x_percentage = (width_of_bezel_between_active_screens / width_of_active_screen) * 100
y_percentage = (height_of_bezel_between_active_screens / height_of_active_screen) * 100
The bezel measurement is therefore the total of the top and bottom bezels in the y case, or the left and right bezels
in the x case. When this value is set correctly, images spread across multiple screens take account of the bezel
widths, leading to better alignment of images.
• SaveEdids(filename As String) As Boolean: Saves the EDID information of the display(s) connected via
HDMI and/or VGA. The EDID fields are saved sequentially as raw binaries into the specified file. The EDID sets are
two 2kb each, resulting in a maximum file size of 4kb. This method returns True upon success and False upon
failure.
• GetEdidIdentity(a As Boolean) As roAssociativeArray: Returns an associative array with EDID
information from a compatible monitor/television connected over HDMI. These are the possible parameters:
o serial_number_string
o year_of_manufacture
o monitor_name
o manufacturer
o text_string
o serial_number
o product
o week_of_manufacture
The system will generate an roHdmiEdidChanged event when an HDMI cable is hotplugged and the EDID
information changes. Calling
GetEdidIdentity(1) at this point retrieves the new EDID information.
