Input EDID Menu (sample)
EDID is a VESA standard data format that contains information about a display device and
its capabilities, including the preferred (as well as the allowed) device resolutions.
The PDS’s EDID file is stored in non-volatile memory. This file is read by a computer's DVI
graphics card during boot-up, when its DVI output is connected to a DVI-I input connector
on the PDS system. The PDS must be powered on first for the EDID information to be read.
