3.1 Defining the EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID 2
7.2
) is a data-structure
provided by a display to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The
EDID enables the VS-66H3 to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to
the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type,
the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data
and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data. See Section for
details on how to acquire the EDID.
1 Suitable for resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions
