Force the capture card to use a specific EDID
Extended display identification data (EDID) is data provided by a video display device (usually a monitor) to
describe its capabilities to a video source (usually a graphics or video output card in a PC or another device).
The video source uses the EDID to determine the capabilities of the monitor to determine the resolution, color
depth and other settings that the monitor can support.
EDID is crucial for DVI sources but mostly ignored by VGA sources.
