Using the Hotkeys will switch both USB 1 and USB2 (Ctrl + Alt + U) to a

Managing EDID video display information
Whenever a MultiVideo DVI unit is powered on (or when the refresh EDID option is
selected from the configuration menu), it will interrogate the connected monitor(s) to
determine whether EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information is
available. If EDID information is available, it will be copied and used; otherwise a
default set of data, stored within the MultiVideo DVI, will be substituted.
The MultiVideo DVI units use our EDID Emulation feature to ensure that the collected
EDID information (up to two pages) is correctly supplied to every connected computer.
In the MultiVideo DVI dual, tri, or quad units, the EDID Emulation and Hybrid DDC
features ensure that separate EDID data from each video display will be distributed
through to the appropriate video adaptors within each computer.
The EDID information
can be refreshed with-
out power cycling the
MultiVideo DVI unit.
