Features

The EDID Reader/Writer can emulate the EDID (Extended Display Identification

Data) information of the attached video display. It stores and recalls a default EDID

settings in non-volatile memory allowing your computer boot directly from EDID

read/write. It can also read and store the EDID of your display and even let you

modify the EDID and upload the modified EDID to displays.

*Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a standard data format that contain

basic information about a monitor

and its capabilities, including vendor information,

maximum image size, color characteristics, factory pre-set timings, frequency range

limits, and character strings for the monitor name and serial number.

The information is stored in the display and is used to communicate with the system

through a Display Data Channel (DDC

)

between the monitor and the PC graphic

adapter. The system uses this information for configuration

purposes, so the

monitor and system can work together.

 Keeps computers from deactivating inactive DVI port
