EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data
structure that is used between a display and a source.
This data is used by the source to find out what audio
and video resolutions are supported by the display
then from this information the source will determine
what the best audio and video resolutions need to be
outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting
a digital display to a source a simple plug and play
procedure issues do arise when multiple displays or
video matrix switching is introduced because of the
increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio
format of the source and display device you can reduce
the time need for EDID hand shaking thus making
switching quicker and more reliable. Settings for EDID
Video and Audio resolutions can be found on the right.
Configuration of Matrix EDID settings can be achieved in one of three ways:-
1
