3.6. EDID
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is data
that describes the capablities of a display device to a
source device. The EDID includes the resolutions and
modes supported by the display device.
In the context of MuxLab’s HDMI 1x4 Distribution
Hub, the source device consists of the HDMI source
(typically a DVD player), and the display device
consists of the remote & local displays (typically TVs),
to which the Distribution Hub is connected.
The user sets the EDID via a four-position selector
located on the back panel of the Distribution Hub
(Figure 6). Each position communicates a different
EDID setting to the HDMI source, establishing the
resolution and mode at which the HDMI source will
send data to the display devices.
