USING A PRE-PROGRAMMED EDID

USING A PRE-PROGRAMMED EDID

The DVI Detective Plus includes 5 built-in manually-selectable generic EDIDs 
(display identities) for forcing several standard home theater setups with multi-
channel audio and standard HDTV resolutions. This functionality is vital when 
equipment reaches a state of indeterminate function and will not respond to signals 
or controls properly, and a certain resolution size with specifi c audio must be forced 
upon all connected equipment. Below is a table with the listed resolutions, refresh 
rates, and audio channels for each pre-programmed EDID.
