Use the EDID command to read and display monitor data (manufacturer, monitor name, serial number, etc.) from the monitor’s
EDID memory. If VIDEO OUTPUT is set to “auto,” the ServSwitch 4site Flex uses the optimum output resolution offered by the
EDID.
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a VESA standard data format that contains basic information about a monitor and
its capabilities. This information is stored in the monitor by the manufacturer and can be read by ServSwitch 4site Flex or graphics
card via a monitor cable’s Display Data Channel (DCC) interface.
NOTE: EDID information can be copied to the four inputs and is then available for the connected sources. See COMPUTER >
EDID/DDC.
