GPU

This panel is divided in two tabs: EDID and Eyefinity tabs.

!If you use the try&learn version on your notebook, some features won’t be available (hardware dependant). It’s not possible to use the EDID, Eyefinity.

EDID:

This tab allows you to remotely force the EDID of the output directly in the graphics card. It works with AMD FirePro/RadeonPro graphics cards only.
EDID forcing allows you to force a resolution and frequency for the output, and to start your computer in the correct resolution when nothing is plugged or not powered (a video projector in standby for example).
Forcing EDID is one of the first step before starting a new project.

You will see the list of all outputs with the name of the EDID if there is something connected.
If the EDID is forced, “FORCED EDID” will be displayed in green next to the output connector.

You can then select the outputs you want to force with an EDID.
Choose an EDID among the list of validated official EDID.
Then choose the correct Mode before applying the EDID:
Single Link: If your resolution is up to 1920×1200@60fps
Dual link: If your resolution is more than 1920×1200@60fps but less than 4K@50fps
4K50-60P: Choose this option when you want to do 4K on a single output (DP or HDMI 2.0).
Once you have chosen, click Force EDID.

Disable Force EDID: This removes forced EDID.
First, select the outputs where you want to deactivate EDID.

It’s possible to save and recall custom EDID.
Go to the user subtab for that.
To save an EDID: Plug a monitor or projector or mixer with the EDID you want%(marker-orange) to grab,% select the output plugged, and click on “save current EDID”.
You will be prompted to enter a name. The EDID is saved in the media server in the folder Documents/Modulo Player/EDID.
Once it is saved, you can use this EDID like an official EDID.

*The EDID is forced directly in the graphics card. It has nothing to do with the type of adapter you will be using (a DP to DVI active adaptor for instance).

*Active or not active Adaptor cables:
The term “active” means that there are electronic components hidden in your adaptor.
To power them, there are special pins conducting the power on the Displayport plug. Active adaptor is mandatory when you want to convert from DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI when you want to use Eyefinity with AMD graphics card.
It’s mandatory to use the exact same active adaptor on each outputs of the server to avoid any tearing on some outputs.
If you need to connect to a DisplayPort device: you just need a simple passive DisplayPort cable.

*Create custom EDID: To create a custom EDID, the best is to use dedicated tools.
You can use CRU to EDID or create a new EDID from scratch.
You can also try this tool advantiv-edid-editor or this Extron tool EDID Manager

Eyefinity:

Eyefinity allows you to create an extended desktop in the AMD graphics card.
Click on “create Eyefinity” to configure extended display.
Select the Outputs, then specify the number of outputs in rows and columns. Click OK.

To verify Eyfinity on the Server via Windows: Go to Windows desktop on the Windows «screen resolution» panel (right click on the Windows desktop).
The displayed resolution has to be an addition of the outputs. If not, repeat the process.

To verify Eyfinity via the remote application: You can check the resolution using the General tab on the main menu of the remote software.
Once AMD is configured, exit Settings and start the Modulo Player application.
