EDIDs
The appliance can store monitor EDIDs (extended display identification data)on connected
UMIQmodules. When a UMIQmodule is connected to a target server, the server will read the EDID
from the UMIQ module and display video according to the resolutions defined within the EDID.
You can modify the EDID stored in the UMIQmodule by selecting one of the pre-defined EDIDs or
you can create a custom EDID based upon a list or imported from an EDIDfile.
The UMIQmodule EDID options are:
• Standard
• Standard 1024 x 768
• Standard 1280 x 1024
• Standard 1600 x 1200
• Widescreen
• Widescreen 1280 x 800
• Widescreen 1680 x 1050
• Custom
Custom EDIDs
The custom option allows the appliance to pass a custom EDID. By selecting custom, you can save
an EDIDfile from a particular monitor and assign it to a UMIQmodule.
You can also load a blank EDID(all 0)to clear the DDCESPROMon a UMIQmodule. This should
prevent the operating system from reading a valid EDIDfrom the module and makes all resolutions
available.
NOTE: For a list of all supported resolutions see Video Resolution on page 136.
To configure EDIDsettings:
1. Click KVMManagement - Default Settings.
