EDID Setup

EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) is a data structure provided by a digital display

to describe its capabilities to a video source. This data is also known as a “handshake” and
typically includes manufacturer, serial number, product type, resolutions supported by the
display, display size, pixel mapping data, etc.

Key Digital EDID Control allows the integrator to choose the handshake that will be provided
to source devices of the system. The EDID handshake is relayed to the source from the

Champion Series switch, or from the rst connected display (default setting). This handshake

will always be the EDID information that the source device receives.

To change the EDID of the system, press the following buttons on the Key Digital IR Remote
control: R2 » R1 » R3 » XX.

The XX characters will be replaced with the two digit number that corresponds to the EDID

you wish to set. Use the below chart to nd the various EDID settings.

EDID Setting

› The default EDID is ‘00’--Copy EDID from output 1.

The possible EDID settings range from ‘00’ to ‘12’. (‘00’ is the default).
