6.  About EDID memory 

EDID router contains a 116 block non volatile memory bank. EDID List is structured 
as follows: 

1..50  ..................................................................................... Factory Preset EDID list 

51..100 ........................................................................ User programmable memories 

101..108 ( DVI_OUT_1...8) ..................................... Last a

ttached monitor‟s EDID list 

109..116 ( DVI_IN_1...8) ......................................emulated EDID at input connectors 

All  EDID  (including  factory  preset;  user  programmable  memories;  EDID  at  other 
inputs; and EDID at outputs) can be switched and emulated at any of the inputs. 

Info 

The  first  50  EDID  (1…50  inclusive)  are  factory  preprogrammed  and  cannot  be 
modified. These are the most commonly used resolutions. 

Info 

MX8x8DVI  (-DL)  and  MX6x6DVI  (-DL)  can  handle  both  128  Byte  EDID  and  256 
Byte extended EDID structures. 

Info 

The  attached  monitor’s  EDID  is  stored  automatically,  until  a  new  monitor  is 
attached to that particular output. In case of powering the unit off, the last attached 
monitor’s EDID remains in non volatile memory.
