EDID Key-in Procedure
Extended Display Identication Data is a VESA standard data format that contains basic
information about a display device and its capabilities, including vendor information, maximum
image size, color characteristics, factory pre-set timings, frequency range limits, and character
strings for the P5270/P5270 Refresh and serial number.
The information is stored in the display and is used to communicate with the system through
a Display Data Channel (DDC ), which sites between the display device and the PC graphics
adapter. The system uses this information for conguration purposes, so the P5270 and
system can work together.
Note: 1.If a display device has digital input ports, like DVI or HDMI, but without EDID in its
main board, the display device will show no image while the input source is digital
signal.
2.P5270 Refresh is the same as P5270,here we take P5270 for example.
3.After EDID upgrading,please “Default Language Reset“
