2.2 EDID Information

Most video sources have the capability to output in multiple formats. The supported video resolutions and formats are
stored in Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). Some video sources will query the attached display's EDID to
assess supported resolutions and then output the highest common format. Other video sources will not query and instead
start outputting in a pre-determined format. Each SVSi encoder acts like a display to a video source and comes pre-stored
with a specific EDID indicating supported resolutions and formats. N-Able software allows an encoder to be loaded with the
EDID from a particular display. This may be necessary to restrict the video source output format to only those supported by
a particular monitor. Alternatively, enabling scaling on the encoder allows selection of a format that may be compatible with
the display.

2.3 HDCP

Copy-protected content cannot be transmitted by SVSi's Networked AV products as shipped from the factory. Please
contact SVSi if your video distribution requirements include fair-use or owner-created content.
