HDMI video Switch with Edid Minder

Hello all,
I have this unit goo.gl and trying to switch between two laptops HDMI video sources running to a projector.
Left Laptop a 2012 Macbook Pro (mini Display to HDMI). Right Laptop i7 Asus (mini Display to HDMI).
Left Laptop running Serato DJ Pro/ME/Resolume. Right Laptop running Virtual DJ.
I picked up the Extron Switcher to maintain the connection on the secondary screen on both laptops. The Asus laptop with Virtual DJ has no issues maintaining it's image when I change video sources to the Macbook Pro.
However, when I change from the Macbook Pro to the Asus Laptop, then back. I have to sometimes unplug/replug the HDMI cable from the Macbook Pro to get the video to come back on.
Any ideas how I can stabilize the image come from the Macbook Pro?
Thanks for any advice!
(Thinking of maybe switching to a VGA solution).

Else, does anyone have a best practice on switching between video signals between two laptops going to a projector?

So both are actively plugged in, but when you hit the switch button on the Extron it's tripping up? It might be a resolution thing tripping stuff up.
I sometimes had that issue without a scaler that leveled the playing field until I got an app called "Display Menu" to consistently set the extended desktop I was pushing full screen videos to a projector from two different sources (macbook pro and a satellite box).

popnwave, I owe ya a beer buddy!
Setting the outputs to 720P (1280X720) on both laptops external display seemed to have solved the issue. Thanks!

By factory default, the EDID stored on all inputs contains information for
a native resolution of 720p @ 60 Hz, 2-channel audio on the Extron products. Anyone know an alternative for 1080p at the same price range as the Extrons?
