Administration and use of EDID profiles
The EDID information (Extended Display Identification Data) of a monitor inform the
graphics card of a connected computer about various technical features of the
device.
The EDID profile of the monitor that is connected to the user module is not availa-
ble at the target module. Therefore, the target module transmits a standard profile to
the computer. The EDID information of this profile are optimised for the majority
of available graphics cards.
We provide additional profiles for special resolutions.

monitor that is connected to the KVM switch.
