EDIDs
The appliance can store monitor EDIDs (extended display identification data) on connected UMIQ modules. When a
UMIQ module is connected to a target server, the server will read the EDID from the UMIQ module and display video
according to the resolutions defined within the EDID.
You can modify the EDID stored in the UMIQ module by selecting one of the pre-defined EDIDs or you can create a custom
EDID based upon a list or imported from an EDID file.
The UMIQ module EDID options are:
•
Standard

Standard 1024 x 768

Custom EDIDs
