Managing EDID video display information

Whenever a Vista DVI Plus unit is powered on (or when the refresh EDID option is
selected from the configuration menu), it will interrogate the connected monitor(s) to
determine whether EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information is
available. If EDID information is available, it will be copied and used; otherwise a
default set of data, stored within the Vista DVI Plus, will be substituted.

The Vista DVI Plus units use our EDID Emulation feature to ensure that the collected
EDID information (up to two pages) is correctly supplied to every connected computer.

The EDID information
can be refreshed with-
out power cycling the
Vista DVI Plus unit.

Enter the configuration
menu (Press computer
button for 5 seconds)
