HDMI/DVI source boot directly from EDID Reader/Writer/Re-timer, and users can detach HDMI equipped
monitor at any time while installing 104026 between HDMI/DVI source and monitor. It can also read and

Features
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a standard data format that contains basic information
about a monitor and its capabilities, including vendor information, maximum image size, color charac-
teristics, factory pre-set timings, frequency range limits, and character strings for the monitor name
and serial number.
The information is stored in the display and is used to communicate with the system through a Display
Data Channel (DDC), which sites between the monitor and the PC graphics adapter. The system uses
this information for configuration purposes, so the monitor and system can work together.
