EDID Mode Selection

The VS1814T / VS1818T offers an easy and flexible EDID Mode selection method using the rear panel EDID Mode Switch.

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data format that contains a display's basic information and is used to communicate with the video source/ system.

Simply press the EDID Mode pushbutton to toggle between the Default and other EDID Settings (0~7), as follows:

Š0 (Default) – EDID is set to the ATEN default configuration

Š1 (Port 1) – Implements the EDID of the connected display to Port 1, and passes it to the video source

Š2 (Auto) - Implements the EDID of all connected displays. The VS1814T / VS1818T uses the best resolution for all displays

Š3 (Learn) - Uses the EDID configuration acquired from the EDID Learning process.

Š4 ~ 7- Reserved.

You can also select the EDID Mode using RS-232 commands. See RS-232 Commands, page 13 for details.

Installing the RS-232 Controller

In order to use the RS-232 serial interface to attach a high-end controller (such as a PC) to the VS1814T / VS1818T, use a serial cable such as a modem cable. The end connecting to the VS1814T / VS1818T should have a 9-pin male connector. Connect this to the serial interface on the rear of the VS1814T / VS1818T.

See RS-232 Commands, page 13 for details.
