5.5. EDID menu (TX200R/TX100R)
Advanced EDID Management can be accessed by clicking on the EDID menu. This view
is divided in two segments. The upper segment can be opened by clicking on the green
arrow in the top left corner. This segment contains the EDID editor. The lower segment is
the EDID preset area. This consists of two list windows, which can display a selected part
of the EDID memory.
Info When the user enters the menu for the first time, the software starts to download the
whole EDID list from the device. It may take a few seconds.
5.5.1. EDID operation
After the list is downloaded, the current status is shown. The EDID memory consists of
four parts. Any memory part can be displayed on either side by using the drop down lists.
The Emulated EDID List shows the currently emulated EDID for the HDMI INPUT. It
contains the resolution, manufacturer and vendor name of the EDID reported to the
source. The emulated EDID can only be selected by the rotary switches on the INPUT, to
keep consistency.
The Last attached Monitor's EDID List contains the resolution, manufacturer and
vendor name of the display device connected to the device's MONITOR OUT. The unit
remembers the last display devices’ EDID on the output, so there is an EDID shown even
if there is no display device attached to the HDMI-OPT-TX200R’s MONITOR OUT at the
moment.
The Factory EDID List shows the factory preprogrammed EDID information on the
#01..#50 memory locations. These locations can be reached by selecting #01..#50 on the
EDID ADDRESS rotary switches.
The User Memory shows the user programmable, custom EDID information on the
#51..#99 memory locations. These locations can be reached by selecting the EDID
ADDRESS rotary switches.
