23. Problem I have an MX16x16DVI Plus and I m using a Lightware factory preset EDID I would like to be able to choose from different resolutions but my source allows only one resolution Solution Most Lightware factory preset EDIDs allow only one resolution forcing the sources to output only that particular signal You need to select a Universal EDID It supports all common VESA resolutions Additionally it also features audio support 3 2 Advanced EDID Management Info Info Each DVI sink e g monitors projectors plasma displays and switcher inputs must support the EDID data structure Source BIOS and operating systems are likely to query the sink using DDC2B protocol to determine what pixel formats and interface are supported HDMI standard makes use of EDID data structure for the identification of the monitor type and capabilities Most DVI sources graphic cards set top boxes etc will output DVI signal after accepting the connected sink s EDID information In case of EDID readout failure or missing EDID the source will not output DVI video signal MX16x16DVI Plus provides Lightware s Advanced EDID Management function that helps system integration The built in EDID Router stores and emulates 100 EDID data plus all monitor s EDID that are connected to the output connectors First 50 EDID are factory presets while memories 51 to 100 are user programmable The router stores the EDID of all attached monitors or projectors fo
