4.4.2. Advanced EDID Management
Factory preset EDIDs
The factory EDIDs (F1-F136) are factory preprogrammed and cannot be modified. These
are the most common resolutions. They are specially provided to force graphic cards to
output only the exact pixel resolution and refresh rate.
Universal EDID allows multiple resolutions including all common VESA defined resolutions.
The use of universal EDID is recommended for fast and easy system setup.
Sources and Destinations
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪
Factory EDID
list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F136).
▪
Dynamic EDID
list shows the display device connected to the device's outputs. The
unit stores the last display devices’ EDID on either output, so there is an EDID shown
even if there is no display device attached to the output port at the moment.
▪
User memory
locations (U1 – U14) can be used to save custom EDIDs.
▪
Emulated EDID
list shows the currently emulated EDID for the inputs. The source
column displays the memory location that the current EDID was routed from.
The source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory on the INPUT port. Any EDID
from any of the User/Factory/Dynamic EDID lists can be copied to the user memory.
There are two types of emulation:
static
and
dynamic
.
▪
Static EDID emulation
: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected. Thus,
the Emulated EDID remains the same until the user emulates another EDID.
▪
Dynamic EDID emulation
: it can be enabled by selecting D1 or D2 EDID memory. The
attached monitor’s EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to the
output, the emulated EDID changes automatically.
