Change emulated EDID at one or all inputs

All EDID are enumerated in the switch EDID list. If you want to modify the current
emulated resolution you can select one from this list. There is static EDID
emulation or dynamic EDID emulation.

- Static EDID emulation means, when an EDID from memories 01..100 is

selected and emulated at input(s)

- Dynamic EDID emulation occurs, when an attached monitor’s EDID is

emulated at input(s), simply copying the data from the monitor. This EDID
changes automatically, if a new monitor is attached to the output.

1.

Select the desired EDID from Switch EDID list ( from #1..100 through
DVI_IN_1 ..to DVI_IN_8)
