12 Formats and EDID
12.1 Formats
In Formats, create and manage up to 16 custom formats. Custom formats are very useful for LED wall
applications and non-standard display applications (ex: pixel frequency over 165MHz or Dual-link outputs
with single link formats 2400x700@60Hz).
Custom formats can also be used to create custom EDIDs and then reset or request the preferred EDID of
connected outputs and inputs.
Custom format creation is separated in two modes:
- In CVT mode, set the width, height and rate of the format and indicate if the format has reduced blanking
intervals. The system computes the remaining format parameters according to the CVT 1.1 standard.
- In FULL mode, set all the parameters of the format (H&V front porch, H&V sync, H&V back porch, width,
height, sync polarity, ...).
