Defining EDID 
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a 
display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the 
display’s source). The EDID enables the VS-81H 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.  
EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards 
Association (VESA).

About HDMI—General Description 
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital 
audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema 
industry. HDMI ensures an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated 
with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog conversions. It delivers 
the maximum high-definition image and sound quality in use today. Note that Kramer 
Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee.

In particular, HDMI: 
• 
Provides a simple interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-
top box, DVD player, or AV receiver and video monitor, such as a digital flat  
LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy cable 
SIMPLICITY - With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, 
complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in AV systems is reduced 
LENGTHY CABLE - HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable 
construction at up to 15m 
• 
Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel digital 
audio on a single cable 
MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO - HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from 
standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to support 
Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats 
• 
Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, 
with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and 
requirements
