STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending
on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its
capabilities. The DDC 2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I2C protocol. The
host can request EDID information over the DDC 2B channel.
