3.1 Defining the EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID

7.2

) is a data-structure

provided by a display to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The

EDID enables the VS-66H3 to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to

the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type,

the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data

and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data. See Section for

details on how to acquire the EDID.
