CHAPTER 4: EDID MANAGEMENT
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure generated by a digital display to communicate its capabilities, such as
its native resolution, to the attached source device.
The splitter supports MIX EDID, Fixed EDID and Copy EDID functions. The desired function can be set using the EDID rotary switch on
the rear panel. When connected to multiple displays simultaneously, the splitter will compare the EDID of all displays and output the
corresponding video resolution and audio channel depending on the switch setting.
The default setting is at position “0.” Set the EDID using the following table:
