Selecting the EDID mode of the KVM extender
EDID information (
Extended Display Identification Data
) of a monitor informs the gra-
phics card of a connected computer about different technical device features. The
information is usually transmitted via Enhanced-DDC (
Enhanced Display Data Chan-
nel
) and without any alteration between KVM extender and computer.
Special GUD profiles are provided for some resolutions. The names of these profiles
contain information about the preferred resolution that is transmitted to the graphics
card of the computer when using this profile.
As an alternative, you can use the web application
Config Panel
to read out the EDID
profile of a monitor. The KVM extender then transmits it to the connected com-
puter. Detailed information about this topic is given in the separate manual of the
web application
Config Panel
.
