4.3. EDID Menu
DEFINITION: The
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID)
is the
passport of display devices. It contains information about the
capabilities of the display, such as supported resolutions, refresh
rates, the type and manufacturer of the display device, etc.
See more information in the
section.
Advanced EDID Management is available in the Encoder. Navigate
to the
EDID
menu. There are two panels: the left contains the
Source
EDIDs
, the right panel contains the
Destination
places
where the EDIDs
can be emulated or copied.
4.3.1. EDID Memory Structure
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪
Factory EDID list
shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F132).
▪
Decoder EDID list
shows the EDIDs of the display devices
connected to the assigned Decoders. The Decoders store the
last display devices’ EDID on the HDMI output, so there is an
EDID shown even if there is no display device attached to the
output port at that moment.
▪
User memory locations
(U1 – U5) can be used to save custom
EDIDs. Any EDID from any of the User/Factory/Decoder EDID
lists can be copied to the user memory.
▪
Emulated EDID
shows the currently emulated EDID for the HDMI
input port of the Encoder. The source column displays the
memory location that the current EDID was routed from.
