Add EDID
If additional EDID definitions are required for
your installation, you can clone new definitions
from connected video displays and add these to
the list of available definitions.
Click the [+] icon to begin collecting a new EDID
from a display attached (via a DDX-USR module)
to one of the switch ports.
Click the EDID dropdown list and choose the
appropriate receiver (DDX-USR module) from
which you wish to clone a new EDID profile. Then
click the Add EDID button.
For details about applying an EDID to a particular
computer, see
Configure > Computers >

Manage EDIDs
This page lists the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
profiles that are currently available:
• EDID
- shows the resolutions and refresh rates for all profiles
that are currently stored.
• Type
- indicates where each EDID profile originated: Fixed
EDIDs are included within the switch firmware and cannot be
removed. User EDIDs are those that have been cloned from
particular video displays attached to DDX-USR modules -
these can be deleted if required. On the main
Central Switch
> General
page you can select the ‘Default System EDID’
from the list of fixed and user EDIDs.
• Originating Port
- indicates which switch port supplied each
user EDID.
• Active Transmitter Ports
- indicates which transmitters (if any)
are currently using each EDID.
Note: The DDX switch will modify the EDID, if a Dual link monitor
is connected, to list only the video resolutions that it is capable of
supporting.
