1.5 EDID Control and Configuration
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is an information set that is provided by a
display to describe its capabilities to a graphic source. It enables a graphic source to
identify the connected display.
The information set includes: manufacturer, product type, phosphor or filter type, timings
supported by the display, display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) pixel
mapping data.
Once the graphic source reads the information set (usually during the booting process),
the EDID determines the optimal format for a connected display.
ODM1818 supports storing of EDID information to an EEPROM for each Input by
dedicated PC software.
ODM1818 has two-way EDID settings, default EDID from factory and direct readout of
stored EDID of any target display. The default EDID setting from the factory is 1080p
(1920 x 1080) @ 60Hz for all inputs.

USER MANUAL
DVI MATRIX ROUTER –ODM1818
ODM1818 Manual - Edition 7a Page 8
Figure 1-3 Concept drawing for setting EDID in ODM1818
As depicted in Figure 1-3, once EDID is configured, each EDID is stored in EEPROM at
the front of the DVI Input. As a result, the video sources are able to read EDID from the
EEPROM during boot-up; even though the ODM1818 and connected displays are not
powered on yet.
1.6 Connecting Optical DVI cables and modules for extended distance
ODM1818 supports connection of Optical DVI cables or modules to all inputs and outputs.
The use of copper DVI cables over 3m (10ft.) is not recommended.

interface cannot be used.
For its device installation and instruction, refer to the Proprietary PC Software Operation
in Chap. 3.4.
3 Operation
ODM1818 has various operational interfaces: Front Panel Key Input, Serial Command Lines,
Graphic Interface on web control panel (WCP) and Proprietary PC Software through RS-232,
Ethernet or USB.
Graphic Interface or Proprietary PC Software is the most efficient since all other methods use
command line interface.
3.1 Front Panel Operation
Please Refer to Chap. 2.2 for detail explanation of front keys functions.
Front Panel Operation examples:
18 Displays with 3 different typed of EDID:

15 Source 15 Display 15 (EDID type A)
16 Source 16 Display 16 (EDID type C)
17 Source 17 Display 17 (EDID type C)
18 Source 18 Display 18 (EDID type C)
The arrows represent:
Input 1 to Output 1 and 15
Input 2 to Output 2
Input 3 to Output 3
Input 15 Output 16
Input 16 to Output 17
Input 17 to Output 18
Input 18 no connection
Operation is executed in two steps:
Set EDID for each Input port for proper graphic signal transmittal.
Configure Input-Output for cross switching as configured above.
1) Press FUNCTION key eight (8) times –LCD will display EDID save:
Configuration like below
=========EDID Connection========
I: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
O: 1. 2. 3. x. x. x
=========EDID Connection========
I: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.12.
O: x. x. x. x. x. x.
=========EDID Connection========
I: 13. 14. 15.16. 17. 18
O: x. x. 16. 17. 18. x.
2) Press ENTER to save.
[Note 1] If a source is connected to two or more different displays, assigning the lower
resolution EDID to Input port EEPROM is highly recommended. Assigning
higher resolution will show „OUT OF RANGE ‟on the display.
