EDID Minder

EDID information consists of the display resolution, refresh rate, data rate type, and video
format. EDID Minder maintains EDID communication to the connected source, ensuring that
the source continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, regardless of the input that is being
selected or is actually connected. You can assign a unique EDID file to an input, emulating a
sink device that has the desired characteristics.
The DVC has nine slots to which EDIDs can be assigned:

VGA EDIDs (slots 1 through 7) — These factory-provided EDID files can be
assigned to slots 1 through 7 via SIS commands. Each EDID file contains a unique
native resolution. See the EDID Minder SIS commands
Configuration Software help file for more information.
Output slot (slot 8, default EDID) — This slot contains the EDID of the connected
sink. When a sink is detected, this slot also detects the HDMI format EDID of the sink
and converts it to VGA format before saving it to the output slot. When the sink is
disconnected and power is cycled to the DVC, the EDID is removed from this slot and
replaced by the default EDID: 1280 x 720 @ 60 Hz. You can assign a different EDID to
this slot only via the PCS software (see the program help file).
User-assigned EDID (slot 9) — This slot is available to import an EDID. The user slot
can be assigned only to the VGA input and initially contains the default VGA EDID. You
can assign an EDID to this slot only using the PCS software (see the program help file).
