EDID
MAX Matrix Router provides Auto EDID management system; easy and fail-safe
way to handle EDID, via EDID library system and EDID emulation.
What's EDID?
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is an information set that digital
display provides to describe its capabilities to a Video source. Video source will
know what kinds of displays are connected and it will determine which resolution
to Output according to the EDID information received from the display.
The EDID normally includes manufacturer name and serial number, sets of
capable resolution including native resolution, supported timing, pixel mapping
data (for digital displays only) , etc.
In a digital connectivity environment; in order to support the maximum resolution
of a connected monitor, an EDID handshake is critical because improper EDID
handshake between sources to the display will result in no image on the display.
EDID handshake may sound simple; however, with multiple peripheral devices
within the chain, display's EDID information easily get lost or blocked while it is
traveling to the source device.
MAX series Matrix Router provides Auto EDID management system to meet
today's sophisticated digital connectivity integration environment.
Auto EDID management system
EDID library
14 Most widely used EDID data is pre-programmed internal EEPROM chipset
which the user can take and save onto any of the Matrix Router's Input
EEPROM.
EDID library list
By optimizing factory default EDID and EDID library features, in most cases,
MAX Matrix Router will work out of the box without any additional configuration.
Emulation
The user can easily save an EDID data from any display devices directly onto the
Matrix Router's Input port or EDID library's empty spot. By saving the display
device's EDID information on the Matrix Router Input port, the Input port will act
as a display to the Video source.
Note) There may be display devices that do not allow other devices
to emulate its EDID data.
