EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data
is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre-determining
the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand
shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved using the following RS-232 commands to specify the
required EDID:
EDIDxxDFzz
Where xx = Input: 00 refers to ALL inputs; 01 = input 1 (HDMI 1); 02 = input 2 (HDMI 2); 03 = input 3 (USB-C)
zz = EDID as shown below
zz=00: HDMI 1080p@60Hz, Audio 2ch PCM
