6.5. EDID menu
Advanced EDID Management can be accessed by clicking on the EDID menu. This view
is divided in two segments. The upper segment can be opened by clicking the green
arrow. This segment contains the EDID editor. The lower segment is the EDID router
area. This consists of two list windows, which can display a selected part of the EDID
memory.
Info: When the user enters the menu for the first time, the software starts to download the
whole EDID list from the matrix. It may take about up to 30 seconds.
Info: EDID features are not accessible with certain input and output boards. See chapter 2.3
and 2.4 on page 14 for details.
Please read related sections:
Chapter 4.1 about Understanding EDID on page 33,
Chapter 4.2 about Advanced EDID management on page 34 and
Chapter 5.3 About EDID memory on page 44.
6.5.1. EDID Router operation
After the list is downloaded, the current status is shown. The EDID memory consists of
four parts. Any memory part can be displayed on either side by using the drop down lists.
The Emulated EDID List shows the currently emulated EDIDs for each input. It contains
the resolution, manufacturer and vendor name of the EDID reported to the sources for
each input separately. The source column displays the memory location that the current
EDID was routed from (Mem0 is shown as source if the source was changed after it was
copied to an input). The rows with red background are dynamically routed to the input.
The Last attached Monitor's EDID List contains the resolution, manufacturer and
vendor name of the display devices connected to matrix switcher's output. The matrix
remembers the last display device's EDID, so there is an EDID shown even if there is no
device attached to the router's output at the moment.
The Factory EDID List shows the factory memory locations (F01 – F99) with
preprogrammed EDID.
The User EDID List shows the memory locations (U01 – U50) which can be used by the
user to save custom EDIDs.
Any DVI source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory for the corresponding
port. The user can copy an EDID from any of the three EDID lists to the desired input's
memory location. This is called EDID routing.
