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
the Networked VGA Grid'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.
