DEFINITION: The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is the passport of the display devices. It contains
information about the capabilities of the display, such as supported resolutions and audio formats, refresh
rates, the type and the manufacturer of the display device, etc.
Advanced EDID Management is available in the Encoder. Navigate to the EDID menu. There are two panels:
the left contains the Source EDIDs, the right panel contains the Destination places where the EDIDs can be
emulated or copied. See more information in the
The EDID Menu (in an Encoder)

5.8.1. The EDID Memory Structure

The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪ Factory EDID list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F132).
Decoder EDID list shows the EDIDs of the display devices connected to the assigned Decoders. The
▪
Decoders store the last display devices' EDID on the HDMI output, so there is an EDID shown even if
there is no display device attached to the output port at that moment.
▪ User memory locations(U1–U5)canbeusedtosavecustomEDIDs.AnyEDIDfromanyoftheUser/
Factory/DecoderEDIDlistscanbecopiedtotheusermemory.
▪ Emulated EDID shows the currently emulated EDID for the HDMI input port of the Encoder. The source
column displays the memory location that the current EDID was routed from.
