way to hard code a Max/Min/Average nits in the EDID but it's not a good idea - with HDR10, the file defines its parameters and the TV tone maps according to its specification.

Attached is the TV EDID with the amp audio modes added (properly!)

 

Thxs a lot, you're very efficient

 

Hi Markswift can you please add 1080p missing resolution (23hz,24hz,25hz,etc)

 

When you say "etc" what do you mean?

Current resolutions in that EDID are:

I Only need 1080p23,1080p24,1080p25,1080p30
If you want you can delete Short (5,20,7,22,3,18)

 

Hi can you please help me and add only 1080p30hz,25hz,24hz,23hz.Please

 

Here you go, 1080p23, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p30 added.

I'm curious as to why these VICs are not there in the first place though.

 

My tv is S90C connected via earc with soundbar S990C and my zidoo is connected to my soundbar.This way i can play DTS sounds,but i lose all 1080p resolutions.If a connect my zidoo directly to my tv i have the resolutions but cant play DTS sounds.
I tried connect my zidoo to my tv and export the EDID file,after that i connect back my zidoo to my soundbar and import the EDID file but my tv remote stop working and sometime i lose connection.
I am very grateful the for you help.

 

@XiziX88, what if you connect Zidoo to one of main HDMI ports like 1 or 2 and your soundbar to eARC HDMI port 3?

Wouldn’t that give you all resolutions from the TV and all sound standards from your soundbar?

The TV should detect sound formats from the soundbar and let Zidoo know through automatically generated new EDID.

 

I'm at a loss why those 1080p modes are missing - I've seen soundbars truncate EDIDs before - for some reason they're notoriously crap at EDID handling, but to remove VICs is a bit more specific and kind of can't happen by accident.
