EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre- determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable. Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following RS-232 commands to specify the required EDID:
EDIDxxDFzz
