Applying 720p Custom EDIDs on Just Add Power Encoders
Dec 01, 2025
Overview
Just Add Power EDIDs normally request a minimum output of 1080p or 4K. If your source device does not offer a 720p option in its own menu, you can force 720p by applying a 720p custom EDID to the connected Encoder.
Warning: Applying a custom EDID immediately forces the source to re-handshake. The Encoder video preview will drop for several seconds while the source switches to 720p.
Apply 720p EDID to 2G Series Encoder
- Telnet to the IP address of the 2G Series Encoder that should output 720p.
- In the command line, run one of the following commands:
- 720p Stereo EDID

- Done.
Tip: If the source does not switch to 720p, reboot the source device to force a new HDMI handshake.
Apply 720p EDID to Omega/Ultra/MaxColor Series Encoder
Note: Omega & Ultra Series Encoders running B3.X.X firmware or newer already include these 720p EDIDs in the webUI.
- Open the webUI of the Omega/Ultra Series Encoder connected to the source.
- Go to the Video tab and find the EDID Settings section.
- Set Startup EDID = Custom. A text box will appear.
- Copy and paste one of the following EDIDs into the Custom field:
- 720p Stereo EDID

The Encoder video will drop briefly as the source switches to 720p.
- Click Refresh under EDID Details to confirm the EDID was applied.
