Selecting the EDID mode of the KVM extender
The EDID information (
Extended Display Identification Data
) of a monitor inform the
graphics card of a connected computer about different technical device features. The
information are usually transmitted via Enhanced-DDC (
Enhanced Display Data Chan-
nel
) from KVM extender to the computer without alteration.
A special EDID mode can be activated if the computer connected to the KVM
extender is assembled with a
Barco PVS
graphics card. This mode considers the spe-
cial treatment of EDID data by the graphics card.
Some resolutions can be selected using a special GUD profile. The profile names
refer to the resolution that is transmitted to the monitor when using this profile
Alternatively, the EDID profile of a monitor can be read in. The extender transmits
the profile to the connected computer. Detailed information about this topic is given
in the separate manual for the
Config Panel
web application.

This function can only be (de)activated in the web application.
