We will now force an EDID on the 4 outputs and setup Eyefinity to create an extended desktop over the 4 screens.
EDID stands for Extended Display Identification Data.
We use the term to refer to a standardized data exchange where a display communicates its capabilities to a source device, thus enabling it to automatically generate the necessary video characteristics matching the needs of the display.
When we refer to forcing an EDID we configure the output(s) of our V-Node’s graphic card to generate a video stream with specific characteristics, thus ignoring any EDID data coming from the display. This insures we create a stable stream across all our outputs and have a reliable extended desktop, regardless of whether the displays are powered on and capable of sending EDID data to the server.
Setting up the V-Node
Refer to this step from Part 1 to setup the V-Node server.
Once the setup is complete, you can move on to the next step.
