nstallation Diagram
EDID Learning
The Display Data Channel (DDC) is a digital
connection between a computer display and
a graphics adapter that allows the display to
communicate its specifications to the adapter.
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a
data structure provided by a computer display over
the DDC to describe its capabilities to a graphics
card.
The DVS8P does not continue the DDC across the
splitter links and contains its own EDID at the
video source input. Therefore, the EDID on the
DVS8P is used in place of the actual monitors EDID.
In order for the computer to output at the correct
resolution and refresh rates for a specific monitor,
the DVS8P must be loaded with the monitors EDID.
On power-up the DVS8P reads and stores the EDID
of the DVI monitor connected output 1.
IMPORTANT:
The DVS 8P supports VGA or DVI, can not be
used combined or mixed.
