EDID, extended display identification data, is information which enables
a graphics adapter source to output a graphics standard best suited for
the connected display monitor. This information includes the display
resolution and frame rate.
Linx Switcher
supports EDID management
providing a choice of what EDID to supply to the source and arbitrates
when an input is routed to multiple output ports connected to displays of
differing capabilities.
