Other DDC Support

Automatic EDID Updates

Applicable to models without keyboard and mouse support and rackmount models (ST-C5xxxx-600M).
The 15HD connector on many models provides local video as well as DDC support. The EDID data is updated automatically at
initial power-ON or whenever a different monitor is connected to the Local Unit.
connected to the Local Unit. For that reason, it is recommended that the monitor connected to the Remote and Local Units be
the same model. The Local Unit and the monitor must both be powered-ON prior to the CPU in order to update the EDID data.
Note: The ST-C5xxx-L-600M Local Unit will not store the EDID data. A monitor must be connected to the Local Unit each
time the CPU is power cycled in order for EDID data to remain current.
Note: When an ST-C5KVM(xx)-R-600 Remote Unit is used with an ST-C5KVM(xx)-L-600M (Rackmount Local Unit),
Automatic EDID Update will work as described above. DDC Update via Command Mode (as described on the previous
page) will not be supported at the Remote Unit.
