Upload a new EDID

In most circumstances the factory installed default EDID, is sufficient. However, there may be some cases where

a video source uses resolutions that you do not want to use. In that case you can choose an EDID that forces

the Networked VGA Grid's capture card to use a specific set of attributes.

The uploaded EDID is permanently installed on your system and this capture card (a "Source" in the web

interface) will always share the uploaded EDID with the connected video input source.

EDID changes are permanent until you replace them with another EDID or specifically choose to

restore the facotry EDID for a given source. Not even a system-level factory reset removes the

configured EDIDs.
