As part of the system design process, EDID design is as important as the selection of sources, displays, and DM components. Designing an EDID configuration and manually setting the EDID ensures that all source devices provide the output that meets the expectations of the end user. When designing an EDID configuration, consider the following scenarios: ● Scenario 1: Source devices are user-provided laptops, and end users expect laptop mirroring. For best results, include the native resolution of each laptop in the EDID configuration. To achieve this, select several popular resolutions and ensure that all selected resolutions are supported by all displays in the system.
