There are two types of EDID emulation: static and dynamic.
Static EDID emulation happens, when an EDID from the Factory or User EDID
list is selected. In this case the Emulated EDID will remain the same until the user
emulates another EDID.
Dynamic EDID emulation can be enabled by selecting D1 or D2 EDID memory.
The attached monitor’s EDID is copied to the input; if a new monitor is attached to
the output, the emulated EDID changes automatically.
