You can force the EDID of the HDMI input source directly in Modulo Kinetic Designer remotly. To do so, click on the force EDID button and select the appropriate EDID for the incoming signal.
It’s possible to check “Force all VNode” to do a force EDID on all VNode in your show.
Once you click Apply, the computer (input source) will flash briefly. Once the EDID forced, a green notice will appear for some seconds confirming that the EDID was loaded with success. Click on Back to return to the deltacast window, and click on Autosetup.
It’s possible to use a custom EDID (User tab). If the EDID is not already in the list you can copy it manually to the Kinetic Designer Documents folder > Modulo Kinetic> deltacast_edid folder and use them in the user tab.
