5.5.2. Advanced EDID Editor
This powerful tool is essential for AV professionals. The Lightware Advanced EDID Editor
is integrated into the Lightware Matrix Controller software, and makes it possible to
manage every setting in the EDID on an intuitive user interface. The editor can read and
write all descriptors, which are defined in the standards, including the additional CEA
extensions.
Any EDID from the device’s memory or a saved EDID file can be loaded in the editor. The
software translates the raw EDID, and displays it as readable information to the user. All
descriptors can be edited, and saved in an EDID file, or uploaded to the device’s
memory.
By clicking on the green arrow, the editor area rolls down.
