Position 4: Adaptive EDID
 Analyzes the EDIDs of all the display devices in the
chain, and generates an EDID that represents them all.
 Allows dynamic changes to the chain. However adding
a less robust display device to the chain will make other
display devices glitch for a fraction of a second as
settings are downgraded.
In short, Positions 1 and 2 establish generic EDID
settings that never change, regardless of the display
devices being used. Positions 3 and 4 establish EDID
settings that depend on the display devices, and are
typically more optimized for such devices.
If the user selects an EDID setting which a given display
device does not support, that device will not function.
EDID resolutions are only taken into account when an
HDMI source is auto-negotiating resolutions.
Color Depth
The color depth of a display device refers to the ability
of its constituant pixels to display color. This ability is
typically expressed in terms of bits: The greater the
number of bits, the greater the number of different
colors that a pixel can display. An 8-bit color depth (per
color channel) is standard.
The term Deep Color refers to a color depth of 30 bits or
higher (10 bits per color channel or higher in the RGB
model). Consequently, a display device with a color
depth of 30 bits or higher is known as a Deep Color
display.
