Figure 15. Resolution and Refresh Rates

When a new custom rate is captured or uploaded, the On-screen Display (OSD) dynamically updates with the new rate for that custom slot. For example, if a custom 480p EDID is uploaded to slot C1, the LCD would read “C1: 720x480”. These three custom slots are shared between custom output resolutions (based on preferred timings 1 block) and custom EDID tables, which can be assigned to any input.
