EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID®) is used to inform the video source device
of the audio and video capabilities of the connected display. This happens automatically
when a source device is connected directly to a single display. However, since up to four
different displays can be connected, the EDID must be set to a value that is common to all
connected displays.
The 4-pin DIP switch on the rear panel can be used to set a fixed EDID
value for use by all connected source devices. Refer to the following table
for the different EDID settings. Note that the switch represents 0 when it is
down in the Off position and it represents 1 when it is up in the On
position. The switch settings are applied from left to right, 1 to 4, so 0001 has switches 1, 2,
and 3 in the 0 Off position and switch 4 is in the 1 On position. The default DIP switch
setting is 0000.
