Introduction

 

 

 

The 

EX-G043 EDID Reader/Writer

 is a device that can emulate the EDID (Extended Display 

Identification Data) information. It stores and recalls a default EDID setting in non-volatile memory 

allowing your computer boot directly from EDID Reader/Writer. It can also read and store the EDID of 

your display and even let you modify the EDID and upload the modified EDID to displays. 

 

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a standard data format that contains basic 
information about a 

monitor

 and its capabilities, including vendor information, maximum image size, 

color characteristics, factory pre-set timings, frequency range limits, and character strings for the 
monitor name and serial number.   

The information is stored in the display and is used to communicate with the system through a 
Display Data Channel (

DDC

), which sites between the monitor and the PC graphics adapter. The 

system uses this information for 

configuration

 purposes, so the monitor and system can work 

together.
