EDID Minder

The HDMI and RGBHV input groups feature EDID Minder, ensuring that each input source reads the EDID of the output display even when the input is not selected. The result is the video source powers up properly and reliably outputs content when selected.

Depending on the EDID mode selected, the EDID of the connected display is stored in slot 65 (see User assigned EDID Mode on page 16). The user can select an EDID file from the internal list or read the display EDID and store it one of four user slots. Whether stored automatically or manually, the EDID file is written to internal memory for each input.

Automatic Mode

If an output display has never been connected, a default EDID file is placed on the RGB and HDMI inputs according to the following table:

Input Group

Default EDID

RGBHV

HDMI

1920x1080 @ 60 Hz

1080p @ 60 Hz,

2-Ch PCM audio

When a display is connected to the output, the EDID of the display is read and replaces the default EDID on each input. The EDID remains even if the display is removed. If a different display is connected or a user assigned EDID is selected, the previous EDID is overwritten.
