EDID Management
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to
match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device
obtains its EDID from the first connected display. Meanwhile, since the displays with
different capabilities are connected to the splitter, the 3-pin DIP switch on the front
panel and the 4-pin DIP switch on the rear panel can be used in combination to set the
EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in video resolution.
