Figure 1-3 Concept drawing for setting EDID in ODM1818
As depicted in Figure 1-3, once EDID is configured, each EDID is stored in EEPROM at
the front of the DVI Input. As a result, the video sources are able to read EDID from the
EEPROM during boot-up; even though the ODM1818 and connected displays are not
powered on yet.
1.6 Connecting Optical DVI cables and modules for extended distance
ODM1818 supports connection of Optical DVI cables or modules to all inputs and outputs.
The use of copper DVI cables over 3m (10ft.) is not recommended.
