6. Operation of the EDID management   

CSW-DVI440A matrix switcher is built in the EDID management database. The EDID management can 

be automatically shake hand, or manual exchanged, and factory restore. 

 

6.1    EDID automatically shake hand 

The  CSW-DVI440A  matrix switcher is built in the EDID data, which can communicate with the 

displayers and video source automatically. When the displayers or video sources are connected to the 

CSW-DVI440A matrix switcher, they will share the EDID/DDC information with the matrix switcher.   

 

The communication solution is like this: 

 

 

The  CSW-DVI440A  EDID database includes most popular displaying data, but not all the displaying 

data because of the capability and firmware limitation. So, we can manually refresh the EDID data to 

update the EDID data base. 

 

6.2  EDID management of CSW-DVI440A 

The RS232 commands for EDID management of CSW-DVI440A  include: ”EDIDMon.” & ”EDIDMoff.”   

(Please notice the text-transform, and the dot in behind.) 

These two commands only accept by CSW-DVI440A, in the other CSW-DVI440A matrix models they 

are unavailable. 

 

6.2.1 Erase and Refresh the EDID data 

When the “EDIDMOn.” is sent, CSW-DVI440A will auto copy the mix EDID data of all outputs. It means 

the CSW-DVI440A will erase the old EDID data, and copy the EDID data which all output displays have.   

 

6.2.2 EDID restore to factory default 

When we send the “EDIDMoff.” to the CSW-DVI440A matrix switcher, it will recover the factory default 

EDID data.
