EDID MANAGEMENT FEATURE EDID. What is it and what is it used for? Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require information about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions and features are available. The source can then cater its output to send only resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/ display. This information is called EDID (Extended Display Information Data) and a source device can only accept and read one EDID
