Defining the EDID profile to be used
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, which is connected to the user module, is not
available 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.
How to choose the EDID profile to be transmitted to the computer:
1. In the directory tree, click KVM Matrixsystems > [Name] > Target modules .
2. Right-click the target module you want to configure and click on Configuration on
the context menu.
3. Use the EDID entry to select between the standard profile ( Device specific default pro-
file ) or another profile from the list.
4. Click OK to save your settings.
Reducing the colour depth of the image data to be transmitted
In the default settings of a target module, the central module transmits the image
information with a maximum colour depth of 24 bit to the user module.
Using a high resolution and displaying moving images can result in the user module
“skipping” several images.
In such cases, reduce the colour depth if the image data to 18 bits, which reduces the
data volume to be transmitted.
yes: Support for servers of IBM’s RS/6000 series is activated
no: Support for servers of IBM’s RS/6000 series is deactivated
ADVICE: In some cases it is recommended to read out the EDID profile of the console
monitor (see page 79) and activate the configuration of the target module afterwards.
NOTE: The names of the special G&D profiles provide information on the reso-
lution and refresh rate for the profile.
For example, the
GUD DVI1024D4 060 1280×1024/60 profile is provided for a reso-
lution of 1280×1024 pixels at 60 Hz refresh rate.
NOTE: Depending on the image contents, reducing the colour depth may result in
slight colour grades.
