2. Why is EDID so important with the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix The 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix is a complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between multiple inputs and outputs Each connected source device will require one EDID to read EDID management is carefully handled by the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix to provide a single EDID for each source to read What options do have to manage the EDID in the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix First it is important to note that each source device can only output one video audio signal type This includes resolutions and timings When multiple devices monitors are used such as with the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix it is important to use devices monitors that have similar or compatible resolutions and features This will ensure that the single video audio signal produced by the source device is accepted by all of the connected output devices monitors The user has the option through utilization of the RS 232 serial interface to choose how the unit will manage the EDID from multiple DVI devices monitors Therefore the user has some control over the resolutions and features that the source devices will output The 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix has a Local EDID management mode that will control how the EDID information is handled How do change EDID modes in the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix EDID modes are managed via Telnet RS 232 control pages 17 27 or through the built in Web interface pages 56
