EDID 101 Features
EDID Minder —
Enables continuous EDID communication
to the input source. EDID provides information about
a display identity. The EDID Minder continuous EDID
communication helps ensure the source boots up properly
and reliably outputs content to the display.
EDID Record —
Enables the device to record EDID directly
from a display.
Pre-programmed EDID —
The EDID 101 contains
pre-programmed EDIDs with the most common display
native resolutions for both 50 and 60 Hz. Along with the
native rate, each pre-programmed EDID also lists other
common video rates for use by the video source.
N
Configuring the EDID 101 rotary and DIP switches
allow a user to select a pre-programmed EDID based on
the native rate of a display (i.e. 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz)
and a desired signal type (i.e. digital), but does not
necessarily force a video source to output that rate. Since
EDID is not limited to reporting a single video rate
(i.e. the native rate), each Extron EDID also lists other
common video rates for use by the video source.
Powered from the video source —
The EDID 101 is powered
from a VGA or DVI video source for normal operation.
An optional external 12 VDC power supply for remote
learning capability is also available.
Power LED
— The side panel LED illuminates green when
power is connected and flashes red during EDID
recording.
Compact size —
Small form factor enables use in places where
space is a premium.
