Force the capture card to use a specific EDID
Upload a new EDID
In most circumstances the factory installed default EDID, is sufficient. However, there may be some cases
where a video source uses resolutions that you do not want to use. In that case you can choose an EDID that
forces Pearl's capture card to use a specific set of attributes.
The uploaded EDID is permanently installed on your system and this capture card (a "Source" in the web
interface) will always share the uploaded EDID with the connected video input source.
EDID changes are permanent until you replace them with another EDID or specifically choose to
restore the facotry EDID for a given source. Not even a system-level factory reset removes the
configured EDIDs.
