3.3 Defining the EDID
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data
The EDID includes information, such as, the name of the manufacturer, product
type, timing data supported by the display, display size, luminance data, and (for
digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.
) is a data-structure that the display
provides to describe its capabilities to a graphics card connected to the display’s
source. The EDID enables the source, such as a PC, to “know” what kind of
monitor is connected to the output.
The
WP-121
is supplied with a default EDID, but it can also store and recall EDID
data in non-volatile memory, allowing convenient and reliable connection to the
source.
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
Achieving the best performance means:
•
Utilizing only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels
(often associated with low quality cables)
•
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and positioning
your

away from moisture, excessive sunlight, and dust
