What is EDID?
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is an information set that digital display provides to describe its
capabilities to a Video source. Video source will know what kinds of displays are connected and it will determine
which resolution to Output according to the EDID information received from the display.
The EDID normally includes manufacturer name and serial number, sets of capable resolution including native
resolution, supported timing, pixel mapping data (for digital displays only), and etc.
In order to support the maximum resolution of connected monitor, EDID handshake is a critical because improper
EDID handshake between sources to the display will result in no image on the display.
EDID handshake may sound simple; however, with multiple peripheral devices within the chain, display's EDID
information easily get lost or blocked while it is traveling to the source device.
HTX series matrix switcher provides Auto EDID management system to meet today's sophisticated digital
connectivity integration environment.
EDID library
15 most widely used EDID data is pre-programmed internal EEPROM chipset which user can take and save onto the
any of the matrix switcher's Input EEPROM.
By optimizing factory default EDID and EDID library feature, in most cases, HTX series matrix switcher will work out
of the box without any additional configuration.
Emulation
The user can easily save an EDID data from any display devices directly onto the matrix switcher’s input port. By
saving display device's EDID information on the matrix switcher input port, input port will act as a display to the
video source.
Note(s):
There may be display devices that are not allowing other device to emulate its EDID data.
Certain EDID data may not be compatible with some devices, in this case, it is recommended to use
scaling option
