3.1 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID
1
) is a data-structure,
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is
connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the
source
(for
example, a PC) to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output.
The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing
data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for
digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.
