EDID Minder Controls
Video sources communicate with the output device through the bi-directional Extended
Display Identification Data (EDID) communication protocol. The output device then produces
a signal with a resolution that is compatible with the display device.
The Extron EDID Minder feature maintains continuous EDID communication with the
attached sources and ensures that the video sources power up correctly and maintain a
proper video output, even if the display is off or a new monitor is connected to the output.
e
